there were so many questions. what was the game plan? how are we going to row? who is going to win?
it was a pretty good medal haul for nus this time round. unprecedented. guys, 2 golds, 1 4th. girls, 1 gold, 1 3rd. mixed plate 1st. its like wow. ms wen cried tears of joy. haha!
i was the drummer this time round! haha! got medals as rower, this time as drummer. next up as coxwain! haha! Vijay better make space! haha! kiddin kiddin. we will see lah. in any case, i have pretty much lost my voice. and with reference to gm's usual joke to me, i blew as hard as can. i blew and blew and blew. i hope my blowing perked the guys up. as the drummer, it was sure pretty wet and wild from where i was, and i blew and blew and blew. i blew for every guy in the team. i blew for the guys in the boat, i blew for they guys on shore. i even blew for the girls. and at the end of the day, i was glad everyone was happy. okay. if you the joke just blown over and you had no idea what it meant, think dirty. and if you got it, shame on you! haha!
to many it means much. to some its special. James is our 1 semester exchange student, and i guess db changed his life. 'nuff said. haha! i will miss that bugger. his nz/malaysian accent, and to gm, his white girls, and gm's "intellectual looks." haha!
at the same time, despite the credible results, i left with more questions, than answers by the time i reached back to my room. what will happen from now? how will people change? what will i do? options, options, options. and of course, choice versus decision.
anyway, congrats to all the winners, also, and a special mention to Jon! haha! after all your hard work with your team, i sure hope it paid off for his team.
at the end of the day, moments of happiness, moments of sadness, the fleetingness of emotions, the essential dis-utility of a medal, the gone day of another event. like they said, its always the journey, the bonds, the friendships.
time to hit the books. 1 more essay, 5 more exams. 3 more weeks. 1 more sem. and 1 ultimate decision.
