Today was the day of ups and downs. Things were so sudden. Mood swung real fast.Was waiting for the volleyball tournament to start but it rained real heavily and when it stopped, we thought we could get the games going but it was still drizzling and the siren thing at the stadium was on so had to wait there for so so long. But the wait was worth it. I saw a scene where i almost teared. The dragon boat team had their runs and the guys were at the pull-up bars beside the gallery stand of the stadium. Couldn't see what they were doing but guess they were doing pull-ups la. Haha. They were doing pull-ups(I assume) and after they completed it they went for push-ups. This cycle went on and on for about half an hour. Now I know why they are this build. Really didn't imagine it was this tough lor. I think it is worse than going through national service la. Probably can compare with the special operations forces la. Ya, and so. They were repeating this for countless times and towards the end there was a guy who cannot do anymore. He was really struggling till I really almost wanted to cry for him. He really couldn't make it anymore but there were 4-5 guys encouraging him and pushing him, supporting him when he was doing push-ups. I really saw the dragon boat team's spirit there. I really feel the bonding there and they were like a family. Really wanted to join dragon boat if not for my arm injury. I really the togetherness in them. Anyway, my team went through the knock outs and won but lost eventually when we met stronger teams. Really disappointed in myself. Missed service, didn't control the ball when I need to. Sorry. Humans are self-centred creatures. They always say good things to you but back out when the need arises. I think humans need to be revamped, including myself. I am not perfect too. Mean what you say! Say it only if you mean it!
