yes, persevere!

whenever i tell my friends about the CCA i am in in poly
* which is dragonboat :) *

everyone will go, " SIAO EH! "

yes, for once, i thought i was insane to have joined a sport that is is so much of a committment and challenage because of the tough physical training
*well, at least for me, someone who left all my athletic genes in my mummy's womb when i was born*
and risk getting 'toasted' and having muscular and unfeminine arms at the end of the day.

i joined dragonboat for fun in the first place.
because i want to try something different.
( that's the reason why i gave up rock climbing!! sad! )

after several training, i wanted to stay because i want to try and prove myself wrong that i can run, do proper sit up, push up if i persevere, try and practice.
*sports is so not my cake of tea, for goodness sake i suck at sports*

its not easy when people there are athletics, able-built and grouchy.
because some of them gossips and laugh at you if you are 'weak'
WHATEVER.

but i realised, why bother about how other people think about you?

i have only myself to overcome.
and i run not for them,
but for my own sake.

perhaps this is something i am weak in.
but at least i bother to try
((:
and im still trying ((:

i make myself run at least twice week,
climb the stairs if im not rushing for time,
walk instead of taking the bus,
learn to manage my time between 3 cca,family, friends and school work
and many more.

and now i enjoyed rowing!!

its mind over body
((:

so, JIAYOU bah!!

Dear Shereen,

The perseverance and discipline that you are training yourself in right now, is going to grow you not just in dragonboat rowing, but in many areas of your life.

If you read 'The Dream Giver' which i gave you, there are always people who try to discourage us when we push towards our dreams. Choose to follow the voice of THE DreamGiver beyond all other voices.

I am proud of you, and rooting for you! =) May 'the Lord's power be made perfect in your weaknesses! For when we are weak, then we are strong' (2 Corinthians 12:9a, 10b)!

Jia you k!

luv,
mirabel
