Hey peepz! It me again duh.
Just make a quick entry, before I head back to studying for a test I have yet to study for. He he.
Just finished sava sprints. Great experience. Highs, lows, ups, downs, happiness, sadness. At the end of the day, the results do not matter. So no need to say. Learnt so so so many things.
For me personally, I learnt that I should keep calmer, and really try to keep my stress levels down (I have no freakin clue how, but I will try). I am such a worry-nilly girl sometimes.
Anyway, congrats again to all those who won, all those who races, and really, all those who took what they can from this experience.
And I think bedok reservoir is really nice. If I stay at the east, I would run there every single day.
and of course, drama never ever seems to not occur at any db competition. Soooooo much stories. Nivea girls, red bull girls, huge dogs, much cheering, much supporting, much laughter. Exciting races, wonderful. i hope we gelled together.
And also, most notable an incident occurred when a friend said something that angered some people from another team. My friend is so so so depressed. I really wish I could do something for him. I just said 'hugz' to him. Damn gay can? but still, I wonder if that word encapsulated all that I could do for him in all my own powerlessness.
But I know he will get over it. As we are all in support of him. We certainly do not endorse his views, but he's our brother, and whatever wrong he did, we will stand by him.
What made the most impact for me personally, were the interesting responses that followed. some full of angst, some full of grace, some with considerable maturity and some, herm, erm, quite unjustified really. Just thought it ironic, that as one individual thought my friend's words represents our team, when (he probably did not realize) he’s own o.t.t. aggression and hatred may well be a reflection of his own team (which in turn reflects badly on themselves). Of course, as I do not endorse the idea, that our friend's view represent ours, I dun suppose this individual's represent theirs. It would be so unfair. And of course, there is nothing for us to judge. God sees all and He does all the judging that needs to be done.
Just happy to see more forgiving responses than hate mails. It is just a sad reflection of how again, institutional enmity, seems to have unjustifiably taken control of some people's lives over and above the need for more peace and harmony in a world mired in more unnecessary hate and violence than there already is.
In the times of our age, in the resonance of black eye peas famous song and alvin's infamous quips, we really just need more love. and to my friend, we love you. Hope you can rise above it all and come out stronger, like you always have. Hugz.

i agree whole heartedly, two wrongs dun make one right. and its interesting that u mentioned abt the irony that the comment by that person who made an all emcompassing assumption that wat ur friend said reflected a larger sentiment; that watever attitude and spirit contained within his comment would logically flow to represent wat my mates feel, going by the trend of thought adopted by him. i was thinking abt it from that angle as well. hahah, but i happily assure u, it is not the case at all, we dun subscribe to such mindless frenzied prejudice.
i would rather friendship and reconciliatory overtures any time.
cheers
Totally agree lah MC...
My sentiments exactly.. the irony of it all.
Haha.. enuff said, lets just hit the water and enjoy the waves!
'Loooooonnnnngggg Pull!'
J

Sigh...tsk tsk..
