SINGAPORE = WORLD JUNIOR DRAGON BOAT CHAMPIONS!

Singapore, basically = NJ

Omg, so so so proud of them, after everything they've had to overcome, they're now champions Looking at the photos on www.dragonboat2009.com brought with it so many feelings. Happiness, wistfullness at what my batch could have achieved if we had gone to prague, even slight jealously heh. But mostly, I miss being a team, conoeing and dragon boating. Going for trng together, hanging out after training, rowing together. Really, I miss it. I miss the girls, 9 + wilona. Dragon boat seems without variation, always the same constant motion, but so much more is involved, especially with a team of people you love. I guess for me, it was always more of the team than the sport, and that's why I've always never really been able to answer jared when he asked if I really like dragonboating, or if I was just joining for delle when I joined mountbatten or when considering to join nus db. It was the team that kept me going and the team that I fought for. The memories in the njteam can never be replicated, certainly not the harsh training and non-training conditions, but that was what made us strong fighters with memories to last a lifetime. People think we're crazy, well I would if I wasnt in the team, but being part of the team is a whole different story. & i'm glad that joining the team for 4 years is a decision I've never regretted (:

So, congrats juniors! It's time to study hard.
I'm so glad my sister got to experience prague (: miss you!

I've 99% made up my mind to join nus db. There seems to be so many decisions to make recently. And I realised my problem of not liking to make decisions and pushing them to the last minute. Case in point - being too late to sign up for stanchart even though i've wanted to since many weeks back. I want so many things, but am afraid to commit. Db, tuition, long term volunteer work, studies, cell group, and joining core team for catechism. I really dont know if I can commit to everything, but I ask for the discernment to make wise decisions, and most importantly, stay happy.

Ahhhh.

Still feeling extremely proud of the juniors (=
