take me to the sky

5:50 PM So this is the end of our journey..

4 days were all we had to prove ourselves and I guess we expected and wanted so much more but I'm sure we did our best. It's just that our best wasn't enough and the others were better..

Okay I can foresee my english is going to suck (I can't believe both Qitian and TCH told me that my english sucks grr..) but I will press on..!

So after losing k2 heats on day1 I was really upset.. Upset with myself because I knew we could qualify and it didn't feel like I was giving it my everything at all.. But after a while kind of dawned upon me that we wouldn't have made it very far, considering the competition, all the pro pairs.. Still it was really painful to know that there won't be a race on Thursday, and that that was my last race with Eunice. But baby you are awesome and it felt like the smoothest and most stable row we ever had :)

Then on day2 was k4 500m. We knew we could do it and we did it, and we decided to shoot for the sky, to get first on finals.

Day3 I finally got to watch and support :D And cried okay actually I realised I think I cried everyday... I think twin (AMANDA) said that it's weird how I can cry for everyone's races like Eunice.. and Junru and Ais.. and k4 1000m.. But idk it's really intense and emotional to see them row their hardest..

Day4 we brought back the silver medal. It really felt so close to SA but I guess we gave them a good fight. The medal belongs to the whole team, guys too, because we couldn't have done it without all the strength and support you all gave.. I love you Bel, Susu, Yan :)

Haha and I have to mention awesome steamboat buffet at Zhenfa (SPAM CLAMS SPAM PRAWNS :D) and actually I didn't feel like I ate enough.. And movie after that with the bestest bestest ending line ever!

I suddenly realise we don't have a full canoeing photo oh well.. And that reminds me of more unhappy thoughts so never mind..

So many people to thank.. Girls team first :)

Bel for all your pep talks, encouragement, crushing hugs and because you're so strong and train so hard you inspire us to be stronger and train harder. Susu, I'll never forget when we were still partners and rowed together, you give me strength and watch my strokes and look after me all the time. Sihui for our countless bus rides together, and all the canoeing/emo/little stuff that we talk about. Thank you for always being there and I'm sorry for the times I made you upset :( Yan for being my mama :) And all the little antics that we do together. Eunice for believing in us and pushing so hard every timing every race. Twin :) for all the love you've given me that made me strong. Junru for always telling me it's okay, nevermind haha you make me take things easier. Ais for always being so cheerful and smiling no matter what, you make me smile :D Delia your determination gives us motivation :)

Guys team now.. especially those who always call me biceps/mock my biceps D: but in a warped-up way, I guess I'd rather be mocked like that than have people not believing that I am strong enough to row. So at least I know that you guys believe in me, somehow :) And thank you for all your encouragements :) We must continue having girls+guys dinners together!! :( Thank you Wei rong and Ben yong and k4 guys and Hansheng for being great support, and thank you Wee kuang for always being concerned about the girls' team :) And thank you Dong for tolerating my nonsense like swopping good luck slippers with me :D

Qitian, for being the sunshine in my life :) you always bully me but I still love you :) a lot a lot a lot! I hope you know that..

Hwachong girls team for being so nice and friendly :D

Jeremy, almost-decade-old-friend and strongest guy I know, for listening to me rant, and all your preaching, I've really learnt a lot from you.

I have so much more to say but I shall end here.. Am damn proud of all of us and I really really hope we doesn't end here. I want more memories..

Monga means canoe. AHHHH can't get over it hahahaha.
