    I didn’t update my blog yesterday cos there was nothing much for me to update … Everyone was busy modifying their boats . hahahs . I placed a plastic bag on my seat and add a Styrofoam thinggie to my footrest cos the people over here are tall , they have bigger feet . hahas

    NUT GOT INTO SEMIS FOR K1 1000M AND K1 500M ! she hit like 4.30min and 2.02 min ! I AM IMPRESSED! Her timing beat Andrea’s timing !hahahahs …. She’s so cool . hahah… But the other girls are much much faster … for 1000m the girls are hitting like 4.0sth min so Nut got in but her timing is the worst among them … well at least she made it [; I feel super happy for her ![;

    As for the 500m her timing is DAMN GOOD …she herself is SURPRISED! HAHAS …cos in Romania she hit her best timing like 2.12min ? now … 2.02 min ! she is my ou xiang man …. Hahaahs ….The first girls in each hit are hitting like 1.5thmin ? they are super fast … but nut is not slow either … she will be in the middle . hope she gets into the B finals … its her birthday tmr ![; she will officially be 15[;we will be celebrating her birthday , a surprise[;

    I took 1 event [; k1 500m , I got my personal best timing … 2.13min (before 2.16min) … I got last in my race … haha … I was actually like 2nd last … but after the 300m I was dying … I went all out for the first part …. And the last 100m …. I slowed down my frequency cos I was dying … hahahs …. But its fun …. Racing with FAST PEOPLE … you cant it in Singapore [; the first girl is hitting like 1.56min[; hahah … cool right[; I made a deal with my coach , I am going to hit below 2min for the next world juniors champ ( 2 years later) I want to race with Nut [;

    Anyway, only the k4 girls and the c2 made it to the semis for 500m …. As long as they don’t capsize , they will confirm get into finals cos their heats don’t have a lot of people [; Ruo Ning and Wilona didn’t know what event they are in so when they are in the start line asking for their event , the k2 event started without them… its sooo… I don’t know … sad for them yet angry cos they competed so many times …they should know they have to do … haizzz

    Since no one from Singpore got into the finals for 1000m , we wont be going in the morning tmr … we will be going in the afternoon to see the 1000m finals … ANDDDD coach , Amanda , luyina and I are taking k4 … hahahs …

    Oh! I forgot about Brandon and Joshua… they didn’t make it to semis for both event but they got their personal best timing for 1000m 3.34min ( before 3.37min) their 500m 1.42min ( PB 1.40min) … Brandon would stand a chance to compete in the semis if he is in the k1 events ( if he is lucky he will get a not so hard heat) cos the k2 guys are really fast … And princess ( andray) is slower than Brandon yet he made it to the semis …. That’s soooo sad .. well at least it allows Brandon to see the standard of other country guys ….he will grow up to become stronger[;

    monday

    Today’s the last day of the Romania trng camp “talent identification programme” that’s what they call it …

    Time FLIES! Its been 2 weeks [; Its nice knowing people from other countries like Columbia , Kenya , Chile , Philippines , Romania , Armenia , Turkey , Cook Islands , Algeria , Thailand , egypt and korea… The guys always laugh at the Korea coach because of the way he speaks… he speaks in Korean and super fast like 87976756&%^&$^$%... HAHAH .. so everyone will be laughing away when shouts…

    Did a 2km timetrial this morning at 6.45min . I hit 10.26min with a turn , Nut hit like 9.47min . I lost to her after the 1000m mark when I caught weeds at my rudder …. So sadddd ….but its alright .

    10.15 we did a 4 x 100m and 4 x 50m .. eh , after this I cant paddle with Nut , I can only meet her in competitions … no fun … its nice trng with her although I always lose to her …. But I improve faster …. She ‘s the fastest canoeist in Thailand . cool right??hahahs

    Anddd I just found out that ALVIN ( Philippine) HAS A TWIN . hahahs . also kayaking , they look alike[;

    We left the trng camp site in a hurry and I have not packed my bag so have to skip lunch to pack my stuff . haha . we took 3 hours to get to another trng camp which we will be sleeping at for one night ( snagov) we will be leaving for Moscow at 8 plus in the morning tmr …

    By the way , the guys played soccer just now… damn cool , I think they are good .. especially the turkey guys . but their kicks spoil the fences … it broken ….and we walked back with mustafah( Egypt) just now cos he stay with us , not in the same room but the same block . about 10 minutes walk … AND ITS SUPERRRRR DARK …. We cant see anything like really nothing ….

    With the light from , we can only see the road 2m infront of us and the others is pitch dark ….. like wth … and mustafah kept spouting nonsense . hahahs I think just to make some noise . hahahahs ….then we were like THIS IS THE LAST TIME !!!! hahahas

    Eh , and just now i did something VERY STUPID ! I went to the second level and wanted to jump down …. Then Brandon came and apparently he locked me outside so I guess I have to jump down …. But its not that he made me jump , its that I think its will be fun … oh whatever … yar … I knew my bag (cameras and video cam) would be a hindrance but I put it anywhere so I had to jump with it …AND GUESS WHAT , I jumped down without thinking how should I land so MY BAG GOT HOOKED AT THE METAL( where rain water flows) but of cos my weight pull it out and I LANDED ON MY BUTTT! Cos the ground was damn sandy ….. like wth … MY BUTT IS DAMN PAIN AND I THINK ITS GOING TO SWELL …. There’s also a freaking cut on my palm …. But still I don’t think I regretted doing that… I just hope I can paddle properly …. The world juniors is like next week? Teeheee

    Tuesday

    We left Romania today… and reached Moscow at like 5 plus and we are only in our hotel at 8 plus …

    Its nice to see everyone from Singapore … the hotel here is 1000 times better than the ones in Romania and the food here is better too…
    But I don’t really like it here , it gives me the feeling that I am going back to Singapore and I have been escaping from the fact that I have to go back and continue studying … I have not been studying and thinking about studying because I cant face it . the amount of work that is waiting for me is making me want to cry… I don’t know what to do …
    I love it in Romania where I can train with all my might , focus on trng and paddle my life to its fullest everyday … this is when I will feel happiest … although all the facilities there are not very good , food not very nice , lake has a lot of weeds , lousy internet but I like it over there … the ulu place , its where I will feel the most relax . A place where there is no pressure …I don’t really like it here , the very modern place makes the pressure overwhelming plus everyone is studying , I DON’T LIKE IT !
    You know I was sooo happy when I saw Andray(princess) , valdimier and velancia just now… the Romania feeling is back … it makes me really happy to see them … although I don’t like it when natapol disturb me but I like it when he is there to make the place more lively .It would be great if the Philippines are here( jeremire and Alvin) they are real nice people . I enjoy the stay with all of them there…unlike now , so what if we have good bad and 2 person per room … I feel lonely … when we are in Romania my room will always b filled with laughter and nut will always be in the room no matter what so the room wont be empty….

    Wednesday

    I went to the race site for trng today[;
    The race course is super straight ! I don’t really know how to see their buoys cos there are buoys every few metres ( small ones ) …. But there is a 250m , 500m and 750m mark . Their lanes stretch all the way from 0m to 2000m and from lane 1 to lane 9 …
    I walked all the way to the 1000m mark , quite interesting , there are these staircase and a platform every 200m for people to have a better view . cool macritchie does not have it … hahas …

    My boat did not come yet so I had to use Daniel’s boat when I train so we took turns . In the morning I made my accreditations then reached the lake at 9 plus and I only paddled at like 11? It’s a half an hour ride from the hotel to the lake … quite trouble and the bus comes at a 1 hour interval ….

    It is possible for me to reach the footrest for daniel’s boat but the boat is Heavy …. I cant increase my frequency just now during trng … its like wow …. So heavy … then when Brian tried the boat he almost capsize cos the boat is too light for him . When he pull the first stroke he was like WOAH … hahahs

    I feel super slack today …. I did like 2 km 80% , 2 km ( 70% 250m and 90% 250m) , 1km warm down …. And …. 5 x 3min ( 1st , 3rd , 5th 70% , 2nd and 4th --- 70% , 80% , 90% everymin ….)
    I took lane 9 for all my sets cos I will be in lane 9 during the race …. cool

    Had dinner and nothing elseeee[;

    i love the sunset [[; !!! its damn beautiful[; , you see the sky slowly getting darker , the night falling and the sun slowly disappearing .... these few days i have been seeing a cresent moon... so cool [;

    today we went up the mountain to see the biggest breakwater in Romania [; the olympic athlete used to train there but i dont know why they are going to train at another place. i ate a corn up in the mountain and its kinda hard to bite . its barberqued corn must add some salt then it taste better ....

    we had packet lunch like bread and a chicken , its not very nice.....

    after that we went shopping .... nothing much

    it 1 am over here and i am sitting in the balcony playing msn game with Brandon , there's nothing else we can do . Amanda went out for a drink and she didnt bring us along cos no one gave her the permission . I drank more than half the bottle of wine just now , thanks to natapol , he's mad ... hahha

    i cant believe that we are not going to train tmr .... haha . its just too shocking , ever since we stepped into this place we have been trng like dnt know how many times a day and tmr we are not trng ... haha , i am just too happy to sleep [;

    i am tired but i dont want to be waking up the next morning to play and on monday its time for time trial again.... whenever we are enjoying , time always pass so quickly , if only the time could stop when its my happiest moment [; haha , dream on mannn

    i LOVE my life[;its not just studying and studying , its what i want [; i always wonder if we can live to the happiest moment of our life and just die on the spot , smiling and leaving . Rather than dying because of some illness or old age whatsoever ....i want to lead a life that's different from others[; instead of excelling in studies only , i want omething else . instead of having a high post job and earning lots of money , i think i rather do more meaningful stuff like voluntary work . i think those doctors that go to africa to do voluntary work are damn cool , i want to go there in future[;

    i think if i am just someone who earns lots of money and die after that , that is sooo pityful , there's no fun in life ... everything is related to money and excelling , without success this person is nothing ....

    i dont know why am i writing this , i guess i am just boreddd



    2am....

    I think its damn retarted … people wants to get into a relationship because their friends has it and they think its cool . ohhmyyy, its very dumb . someone has a boy/girlfriend , there’s no love between them , its just fun while the other party might just put their true feelings in it.After some time when the other party found out that he/she isn’t true about them , they will then become super emo , crying away when it is not even worth it . I guess they will just have to grow up … its not as fun as they think … its dumb …when they grow older and look back , they will just laugh at themselves for doing such things …

    Anyway , when people get too deeply in love , they cant think … its like the other party is part of them which is not true … they wont know who is their ideal partner until they are older , when they step into society meet more people and be able to think properly … don’t you think when 2 opposite sex teenagers are together , they tend to break up after a while…. And after like a period of time , you will see them with another guy/girl ….

    Mr pei pei(chile coach) is damn funnaye . He goes around telling people I LOVE YOU ! hahAHS . just now after our trng he walked past us and he was like SINGAPORE , I LOVE YOU … hahah . super cute ![;

    Yesterday evening Mr santo taught us technical trng [; we practice it with a pole ,if possible I think I will try to ask mr iskandar for poles so the canoeist can do the same [;

    Eh , and its sooooooo fast… later at 10.15 , I think its our last trng , tmr is timetrial so its not counted as trng …. Sunday is OFF DAY! Hhahas , like finally ! one day of rest [; hahahhahs . ohhhhmyyyy , I don’t really want to go back cos its sooo stressful in Singapore . can you imagine the amount of homework and test that will be given to me after I go back ?? I don’t even dare to think of it . and in Singapore , everything is rushing here and there . rush to school , rush to trng , rush home to do homework and try to sleep as early as possible . ohhhhmyyyyyyyy, I like it here …but not trng like 3-5 times a day …. hahahas

    Ohh ! haha … I don’t know why , yesterday we were supposed to do the run after the technical trng . then Mr Hassan ( Kenya coach) came to me and say I will run with you . then I was like HUH then he said it was an honour . hahahas then I went like OKAY . hahahas . he is damn good , he managed to keep up with me throughout the whole 6km [; then when we reached the half way marked and turn back , everyone CHEATED so they turn way before the half way mark then the coach was like WHAT? EVERYONE IS GONE . hahahas [;

    haha ! i am starting be get addicted to chocolates , same for Nut . Thanks to brandon , 24 hour eating chocolate infront of us . Actually its because the food here is tasteless so we had no chioce but to eat chocolate to give our mouth some taste . hahahs . yar , and the food here is super heathly if they dont put so much oily in the soup . cos i think they fry the french fries then they boil it before giving it to us . Also , all their food have no gravy . hahahahs . its quite dry...

    Oh yes , i managed to hit 10.20min today for my 2km in that weedy lake . hahah s. coach ( Mr Eily ) was kinda shocked cos he dont believe . he thought i always hit 11plusmin . Yesterday also , when i hit 10.27min he dont believe but today he believe cos i came in at the same time as Nut [;

    Oh myyy i dont know how many 6 km run are we going to do this week ?! we ran on tues , wed , we are going to run today ..... i hope we dont have to run tmr ... oh ! and mr santo will be teaching us some technical stuff later . so cool[;

    oh! i saw the romanian girls paddling yesterday and i thought they were in a k2 cos i was looking from the side . but when they came nearer as in just a few metres nearer i realised that they were in a k1 . Their strokes are soooo coordinated and its like one paddle infront while the other paddle at the back , like a k2 . so cool huh ... hahahs

    Whoohooo[; There’s 2 other people from Kenya joining us for training, a guy ( c1) and another girl(k1) … oh myyy , the girl is sooo tall , I thought that she’s 18 years old .haha . she’s only 16 [;, same for the guy [; And guess what ?! Their coach , he’s 73 years old ! and he looks like he is 40 plus .He say its because he runs everyday and he still do gym with the senior team guys . SO COOL . There are like 54 tribes in Africa … so 3 of them are from diff tribe so if they speak their tribe language , they wont be able to understand each other . But all of them have to learn English and their African language and their tribe language … ohhmyyy … I want to go to Africa . hahaha . I think its damn cool , especially the people there [; and there are like 30 million people there , one family has 9 -10 kids[;haha… so fun! [: Its nice talking to the coach , at least I understand what he says[;

    Today , we did 2km timing again… haha … Nut was paddling in front of me cos we go one by one then I saw her stop to clear the weeds so I stopped too . haha … the boat was damn heavy cos of the weeds but I don’t see nut stopping so I don’t want to stop [; thank god she stop , if not I also don’t know how to continue ….

    6x200m at 10.15…. I lost to her for every set .. haha .. but the timing wwas better than yesterday[; more 55s [;

    We went to the supermarket before the run [; its super big and quite far so we tooka taxi there . The driver on the music super loud , i was covering my ears throughout , like the vol was 30?? siaooo ... we bought watermelon , honeydew , apple , chocolate , milk , yoghurt... blah blah blah [;

    Afternoon was off but we had to run 6km [; then after that we went to the gym . I love the gym , its 10 times better than the ones in SCF[; the stations are damn cool . hahah .especially the rotating machine . [;

    Hehe.. didn’t blog yesterday cos I was busy sleeping like a pig in the afternoon . haha . I ate ice cream yesterday night[;
    Saturday time trial ---- 500m (2.30min and no time )
    ----------------------------1000m ( 5.07min and 5.10min)
    Haha , I dont even know what I was doing so i obviously got thrashed . haha . but I wasn’t feeling sad … the second 500m was faster but too bad , he didn’t time . then for the 1000m , I was on par with Nut (kanopan suansan) until we reached the 500m mark then a BUNCH OF WEEDS got stuck at my RUDDER . woahhhh .. the boat slowed down like ************* so I ended up lagging behind like mad … For the 2nd 1000m , same , I took the same lane so I ended up having weeds at the front and the back of my boat then I went into yishan’s ( Armenia) lane and eat all his backwash . hahah ….
    Yea , once again we slept late yesterday night . Surprisingly , natapol ( thai ) wants to play cards so we played his game [; whoever who loses has to drink water / coke . Amanda joined us until 12 plus then she went to sleep . Natapol went to sleep at like 1 plus 2 ? I think . Yar so Bran—do and I played the 2 person tie ti until 3.30am…then we went to sleep[; And bran-do did many idiotic stuffs when we are playing but I wont blog about it ….
    Sunday-timetrial------ 1000m ( 5.14min)
    Eh , this is like better than yesterday as in the speed of my boat not the timing . Today’s HEADWIND is super strong . Velencia (the fastest guy) his timing drop from 3.57min to 4 .21min? and he’s still the fastest…Everyone’s timing was horrible , but cant blame , only can blame the wind .
    ---------------------------500m(2.30min)
    Same , strong head wind but my timing remain the same cos I didn’t push as hard yesterday . I was dying towards the end ….. I think I prefer 1000m … 500m is *********I don’t know… I don’t really like it …
    OH ! before I forget … HAHAH . a girl in the weight lifting team , she’s 20 years old and she ASK BRAN-DO FOR A KISSS . hahahah . all of us were like laughing like mad when we heard that[; but of cos , he said no .hahahah s.

YAYAYAYAYAYAY !!! AHAHAHAHS .we had 2km timetrial today morning and the timing are to be given to ICF so we had to do like 100% .

I IMPROVED but I was Last on the list . hahahahas . I got like 10.10min and nut beat me again . hahahas . she IMPROVED too , she hit like 9.51min . Yea, but 10.10min its my best timing so far [[; the last time I took my timing in mac it was like 10.54min??

    nanfeng was here @ 4:06 AM(:
    hmmmm... where should i start....OKAY , THIS IS LIKE MY THIRD TIME TYPING THIS POST COS I ALWAYS TYPE HALFWAY THEN STH WRONG WITH THE INTERNET THEN I HAVE TO RETYPE….


    I was kinda upset after yesterday's water training . we went to the big lake to train so we have to walk up the slope , since there is no bouy , ms vigi will be the start line and the coach will be the finishing line , he will tell us when to stop . we are supposed to do 2x2km but they change the set to 4 x 1km. My timing were 5.08min, 5.20min, 5.26min and 5.38min. Nut beat me for every single set , ohhhmyyy , i was like " i dont want to padle anymore" ... this 4x1km set is the most tiring , or rather my tiredness is acculamulated , i havent been having enough sleep since sunday . I felt like giving up , seriously , but then again , i know i come here to improve , i still have a long way to go .... but after i know my timing i felt better cos i thought i would hit like 6minplus . Everyone was supposed to paddle at like 100% but l can only go at like 80plus% not because I am slacking but because I cant push any Further , If I start at 100% I would die out even before I cross the finish line cos when I was going at 80% at the start , I was already like dying towards the end .

    Oh ! we had FISH , BANANA and potato for dinner , it’s the first time they gave us fish and potato then everyone was saying that they caught the fish in the empty lake , don’t know if its true . but the fish is very fresh , it’s the type of fish we eat with sushi [;well at least its much better than eating drumstick everyday. Hahah. But some of them don’t seem to like the fish[;

    Today morning we went for water trng at 6.45am. The lake is still empty so we have to go to the big lake , which means we have to walk up that slope again . We paddled 6km , 3km warm up , 2km timetrial and 1km warm down . My 2km wasn’t very good cos my strokes were not effective . My frequency is much faster than nut frequency but my boat is not gliding as fast as hers. Cos I want kicking , the Romanian people are so tall so even if I put my seat and foot rest to the to the nearest hole , I cant really kick . oh! And I have like don’t know how many abrasions already …. And it seems like I am rushing for my next stroke….Nut thrashed me , she hit like 10.0sth min while I hit like 10.46min … well , if want to go fast I will just have to work on my stroke. And train my stomach muscle cos after the land trng my stomach muscle damn pain so cant really use the body . I am supposed to use my body to twist then my hands will just follow through … then I wont waste so much energy . cos now I am just using a lot of arm strength .

    10.15 WATER TRNG : we did 3km warm up .
    - 5 (strokes) on , 10 offf , 10 on , 15off , 15on , 20 off , 20on , 25off , 30 on , 300m off
    -30(strokes) on , 25 off , 25on , 20off , 20on , 15off , 15on , 10off , 10on , 5 off , 5on , 300m off
    - 5 (strokes) on , 10 offf , 10 on , 15off , 15on , 20 off , 20on , 25off , 30 on , 300m off
    -1x 1000m ( 5 strokes on , 5 strokes off ) 1 stroke is left + right

    After that we did 6km run , some of them cheated , they see the first person turn then they turn , they never even complete … wahhh now my leg is like deaddddd… damn painnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

    Yesterday’s 2nd half of the training was killer . I nearly dieddddd… For water Training we did 3x2km timetrial . For the first and third set , Nut and I got the same timing , for the 2nd set I won her mad but that’s because she don’t have the stamina.The timing was 11.08min , 11.27min , 11.38min respectively . haha . It’s a slow timing but its not my fault . the wind SUPER DUPER STRONG plus I scoop up don’t know how many weeds . hahah . I DRANK THE WATER IN THE LAKE ~! That’s because I am too thirsty , if I don’t drink I will die . it taste OKAY , its COLD and like plain water. At least nicer than Macritchie’s water . hahah .Brandon’s timing is like 10.34min , 10.09min and 10.16min respectively . haha. When he heard it he was like HUH?! Then Amanda was like SLOW RIGHT? Of course la . hahah . but the wind is really damn strong . Going to the 1km mark is like Singapore weather , coming back is ************ SIAO! I feel super colddddddd…….
    Straight after water trng we went back to our room to change into our running attire . we hadf to run 6km . OMGGGGGGGGGGG …. Nearly faint and die on the spoy . I was like when is this 6km ever going to end . But the view is not baddd…. BUT I DON’T REALLY GET TO LOOK AT MY SURROUNDINGS COS I AM LOOKING AT THE PERSON’S LEG WHOSE STANDING INFRONT OF ME . HAHAH . one thing bad about running in this kind of super windy weather is that we cant run fast at all . THE AIR IS TOO DRYYYYYY… if I run faster I might just die cos Amanda , me and nut cough NONSTOP after running . THE SPARKLING WATER HELPS ! HAHAHAS . after drinking it we felt 10 times better . Oh by the way , there’s another girl from italy , she came yesterday and she will be joining us for trng from today . she’s 17 and she just started canoeing like 2 months ago but I don’t know what sport did she do before that . her personal coach came with her too [;

    On Wednesday , which is today , the lake has no water [; we were supposed to do a 2km timetrial in the morning at 6.30 but yarrr… so we just did a 10mins run [;at first they said run and do weights but I don’t know why they change their minds . ohh! And the guys here are super funny . the guys from Australia lost his laggage and his paddle so he cant do anything and yesterday he was just walking around with his towel . hahahahs

    NANFENG IS HAPPY !!!!!!!!

    Thurs training --- KILLER ! i did the 100pull up , 100 push up and 100 leg raises in 20-25min then i went down to paddle. i TOTALLY cannot feel my arms . haha . coach say 70% 10 min i went like 65% , then 4 min 100% i went like 85%.... i cannot even push and i felt soo baddd.... i was like right at the back...

    Friday trng ---- GOOD DAY!!!!!! haha . i thought i would be taking k1 cos i wanted to focus on my k1 this week .Apparently coach ask julienne and i to take k2 cos there's no more k1 . we were suppose to do the sets with ruo ning , wilona their k1 but we started late so we did the sets on our own. OHHHMYYY ... IT FELT REALLY GOOD!!!like we can put in our 100% for eveery single set cos we were soooo focus and coach says IT WAS VERY GOOOD ! ( THIS WAS THE BEST PART ) [[[[;

    Todays trng--- it wasnt really trng it was time trial ! julienne and i took k2[; coach say , we didnt ask [; haha .
    we must do 2xk2 1000m and 2x k2 500m with all the k2 GUYS and girls INCLUDING the SENIORS .hahhas
    OUR 1ST 1000M AND 500M WAS SCREWED UPPPP !!!!!!!!!!! and i felt really upset like cos i felt like i wwas the one who is screwing up everything .

    K2 1000M (8AM)- 4.27min (julienne and i ) , 4.20min (ruoning and wilona), 4.09min(anabell and weilin), 3.51min(brandon and joseph)
    - we knew it wasnt a good set cos i can tell that julienne felt uncomfortable so we ended up bracing 2 times and we didnt manage to do our 100%....

    k2 500m (9.50am)-2.03min (julienne and 1 , suzzie and abigal) the guys are hitting like 1.38min and 1.40min !!!
    -Jori and his partner use the shanghaipeisheng that we were using so we had to use the AK ... and the worst thing is that i cant even reach the foot rest so i put my croc shoe in..... BUT INSTEAD..... I COULDNT CONTROL THE DIRECTION AT THE LAST 200M , i spend more strength controlling the rudder than anything else.... yar.... and we went out of lane and cut into other people's lane

    i didnt want to go down for the next 1000m and 500m cos i felt like an ass always making stupid mistakes . but after that thanks to anabell [; her crazy choir song, i felt much better , at least not so stress.

    K2 1000m (11.50)-4.20min(julienne and i ) , 4.10 ( ruo ning and wilona)
    - i didnt ask for the other people's timing yar but they are much faster than us[; BUTTTTT WE FELLLTTTTT GOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD! HAHAHHAAH

    k2 500m (1.05)-2min(julienne and i ) , 2.01min(abigail and suzzie)
    -ohhh once again , i tilt too much so julienne had to brace at the last 100m ...... and we were like OH MAN!!!! cos we were dying to not let suzzie and abi catch up but they caught up after we brace but we still won by abit , hahah .

    i skipped the relay [; i went to celebrate qian ying and xiaofeng birthday with the canoeing people . and we went to the PLAYGROUND we played blind mice . hahahas. it was fun . especially when the guys hit themselves against the pole ! hahahas
