after an amazing weekend of dragonboat, i feel reluctant to go back to canoe polo.
i can't feel the bond there i feel with my nj team mates. i am losing the passion. i'm dreading tmr's training.
help me! i need something to kick that lethargy out of my body.
i am so looking forward to the KTV session in the evening instead. geez.. my thoughts have been what's going to be on my song list. haha
friends have been congratulating me on NUS's victory over NTU in the President's Challenge during the dragonboat fest. everybody thought i am part of the NUS Dragonboat team! let me clarify here that I AM NOT!!!!!!! Please.. I will never represent NUS in dragonboat.. i respect them for the hard work they put in and the improvement i see in them over the years. But in my heart, NJC will always be the best team. I have always had this rather arrogant way of thinking: we used to be THAT good, we (my year) won the 3 open category (man, woman, mixed), so don't mix us up with rowers of calibre lower than us. The feeling is probably like, how a French soccer player will feel like when he is mistaken to be Latvian?
The thing is, we USED TO BE that good. Not anymore now. Not anymore. I know it's time to flatten the ego. But i'm pretty sure I'm not the only person from the girls' boat who feels this way rite? If not, why do we always say 'we may not stand a chance to qualify, but we muz at least beat XXX' rite?
