Yes.. today was one of the most embarassing days of my life. Well... I was both a hero and felt embarassed at the same time. Today JIS held their annual Swimming Gala at the stadium. I represented Red house for 25m breaststroke. Well.. at least thats what I intended to join. I came in last but scored points for Red house. Then at the last minute they needed another yr 12/13 girl to do 25m freestyle for relay, if not red house would have to be disqualified. I'm not very good at freestyle. So like after everyone cheering for me to go down there... I reluctantly dragged myself to swim. I knew we would get last place and they wouldnt listen they said that as long as participate its good enough.

And eventually we got last place.. But overall Red house got second place! YAY! What really made my day was when I, sad heartened walked all the way back to the stands was greeted by Mr Airdrie all smiles and the shook my hands and said "Rachel, well done! You're my hero!" I beamed and thanked him. =)

So what I learnt today is that winning is not all that matters. Participation really counts. Go Red Foxes!

btw... the Valentine's Social @ Empire yesterday was great. Fun and packed.. haha..
