so now we are at the topic on whether life is fair. was on my way home with andrew and then we suddenly came across this topic. andrew actually said that it is. coz if u put in effort den u ll definitely succeed in achieving ur goals that u have set for yourself. however i beg to differ. i feel life is rather unfair.putting in effort doesnt mean u ll definitely succeed. for example, if u have a passion for something but lack the talent, will you actually succeed even if u put in the effort? well maybe to a certain extent. like for me, i really do have a passion for canoeing, and i do feel i put in alot of effort for it, yet i didnt achieve the goals i set for myself. yet some pple can just achieve them with the minimum effort. pls do not be mistaken. im not trying to say that if u dun have the talent in a certain area, u should just stop trying. its juz that perhaps u have to try like 4 times harder than those who have. get wat i mean? or maybe u wun even be as good as them. therefore i conclude the talent does play a part and not everyone has that. thus life is unfair. period. no wonder yong detests the 'talented' canoeists back in my njcanoeing days.
boy i suddenly miss those days. i miss rowing in my yellow k2, the heaviest amongst the rest of the k2s. the one with the most bandages. i miss doing the take offs - 5-10 at macritchie reservoir. i miss how our k2 boat glide thru the calm water after the take offs. i miss the adrenaline rush when we did the 20 hard 10 easy sets. i miss the way we did our last charge during our 500m sets as if it was the last. i miss those days when i couldnt stand your super duper slow cycle and how tough it was to coordinate with u coz i was always a split second faster than u. i miss doing imagery on land with u. i miss rowing behind u. i miss u VAN!! and how we made our last race a memorable one. not only for us but also for sm and debbie as well. how we screamed "GO NJ!!!!!" during our race. oh man i dunno how we did it but yar. =)
ok i noe its kinda random but yar. i really love being random. =)
marketing presentation today was relatively alright. well not bad for me since i was super duper tired and i didnt prepare my script. everything was a ok until the Q and A section.
krystle: so what if your chef decides to quit one day(well we only intend to hire one chef)? does that mean u cannot continue your business?
sze may: well we do have some hidden talent among us. like leepeng. she can actually make nice desserts and if our chef really leaves, she can be our dessert chef for the time being ( i think her ans was sth like that.)
me: ( i swear i could feel that my eyeballs almost dropped out when she said that) *nod head and smile sheepishly to the audience and the tutor* (well i cant possibly say no right?)
