Im freaking pissed.

Today was my k2 500m race. My dear partner Jieyi was present. thank God. haha

We warmed up, reported, got our number tag for the boat, and headed for the starting line. The stupid starteR take so long to start. We were in lane 3. He was like "lane 1 hold, lane 2 hold, lane 4 hold, lane 5 hold, lane 3 move forward. lane 5 move backward, lane 1 move backward, lane 3 hold, move back!" etc. So we took super long to start, and when we did, would you believe it, we were third for about 250m. Crescent was leading the whole way but i couldnt be bothered because all i needed was to get at least the third position to qualify for finals.

Temasek was next to us, in second position but yet again, we couldnt be bothered. *CERTAIN SCHOOL* was far behind so we were damn glad that we beat them. Gan eng seng was about 3-5 metres behind us. And i had hope.

Unfortunately, around the 250m mark, they started to catch up, so i tried to maintain our speed. But around the 350m mark, they were ahead of us but half a metre. THEN i pushed dam hard, with all my might and shouted at jieyi to push too, and we were like neck to keck with them and we could hear the crowd rooting for us to see who would get into the finals. But at the last 100m, which i totally gave my all, i think, they caught up and won us by like 15cm.

JUST A LITTLE BIT HARDER I SHOULD HAVE PUSHED.

My arms felt like they were going to fall off cause I was really extremely tired. Which probably meant that i DID give my all. Anyway, started tearing right after, how could i have not? I mean, like the whole team, especially coach, probabaly depended on us, and we were in third place, about to make it to the finals, but we didn't. Felt like shit after that. Grabbed a granola bar as pity food to calm me down. Jieyi saw me sobbing to myself and offered me a tissue but she started sobbing too.

Gosh, and Nellie and Natalie got 4th place too, but they protested that TMS got their paddles into their lane, which they did, and that made them swerve the boat to avoid TMS and then lose control of the boat, and in the end getting 4th position. But the protest didnt work because according to the decider person, "It didn't affect your boat" even though they replayed the tape. Like wth mann. I mean, no offence n&n, but last year you guys got DQ cause your paddles went ON THE LINE. And now these people give all these crap reasons. UGH.

So in the end, majority of the team got 4th position and only Joan, Darwita, Saffa(2 events), and Jiaying made it into the semi's or finals. None, i repeat, NONE of the C division got past the heats. And Mrs choo got angry that we were doing so badly that she told us that if only these few people made it into the finals, she wouldn't let us go tommorrow, the 10th, to watch the semi's cause she saw no point. So luckily, joan and jiaying made it past the heats and we got the news that we were allowed to go. =

So now you know why i feel like crap? Because we COULD have made it into the finals if we pushed just a BIT more harder( i don't blame anything on you jieyi). I keep replaying the race in my mind so many times, telling myself i should have pushed a bit more harder, just a bit more, at the point where they started to catch up, or the last 100m, even thought i KNOW i gave my all. Jieyi and i are so dam pissed. But i also have to congratulate them for beating us. sportsmanship. =)

But i am happy that we beat *A CERTAIN SCHOOL* because they talk crap about us but in the end, they are the ones who lose. in your face. hehe....

Well, I'll try to post more pictures on Cambodia ASAP aiite?
