~~there's something about np swimteam~~

hohoho.....what a blast it was last sat!
2nd day of the ivp competition, and it was so intense!
swum my 50m breaststroke and 4x50m mens relay. didnt manage to win any but some of us did improve our timings! yay!
ladies did so well...to name a few, manda, terry, natalie, melena, jieping, jasmine....eerh did i just name all??? ahha....but nevermind. they did an excellent job.
overall singapore poly dominated the championship and we were placed 5th.
to me, i saw the ivp as a test for 2 objectives.
one was which to c who were the cream of the crop, sp proved so otherwise.
the other is not something that lasts very long.
and we , np swimteam are champions for that!
regardless of the outcomes and circumstances, the team stood united in arms and maintained their team spirit all the way through. im glad my choice to get back into swimming was not a loss...

once again, congrats to np swimteam for the gd performance!

~~~its the team spirit and sportmanship that only np swimmers have!~~~

boldness heading out !

once again, its friday...
the day everybody looks forward. well...at least i think so..haha pardon me if some of you think otherwise...
to me...i way over my head man! im going to swim one more time for the ivp swimming competition at republic poly. what a blast...this time round, i've got to break it through. im really going to give my one and all....as much as i can...
i just want to feel good over the fact that i did something for one and all...yups heyhey...
physically and mentally prepared i must be...

a day to remember...

hey there people!..
i had such a blast today man, wonderful and splendid at every point i could think of today! wondering what happened today right? haha...oh alright, shan't keep the suspense hanging for too long. the swimteam went to republic polytechnic to compete in the inter-varsity swimming competition. we had fun fighting against all odds, like other polytechnics and universities. what a blast!
for my part, i swam in the mens 100m breaststroke. my timing was 1min 17.68s. overall, i came in 5th. didnt expect too much from my results but i was pleased with the fact that i was 5th out of the whole lot!...wow. fellow marines did well too...my apologies but i cant remember the timings and results as of now..aha
but when it came to the mens 4x100m relay, every voice from the team could be heard from the complex cheering on our team out there, fighting their guts out like no other.
to me, i was happy because i never had this much fun in swimming! u see, i spent almost all of my time(life) in swimming alone. yes, there was no team to begin in the first place. hence, i felt miserable and lonely over the fact that there were no one to cheer me on and someone to give a pat on your back and give you that support u need when u hope to have it most. most of that time that i walked away from the pool with no face and dignity. which would explain no one knew of my existance despite the fact i trained with them evey time
i was a nobody.....literally.
im glad my decision to go back into swimming as an sportsman did not go to vain. and for that, i know that i've got much more to enjoy the life there is in team swimming spirit and the poly life it holds within.
i feel so glad
yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a new 2007?

what was day, will be night. and what was previously night, will be day again.
it has been 12 days since the beginning of the year 2007.
so what has it been since the opening of the new year?
we of all would love to think of new resolutions and ideals for the new world. destiny perhaps, would have made it all possible.
however, regardless of the resolutions and promises we make, it will be harder to stick by them. easier said than done perhaps. but lets try out something different shall we? how about, "easier done than said"? sounds redundant, but why not? its simply of our weak mindset we have that if we think we cannot possibly accomplish that goal, then back off. wouldnt it be so?
lately, i've been thinking about what i desired for myself for 2007. was suppose to do this on the 1st day of the new year, but i dragged it. so, my apologies for nearly 2 weeks delay, people.
finally, i did have a few things in mind. i want to enjoy myself as much as i could as a student in ngee ann polytechnic. i want to feel the spirit of it all while it may still last (during my time of 3years that is). another is that, maybe!!! i might get myself attached...haha...got someone in mind already. just not pushing for it yet..yup. broader mindset and thinking which falls under wisdom, is another i hope to achieve. these are just a few, but what i hope is that im able to see it through. i do know in my conscience that some of these may not be reached. but the very least i could do about it is that i will at least attempt to do so.
i know of people who's resolutions are of worldly/selfish/wishful desires. not complaining about it whether it is childish or not. to me, i feel its more of ..."was that a sincere desire or was that something that came out from the television?"
at the end of the day, or perhaps sometime later, one of us may think back then if we ever achieved that desire. so... something from sincerity, or from worldly ideals and influence?
