4:57 PM a new chapter

breaking free;

We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach

If we're trying
So we're breaking free

You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
Creating space between us
'Til we're separate hearts
But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe

Can you feel it building
Like a wave the ocean just can't control
Connected by a feeling
Ohhh, in our very souls
Rising 'til it lifts us up
So every one can see

Ohhhh runnin'
Climbin'
To get to that place
To be all that we can be

Now's the time
So we're breaking free
We're breaking free
Ohhh , yeah

More than hope

More than faith
This is true
This is fate
And
together
We see it comin'


More than you
More than me
Not a want, but a need
Both All of us breakin'free


{high school musical}

this song is dedicated to my dearest canoe teammates
yanhan,yihang,yimtong,lihui,rimmel
truly loved today's training
though its just the six of us now
(seniors, we miss you dearly)
small yet cozy
its the best start anyone could ever asked for
laughing at ourselves in our swimwears
swimming in the high school pool non-stop for one entire hour
while the girl who refused to wear her hot chilli-red, star-studded swimsuit
ran along the track alone with much determination (grins)
the 80cents raisin buns accompanied with 95cents blueberry buns tasted superb
right yihang?haha.

canoe is not just about paddling on waters
or gym or circuits or swimming or running
but its more about
sharing with each other
bits of our everyday lives
and living our passion
so much that it has become an integral part of my life

canoe nationals - the big day is finally over
we won fourth
and the canoe guys came in second
im so proud of our seniors!
throughout the competition
the fighting spirit never did fade away
giving our teammates going down to compete our last hugs and encouragement
seeking shelter when it stormed during the finals
cheering our boats down the lane with hearts trembling with anxiety and prayers
seeing the boats cross the finishing lines with tears of joy and relief
and ending it with a glamorous shot at the pontoon.
that sums it all.
hwachong canoeing woosh!



had post competition dinner that night
at glasshouse fish and co.
thanks wenyi,wenqi and yingxia
for the rose,exquisite necklace and teambottle
thanks seniors for the sweet notes and little gifts
thanks canoeguys for the chocs, bookmark and sunflower



truly treasured all the moments spent together

4:30 PM masquerade



drew this when the class had econs today.
used purple,black and blue markers on a sheet of special gloss paper.
photograph taken using my room's spotlight
cool right?
and masquerade.
addicted to that word.
somehow;

watching LOST on tv now.
full of suspense.
never could guess what'll be next.

and i cant believe that our class is having swimming lesson this term.
gosh.

the most random entry ever.



God brings little surprises in life;
thank you.

5:53 PM back to school;

the feeling of being back in school is _____________
fill in the blank yourself (adjective)
past days have been like extended holiday.
that fateful week of block tests felt just like a mere nightmare.
so unreal.
till i came back to school again and realised that its for real.

had a great 4 days break.
went out with wenhui to settle her passing down presents.
found out that lighter with a carved name's rather cool and sleek.
pigged out with meihui at bugis swensens.
loved the banana and mango splits,love chatting with ya even more.
haha.
she laughed till she cry cos she remembered throwing my towel into the bin in the hotel toilet during our sec three trip to hongkong.
goodness gracious!
watched 'just my luck' with yueqi,yiwei,eunice,nicholas,sean,chris,simon,ivan
chickflick
sweet
just like every fairytale with a happy ending
make you smile all day after watching it (:
met up with tiffany at orchard
lingered past the hot items on the shopping list
ate taka's cheese and egg noodles
and dont forget the yogurts.
thanks for being the most stupendous best friend ever.
till our stayover date.

love catching ups!

and my life on a k1
is no longer that torturous
managed to go quite straight and paddle full strokes instead of just stroking water today
capsize count=ONE only.
greatest accomplishment on waters ever
frustration is really not the weapon in canoe
calm and composed
the way it should be
seven more days?
unbelievable.
fight HARD everyone.

will france win portugal tonight?
the result will be out in hours time.
its a pity germany lost.
many hearts are broken yeah.
haha.

and i still have ZERO idea what to do for art.
save me.


ps.get well soon yueqi!


tag replies here

7:00 PM maiden post;

my life in diaryland officially ended.
discovered blogspot is much easier to manouvre.
and guess what.
this is the very first blog template i've ever designed (:
with the courtesy of photoshop and blog html huntings.
felt so accomplished

im so glad block tests are finally over
you can simply find this sentence all over everyone's blogs without fail
haha.
that horrifying week of drilling notes after notes into my brain during the night before each test was totally unbearable
tormenting is the word
regretted not starting early
like what yimtong said
grades "D E A D" for all four subjects
haha.
think it'll be worse
and yueqi says hwachong sends our results to our parents through post
how cool is that.

back to my beloved macritchie waters!
last training was horrible though
with the strong gusts of wind from the side
and our boats kept on going right
(haha it rhymes)
the currents were strong
and the boats just rocked incessantly
(like avril)
it was my 8th time on a K1
completed 4 racesets of 750m with manda on T1 enhanced with 2 capsizings during turning
oh well

we had our pre-competition potluck tonight at wenyi's place
bet we had the right dosage of yummy food, laughter and heart talks.
unostacko,cards and soccer joined in the fun too
happy belated birthday patrick!


lihui you are greatly missed!


snapshot of seniors

12th of july
continue to fight it all out on waters
though burdened by our own worries
though puzzled by the techniques of using the paddle right and leaning forward
though caught in our own anxiety and fear we can do it yeah (:

i have an oil painting due end of july
and i still have
no inspiration
plus no motivation to activate the start button
im so dead



when you live by faith,you win;
when you live by sight,you lose.
