a Big CONGRATULATIONS to our....

Men's Novice K-1, 8th position - Bryan

Men's Novice K-1, Runner up - Dion

And we apologize for not knowing how many other medals we have, because of the screwed-uppyness of the Singapore Canoe Federation. Maybe they should try revising their organizing strategy. Might i suggest a Diploma in Events Management?

But i digress. Everybody who went to row today is a champion =) Good job everybody.

And a special thank you to Choon Teck, Qing Ling and Te Kai For coming down to help out at the portage area today. I know the rest of you would have wanted to come too, but couldn't make it because of your one star, right? If you didn't have one-star course on today you wouldhave come too, riiiight? ^_^ (Say yes or i keel you.)

I think it is a testament to Coach today, that so many of the medals were won by his students. That includes SAJC, who really took many many medals earlier.

You should have been there to see his smile.

Speaking of coach, he's decided that we're going to be doing running training everyday. Any of you freshies who want to join us, it's 8.6km a day. Woohoo.

Otherwise.... since SCM marks the end of our extremely long 3-month long competition season, you guys can now look forward to land training again (whoop-dee-doo) and, of course, swimming training. =D

Lastly.... on a more serious note, selections are coming up soon. You need to know that, as mentioned very long ago, not everybody can stay. Coach will be conducting selections to keep only a handful out of you guys. Only the best can remain, and i'd like to stress that its not just how fast you can row, or how quick you get on a K-1, crap like that.

We've already experienced that the fastest to learn are not always the best. And the slowest to bloom can be the most dangerous. Nothing is certain.

Except for one thing - Don't expect to stay in this team if your attitude is shit, in any sense of the word. Even if your skills are up to par by coach's standards, If i don't like your attitude, I will do anything i can to make your life on the team hell. And I can do a great many things, I'm pretty resourceful. And I'm sure my awesome partner will be pretty eager to help. We're great at teamwork that way.

I swear you will end up leaving by yourself, if that happens.

Luckily, though, I am also very friendly ^_^

Would this face lie to you? =)

Anyway, my point.

I'm watching some of you. Its probably not to late to reflect now, you still have some time.

But when we say its too late, it WILL be too late.

Cheerios! ^_^

A post on SCM will be done when I get my hands on some of the photos...
