I was telling a few people what had been going through my mine -- my thoughts about Dragon Boat.
Before every single training, I would ask myself if I'm really serious about being a competitive paddler/rower. The irony was that I had to drag my lazy and reluctant body to go for trainings, but during and after trainings, I knew from inside out, these three-word lyrics kept singing, "I feel good!"
For the past 1.5 weeks, there were more trainings, for the mind, body and soul. But today, I was told to go for Sunday training tomorrow, with the seniors. This really means a lot to me. This makes me more certain that I have been fighting and my seniors have seen me fighting and I MUST fight on.
There is a possibility that I'll be competing in July. That's another motivation to train hard.
After training today, I decided to walk home from TP with Ying Hui, the other design freshie in Women's Dragon Boat. Feeling bad about asking her to walk with me, plus she lives about 1km away from me, I walked her to some where near her place and detoured back. Keeping fit feels good, but I shouldn't take DB training just as a fitness CCA. Walking along the reservoir, looking at the waters, breathing in the fresh air, I really thought a lot.
I should and must look forward to every training be it land or water. Dragon Boat should be my new passion, like how passionate I was for Student Council and Girl Guides. The drive is somewhere in there but I have to get it out!
Term break is coming to an end. Next week will be the start of a brand new block with my fresh mind. I think I've rested enough to recharge my "brain battery".
School life will be about ballancing assignments and trainings well enough to not fall apart mentally and physically. Wish me luck =]

Originality for a PurposeY
So much of being a "fashion student" , and believing in living for a purpose, see how fusing this 2 can bring new creations in fashion and helping kids in need.
