back from penang

after a torturous 14hours bus ride, we are finally back in SINGAPORE! i have never felt so happy to see my bed before. and my home sweet home!

let me sidetrack while. finally met up with boonee! and it was only a short lunch before i leave for penang. but it nice. to have even that 1 hour to talk and eat together. and sweet her as usual gt me a huge box of throat soothers which was pretty useful. hee. muacky!

back to penang. it was an intense trip. with all the emotional whirlpools. and together, we won our very first gold medal of the year! i am so so proud of the boys and gals. even though i wasnt rowing, on the shore, we can sense and feel the desire to win. that boat really want to win.
our gals did well too! got our 1st silver medal! the feeling was so strong when we came up from the race that all of us just hugged each other and cried. its such times that make us feel whole again as a team. for the 1st time, the boat was eerily quiet after a race set. everyone's just holding their breath.
guys did their best i am sure, even though they lost by just that bit. i have trust and faith in them that they can do it! june race awaits us. we'll eat all of them k! boat by boat. race by race.
my heart just went out to all of them when i saw them came out from the boat. it really pains me. but there's just so much we can do to help them feel better. we can really see how much they feel for the team.

ps. so happy for mr delong and joshua for getting their 1st medal! u guys deserve it!
pps. congrats to my perks. u did us proud. virgin overseas cox. well done!
