torn
late in the nite
suddenly feeling this
we all knew it
but we dun speak of it
out right
dun like this shit
i think its obvious
we can all jus face it
pretence
bcos deep down we still feel?
or wat?
tinge of disappointment
its a pity
really is.
seriously, i dun feel it for me.
but i see it.
i knew long ago.
was in was out
cherish it when i have it
i told myself
be cool when its gone
cos it may not last.
still...
its a pity
-can it stand the test of time?-
time will tell.
anyway...
i will start afresh
WE will

an unexpected find.
was searching for the gloves the team bought me on my 21st bday cos i'm packing my bag for mount k. i olmost climbed in the cupboard to look for it. den i saw this small light faded green notebook. the 555 notebook. not that i have it for years and haven seen it for ages. for it is forgotten. i pick it up. reading every single word written by them all over again.
every message bears a significant weight. you can feel it. so intense rite. thats wat phoenix is. the ability to bring you so high and also down. too intense that tears come together...
flipping thru the pages, seems to bring me back to then and reminded me of things...
showed alot of improvement in a yr time, keep it up, the passion, the way, heart in db.
saw ntu phoenix fighting spirit in you. to win others, you must win yourself first.
she likes green, also a greenhorn, hopes to see her turn from green to yellow.
have faith.
lets share the burden together!
i believe in you, you have my support.
all is well, there are seniors around to help always.
i believe your love for phoenix will keep u going strong, bring everyone along, a team sport needs the unity of all hearts.
the nothing-will-knock-me-down attitude.
you have me.
hand on heart, i believe u can.
have faith in yourself coz i have faith in u.
i have never in my life meet a perfect partner like you b4. I want to row together with you in the same boat, lets aim together okay!
wat we wanna see is not the colour of the medal but more importantly, the fight in you gers to attain what your truely desire the most.
how we transform our fears to courage to make it a personal win.
fight hard!
i dint find my gloves in there.
i found phoenix's love.
i found strength.
go read it too. you can find mine cos you left some of urs here.

in a whole fat chunk
oo last entry was may 20. and today is 06/06/06.
haa so evil~
okie going back in time...
twEeee...ZZzzHHh...
was busy preparing to go penang. first time to an international race, pretty excited and dunno how we will do. the 2nd time i'm bringing the team out and its so much better this time. things go smoothly and i'm feeling more comfortable and prepared and secure. alot of ppl are being appointed as i/c this time haha and mr hee is the best bus i/c can.
rowed and drummed. this time drummer is not jus to throw someone up there jus to fill the seat. we are in need of a zai drummer. with that big fat cup ahead, everyone in that boat has to be zai. and from penang we know wat is drumming can!! my god.. the official on the speed boat is quite good huh.. they can even spot that i'm not hitting the centre of the drum can! wahaha yea active drumming.. use 2 hands.. hit the centre.. YAH OKAY laH. later on we did wat she wants lah haha.
i drummed for the 12 crew which dieded. was puzzled.. trying to find out exactly wat goes wrong. but sometimes mr hee jus say forget abt the lousy set. erMm but i really want to know wats wrong.....
went down for mixed and erm its different already. the stroke. steal more air time! i tried my best to! haha i really tried my best to shadow but still too different i think. and thats the end of mixed.
womens 20. was aiming not to go repecharge but den i've gotten myself into 2 repecharge on sunday. great. personally really looking forward for the 20 crew race. the repe was a good warm up set. then finals in lane 6. i think we are lucky. guess we are much steady when theres no boats beside. but we dont olways get those lanes you know.
but still was damn high after that set and ah hee was happy too. he let us go out in slippers! see how happy he is.. haha
all in all, its a great penang trip for me =) thou the best one was still the first one *grinz* hais.
i get to know my roomie better! haha the supposed to be funny liting. i keep saying her jokes are level zero! haa din really talk to her becos most of the time i want to sleep.... Zzz tired.
the journey was good. cos we got the whole bus by ourselves! i've long wanted a bus jus for ourselves but we nv seems to be able to get it last time.. oh well.. you know why~~
sitting right at the back.single seat. and slept most of the time. hoho. shiok~
den i think i'm kinda pmsing when i'm back.
in short.
daddy watch news
a coach flipped
daddy worried
daddy cant get me
daddy get jiaqi
jiaqi get hanming
hanming get me
jiaqi asked me to call daddy
my tone kinda 'wth'
made ppl upset
=(
back to spore den gotten prepare for presentation for the next day. wth can. anyway i anyhow prepare and anyhow present. den meet carol for dinner! haven seen her for quite some time. she olways got interesting things to update me. haa she seems to slim down abit. hoho i asked her if i look different? she said ermm darker lor. =\ oh well if u tell me my face is like abit less round that can really make my day know! haha
btw the juniors think i look like a blackcurrant. hei jia lun zi. cos my face is like ermm round~~ and we start imagining the things that the round and short handed blackcurrant can do. haha they just laugh at everything!!
i start to like making fun of them already. craps.
den was feeling hot for 2 days and then i got fever. missed my last ge lesson. went down gym to watch the gers ost. forgot my phone. and made him worried. oops. =(
was so scared that i will fall sick like last june race. damn bad. keep falling sick and cant get well. but i'm okie this time round already! back to trng...
last sunday was sOooo freaking hot can anot!! i really cant stand it running under the sun, eh think thats the first time i feel the heat overwhelming. and that day we can take a 15min break frm rowing. haha went up to have some cooling H20 and milo.
and i laugh at cuimei cos she got sunburnt. and after that i got sunburnt.
karma.
okie i jinxed myself.
aloe vera 100% gel is pretty good.
oh and the doc says i have v dry skin and it is "blah blah blah eczema" its a long name which i dunno obviously. and he says my skin will crack at age 40 and get a 'wat wat wat eczema" and he got me a 50 bucks sunblock!! kns... damn ex!!
and did you know. got many nice songs can make me v v happy!! yea =) i really do. its such a pleasure to listen to songs and chill...
i am here for you..wOOo olways here for you.. - firehouse.
Then we all stand together this one time.. Then no one will get left behind.. And stand up for life -destiny's child.
since after exams and coming back to trng, things has been better. me too. feel better. guess when the time comes, sometimes gotta learn to be less emotional and be objective. the things in my mind these days are more practical and logical stuff, not so in tuned with my feelings already. haa i'm losing my female brain!
was too emotional at times. gotta know when to switch to which i feel, oh i mean i think. aha

stay on the path.
i respect you damn alot.
i listen to evrything you say, and you olways make sense to me.
given me lots of encouragement along the way.
gave me strength most importantly.
a big influence to me.
but things i hear now.. make me dunno wat to say..
dun really agree but i dun like to force my way on others.
den again... we create our own lives rite.
sometimes i guess we just forgot wat made us choose that path.
back then.
trng.. so far so good.. at least i can see them putting in effort. althought on weekdays we can only fill 1 boat. but i can feel that all hearts are in the boat. thats wat i need. i dun need alot of ppl with some of them just coming here but left their mind somewhere. helping each other to achieve wat we want. thats the focus.
some ppl left the team after wat i said to them after trng. hmm for me, i think family still comes first, when ur family needs you to be there. i can understand. din mean to chase anyone away. like i've said, i wont leave anyone behind, unless u dun wish to move. attitude matters alot. with that big cup ahead, with the time left, with wat we have lost, we can't afford to stop evryone and hoax or pacify anyone. we have to all move along. hope they understand.

my say on MyRace500...
the feeling is different when the people sitting inside are pretty much still the same.
why?
are we divided or concerted?
where has the connection gone?
i'm not blaming anyone...
if someone has to be answerable.
i think i'm the one to answer for it.
can i describe this as a phase where many of us lose focus..
lost ourselves..
stuck in moments that we cant get out of..
trying to move forward but our feet just seems to be grounded..
yufen is right. its really time for us to grow up and fend for ourselves.
what will happen when the whole bunch of lao rens graduate?
when they hand over the team to us..
when we have to become the pillar of phoenix..
when we take over their job of nurturing and guiding..
are we, ourselves, stinkies, mature enuff to take it on?
from the day we made up our mind to stay in this team.
each of us are not jus..
Hui Qi, materials engin, yr2.. blah~
there is something else we are carrying with us.
-dragonboat ladies-
we have a name to uphold
a name that we are associated to.
how others recognised you as.
there are things we jus cant do as i like... say as i feel... heck as i wish...
bcos it concerns a team.
we are interlinked
and each of us has that bigger responsibilty already.
what is a good set?
at trngs we have mixture of good and bad.
we try to lock the feeling of good sets.
there is one perfect pace when you feel that your boat just keep surging forward.
the wind blowing against your face.
when you can execute all your point, press, pull, twist and power.
and evryone feels good pulling water.
we had it before and of cos its not evry single set is like this.
but that is wat we will want to achieve.
make it happen more...
so the chances of it happening in a race is higher rite?
the confidence level will be there too...
if out of 10 tries, 2 are good...
wat is the probability of hitting the jackpot when the time comes?
and if in a big boat, you need the whole 18 rowers to lock in that feeling...
tell me how many times do we need to make it happen to have it in each of our memory?
thats the reason we train rite..
and we dont just train, just row...
guess we have to train with a purpose in mind..
we can take comments with open minds
but not just hang around with an empty mind.
we all made mistakes. the 2 days at seletar... lots of errors.
only until the last set of all.
women's open finals.
i really have to give the credit to marlau.
she sat on the drummer seat and made things so simple and clear.
she really has the ability to command the whole boat.
that was the only set that we had all our starts, maintainence and charge done nicely.
you only need 10 strokes, imagine this race only need your best 10 strokes.
all eyes in the boat, all hearts in the boat.
all ears to only listen to 2 voices,
her's and winsten.
wow.
MR500 over. more to come.
we know who to aim already.
why?
are we divided or concerted?
where has the connection gone?
i'm not blaming anyone...
if someone has to be answerable.
i think i'm the one to answer for it.
can i describe this as a phase where many of us lose focus..
lost ourselves..
stuck in moments that we cant get out of..
trying to move forward but our feet just seems to be grounded..
yufen is right. its really time for us to grow up and fend for ourselves.
what will happen when the whole bunch of lao rens graduate?
when they hand over the team to us..
when we have to become the pillar of phoenix..
when we take over their job of nurturing and guiding..
are we, ourselves, stinkies, mature enuff to take it on?
from the day we made up our mind to stay in this team.
each of us are not jus..
Hui Qi, materials engin, yr2.. blah~
there is something else we are carrying with us.
-dragonboat ladies-
we have a name to uphold
a name that we are associated to.
how others recognised you as.
there are things we jus cant do as i like... say as i feel... heck as i wish...
bcos it concerns a team.
we are interlinked
and each of us has that bigger responsibilty already.
what is a good set?
at trngs we have mixture of good and bad.
we try to lock the feeling of good sets.
there is one perfect pace when you feel that your boat just keep surging forward.
the wind blowing against your face.
when you can execute all your point, press, pull, twist and power.
and evryone feels good pulling water.
we had it before and of cos its not evry single set is like this.
but that is wat we will want to achieve.
make it happen more...
so the chances of it happening in a race is higher rite?
the confidence level will be there too...
if out of 10 tries, 2 are good...
wat is the probability of hitting the jackpot when the time comes?
and if in a big boat, you need the whole 18 rowers to lock in that feeling...
tell me how many times do we need to make it happen to have it in each of our memory?
thats the reason we train rite..
and we dont just train, just row...
guess we have to train with a purpose in mind..
we can take comments with open minds
but not just hang around with an empty mind.
we all made mistakes. the 2 days at seletar... lots of errors.
only until the last set of all.
women's open finals.
i really have to give the credit to marlau.
she sat on the drummer seat and made things so simple and clear.
she really has the ability to command the whole boat.
that was the only set that we had all our starts, maintainence and charge done nicely.
you only need 10 strokes, imagine this race only need your best 10 strokes.
all eyes in the boat, all hearts in the boat.
all ears to only listen to 2 voices,
her's and winsten.
wow.
MR500 over. more to come.

our song
There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
They say that anger is just love disappointed.
They say that love is just a state of mind,but all this fighting over who will be anointed.
Oh how can people be so blind
There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow
Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder,
cool water running through the burning sand,
until we we learn to love one another
we never reach the promise land.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
hole in the world - the eagles

so infectious
so detrimental
so depressing
and i hate it.
DO SOMETHING!!!
DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh yes i will.
to stop it from bringing more down.
for those who stood to it.
we are going to make it good again rite?
for whatever that have slipped thru
and gone.
we've tried to make the circle round again.
we've reached out our hands but sadly, the other end is still empty.
life still goes on.
we are making the rest of the good ppl suffer.
not fair huh.
we stopped to wait
but nothing comes.
before the gap infront gets even bigger.
i guess we better catch up.
join back the pack.
and move together
once again.
we will still wait by the stairs and cheer you on
if we see a figure coming back
and opened up.
i hope to see happy faces again.
we have unfinished tasks
like some are counting down to their last race,
this is definitely not the way to end.
like bringing the juniors up.
like supporting each other and get over this step.
to those who will put her hand on mine when i stretched it out.
Phoenix saH!
spread the love.
get the positive spirit rekindled.
you and me.

i'm still fine
been having headaches
am i thinking too much or
am i not thinking enuff
no matter how long i ponder
i'm still clueless
i've listened
but i cant fully comprehend
i dont force ppl
its just me.
just like i wont like to do things when i'm being force to.
i wont enjoy.
when something comes from the heart, it can be felt
as least for me, i can
i'll hold on to watever that i feel is true.
i've never given up on any of my friends.
becos friendship dont jus appear when you click your fingers.
and true friends wont go away.
sometimes there are moment when we are so caught up in life.
you have your own shit to juggle
you have dEADlines
you have 10 things to settle and all 10 things are impt
you have so many things and you can only do so much
you want to do this and yet you cant
you want to chill and relax and yet you cant
you want to say 2 words and yet you cant
when your mind is preoccupied with stuff
you tend to miss things here and there.
but you know what??
WE ARE ALL HUMAN!
HOMOSAPIENS
EARTHLINGS
MAN
or rather
woman~
emotional creatures huh.
go with feelings...
oh yes, i do.
i used to see it clear
but where did it go?
clouded
we keep each other going on.
i knew its true.
you will see it again when we are put to the test again
i'm with you
are you with me?
i dont wish to walk ahead
i want us to walk side by side.
till the end.
