WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!
Excellent job today people!!
Let's see we had loads of 500m events today. A total of 24 I think. HAHA
Not in order, entering the hall of fame we have:
Eryanah, Hana, Keren, Persis- K4- SECOND
Waichong, Shahril, Gordon, Timothy - K4- THIRD
Waichong- K1- THIRD- semis
Benjamin, Joon- K2- FIRST
Saravind, Kheng Hao- K2- SECOND
Kai Kin, Jamil- T2- THIRD- semis
Vincent, Jarret- T2- THIRD- semis
Jeyna- T1- THIRD- semis
Lava- K1- SECOND- semis
Kelin, Felicia- K2- FIRST
Amira- K1- FIRST
Amira- T1- SECOND- semis
Yu Chen- T1- SECOND- semis
LOOK at the number of boats entering the semis or even FINALS!!
To those who didn't make it, DON'T GIVE UP. There's next year!!
Important stuff: Help each other carry boats etc. Don't leave your teammates in the lurch!!
The cheering was good!! But I'm sure we can go EVEN LOUDER!!
Let's be there for each other always- as a team.
ONWARD

gosh, i'm so free.. i'm like posting everyday, haha. anyway, once again:
THE CANOEISTS HAVE PAWNED AND OWNED!
really good job everyone! another 14 boats out of 24 boats qualified today for the next round of competition! that's seriously amazing! that's erm.. *counts* 58.3% the boats! (yes, i used a calculator-.-)which is seriously WICKED! now we have so many supporters, it's amazing! including recognition from other schools! as ms lim has said today-many schools have started to realise our presence in the inter-school nationals! i heard from our ex-senior, yuanzhen too, that many schools said that "gess this year very fast" and stuff like that. it's really very good recognition! so keep up the good work everyone! finally, after so long, gess will show to the other schools what we're made of!
in addition, as you all have heard, HCI only has TWO boats in the finals (for b'boys), while we have THREE! which are our aces! (benjamin, benjamin and joonguan, and the K4 crew!) so medals are guarrennteddd! this year an overall medal is ours! time to kick HCI outta the league! since we already have such a good chance, let's all work harder and make it a double-win:
kick BPHG out of the league as well and overtake them as the OVERALL THIRD CHAMPION! i really believe the guys can do it this time, our team is really a lot stronger now and i suppose the results from the heats can prove that!never before has gess had so many boats qualifed for the semi and finals! i really forsee gess having a great time at the prize presentation where there'd be a whooping amount of medalists!
and for those who didn't manage to get past today-don't give up alright! the team now is stronger than ever, however, if we keep this spirit up, next year you'd all come back AND SWEEP CLEAN THE EVENTS! since you didn't make it this year, train harder and doubly harder(and maybe harder again) for next year so you'd come and show everyone what you're made of! THEN, you'll have this real sense of achievement and accomplishment(:
for those who don't have a chance to compete again as part of the gess team, don't give up hope! there's always junior college(urgh,dunno how spell again) and polytechic! (erm.. ..) moreover, as coach said- the fighting spirit was extremely good and we've surpassed our own barriers and limits! we've gone the fastest we have ever gone and that is what really matters! we've all tried our best and put in our all, and RACED WITHOUT REGRETS! that's what really counts! so don't EVER be discouraged!
as for tommorrow, everyone work hard to all get into the finals! the ace schools like SJI and ACSI are ALREADY in the finals! (lol) so we shouldn't lose to the other boats in the semi-finals! let's all work hard and achieve a 22-boat crew in the finals! that'll really make history! everyone, push yourself hard tommorrow! it's just as crucial as any other day! finish it to the end and push yourself to the limits! never give up at nearing the finish line nor give up first place to take second!
IT'S ALL OR NOTHING!
we can do it gess canoeists! let's show everyone at mac ritchie, as well as everyone in school that we're a force to be reckoned with!
GESS CANOEISTS WHOOOOOOOOOSH! (pants)
