Well it's about the last time id get to say that, since my gym participation is pretty much officially over once past the nationals this week, concluding with the prize presentation on Friday. It's a kind of mixed feelings reaching the end of it all - of regret, disappointment and a slight tinge of joy (freedom?) with the knowledge that it's finally all over. Regret, because I frankly haven't been putting much effort and time into gym since sec 2. Disappointment, because I could have achieved so much more for myself and the team but just couldn't get past the emotional barrier. Joy, because I can finally put this behind me once and for all. Looking back, i really can't understand what lead to that emotional breakdown of sorts (not really as serious as it sounds, but bad enough) nearing the competition in sec 2. I guess i was just too fearful, too immature back then to handle the pressure and stress. Thankfully we still pulled out of it with team champs, kudos to the rest of the 2006 'C' div team who made it possible. Now, im grown more mature and stronger than back then, but still as innocent as ever. ^^ Still, no regrets joining gym. I've met a bunch of really nice people, a few people who i would wish not to associate myself with in future, some awesome coaches, ONE very fked up coach who fked up the sec 2 me but still gets us the results anyway, and pretty friendly juniors who thankfully don't AP and don't give too much trouble. (Other than their constant niaoing of my height that is. <_<) We'll get to see some really awesome routines tmr for the last gym finals ill officially attend as part of the Hwachong Gym Team. And after that will be the ultimate mass-overnight-fun-slacking-session which is the gym camp (once again my last) before the coaches take over training the sec 1s and i (most probably) bid farewell to gym and the juniors good luck under the coaches - they'll need it, heh. I'm still contemplating whether to go back to gym even though i won't have much to do anymore without the juniors under my care, but the shame does weigh down rather heavily. Thank you gym for giving me a great bunch of friends (i get to listen to the prep/crap talk of Minister Shanmugaratnam's son in trainings!), a little more maturity, definitely more muscles (:D), and a shiny team champions trophy in my cabinet which will remind me of my experiences for years to come. And last of all, I'm sorry. Lean mean flippin' machine - What The Tuck! |
