As promised to you guys, here I have my last entry for the year of 2004. Shall kick start with events in January, then in chronological order...

January to May 2004
Seriously, all I can remember is that I was still working at the Singapore National Eye Centre... Great people I have met. Andy, Swee Kiang, Michelle, Mardinah, Mardiah, Uncle, Eileen and of course Auntie Diana! We were all part of the Medical Records Office, where we handled stuff on patients' medical records. Still remembered the times we lunched together and did our overtime, not to mention the times when I cocked up... =X Loved the environment there because the place was filled with WOMEN! LOL! Nah too old for me... No young chicks available there, only old ones... OOPS. There were the few exceptionals though... SNEC, a place I would surely remember and visit occasionally... HOPE TO SEE MORE BABES THERE IN FUTURE! =D

February 2004
YES YES YES! MY BIRTHDAY! But then, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED AS WELL! ARGH! All I know is that I turned 17... -_-"

March 2004
GCE 'O' Level results were released. Went back to school in my pink polo tee and jeans plus spiked hair. Man, was I the centre of attraction or what! Hahahahaha! Got a miserable 14 points for my L1R5 but what the heck, it was all I needed to enter Business Studies in Ngee Ann Polytechnic...

April to June 2004
Gonna combined these months together because I can't seem to have much to say about the happenings... Quit my job at SNEC in May. Total earnings = $5999.00? I think so... Hahahaha... Can't really remember... Oh yah, a sad thing happened as well. Broke up with my girlfriend in June... 9 months together and it had to end sadly. Never mind, life goes on yeah? There's still Ngee Ann Polytechnic what... =X I remembered an incident as well... My friend Zhi Yuan and I went cycling to Ngee Ann Polytechnic for our own orientation and happened to slack about the Sports Complex. That is where we saw the Dragonboat people doing their warm ups and push ups... MAN DID THEY LOOK erm... HOT? Lol. Saw only the guys I think... Perhaps preparing for the June Race. All the physical stuff they did surely made me wanna join that CCA as well... That mainly summed up these 3 months...

June to July 2004
A new phase in life has started. Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Had my orientation camp in school... Quite alright I must say. Glady Glady all the way! LOL. Got my books and stuff and met my new classmates. Cool. Met the lecturers and tutors as well... And if I'm not wrong I joined Dragonboat as well! Thanks to Tian Yin for pulling me in and then quitting halfway... -_-" Got on well with life at the start, till I learnt about skipping lectures...

August to December 2004
Shall try to summarise all the happenings in this 5 months. Got to know more of the Dragonboaters as well, mostly the juniors... Odel seemed to be the first person I talked to most. Other than her name being uniquely unique ( -_-" ), she has quite some character as well... Erm ok I shall stop ranting on about her... =P I remembered suffering in the first few trainings, not being able to do push ups, can't catch up during the campus runs and also the pull ups too! But as time went by, I managed to improve! Most commentable was my 2.4km run which improved from 12:22 to 10:21! WOOHOO! =D

Other than that, it was basically training and gymming and training and gymming. Was fortunate to have met my gym kakis, Owen, Shun De and Wai Leong. Loved to be in their company in the gym because they would push each of us on and thus we were improving day by day. Even now we still gym together~ WE WILL DO OUR BEST FOR NPDB!

The most unforgettable event for this year-end has to be Singapore River Regatta 2004. It has been a memorable experience where NPDB has faced many setbacks. However, what has happened has happened. At least we managed to salvage 2 bronze plates for ourselves! =D May we do better in the future! I'M SURE WE WILL! One more thing Ryan said which rang in my mind, "Forgive but never forget...". This will remain in me till the end of my Dragonboating life.

Penang was yet another time for NPDB to rejoice and recuperate from the loss at Regatta. We managed to earn back 1 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronzes! WOOHOO! Was so glad to actually see ourselves win that many medals! May we prosper further in future events like SAVA and JUNE RACE!

End.

What has been written above has been a brief summary of what has happened in 2004. I know I have left out quite some bit but it doesn't matter. Let bygones be bygones and let us welcome the new year. Been looking forward to 2005 because that means I will be 18 and muahahaha... May everyone continue to have a great year ahead and may NPDB ROCK THE DRAGONBOAT WORLD IN 2005! TILL 2005, JINZAOTEH! =D

Peace ouT 2004.
