hmmm.. today was a great day.. was my 2nd sprinting competition, MR 500.. which was being held at seletar reservoir.. and today is also the first time i witness dragon boat race.. kinda interesting.. today team ngee ann did their best and everyone row with no regrets.. for those first time participating in sprinting competition, take this as a good experience for the future..

got there at 0915am and waited 6hrs for my race.. but in between, get to see my team mates competing.. shouted to the top of my voices and cheer out loud for them.. cheering is very impt as it really boost the morale of the person who is racing.. so lucky to see my francis doing the filming at the ending point.. luckily he was there, can talk cock with him.. haha.. then after tt saw syahir.. think he was with his gf but he din want to let me know.. hohoho.. anyway, althouhg clemence, alfred and jia ying got 3rd and 2nd position, but they are not qualified.. kind of sad.. but once again, winning is not everything..

got 4th for my race.. i felt tt i have given my best, but actually i lack of endurance.. spectator's comment is the best feedback ever.. i'm sorry partner(bernard) if we got 4th because of my lag of endurance.. but at least we manage to win nyp... lol.. nothing to be proud of anyway.. then once again, watch my other team mates race and cheer for them.. after the race, there was this AAR(after action review).. but they call it debrief anyway..

at the debrief, everyone say out their own comments.. when its my turn, i donno wat to say, then anyhow shoot.. i doubt if anyone knows what i am driving at.. it seems tt at this debrief, many things were being shoot out.. come to think of it, i really feel guilty.. in the previous post, i say that i lag of motivation and determination to attend training, but a person who is really passionate and love this sport, will never say this kind of shit things.. come to think of it, i am just giving myself the excuse of skipping training.. then after the debrief, i really wish to change myself.. and attend each and every training wholeheartedly.. a person who wants to clinch a medal or gain something, he had to work hard for it.. if one times is not enuff, he will work 2-3 times harder for it.. this time i really hope tt i will not be a NATO(No Action Talk Only) kia.. i wanna be serious le.. other than this, discipline is also very impt.. this really shows tt i lag of discipline.. few years ago, after i passed out from NCC specialist course, i thought of how to tekan my cadets.. by askin them to do push up, spelling the DISCIPLINE word.. each alphabets 10 push up.. and will add up a total of 100 push ups.. maybe i should do this punishment myself.. should do 20 or 30 push up for each alphabets instead..

i don really like my own character.. got alot of bad points.. but bad points can be corrected, its up to myself.. all in the mind.. however, its definitely not easy.. anyway, just to say this MR 500 really let me think of alot of things.. anyway, ngee ann sprinters, u really did a good job today.. =)


Never give up...
