Back from Penang, and I can really say it was a very fruitful trip.

Meeting the rest of the teammate at 9pm on last Friday at school. Captain forgot the time, and luckily he managed to make it just in time to board the bus. When we were in our first bus, all of us were very excited about the trip already. Later part when we reach the custom, we board the other bus which is 26-seater, from the custom. The coach is really consider comfortable, rather spacious. we started off out journey from the second coach at around 10pm. The lighting of the coach was dim, and we sleep our way till the first rest point where we had our supper.Subsequently, we only had toilet break in between. Sleeping at the bus is quite hard, though it is consider comfortable.Finally, we reach our hotel, Copthorne Orchid, at about 8 plus in the morning. When we reach there, saw many teams from singapore were already there. We waited at the lobby while waiting to check in. As rooms are not available yet, we were only given 2 rooms to be shared among 26 of us.

At half past 12, we were all ready for the first day of our mission. Our first heats was mens' open. We managed to get 1st and get into semi-finals. As for mens' junior, we got 2nd and was ORIGINALLY get into finals since there is not semi-finals.

The next day, due to unforeseen circumstances, we were to go for rapid charge race. Fill with some unsatisfaction, all the guys row their hearts out and we got back our place to finals. As for the results of mens' juniors and mens' open, we got 4th and 1st respectively.

These 2 days of races were very happening. We did experienced something from it.

As day 2 of the trip was Irvin's birthday, we 'celebrated' his day there.hahaha...and we know that he had reveiced his best present, which is the gold cookie. Overall, the trip was memorable.

A dragon boat team worth remembering, Team Hak.
