suddenly all the memory came back

normally i dont read The Star anymore due to what reason i know every Malaysian know. but today one of my oldest friend ping me and said one of the dragon boat capsized. 4 student missing 1 just found dead and their advisor / teacher also found dead.

News link

suddenly all the memory of the pass came back. for those who don't know, i m one of the dragons in dragon boat race also. back in my skool days. we won 2nd and 3rd in my two years joining the game.

but most of you who are still in the game. i know they always told you the game is safe. the boat never sink. the boat will never capsized. but things do happen. it happen to me also and i m lucky to be still alive.

after reading the news my old memory came back. how it happen in the news is totally the same how it happen to us. But we all manage to stay alive. some able to swim they will swim back some don't will just hang on to the boat.

me? i was floating halfway, somewhere in the middle of the sea trying to stay alive. still remember how it felt like to get stink my jelly fish. not just one but 5 to 6 of them one at a time. lucky my body didnt cram. i only cram when i m off the water.

all thanks to the fisherman who pass by that day. thanks uncle!

so, for those who is still rowing. stay safe. wear your life jacket, although you know how to swim. never know when you might need it. and a piece of advice Never turn your back against the sea.
