ok...today's training was not bad for me...coz i did k2 w sze...going at a hard pace...n balance was no sweat...but that was juz the gd part...throughout the training we kept seeing the korean students. that the senior team was supposed to help, rowing out of the bay...to around the 400m mark...we were like?!?!so we reminded the bay pple to keep an eye on them.went for another round...n guess what...we saw another lone t1 rowing outside AGAIN.So we thought the bay pple are really short-handed...so we decided to go in to help out.
>
But when we went in...i realized exactly WHY we were short-handed.
>
Becoz most of the helpers were just on their own...trying out crafts that they felt like...leaving but a few pple to save capsizes and teach strokes...
>
Yups.i was rather angry.actually i think i was more disappointed.coz there were some pple that i did not expect that would do such stuff for their own selfish desires.i really never expected to see them like that.i even regreted a little for comin back to help.
>
Is it because we are sort of graduated,that we go back to the selfish pple we once were?since nationals is over,should we just erase all our values like a clean slate and continue to work for our only own and no one else's goals?
>
If i were there,i cannot be 100% sure that i would not follow the rest n indulge in what i want.do you think i would not like to row the C?However,the feeling when i saw the rest playing a fool when i wanted to help,makes me realise what i never want to be.
>
yes,its fun to try other crafts.nationals is over,no need to be too uptight.But seriously,was that the time to be trying other crafts?when you were supposed to help others?
>
sorry if i sounded harsh or offensive...this is juz a scaled down version of how i felt at that time.but aft typing it out,i feel much beter alr.i think everyone alr noes their mistakes...so let's juz not repeat it again.thanx for lasting through this horrible entry.ill try not to write too much of such stuff in future.
