It was written in URBAN today that dragonboating is getting popular and the people who are into it has beautiful body and tan! Totally agree. Sometimes, I do miss the lean, mean me...not too much of the tan though.. I was almost burnt.
Last week, Dearie brought some old photos (taken during my dragonboating days) to show me - to show me how dark I was! I burst out laughing. That was quite a feat! But I don't think I ever want to be that dark anymore! I'm a little too vain now, overly concern that my foundation and make up will not match my skin tone if I get too tanned suddenly, that the sun is gonna dry up my skin or cause outbreak...
I don't think I enjoy being in the smelly and dirty Kallang River anymore. Or having to queue for a shower from the low-pressure tap, washing up the dirty clothes after training... But I do miss the feeling of competitive sport, trying to challenge my body & mind, the team spirit, the way sports takes away your toughts about everything else like studies and work while you are at it...
I've learnt lots from dragonboating - commitment, discipline, team-spirit...etc. One most important thing that I grasped from my "sporting days"- its always mind-over-body... and its the truth.
And I know I wouldn't be where I am and who I am without these little lessons ...
