To my dearest IITDB team.
I am really so very honoured that I am part of you guys.
Joining the team was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made.
We ALL did it. :')
To my dearest IITDB girls;
I love you guys so much.
I don't know if it was because I had gotten a medal when I rowed as freshie or what but I really really always believed that we as a team would get at least a bronze.
But I guess people didn't really look up to us as competition or like a force to be reckon with or what la, and that probably made some of you feel like we won't make it.
HEAR YOU ALL SAY SAY SAY also make me lose confidence.
Damn sian.
But I really still go to every training thinking that.. one more training closer to regatta, one more training closer to getting that medal around my neck. It will all be worth it in the end, press on.
We went from having to stop halfway while rowing to being able to row without stopping from one end to the other, from bridges to bridges.
We did it girls, we freaking got a silver.
I have a lot of feels la, don't know how say out only.
Everytime ask me say something I only have one or two sentences to say, or even just one phrase because I really don't know how to say hahaha.
I may not be the best with words but I tried my best to express as well as I possibly could ah.
/alphabetical order for the 12 girls cause I am a very fair person
To Janissa,
It was always nice talking to you when we're walking to/back from bedok reservoir. I don't remember what we talked about but I know I had fun :-) Rowing next to you was so cool, I was like aw man when we were separated for the first time LOL. Don't be upset about what you talked about after the race, because honestly, if we were affected by you, we won't have a gotten a silver. ;-)
To Jazreen,
My Jaz². Remember that day when we rowed next to each other during training and the people behind were saying we had a scandal together because our synchronization with each other was so good? That is exactly why we will be rowing together next year. Maybe we can go psycho the Jazreel ah? Jaz³ ;-) triple the jaz, triple the trouble omg I damn lame but really!
To Miao Ting,
I know you sacrificed a lot to be training and rowing with us, especially the last few trainings. Although you may not be my direct sub empire OL when we were in Zaelos, you were still really nice to me (YAY I think cause I too cute you can't resist) and now, we're like friends woohooohooo. Thank you for always taking care for me even though now we're all a year older.
To Natasha,
It was good being on the same boat training and rowing with you. Thank you so much for lending me your youknowwhat and your banana boat sunblock. We used to stop together on the boat when we first began out, remember? Not being able to catch up last time, look at how far we came man. Looking forward to rowing in the same boat next year with you too ;-)

To Qi Rong,
Attending so many trainings with you was really great. You always offered me help and a listening ear and I will always be grateful for that. We'll get a gold when we row for the next regatta, nothing less alright ;-)? Here is to trainings together and getting that gold around our neck yeah.
To Qinaah,
BEST OL AH BEST OL~ Great job on the pacing, it was amazingzxcxcxc. Rowing behind you was cool ah HAHA. My only fellow dreknar mate on the boat, who is the second person we hated the most hmm? :-) Thanks for helping to take charge sometimes and everything else! I look forward to rowing with you again next year, you with your red lifevest and the gorgeous paddle ;-)
To Qiu Mei,
I was there when you came for your first training (RIGHT?) and boy, have you progressed far. It was really a great pleasure rowing right next to you!!! It was great fun man! Next camp I will bring luggage and we sleep together again okay? Really happy to have met you in db (I didn't know you from iitsc y'know) and being friends with you. Yay to rowing in the senior team next year!!
To Ruiyi,
It was really cool having that 3 hours on my first day of work hearing you complain about ~~ and I think that was what made me /closer/ to you hahaha last time I scared to talk to you one like serious. I like talking to you!!! Also, it was really shiok being able to row with you, you know that. All the shifts we gave up, all the money gone could not and never equal to being able to get that medal that is priceless yeah.
To Samantha,
Looking forward to looking with you next year, because rowing with you when we were freshies was really a good feeling and I need to have that feeling again!! We'll meet each other on the mrt (provided you'll be going for trainings alone ok???) there and we can talk muahahaha. Gold medal yeah ;-)?
To Sheryl,
Honestly I don't have any impression of you being in Zaelos :-( I was living in my Zaefic shell hahah sorry. But thank you for so many things too!! You always offered to help me, intro me job, helped me find out answers when I asked questions etc etc. You also always listened to me and provided me advice (sometimes they're good) Working, training, rowing with you is really such a great pleasure. SPAM SUNBLOCK AH SPAM AH SPAM. COME BABY BABY COME COME BABY.
To Trina,
My Zaelos LT head. It was really good to be able to train with you, you were always there screaming, shouting, doing all the prep talk, and encouraging me. Thank you for helping me with so many million things (like finding a replacement for my shift and being even more worried than I was). I feel so proud to be a Zaelos freshie cause 3 Zaelos OLs in the dragon boat team taking care of me so much haizxccx.
To Veronica,
The sacian whom I didn't know was in IIT. I never saw a sac senior that went to iit................. until open house when I met you that day. Haha, you're damn cool la like seriously. Hahaha, why we both graduate from sac I not as cool as you??? It was good fun training with you, with all your serious face all. Good job on pacing man, you were amazeballs.
And of course cannot forget the captain and vice captains ah!
To Aliff,
I don't really know what to say la, but we did it ah. The girls got a silver ah. I am very glad to be able to row under your captaincy, not just once, but twice. (considered right) For that, I'm grateful. Thank you so very much. Even though you always say my smile annoying but I know you like it anyway la makes you happy right.
To Cheryll,
I am very happy we didn't let you down. Silver!!!!!!! Seeing your proud face when we reached the shore was really :D All the times you corrected me and I replied you with a (sheepish) smile, I'll remember them ah. Really happy that you leaded the team well ah, thank you so very much. Thanks for believing in me too!! (you did right) I know my smile very cute heheheh.
To Haziq,
