The Semestral Exams have taken its toll on me.

A total of 5 papers spreaded all over the 2 weeks, day and night studying, going to my classmate’s house to study till late into the night and not forgetting the sleepless and worrying nights i’ve had.

Its all Over now. Something to be Happy about. One and A Half Month Holidays Have knocked on my door, ALAS.

I’ve had my schedules for the holiday planned out ! Its gonna be occupied with driving lessons, A trip to Genting with my classmates , work at OKTOBER Fest, Dental Appointments and Not forgetting my long missed trainings.

The Feeling during the study period was just Un-Trained. No running, No Gym, Little Paddling only on the weekends is definitely something i couldnt get used to.

For now, I’m Back. Dedicated and Committed ! (:

Canoe Sprint IVP Race 2008 , I’m gonna be up for it !!! (:

SPCT Did well, But We got disaqualified. It Shall be A Lesson learnt for us, and a Mistake not to be committed again.

All 10 of us ran our asses off  to Our best and as fast as Our Legs Could Carry us , Yanli was the First Girl to Start the Race and lead the Pack of Other Girl Runners, Joanne Took the Lead in Exchanging the Lapcard & I was the First Guy who Sprinted off To Start on the Second Lap with The First Blue Card In My Hand. However, The Placing was not well Kept. Soon enough,  we lost the top 2 Position to Sports Club & Track&Field. It Was a Good Relay Run, Strong Sprinters and Opponents vying for the First Few Places. It was indeed A Run worth Remembereing , Learning and Acquiring the Experience from.

Every Single one of Us , We’ll Not Cry Over Split Milk, We’ll Continue Training Hard, and together As Singapore Polytechnic Canoeing Team, We Forge Forward to Poly50 2009, something to look forward to next year . A Job Exceptionally Well Done Poly50 Runners!  Andrew, Junhui, Weichen , Michael, Gao Xiang , Pat, Yanli & Joanne .

 We got 3rd, Something worth to Be Proud Of. Even though we couldnt get a chance to stand on the Podium & Even though SPCT’s Glory wasnt announced to everyone ,  

We Are Already Champions ourselves. 

The Profuse Pespiration Under the Scorching Hot sun that drained our energy , The Endless Gasps Of Breath, Every Single Sweat and Ounce of Energy We Gave out Was All Worth the while .

Thank You To those who came down Specially To Support us
