Had db meeting today. Didn't plan to go 'cos I sprained my ankle yesterday and I couldn't even walk properly. Told Cindy but she said it's a very important meeting and she told me to take a cab then she'll reimburse me the $. My dad was quite pissed that I went for the meeting. K la, not pissed but worried (He thinks that I always go with the flow instead of making sensible choices). Kept asking me to don't walk ard too much. I felt fine today. It's not painful anymore, just a lil teeny weeny bit of discomfort, like your ankle abit the fragile like that. He asked me to come back right after the meeting to rest but I still went bugis with yuen ching, lijun, jo, qianyi, dy and mei jie for dinner. The meeting i felt wasn't very the objective, as in i felt that we were digressing. I don't know. I felt that my mind was kinda bursting as the discussion went on. Define trust. Do you really have trust in me now? I feel that trust is only gained when I show you that I can and have the ability to do it (something like getting everything right). Till date, I doubt that I have shown people that I am able to do it. The seniors were talking so much on trust. Trust on the boat. To be honest, I can trust the people in my boat. But I feel that the reason why I can trust is because I'm junior. I know that my seniors will be able to give more than I can (but that doesn't make me catch less water,etc) and juniors will at least do their best they can. <- Erm, I don't really know how to put this across. But honestly, can the more experienced rowers trust the amateurs? I mean I can trust but how about others.(Shit. There's a cat groaning/moaning outside my hse. Eee.) Was funny at the part when Geok talked about using a cane to discipline us to like run faster. I was trying to imagine: seniors each holding a cane chasing the juniors. Lijun was giggling as well. I thought my mum might do a good job. She used to cane us alot last time. LOL.
Ok. Now we do have a common goal: Nothing but a Gold. Nothing is gonna stop us from that Gold. Not even the taxi boat. To be honest, after losing 3 competitions, most, if not all of us, are hungry. Hungry for medals, for recognition. We are in NUS DB for a reason: to win.
"The team is only as strong as the weakest link." I must jiayou.
Should I go for this workshop: Being a social magnet. So that I can socialize better. I suck at that. Lol.
