Went down for training on Saturday, it was early, 9am, so tiring. Thank God, there wasn't running before rowing. Anyways, training was quite bad, we rowed along the canal, which was full of shit like really people's poo. The smell was extremely horrendous, can you imagine..after rowing till the finishing line, finally can take a break, your heart is beating rapidly, you are gasping for air yet you smell shit and now you feel like vomiting! Not only that, while rowing, water is bound to splash, so it's quite frequent that the shit water splashes onto your face. Furthermore, while rowing, I was lucky enough to taste a drop of shit water that sneaked onto my tongue. Boy was it salty!!! I wanted to freaking shout and tear my face from my head! SO DISGUSTING! Anyways training was bad, coach was not pleased with us at all. In fact he even cut short the training. I was also doing bad for myself I guess cos WenWei said I couldn't synchronize..yup, anyways, I'll always try my best.
After training, we all headed down to Suntec food court, I ate ban mian, like the usual, I like it alot. After that we went back to school for Graduation dinner. Nothing much happened, just ate, listen to the graduating batch talked about their fulfilling 3 years as a Ngee Ann Rower. Yup.
Sunday...omg it was the most tiring training in my whole 3 years so far. I got picked to row for Alumni, thought it was going to be very stressful but glad it wasn't. Crystabel rowed beside me and Farhan infront, and one Alumni guy diagonally. Rowed 2 sets of 800m pacing, it was already quite tiring. Rested quite abit, and then it was Mens training! Tot we were going to do like 2 sets of 800m and maybe a few starts and then call it a day. NO! I was sooooooo wrong! We warmed up again to the canal, yup the shit infested water! Rowed for 3 sets at first, then Coach swapped some rowers. I tot I was gonna be substituted,cos of my injury and all, but I was thinking too much haha! In the end, I rowed 5 sets of close to 800m. I WAS DAMN EXHAUSTED! The last two sets, my muscles were all feeling fatigue, I was simply trying my best to give my remaining strength, but I guess it wasn't good enough. And I guessed that everyone was exhausted too cos our timing was becoming from bad to worse! Anyways continued to row a few starts, and finally training ended. Nevertheless, I was glad that I pushed myself that day, it was rewarding to me. Slept the whole afternoon, was too tired to go to church, hope God understand! Dinner with my family was at Thai Express, my ducky finally found the courage to eat with my parents. Anyways we all came back after a hearty meal, I guess we all over ate, we had like 2 sets of dessert! One from Thai Express and another at a cake cafe. Serene was kind enough to buy honey for the Chews! Thanks baby! =)
Today, I lazed around at home till around 5 50pm, then I decided that I should go for a run since I was gonna feast at Sakura later with the guys. Ran and sweat flowed out from my body and I felt good knowing that I've ran to ease the fat contain that was about to come. Went to Sakura @ Toa Payoh, we had loads of fun especially when FATBOY mimicked Coach's actions like when Coach was teaching us the new rowing technique etc.. it was really hilarious, afterall it was coach, we are talking about here. Anyways hope Coach doesn't take it to heart, if not Wen Wei should mentally prepare himself for his status for June race! The food there wasn't really mind blowing but edible anyhow, ate alot and I feel a diarrhoea coming! =)
Tmr's a new beginning, let us all start a fresh and train hard together! =)
Tough times don't last, tough men do!!!
