See? Isn't it freaking squishable (:

Anyway, went down to Macritchie to watch NCC. Made me realise how much I miss racing. Miss the adrenaline, the silent support off my teammates, the power, the pain, the surge. I WANNA ROW AGAIN. Sighhhhhh. I miss training with my team. Even though we went through really shitty times, like crazy neverending lineup shuffling, people hyperventilating etc I guess we really stuck together as a team and eventually brought the titles back again.

Leepeng - my partner. From K1 - 500m training partner, to eventually being chucked in the same boat. It wasn't easy, but I really really enjoyed every single training in our K2 Whitepatch. I don't think our Nats race was our best race ever, but well it felt good. Too bad we couldn't row for NCC :(

Peishannnnn - our superduper captain. This girl was like the ROCK of the team man. Always keeping us grounded and pushing us to the max. Somehow she was always the one deflecting Yong's scoldings away from the girls. Without her the team would be nothing man..

Michy! - the first person I rowed K2 with. Remember how last time in Kallang I couldn't stop my K1 and made u row up and down with me even during our supposed rests in between sets. OMG. Yeah we've really really been through a lot together man.

Xintian - We were deemed as being too short-armed to row together lol. Those thursdays in J1 when you'd end lessons freakingly early and I ended at 2 so we'd talk rubbish at the canoetable. Yes, little miss exaggeration. I really miss your rubbish. Haha.

Shumin - K2-500 eventpartners yay. I've always found you veryvery funny, with your antics and the things you say. We were somehow always put together for ballgames/canoepolo - which were not your forte, but I've always admired your courage and your willpower.

Jasmin - Our star runner, and our resident outburst queen. Haha remember how we were trying to persuade you to join the team. Oh and I think this girl has to be the smartest of us all man. Our STUDY I/C lehhh. You've got the most idiosyncracies among us all also. The things you do with your food - omg.

Tsinli - Your enthusiasm is really admirable man. (Wah, I'm naming the two smart ppl one after another) I've always liked training with you during the K2 sets. Somehow your presence was always... calming and encouraging (: Oh and where else can we find a more responsible QM?

Chiteng - WAH LAU. I'm starting on the tall people now. The MOST STABLE rower ever. (When I learnt tt it was cos you'd get seasick thats why you're so stable, I almost died laughing) Rowed with you during that Bedok race. It was chaos at the starting line and when I was gonna lose my temper and jamming the rudder to weave through the mass of boats, you just calmly rowed like you're the only one on water O_O

Rachel - "K1 girls -- we're the strongest cos we've fallen the hardest" I'll ALWAYS remember what you said. THAT training, after you came back from holidaying.. how you were lagging like shit and Yong was just rowing next to us scolding and yelling at you. I was so angry at him I wanted to just take my paddle and whack him but I couldn't or else I'd cap. Plus I dunno what I'd do w/o an AEP mate like youuuu (:

Huiying - EH. Maybe I should move your name up the list. You're among the "tall people" leh. Hahaha. Explosive temper, but you've ALWAYS been there for me. Somehow you'd always talk a lot of sense even though I'd always go "ya ya i know". You're like the only other girl who hangs out at the table regularly..

MINDY - OMG my dear girl. SIX FAT YEARS of friendship, going on 7. I honestly didn't think you'd join the team, but I've seen you really come a long way, and I'm so proud of you. Thanks for always listening to me whine and bitch, for laughing with me, for just.. being you. I dunno what I'd have done without you man. You really made my JC life so much more bearable. AND I STILL HAVEN'T ROWED WITH YOU. SULK.

Haha I love my girls man.
