Penang Trip
to put it simply... i think this trip has made a big difference in my life... c'mon... we were somewhat totally independent... andrew was almost alwaz nowhere-to-be-found... i mean we kinda grew up... learnt to look out for each other... help each other out... on a serious note... being alone in a foreign place... without your family... or someone older to look over you... it kinda forces you to grow up... i think i did... i boiled the water in my room... washed my own clothes... hung my own stuff... packed my bags... managed my finances... without the ATM card... other that the beds and general cleanliness to the chambermaids... we did everything ourselves.. i honestly... mine was the best room among the rest... but pardon the fact that they're a bunch of lazy boys... kinda knew all my people better too... got really pissed with some of them during the trip... but soon... you'll realise that you cant do without each other... though somebody might really suck today... tomorrow without him is like totally not workable... dunnoe why me and WQ got different views abt the guys... i thot sam was the best among the 3 of them... i mean he was the oni one who din let his fatique affect the mood and spirit of the grp... but she thot that he's abit too tensed up during races... it was kinda difficult... trying to bring up the spirit of the grp when we're doing so badly... back in sg... we can sail... better than most beginners... but there... we got thrashed like we never did b4... morales hit rock bottom... and some of my team mates comments really didnt help... i couldnt do much also... coz my ego also slammed rock bottom... it didnt help that we were all so tired after every day... it was the very first time we raced for 7 consecutive days... and trained for 2 days before that... professionals get rest days before their actual races... and actual races never lasted more than 5 days... but at the end of the day... we still came together... and watch TV... talk crap... i think that's what a team is for... to bring you up when you are down... so that you can keep on going... i love my team... ----Stef stopped rambling at 00:00 --Link to Post |
