SAG

800m freestyle yesterday was the best experience i ever had.. no kidding! i'm serious! i'll never forget it.... no, i did not improve nor did i get the loudest clap for being last (damn 11 yr old girl who stole my last place)..... it's something different...before i report, i was already telling ppl that i'm gna do fly for the first 25m and either fly or breast for the last 25m..... but when i was on the plunging board, i was still thinking whether i should really do it coz it wld be really really weird and embarassing... at first i made up my mind that i'll just do freestyle SLOWLY... but once i hit the water, my mind was telling me:"shermayne! just go for it! it's a start into doing something extraordinary!" so yea.. did my fly kick and off i go.. with fly for first 25m.. and i was smiling all the way..

and yiwen just cracked up when she saw me really doing fly... the rest of the 800m was boring.... but yea.... i had something to think of - whether i should actually do fly or breast for the last 25m... maybe i should just do free coz every1 wld be waiting for me and they'll probably BOO me if i did breastroke coz they'll hv to wait even longer...(u see, i thought i was already last).. and i was too tired to do fly and it wld look real bad.......but yea.. when come to the last 25m... i was like.. do BACK only larr!!!! make heaps of splashes so it seem as if i'm trying my best... hahaha!!!! but yea.. when i touched, no one clapped as i realized there's still this girl swimming.... it was a real good experience tho!!

i'm proud with myself coz i've never ever done such thing in my life coz i nv had to guts to do so... i'll always follow the majority.. but yesterday, i did something i never thought i wld hv done... so yea, the fact that i have the guts to do it and not follow the majority makes me proud... i suppose i'll hv more guts into doing other stuff from now on and standing up for myself and go for it eventhough i think it wld be so weird....

today... no events in the morning but still went... i reckon' doing nothing makes u get tired easily.... was so sleepy in the afternoon.. went to the club and took a nap.. then warm up there then only walked down to PADE and swim.... had 50m fly... i have never sprinted 50m fly all the way for months!!!!! close to a year... so yea, i freaked out... plunged in and first 25m was like.. woah! not bad not bad... still can pace the girl next to me.. after that.. KO! i was struggling..... did crap timing but not last.. haha!!

the most surprising thing was when pauline came up to me and passed me my cert telling me i got 3rd placing.. man!!! it was such a crack up!! i was so shocked!! kinda impossible but pfft!! who cares! 3rd placing! for once in my life when there's more than 3 swimmers! haha! i never ever get a placing in SAG in my life till today...haha! shows that i'm real crap in swimming... after that, was 4x100 free relay... only two teams.. ksas and pade.. so sure get 2nd = last... we were only 2s behind them thanks to sin seanne.. damnit!! kinda gutted coz if only i swam like 2s faster.. we wld hv gotten first which wld be like.. woah!!! hahaha! what to do?? no stamina.... kind regretted.. shld hv trained more than a week.. actually i trained less than a week in total..haha! and it's not really training coz they were already tapering when i joined... not so tough marr when tapering..lolx!

ok, tmrw is last day of SAG... kinda sad coz it's been fun... the fun's gna end SOON! real soon!! time to sleep!!! byeeeee and peiyun is going to sgp!! i think she's probably there already.. i dno. she said 21st jan she leaving but maybe might change to 23rd.. so yea.... peiyun, when u read this.. text me!!!!
