MY DEDICATION TO BLITZKRAFT - CJC CANOEING TEAM
OK, it's like 3am in the wee hours of yet another Sunday morning...not really tired yet. In fact, we just came home from a late nite (or shd I say early morning) supper @ Northbridge, coz we didn't take our dinner earlier.
Anyway, back home now sitting at my study table looking at some of the photos pasted on my wall. I've started to realise that I really miss my canoeing team like a hell lot...BLITZKRAFT!!!!!
Anyway, I just felt that I shd dedicate this BLOG to all the Blitzkraft ppl out there esp the guys from my batch of 2001/02 (coz, ya I was the only gal anyway...)
Blitzkraft (CJC Canoeing Team) has been one of the best phases in my ENTIRE life! I've never regreted joining the team and it's probably the main reason why I chose to continue to stay in CJC. I really love my team mates...they are like the greatest bunch of guys that I've known....as much as for all the bullying and torment that they have put me through and adopting my 'pet' name which for certain reasons I'm unable to disclose, they are seriously like my brothers.(Ok, guys, don't come and refute that u guys didn't bully me...coz u all did!) As cheesy as it sounds, I think I've been psychoed and influenced into having now been integrated into their brotherhood!

Yea, my mum keeps complaining why I can't behave more like a gal at times. Well...sorry, but I can't help it!!! Sometimes I even wonder if they ever realise that there was a gal in their presence, coz I they treat me like one of em. It's preety cool I must admit except when they wack and hit me on my back and like start being rough....ya...see how gentlemanly right!!!

But all those trainings 4 times a week, gym sessions, circuit trainings, time trials, lappings and competitions....wow...as much as most trainings were tough and physcially draining, just experiencing the good workout and the feeling of the sweat trickling down ur face even while paddling in the water...the pain and aches that we have to endure while doing the countless number of push ups continuously....I tell u, as I always said....PAIN IS AROUSING!!!! hahahah....yea...really felt damn shiok...don't u guys agree!!!
Pre-National's Competition Dinner @ Poh Khai's house!
Hanging out in our favourite tree...the 'pull-up' tree!!!
Wanna thank the guys for putting up with my ocassional whining...come on, I'm afterall still a gal ok, and I have my moods! They never looked down on my capabilities (at least that's what I think!), but instead were constantly encourging and providing me with the moral and team suupport in their own little ways! Really appreciate it! All the crap that we talk about during trainings and the after-trainings dinner @ the SUntect foodcourt...unforgettable!!! The memories of Kallang man....miss it!
