BUDIMAN OSMAN

Family is integral in my life. Whenever I return from overseas competitions, I would spend quality time with my two lovely kids. The park is where I most often bring them, so that they learn to respect and appreciate nature from young.

CHAN SHU KIAT SUKIT

I was getting bored with medical school and needed something to challenge me outside the realm of academia. I found rowing to fit the bill – as a strenuous exercise, it trains your body. As you all know, doctors need to do shifts in hospitals and this requires fitness too!

CHEN MINGXIANG

I like to relax at Starbucks because of my addiction to coffee. I like to go for a run after returning from overseas competition. Good time to exercise the legs, I guess. Ideal day implies chilling on the beach with my best mates.

EDNA ANG JIA HUI

To de–stress myself upon return from overseas competitions, I normally head for hawker centre food. A typical ideal day for me is to go for a movie, walk around with my friends and have dinner with my family.

ABOUT ME


JAVIER ONG JUN WEI

Contrary to most of my peers, I like to hang out at school because being around with friends makes me feel relaxed. Reflection is an inseparable part of an athlete’s life. Hence, I often take time to ponder over the lessons learnt from overseas competition.

ABOUT ME


JAYAKRISHNAN KUMARESAN

Every day is ideal. Flying in the wind tunnel and teaching people how to fly are what I love doing for now. Kim Keat Avenue, the place where I live for 29 years, is popular for its cheap food. It is also easily accessible to different parts of the island.

JOANNA CHAN LAI CHENG

Rowing is the only sport you feel good seeing your opponents in front of you – the reverse psychology is what attracts me to this sport! I live at Pandan Gardens since young. I made friends around the neighbourhood while participating in grassroots events. Training ground is a mere 10–minute drive away from home.

JOAN POH XUE HUA

I believe in making an impact. Hence it goes without saying that making a difference to myself or anyone around me is the priority in my ideal day! I like to consume sambal eggplant as it is both spicy and purple.

JOASH CHONG JING XIONG

My best friend has been a rower for many years, and his zest for the sports seems to rub off me. When I observe Singaporeans coming forward to support, it reminds me that I am not just doing this for myself. This keeps my feet on the ground and humbled.

ABOUT ME


JONATHAN CHUA SZE CHIANG

I was exploring a different water sport other than dragon boating. Rowing comes close to what I have been previously trained for. I let my hair down at Timbre @ the Substation because time seems to slow down in the midst of slow familiar music.

Moving fast in a boat, on water, is the best feeling ever. I never grow tired of eating Hokkien mee, at least not yet.

LEE ZONG HAN

The grace and power of rowing is somewhat mesmerising. I feel accomplished being able to control the racing boat. Fish ball noodles is my favourite food. It is cheap and good!

I like rowing simply because it is a sport I can excel in. I love to hang out at Orchard, because there are a lot of things to do with my friends like movies and food.

ABOUT ME


MATEUS ABECASSISNORTON DE MATOS

Inspired by my brother, I took up rowing. My interest in the sport has since been deeply entrenched. Support from Singaporeans really helps…it motivates me and the team to get the boat across the line as fast as we can.

ABOUT ME



NADZRIE HYCKELL HAMZAH

I like to juggle the delicate balance between mental and physical capabilities in rowing. I feel that this is what keeps me going in the sport. I live in Jurong for 21 years. Relationships have been forged, and now my neighbours are like brothers whom I can always count on.

ABOUT ME


NICHOLAS SIEW QI CHUEN

ABOUT MEI seem to develop an affinity with water sports. Armed with a canoeing background, I find that I can row the boat equally well, if not better, than a canoe. Being on the water keeps me calm and focused. When I am not competing, I rest by drinking tea and reading a good book.

ABOUT ME



PEK HONG KIAT

Racing against an unseen competitor is paradoxically, a very real experience as one is facing backwards. Hence it toughens both your mind and body at the same time. I love rojak! It is cheap and finding a rojak stall around the neighbourhood is easy.

ABOUT ME


PEK HONG KUN

Top of my favourite food list is roti prata, especially when it is filled with sugar and condensed milk. It is sinful, that is why I allow myself to eat only when I feel like I have worked hard at training.

SALVADOR ABECASSISNORTON DE MATOS

When it comes to sports, I am a chip off the old block. My father was a rower at Georgetown University and when he introduced it to me, I fell in love with it. The food I most often eat is nasi lemak – quintessential mix of carbohydrates, proteins and delicious sambal chilli!

When I am on the water, I temporarily forget about everything else. Rowing is a sport like no other. The hours, the sweat, and the pain –everything that comes with it – you get out of it as much as you put in!

SAIYIDAH AISYAH BTEMOHAMED RAFA’EE

I discovered my aptitude for rowing when I won my first race in 2005, with only one month of training. I am grateful to my endearing parents who have to contend with a daughter who is seldom at home. My coaches, Goken and AB, have also been ever helpful in guiding me along.

SYAHIR EZEKIEL RAFA’EE

I stick to a busy schedule, at school and on water. The word “leisure” rarely appears in my dictionary. My ideal day, of course, is to have nothing really to do at all! I usually have my meals at Clementi Mall, together with my fellow team mates. After eating, we head to Pandan Reservoirfor training.

TEO YEE NAM

To–do list on my ideal day includes a nice breakfast, a leisurely row in the morning followed by going to the hospital to see patients. By evening, I will go home for dinner, followed by a hot shower. Playing the piano before sleeping calms the soul.

ABOUT ME



WANG NAN FENG

Curiosity is my second nature. My love for rowing started because I wanted to learn something new. My support group comprises of my family, friends, and kayaking coaches. Eating with my family after a taxing period of overseas competition really soothes me.
