it all came in a flash

National Canoe Marathon 2009
Came to an end on 11/1.
Jelly and i fought really hard despite the fact that we capsized and had to swim 200m back to shore.
seeing our competitors rowing past us towards portage while we were still swimming back was really depressing.
however, we managed to keep our minds strong (though i panicked quite a few times) and caught up.
The satisfaction of pushing ourselves over the limit of exhaustion and stress was just indescribable.
All I thought of was to win a medal which totally kept me going.


PARTNER Jelly was there throughout the whole race with me.
Motivated me and assured me that everything is fine when i was in my panic state.
Pushing me and giving the timings when i asked for Hard 10.
seriously, i am really very(x 100000) grateful for her who went through this race with me.
No cookies but a great deal of experience and LOVE from partner.
i can never be more thankful.
This is not the end yet. Our race is just about to start (:

Hueyyen and me
( the 2 short hair girls in the team) (:

different colour plates (:
oh ya,

COACH: jelly, why are you rowing with a BOY?
me to jelly: *looking around* jelly, what BUOY? (instead of BOY).
jelly: hahah.. it's you.
me: omg -______-


and lastly,
on marathon day, it so happen that it was the 11th (:

MY priceless GIFT (:
