You can’t become a winner overnight, or even in a couple of years – it takes time. You will lose races and you will have to accept that, learn from it and believe that you’ll win the next one, knowing that you’ll probably lose that as well. All the time you have to keep believing that one day you will win

Many of us think that losing badly has to be the worst feeling in the world. How about losing, getting up, trying again, knowing full well you may just fall flat on your face yet again. And again.
As all Roadracers will know, besides the gift of stamina, many of us also have this astonishing ability to make statements that will shock/stun/mesmerise the daylights out of everybody. So this site will also attempt to record those wonderful “Quote of the Day”, “Statement of the Year” kind of thing.
So to start the ball rolling, here is a quote that took place on Sunday, 13 May 2007, at MacRitchie Reservoir Lower Carpark.
Scene: After run, the guys are waiting for the gals to cool down. It gets quite sunny. Then suddenly, Lu Feng realises that Jay is missing. Nobody knows where he went. Jay is spotted standing under the shade. Naturally everybody moves to the shade.
Lu Feng: Wah Jay, you so smart sia, move to the shade!
Jay: That’s because I still have all of my wisdom teeth.
(FYI, Lu Feng had all his wisdom teeth extracted recently.)
