Mary & i

Dear Mary,
eventhough we only got together after nats last year, when i asked joohui if i could have you, and eventhough i initially chose you simply cos you're red, i must say that i have grown very much attached to you.

i still rmb pre-nats 07, when the j3s would complain of how imba your backwash was, and i thought: hell it'd be pretty cool to have a boat that could cause so much destruction..

im sorry i ever tried to rename you, cos now i realize that it's not quite the same calling you Nash, especially with all the history that came along with you. i will always remember the Bloody Mary at your floor, which i'd stare at when i get tired and my vision would get blurry and the words "Oody ary" would keep ringing in my head. (best not question the shagged mind). i will always remember the names of my predecessors scrawled inside you, and all the medals that You have helped them win.

Dear Mary, sitting next to you after trg today truly was wonderful. visualizing my race with you by my side made me feel strong. it made me believe that we do stand a chance in winning that gold for the team. as i stroked the multitude of scratches on your exterior, and the small chips, it was clear that you've contributed so much to the team in your lifetime, and i am so proud to be part of this amazing heritage. and i believe that we can set one more milestone, before they take us out of the game. t1 gold, mary. that's all i want. that's all i need. let's do this together, okay? heck the bloody competition. we'll pwnz them right, mary? I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH YAY!

-end of lovenote to mary-

trg today was pretty good.. macs was super spammed with the usual bunch, plus the visiting schools.. cut pb on mary by 20secs. damn good time to peak yes. k4 today was better too yup.. weighed mary and she's really quite fat.. =/ Mary france bodyline hahaha~!

bern sent out lane draws earlier tonight.. pretty scary competition sigh.. oh btw, my k4 heats is at 12.30 on tues and my t1 heats is at 3.20 on wed! COME COME SUPPPORT! =D

team tried to embarrass me after trg today but i made it out of macs pretty much unscathed phew..

today was our very last training.. -sad.

climbed over busstop gate, showered, prayed then met nazzer at ps. swensens, hancock, long bus ride where i knocked out for 30mins and twitched periodically.. nazzer darling sweetheart gave me a Parker pen engraved with my name aww.. i initially thought it was a pretty random choice for a birthday gift but lol like most of his presents, it grew on me yup.. he was pretty indignant that i failed to see the value of a Parker pen and that was amusing and cute lol.. in any case, thankyou for a wonderful day & i love you haha!

i shall now proceed to spaz over nats for abit then try to zen.. -nods.. ah yes and a quote from nazzer: "oh _______! Yeah she's rather monster... But you are more monster than her, my little spunchkins!"

i cant decide whether i should be flattered or not.. =/
