2 weeks to SEA GAMES

So in case you haven't heard, its 2 weeks to the SEA Games. How scary is that?
That means its 2 weeks more of Sydney. 2 weeks more of beautiful beaches at my doorstep.
its down to the last 2 weeks to do whatever I need to do to improve on my rowing. to be faster stronger and most importantly, lighter. I have been having problems with my weight, I must admit. and the chilly weather here is not helping at all. but I am confident I am able to lose weight on time.
so, its really scary how 9 weeks have passed in a blink of an eye. how much ive been through it all. the broken nose. the fractured orbital floor. the torn retina which had to be lasered up and I was frikkin wide awake. the thousands of dollars having to spend on the medical fees. the sore back. spending almost a thousand bucks on physio and massage, which taught me an important lesson never to take for granted what ssc has provided me with all these services for free. the scary but thankfully short rib injury which is feeling so much better now. being off water for a week. and getting back in faster, stronger and more determined than ever. I think everything happens for a reason and I am grateful for whatever that had happened, even if it did put me out of the boat, it made me realise how badly I wanted to row. now that im back, and its down to the last 2 weeks, I must make full use of it. every single training counts. every single thing that I eat makes a difference. everything that I do will determine if I get that gold medal or not. and hell, I want it so bad, so fkn bad. I will do anything to get my hands on it. anything legal, of course. I think doping is just for losers who call themselves athletes and tarnish the name of sports.
but yeah, I want that gold medal so bad.
2 weeks to sea games.
3 weeks to my gold medal.
LETS DO THIS.

So, I'm kinda tired of explaining this visa thing over and over again. I know people are interested to know what's going on with my ...
