This blog is created to honour the end of my Nationals Inter-School Canoe Championship 2009 and the end of a Canoeist Career in Junior College.
The 1st few post will be dedicated towards the setting up of this blog and will convey my thoughts and feeling over the 4 days event to honour the Sports
which I really believe in, fought for, bleed for and gave my life to.

I think blogging is a form of inspiration, you can't possibly have everything to blog all the time. And yes sir, I'm out of motivation since the last post until now. Now I'm going in NS soon, this will probably be the last post I'll be posting for a long time to come. I doubt I will post much for NS, rather my heart is in canoeing. I want to see my juniors do well in competition so badly, so much that I want to give them my life but yet, the kind of inspiration comes only when I'm a week away from enlistment. I want to highlight 3 things that I would be thinking of during my enlistment.
(In the order of Importance)
#1: Kimberly
I think you're special. Because I have come to hate so many girls in my life, you being the exception makes you unique not in a way, not in two ways but in many ways. You have made life great for me this 1 week before my enlistment. You have been heng to me but I don't mind. You have been very very heng to me but I don't mind too. That's because, I'm meeting the real Kimberly, I know what you're thinking and know how you're feeling. I don't feel like I'm talking to someone wearing a face mask or someone pretending to be someone else. I feel genuine talking to you. It's a feeling you won't understand unless you live in my "fake" environment where most people pretends. Your very frank nature makes things comfortable, though you get heated up*heng* very fast. See how comfortable I feel? You should probably be as honest as you can with "him" and hint that he should be honest with you too for a happy, 2 sided relationship. Although it has only been a few days, you give the feeling that, "if it's a dream, I will choose to remain asleep." Thanks Kim. Thanks L4D2.

K4, you all must clinch a place among the top 4. Perfect that catch, twist that torso, train on increased frequency! Get the feel and strokes correct on low frequency and gradually increase your frequency. I don't believe in talent, strength, or technique. I believe in you 4, as a team. In my opinion, you all have everything you all need to know. Just go for it
K2 Pair 1 - Cyrus and Justin!
Don't be afraid to capsize! It's a good sign that you're making changes. Technical change is what you need. If you're paddling at your comfort zone, you are not working towards technical change. You're trying, changing your strokes, that's why you're capsizing. Good! Don't be demoralized. You 2 need to go back to the beginning. Slow frequency, master your catch, kick then twist from end to end. Read my manual on Catch and Pull phrase, along with the K4 section. Your aim should be, having the most power per stroke.
K2 Pair 2 - Yi Yong and Uhhh. Shyt. *slap myself*
Regatta is not an easy boat to master. I don't think I want you 2 to train on very high frequency using this beast. To do so, you 2 must be the most synchronized pair. Meaning, your concept of stroke must be the best among them all, even better than K4. Get a good catch, and try to practice on imbalance twisting, that is, your torso that move from 1 end to another end must be the fastest. That distance must also be the largest. Every stroke must give you the best surge. Kick then twist that imba twist! It should be enough to get you to semi-finals, if lucky, finals =)
K1 - Zuo Xian
K1 is tough but I want you to stand your ground. Face your enemy with courage. Though you won't have the speed you desire, you're gonna show them how good your stroke is. You need to work on your burst, and sustain all the way. The only way you can undo your competitor is to stay in front for the 1st 250m to give you an advantage over people eating back wash. The other 250m depend on your luck and your competitors already. Get your catch right, get your twist right and chiong high frequency already. I leave you to think about your maintenance
#3 CHRISTINE CHIA PEI YUN
I think you're amusing. If it isn't for you, I'll never find courage to go down into bedok reservoir. Don't lose interest in canoeing ok? I don't want your 21 inch bicep to fade =(. You gotta find yourself a bf soon if not you will end up curve for training too many KC girls. Faster give lots of tuition and buy yourself 1 boat, then I can share with you your boat without fear of damaging Mr. Chua's boat*evil grin*
#3: TAN REN YI
Your size suggests that you're dependable. Thanks for always trying to put me on your activity list though I make a bad player. That does not mean I'm pang seh king. Don't guai lan me when I book out. My pool will probably be more accurate given the marksmanship course. I thrash you 7-dragon-pearl (7 long zhu) then you know. Guai lan somemore, let you slow-death in pool. Heh heh, don't worry about love lah. You should watch "who move my cheese" seriously and your heart problems will be no more.
#3 TAN YU HIANG KRISTINE(not i bias. by alphabet, you come before TAN REN YI)
Can you don't always get into trouble? Insurance is starting to be your buddy instead of me. I don't mind though. I'm losing blood everyday, because I'm literally bleeding with generosity for you. Can you please, clean up your table room, before you start asking yourself "who move your cheese". HAHA. I recommended it to Ren Yi but that TUA KEY ended up fast forwarding everything, so annoying. Can you please take care of yourself in future? And take heart in not being able to enter the course you want. I seriously doubt you will be doing psychology in future, given your chaotic nature. You'll counsel someone with a volleyball or a wall-nut instead of, psychology -.-. Don't forget me when I'm in NS.
#3 WANG YINGMIN(ELVIS)
I think you're a very amusing senior. I used to hate having seniors but you changed the picture. Although you're kinda fierce at times, I think I can always use "welcome to old navy" to change the atmosphere. Hehe. Worst, I can just, REFRESHING. I FEEL MUCH BETTER NOW! HAHA. I always love to act like Eddie Murphy in front of you and watch your reaction fade from a O.O. ---> o.o ---> ._. ---> grrrrrrrrrrrrr. HAHA. I want to faster book out and be amused by you again. Or rather, I think I want to fulfill my duty as a junior to amuse you. Once again, Welcome to old navy!
#4 My Computer
Haiz. Windows 7. I think you're good. but you're gonna make me miss you. Damn sian. I want to put you #10 for making me so miserable, but no you, no L4D2, no Kimberly so I put you #4 lor. =/
#5 Kayak Strokes Illustration
This has been my pride. I want to look at it over and over again. I'll miss you when I'm inside NS.
#... Such a long post. Haha. I guess I'll log off. See ya people. I'm off.
