Why do you love to row?

 

It's the feeling I get when the boat glides on water, when the boat moves fast not by the help of current or wind, but with my own pair of arms and legs, hearing that crisp sound of a splash when the blade enters the water, watching the sunrise from my boat every morning, the burning of the lungs and the legs, that feeling of achievement, freedom and immense satisfaction, knowing that the little things you do every day add up to make me faster, stronger and better.

 

What drives you to do this every single day at 5am?

 

Seeing myself rowing at the Olympics.

 

Why is the Olympics so important to me?

 

It is where every elite athlete aims to be, where the best of the bests around the world come together and compete on a fair and equal ground. Where dreams are made, and where dreams come true.

 

By qualifying for the Olympics, I want to prove to myself that if I put my heart and soul into something, I can achieve anything despite any obstacles that I face along the way. By that I hope to inspire the world to do the same- believe, work hard and achieve.

 

I want to show the world what a true blue Singaporean is made of- grit and strength, perseverance and heaps of determination. I would also want to show those who don't believe in me what I'm capable of. 

 

So, how do I get there?

 

To qualify for the Rio Olympics in 2016, there will be a qualification regatta for the Asian and Oceanic nations in April 2016. The top 7 rowers for the Women's Single Scull qualifies for the Olympics.

 

I know that the journey to the Olympics will be a challenging and ardous one. Therefore, I am not able to make it there on my own. I need my pillars of strength. I need your support.

 

I welcome any generous individual, groups or organizations who believe in the beauty of dreams, who believe in me, and who believe that sports can change lives and make the world a better place. 

 

For sponsorship or any other enquries, I can be reached by filling up the form at the Contact page. 

 

Even if you would like to drop me a word of encouragement or two, I'd love to hear from you. It is the small things in life that adds up to become great things.

 

Help me make my dreams a reality.
