time:12:23 PM Faith is to believe in what you cannot see.& the reward for that faith is to see what you believe.(: i guess we got our reward yesterday.-----------------------------------------------Hwachong A Div' girls 2007- Nationals 2nd. tremendously good results; 2 places up frm last yr's 4th.Here's the overall placing for the A Div'girls:1st- NJC (duhh)2nd-HCI3rd-PJC4th-ACJC5th-RJCthe Hwachong A Div' Boys came in nationals 2nd as well. congrats!GOOD JOB teammates!7 snrs,8 jnrs.5 boats into finals ( rj had 7)who says a small team can't work wonders?----------------------------------------------------Just saw this post from huiwen's blog:"it's been a long 1.5 years already and time really flies.i remembered the first time i saw you all, yanhan was this very small and cute girl who looks like she is going to be eaten up on a t1 with super zai leadership positions at sn, sophia was a very easy to talk to person and was extremely talented on a t1 because she was so fast that i had to paddle with her while the other seniors took care of the rest, lihui was this uber cool [and pretty, though i hate to admit it :P] girl from the class bench right beside me, yihang was this quiet girl from my junior class who suddenly popped out in march saying she wants to join canoe after evonne left, yimtong was this weird girl who was very weird during open house back in 2005 [i'm really sorry yt :P], rimmel was this siao girl who came down with ritchell one fine day while she was still in nj,chiaming was the first 3months person who left supposedly for sywo and ended up joining touch but in the end still came back in sept. everything seemed like just yesterday, and suddenly, all of you became the tough and strong girls of hcanoe "-----------------------------------Its quite unbelieveable to look back now...When haoxia left for the states on the 6thofjune, leaving a bunch of girls suddenly coach-less, a bunch of girls who couldnt yet quite see what was to come without him in the next crucial mth leading up to nationals.But he left with us concrete plans, kaiwenfionahuiwen, and most imptly-a cause worth fighting for & a dream to realise.im glad tt we didnt let him down, and tt we did him proud.really.its not an easy fight against all the other schools-with everybody training under similar intensity, all paddling their hearts out regardless of rainorshine.i must say it was really heartening seeing all the snrs, grandsnrs, grandgrandsnrs coming back to provide guidance during all the trngs. it just shows tt no matter which batch you belong in, we are still onebigfamily. Heartfelt thanks to kaiwenfiona&huiwen for playing such pivotal roles in our last stretch of paddlinglife. i hope our growth as a team is the best thing we can give back to you. ............................................+ ......+

..."Being in Hcanoe means that you'll always be loved"
we all carried forward little regrets here&there from nationals but if you ask me, years down the road, as of now, i'll thank god more for this experience than anything else. the way i've been so motivated by the sport, so inspired by the people and so loved by my teammates.
----------------------------
anw,
yesterday there was this girl from RJC who claimed to be a reporter from straits times.
she persistently insisted for an interview.
so being anxious to eliminate that irritating disturbance so that we could proceed to hug scream&celebrate, we gave it to her.
And guess wad?
This morning i saw my name in the papers,
with it quoting WORDS WHICH NEVER FREAKING CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH:
"i could compete this year because there's extra slots."
come on, with our small team of 15-
there's no lack of vacancies i tell you.
we couldn't even max our events. which require a min team of 20.
ah, the way media works-
makes me disgusted, appalled and repulsed.
----------------------------------------------
Anyway,
last night we had dinner at novena's FISH&COLE=D
a pity sophylo, cm and yihang couldnt make it due to the prolonged delay of the lorry's arrival..
Elected the new committe for team2008.
i think xinyi will be a good captain,
and xinhui the auntie should be able to complement her well.
GOGOGO my k4 partners!
Bring hcanoe girls to greater heights next year:]
HAHA. and we had a mini stayover at mel's house last night.
with yanhan,yimtong,xinyi & slyvia.
mel was busily trying to fix her mic & webcam to converse with haoxia frm the other side of the globe while we stoned in front of her huge plasma watching SHE's The MAN.
(and sylvia despite watching it e 2nd time, laughed the loudest throughout)
Woke up this morning to find yh missing! - gone to pacify rc:P
So after luxuriously indulging in crystal jade's eggtarts, charsiew su, and yam pastaries bought by mel's wonderful mummy-
we headed down to Thomson's ROTIPRATAHOUSE for the crispy pratas.
(didn't order any though cause i think it looks oily=X)
& aft that we'r actually on the bus down to town to catch HARRYYY.
cause on a friday morning theres no worry bout tickets being sold out.
but i alighted midway cause i decided that saving up money is a more pertinent pressing priority=(
-which is all why im here nibbling my peanutbutterwaffle and nua-ing in front of the comp typing this entry on such a lovely friday afternoon when i could be out WATCHING HARRRYY=(
---------------------------------------------
anyway life's gonna be so different without paddling, gyming, &enduring all those shit with teammates.
After one & a half years,
its OVER.
but it will not end here (:
FORNOW though, time to hit the books.
*photos later*
