this is just for keepsake. (:just came back from canoeing camp.
day one:
went to school quite early for breakfast. then went for trg. i rowed k1 and paced with cheryl, xinpei and hinyang. haha sorry was damn slow and all, and you all had to help me a lot, cos i was quite scared putting on resistance and stuff. =X thanks a lot. (: then after trg we went for canoe polo at big splash. did circuits first. for like 110min. we ran so many times. did stick, and simple. during the first run, i could alr feel the pain near my heart when we reached the end, but i held on, and other teammates kept encouraging me too. thanks a lot. played canoe polo later on, which was like a killer, i'm not aggressive enough i guess. and we bathed and went back for dinner and movie. it was quite a tiring day, but not that bad. i survived afterall. got sunburnt when i tried to sleep cos my shoulders hurt then i realised they were all red. finally fell asleep at 1 plus.
day two:
same stuff, woke up for breakfast. then we had to carry a 5kg load for the hike. so we took bus to ford factory first to see the stuff there, learn about people's sufferings and how little is our own pain and sufferings. after that we went for the hike from ford factory all the way to macritchie. plus, it was drizzling / raining. at first at bukit timah nature reserve, i was already almost dying, but dawn kept me going on, she kept encouraging me. thanks a lot. (: and then we walked and walked and walked, well, maybe run sometimes, for like almost 3 and a half hours. i must really thank dawn and the rest for encouraging me. cos at one point of time, i really felt like dying. i wished i was dead, i felt i could not breathe anymore. i wanted to give up, but dawn kept me going on. (: so after we got to macritchie, mr yong decided we could have the race that day, so we did. xD haha. i rowed k2 with wenpan. all the pairings were super weird. haha nice experience anyway. then after that we went back for dinner, and for another 2 movies. we watched till almost 1. that really trained our endurance, and i think i need to work more on it.
day three:
we could wake up at 830, but i woke up at 7 anyway. had breakfast, but then it started raining, so the ics decided to put back our trg to the afternoon. and we had study session first. so after study session, we went for an overall debrief which took quite long. we learnt all about our mistakes and stuff. then later after the whole thing around 5 plus, we were told that trg has been cancelled cos no teacher could make it. so we played this game which made me know more about the rest of the team, things i never knew about. (: quite a fun way to bond. haha. and after that we all went home. i must say this camp has taught me a lot about myself, how i need to improve on my fitness and endurance, and how i can become a better person, and how we can become a stronger team.
i'll remember these days.
my heart still bleeds for you.
