listening to old grandmama story

I bet u are all wondering why i have not slept though its already so late. I'm listening to someone tell story on MSN..yea its really an interesting n excting[tt's e only 2 words in my vocabulary heh] story man. I guess though we came from different backgrounds, we all came together somehow, maybe through FATE[the 4 letter word], but we all have a common goal in mind--to prove to others dat we are a strong team. Meiping jie-jie asked me bout y i stayed n wad made me join. My main intention wasnt to join actually, but just to experience during the fun row, what dragonboating is all about. In the midst of trg, start of trg tt is, felt demoralised, but tiz one particular saturday trg [14/08/04 to be exact] erased all intentions of quitting and so i'm here to stay!!Details..ask me personally? Haiyah ok maybe i shd juz post it here if not pple will ask me 1-by-1 n den i'll have to repeat it over n over again.

Intentions to quit arose coz land trg at the start was kinda hard to bear n if u commit, its 3x a week. Like which sane person wld wanna involve themself in a sport tt's so time-consuming. After all, i thought i'd nv understand a sportswoman's ability to juggle wif sch work n CCA coz i was nv in a sport, Team Sport to b exact. So my friend n i made up our minds tt 14/08/04 wld b our last trg--row for the last time n leave with no regrets. BUT, maybe it was a play of FATE, and a complete change of heart for me. 180degrees turn. During tt trg, David, for no particular reason, made us race with e Alumni team. 4 boats were in line, David said to us "The boat tt i'm in never ever lose one ahh" n i was e left pacer if i didnt remember wrongly. Whistle blew, we rowed like there's no tmr, and in e midst of rowing i sumhow truly understood the meaning of 'One boat, one heart, one stroke' during the 'race'. Needless to say, we won. Funny isnt it, how 1 incident tt may seem like nothing to others can actually mean so much to me? From tt moment, it was like some kinda awakening. Like 'woahhh..so THIS is what dragonboat is all about.CoooL~' So tt's the reason. A simple reason actually. Subsequently, i got to like the team n the girls. The people, their genuine concern n encouragement is another reason. The 3rd reason, its me. Thirst for this kinda siao-on sport. As usual. Mum n Dad have gotten used to it already. Always zi4 zhao3 one. Last time in sec sch it used to be like having to polish boots n iron uniform up to hrs. In JC, it was gg to OBS-es n Adventure Trg Camps n coming back wif sand-fly bites, blue black, sun burn, scratches. Now, a new chapter in my life has begun.

Anyway, i logged off at at 355am after chatting on msn for probably 4hrs. To hear bout their story of how much sh*t they go thru tgt was quite endearing. hahaha. Right now it's 1258pm and i'm in one of e comp labs in sch. I realised tt sleeping only 4hrs is not tt bad actually. Initially when i woke up my eyes cldnt open wide enuf coz lack of sleep but i slept on e bus to sch n den somehow i feel quite refreshed n energetic[i hope.] hey hey! It's exactly 1 week to somebody's birthday!! Hahah..i remember ok..at least i didnt mix up wif 12feb. I cant explain y i keep registering ur bdae as 12feb and not 11feb. Sorry when-yah. Anyway i'd give u a BIG HUG on ur bdae ok? As for singing..hmm..we'd see about tt =]

Lastly, i just wanna say somehow i feel tt something's not right, as in, something was strong but the intensity of e particular thing seems to be wavering n diminishing recently. Hmm, i wonder what's it. There's no right or wrong answer. Its open-ended.
