" in this secret, in this quiet place. in the darkness you are there. in this secret in this quiet hour i'll wait, only for you because i want to know you more. "
too long a time, since our last met up and i'm glad i got time today to just say "hello" to mah Saviour. which reminds me of shyam and his cheesy lines " tell God i said hi " and claiming he wanna dress like Jesus on halloween.
dad and mom were sweet enough to send me to SDBA where the others gathered. somehow the skies turned grey and the sea grew choppy. a huge gust of wind blew and overturned the dustin causing the metal lid to hit shawn. hahas, what a brillant day to kick start our sunday morning.
shyam and myself were still at the halloween idea and claimed the lousy weather was due to God telling us to go church and save training for later. we saw other teams rowing against the waves and boy did they look pathetic. they didn't budge one bit as they were rowing ! lol. shyam's gonna be the dummer boy and i gave him an idea of dressing up like Jesus on Sava sprints instead of running hysterically up and down Orchad Road with a bible. it would be rad to see him hit the headlines " Jesus spotted at Bedok Reservoir ? " which brings me back to a verse from Revelations stating when the end is near, there would be many prophets claiming to be our Heavenly King . blah blah blah ! lol, perhaps that prophacy would come alive once shyam purchases that US$20 Jesus costume off ebay.
we did our 500m warm ups before ah huat grouped us into the various boats. despite being chosen for sava sprints, i've a gut feeling my coach won't put me down for the race. frankly, i can't row for nuts and secondly i ain't ready. you see i don't twist enough and as hard as i try. a leapord can never change its spots overnight. seeing others being called to load the boat while me being asked to rest, does makes me feel segregated from the team. deep down, i yearn to row in regatta and be part of the main team. perhaps that time will come but just not now. the truth bites but i'd live with it. that explains the down face today. big ben's right, we've got a long way to go. much need to buck up doubly hard. so what if i can run or do gym, ultimately if you can't row - you can't perform.
ben tried correcting my strokes and i appreciate it. sorry baby, for disappointing you. being unable to get mah fundamentals right. but believe me, i'm trying very hard. i wanna row in mix ivp one day, together with you. seeing you row in races makes me proud of you and wanna tell the world " hey that's mah ben there ! " i'd be cheering you on for sava and regatta !
