Regatta 2008

It's gonna be my 8th Regatta finals tmr! It'll be womens' open, followed by the womens and mixed category in the public service.

I still remembered my first Regatta in 2001. That was when I was still a very fresh and of cos..young rower =)

I still remembered it was Shihui sitting beside me and we were seated in a super awkward position. We had our inner leg placed on the seat in front of us. Then I'll tell the rower in front of me to juz sit on my foot. haa then my other leg will eventually be kicking agst shihui's as we went down the race course. Our coxswain was our super senior (was supposed to be mr nasiman. but he had a back-to back race, so he cldnt come to us in time.) And we charged too early! (haha i remembered it was at the sir stamford raffles statue) so of cos..we died out *panting* dat was my very first regatta race!

now.i cant remember how many have i gone down. But i alwaz remembered being replaced during Regatta but of cos, im ok with it cos I believe in my team mates.

Regatta has alwaz been deemed as a heng-suay race. cos of the lanes and the water condition. this year, it has been talked bout again. wonder what it will be like for tmr. but i felt that the outer lanes had an advantage, cos we dun have to be caught in the backwash. *pray hard*

And i forgot to bring my camera dis morning!! muz remember to bring it down tmr!
