and what struck me was the...
=) maybao-lilywong says: (2:26:12 AM)
"I will miss how each stroke feels rowing with teamNUS (a feeling I fear I will never get ever again)"
=) maybao-lilywong says: (2:26:23 AM)
i'm scared of going there too
=) maybao-lilywong says: (2:27:26 AM)
i havent been with my team THAT long, we dun train half as hard.... but i'm scared of the day i finally put down my paddle, or my team breaks up... or if i wake up on sat/sun morning and i realise i have no team to go to and i'll never feel the same way ever again with another team
=) maybao-lilywong says: (2:27:31 AM)

I miss rowing. says: (2:28:25 AM)
hey.. i feel that every team trains as hard when they train.. its just that we have more sessions.. so its going to be jsut as bad
=) maybao-lilywong says: (2:28:35 AM)
hahaha
=) maybao-lilywong says: (2:28:37 AM)
aiyah
=) maybao-lilywong says: (2:28:42 AM)
training will increase la
=) maybao-lilywong says: (2:28:49 AM)

so meanwhile.. cherish every stroke.. not just every set with the team
