no where in sight.

today's yet another day. a day for notes, tutorials, tests, and most importantly, a day for training my useless body.

i brought my sister's camera to school today. i actually wanted to take photos of myself doing the kayakpro. ha. yes, it sounds dumb. but i need to know how i looked when i'm doing it, and how my starting stroke looked too. turns out, i'm still fine. my stroke have the BIG C as instructed by my coach-pe teacher-teacher ic-advisor-buddy. during the afternoon break, i did my triceps and a bit rowing on the kayakpro. i skipped GP lecture, so that i could have my lunch as i needed to wait for at least half an hour after taking my NITRIX and creatine.

here's a picture of the kayakpro. the cold, mean looking, machine.

yes, its only for boaters.

had my maths test. and i actually knew roughly what were the questions were, by courtesy of cindy, my nice, yet ugly "sister". haha. yes sis. i know i'm FUGLY. haha. the complex number question looked very intimidating, but it could be done easily. what i felt was more challenging was the numerical method question. if i hadn't prepared the graph before hand, i know i would be stuck drawing the curve. this paper set to fail us then?! not really. just to slaughter off those whom did not study for it. i did my preparation, and i thought it was pretty okay. i could pass.

went back to the gym after maths. i went on to do my shoulders. ha. i am trying to make it become broader. its too narrow for me. no one would believe me if i told them i was a triathlete cause the shoulders don't say so. speaking of triathletes, i have been thinking what will i do after stepping down from dragonboat. and hui sin agrees with me, that we will go back to aerobic activities, which means more long distance running, swimming, and for me, cycling if i can find a road bike. that's because my fitness goals have always been to improve my triathlon disciplines. and endurance activites is what i do best. i guess my body was build to be that way. yepp. but for now, i'd still concentrate on my dragonboat, and working hard to win the medals at national schools. back to the gym, mr lee and i went to do some minor adjustments to the kayakpro. now its okay, and ready for us to clock our best 1km set. i tried to do 1 minute, attempting to hit 350m. i did it, but it left my gasping for air. imagine i have to do 3 minutes of that intensity so i can hit 1km. crazy.

napfa's this thursday. i'm both excited and afraid. cause this time, a new chance to beat my personal best 2.4 timing of 9min15sec. afraid as i could score a silver if i didn't jump far enough. wish me luck.



so this is me. with the big C paddles up position. to those juniors whose stroke is still quite bad, this is how u twist forward and begin your stroke. notice that my shoulder blades are facing you. and the paddle angle is positive. high punching arm. slightly bent punching arm. almost straight rowing arm.


here's the smaller picture. notice all the same things i said above. except that black lady standing beside me.
