Never give up, never give in!

Here's a song by Brian McKnight "Win", dedicated to all in the amazing & extraordinary FLUS team!


Dark is the night, I can weather the storm.
Never say die, I've been down this road before.
I'll never quit, I'll never lay down.
See, I've promised myself that I'd never let me down, so,

I'll never give up, never give in.
Never let a ray of doubt slip in.
And if I fall, I'll never faint,
I'll just get up and try again.
Never lose hope, never lose faith,
There's much too much at stake,
Upon myself I must depend.
I'm not looking for plays to show, I'm gonna win.

No stopping now, there's still a way to go.
Ohh, someway, somehow.
Whatever it takes, I know, I'll never quit, no, no.
I'll never go down.
I'll make sure they remember my name.
A hundred years from now.

I'll never give up, never give in.
Never let a ray of doubt slip in.
And if I fall, I'll never faint,
I'll just get up and try again.
Never lose hope, never lose faith,
There's much too much at stake,
Upon myself I must depend.
I'm not looking for plays to show, I'm gonna win.

When it's all said and done,
My once in a lifetime won't be back again.
Now is the time, to take a stand.
Here is my chance, that's why,

I'll never give up, never give in.
Never let a ray of doubt slip in.
And if I fall, I'll never faint,
I'll just get up and try again.
Never lose hope, never lose faith,
There's much too much at stake,
Upon myself I must depend.
I'm not looking for plays to show, I'm gonna win.

I'm gonna win.

One more week

Gee, it's one more week to Regatta. This means this Sunday is the last day we will have training. Hmm... 4 months went by so quickly. It seems just so recently we had our race in July. We've trained considerably harder than last time, and I believe we've improved since then. Of course, we can't afford to be complacent. If we can improve, the other competitors can too. So we can be certain it's going to be a tough challenge. But what's important is that we have to be able to beat ourselves. We have to be better than before, always improving forward. Our 4 months of training will be tested in less than 1.5 minutes. So we'll just have to give it our all, so that there'll be no regret.

Anyway, race always brings out the adrenaline and excitement, and it's no different with me this time. But amid those excitement, it's important to remember to keep calm enough to row together. After all, dragon boating is a team sport.

I like this quote taken from Uniquely Singapore postcard:
In the blazing sun, I saw twenty hearts beat as one

Rain version :P
In the pouring rain, twenty movements blur into one
