safyc/nsrcc regatta
ok. what can i say about this weekend. hmm.. i cant believe i gave up megalife for this.. haiz.
why it sucked :
(1) because i suck.. haha.. weird but true la.. not enough training.. argh.. everyone is getting so pro and so fit.. i better catch up sia.. looks like once a week trng is not quite enough.. guess i was a little cocky and stuff. but its not too late.. main goal.. inter-schools.. get top 5.. den at least can like get some credit to help in case i need to appeal.. ok.. getting out of point but.. ya.. who cares.. this is MY blog.. haha.
(2) BAD WEATHER. day 1. launch at 11.. this were alright.. wind just a little too strong for my liking.. but nvm.. need the excercise anyway. so ok.. ya.. hike hike.. still ok.. den storm came from behind us wind change 180 degrees and blah.. wait wait.. fortunately they "wise" enough to not hold race and wait for it to shift back.. ( i think its uncle tony's brains). so ok.. first 2 races were alright.. den another storm came! siao right.. it hit like when we were gonna finish the race.. and like on our last leg we were on close haul.. and there were major lulls and gusts.. and katja beat me at the last part because i was in a lull and she was in a gust.. haha..
second day.. conditions were the same.. haha... storm was approaching again.. and i was like doing all my predictions stuff.. the clouds were going in all different directions.. but.. funny.. the wind never shift! haha.. so funny sia.. what wrong with me.. next time better keep my mouth shut... so sail. sail.. den i think.. second race, got major storm la.. wind shifted around 10- 20 degrees i think.. ( no compass tho) haha.. so i lost out quite abit.. funny thing was that i predicted it.. but dunno why din do anything about it.. yupp den.. when the rain hit, it was practically blind leading the blind.. could not see.. and the rain drops were hitting my sun-burned skin like freaking darts la.. pain like dunno what. so like cold and pain .. den i was like telling mark.. "sure abandon one la.. cant even see where we need to go sail what?!" den guess what.. they din abandon.. could have protested them for holding races in foul weather.. but shall not waste my time la..
(3) committee din do such a good job on the courses on the last day.. like.. it was those kind of one tack upwinds.. see who can saiol faster kind of race.. no tactics or whatever involved.. ya.. and start lines were screwy... like port so biased that when on starboard, practically parallel la.. haha.. den like chaos.. everybody whacking each others boat.. siao la.. i settled for a lau sai start.. oh wells...
-------------------------------------------------
anyway.. sometimes i wonder.. whether i should continue sailing.. it seems like this candle is dying and i just keep trying to keep it going.. i really actually do like sailing still.. but i dunno.. like its just dying. no drive to perform.. only drive is so that it will help me go to the school i want to.. thats not how it should be.. i wish that passion was restored.. i pray that all the hours i have spent and that others have spent on me would not just go to waste.. its such a waste if i just quit.. sometimes i feel like just quiting everything and serving God full time.. but i dont know if its just because i dont like school and stuff or because i really really want to serve God... i dunno.. that just shows how little i know myself.. so strange right.. haiz..
nvmm... just trust God & see where he leads me.. its all going to be for the better.. see ya in heaven God.. (: cant wait.. but hope to pull along more ppl with me.. it just may be you !
