I dread weekends a little cuz I have to wake up at 7am on both days to head down to kallang for training, but at the same time, rowing's pretty fun.
Going much faster in Jehuty now, happily floated around kallang basin before I did pacing with sensei.... damnit he's fast. Then I my legs ket cramping cuz Jehuty's too small for me. First you feel a little numb, then it creeps up your leg, then your whole leg starts buzzing.... then it feels like electric current is being passed through your leg, then like 1000 people are squeezing it! But had to keep rowing... Till that last stage and I cried out to raft up with Sebas and Lance.
Learnt a new balancing trick, then headed back. Tried to push for speed, and on the way back, I heard the most divine noise.
Once I pushed as past a certain speed, Jehuty would start to whistle. Slightly, at first, but as I got even faster the whistling became more pronounced. It was magical.
Headed to Kallang market then home to wash up, then ran over to church cuz dragonboat trainings are cancelled for the study/exam weeks.
Funny how things never change.... or how things changed last time then changed back to their original size... like some pregnant women XD.
Went to faiths place to play basketball and.... Eat pizza! Aahahahah I broke the no junk food rule again! Crap >_<
Basketball was pretty fun. Felt like total crap because was super rusty at the start, but managed to win 2 out of 2 games, hell yeah. It was almost a travesty because Jimmy happily pumped his ball way too much, making it... extremelyX2 bouncy, hence some layup attempts and back board shots were foiled.
Had a headache... before basketball too... damn annoying. But I figured if I could row with a killer cramped leg, I can damn well ignore this stupid headache.
Fell asleep on the bus on the way back. Almost missed the stop. Went home, went to bed just to wake up to -
Rowing on sunday morning!
Sensei fixed up Cougar! So I got to use a more roomy boat. Hoorah! And damn that boat is light. Like Adnes said "There's only 2 of such boats in Singapore." Hehehe. I didn't capsize at all in Cougar, and we went damn fast.
Sensei told me about their evil schemes for me... about after the August race. Apparantly the singapore canoe federation secretary was asking about me... I dunno if I should join the national squad. Looking at the track record for the sea games... we're so behind the other countries.
Then there's always that hint of egoism I think all of us have.... to be the first to break that?
