My week has been so busy, and boring, that I totally forgot that my blog existed. Everyday has been like eat, sleep, mug, train, eat, sleep, mug train. And yes, you never read wrongly, MUG.
Many of you out there knows that I can't mug, or at least, do not have the discipline to do so. I can't even sit still on the chair for 10 minutes, yet alone study in a still position for an hour. But this time, I'm really taking my studies seriously, for I do not want to retain. I guess it is time I take control of my own life, than to leave it rotting away. The time I have is short, so I have to use each and every opportunity to improve.
And yes, competition is this Saturday. LydiaC and I would be rowing the K2 together. She's a great partner, an awesome person to work with. We have so many things in common. But what is pulling us back from winning this competition, it is the lack of practice and our poor stamina.
We had training yesterday and today. They were the most tiring trainings that I ever had, I put all I've got into these trainings, in hope of improving within the fastest possible time. Yesterday's training made me feel super frustrated. The feeling is like, you know you can do a particular thing, but there are just ways to pull you back from getting what you want. For yesterday, I got pissed at myself for not being able to control the rudder well, and having LydiaC to put through all my shit. The distance that we rowed, was twice that of the displacement. Today, I guess we did improve a little, but we are still not up to the mark. When we turn and look around us, there are all the experienced and pro-ed people, rowing at exceptionally high speed. That made us worried, and we just lost confidence in ourselves. Even our peers are doing much better than us.
As much as we dislike being the last in the race, we have to still accept the fact, and work doubly hard to win them at the next competition. We both agreed that we will put in our 101%, and even if we lost the race, we took back with us an experience that not all could have felt. Hopes should not be pinned to high on us, as it is for now.
On a happier note, look what Sankarsh told me!

COOOOL MAN!
And if you were wondering, Sankarsh and I have known each other since Primary 2. See, Indian and Chinese, Racial Harmony! He and Victor Sim are my 2 closest male friends during my old school days!
(Victor have matured a lottttt!)
I'm all tired and giddy now. I hope for all the best!
