finally!

you told us we would be intimidated, but i wasn't.
you told us we would feel demoralised, but i didn't.
you told us we would feel like we could never have a shot at winning, but i feel otherwise.
you told me we would lag by one minute, but we lagged by one second.
you told me we may capsize, but we didn't.
you told us we had no hope, but we DO.

i went for the race hoping not to lag too much or to capsize.
i came out of the race realising i could have done so much better.
i know the gap can be closed. i know i could have done better if i had set my goals higher.
i know we can put up a fight. we'll show everyone they have reason to be afraid of us.

peiying, we're all proud of you. carol, ill miss you. and ill always look up to you,because you've been both a friend and a senior. also want to say that i especially admire the year two guys, esp the t2 rowers. i think they deserve to win. i really do. though i didn't like them at first, they've earned my respect and admiration. they've inspired me.

i've finally found out why i'm in canoeing. i finally know why i gave odac up. i finally realise that i have joined the right cca, that i have made the right choice. im at peace now. :)
