River Regatta 2007
Finally, the River Regatta was over.
It was an exciting and tiring weekend. But the results was something we can be proud of as a team.
Although we fell short of the goal of getting into finals, we still have a lot to celebrate.
We had one team getting into the semi finals. In terms of timing, we have shown great improvement. The mixed race combined with the TP alumni girls was the highlight. It was not just that we performed beyond our expectations in that race, but rather, it gave everyone in the boat a taste of what we are really capable of achieving, and what a race run should really be like.
Looking in retrospective at where we were at the beginning of the year and how badly we performed in the June race, we have come a long way. And we have seen the results of the hard work everyone put in this the second half of this year.
Nonetheless, we still made some mistakes in the race. Screwed up a couple of things. We shall learn from there and get better.
There is still a lot of room for improvement. However, we shall celebrate what we have achieved so far. Next year, we will aim higher!

Getting Ready
Ready for the day
Armed with paddles and new tees we don
Off to the bridge after a quick launch
Waiting for the sound of the horn
We so excited and ready to 'cheong'
Months of training we spent so long
This is the time to prove them wrong
Every stroke we row is swift and strong
Never give up, we push on and on
A race can turn us shagged and forlorn
We must stay calm, stick to the norm
Friends and supporters cheered us along
We synchronise our strokes like a song
Whatever fears we have, let them be gone
Whatever drive and power, bring it on
The last bit can leave us breathless and conked
Crossed that line, the hero in us is born
Here's another song I like very much, "Together we are one" by Delta Goodrem
