hello! our first week of wrestling with kboat is officially over (: haha i think we can (kinda) safely make it to 500m mark and back, and rescue teammates, without capping much anymore :D yay! our canoe encouragement board is imba! its so flooded with well wishes after just a couple of days, so work hard everyone! <3 color="#000000">
oh yes and i found the retarded agreement that sharon and i signed AGES ago. it says:

'due to failure to refer to xinhui as squirrel for the delegated time of 24 hrs, I, sharon lee zhao mei, promise to paddle xinhui in a T2 for 6km, with only myself doing the rowing'. hahaha that was so long ago! from that long-forgotten era when i was still in oac, and sharon was still trying to get me to join canoe. did i even know what a T2 was back then? needless to say she hasnt fulfilled her promise. yet. (:

it seems...surreal, that we've come this far, and reality is gonna crash down in just a few more days. i wont ever forget the first time i stepped into a T1, all the milestones we've achieved, that seem so insignificant but mean so much to us--learning how to get into the boat on our own, blade in and kick and twist and pull, learning to go straight, our first stormy water experience, learning to rescue, progressing to k1, bursting.and it's the last part i like the most, when you're totally focused on that straight expanse of water ahead of you and feeling the rush of wind and water and going all out. <3

countdown: 3 days.
