Club Crew World Championships 2010, Macau
went up to Macau for the 7th CCWC, where the strongest dragon boat clubs meet up and compete with each other for the title of World Champions.
SAFSA participated in the U23 category, facing 3 teams from Canada and 1 team each from Macau and Hong Kong. these opponents, though unheard of in Singapore, were no push overs as they tried time and time again to beat SAFSA. successfully, we managed to secure not only podium standings for all events, which are 2000m, 200m and 500m, but 1st placing for everything.
i'm proud to have paddled for SAFSA in the 200m and 500m races. it was an honour to be with such a strong team with such dedicated and passionate paddlers.
the end of CCWC marks my first 2 Golds with SAFSA.

SDBF 2010
my very first race for SAFSA. high expectations, rather high confidence.
our greatest nemesis were Mountbatten. we knew it would be a tough fight. but we thought we could retain the title. despite the effort, desire, we failed to secure a Gold, and had to settle for Silver.
are we really lesser than them? does having that many Nteam paddlers make a difference? why is it a club team overseas beat intimidating, results producing national teams then? we were good, but they were better.
this feeling sucks. i'll remember it, take it, and shove it up my next opponent's ass.
I will not settle for a Silver. the next SDBF, WATCH OUT.
