This was a really challenging race where the original race distance was changed from 200m to 350m on last minute notice. We found out on the day itself, along with perhaps a few other teams. However, we managed to do better than we expected. We went into Grand, Minor and 2 Plate Finals. The results are shown below.

It was indeed an exciting and meaningful day for team PAWV and we got to chat with old friends again. We look forward to Singapore River Regatta 2011 in November.

It was indeed one of the most memorable and amazing race Team PAWV has ever been through. First time in Team PAWV Dragon Boat history that we won 3 Plates, 3rd position in all 3 categories we participated in - 22 crew National Championship (Men), 22 crew Open (mix), 12 crew Inter-business, clubs and housesa and clocked the best timings so far.

We also celebrated the June and July babies by buying Birthday Muffins at the race. Happy Birthday to Jasmine and Kai Yong! It was a nice time when the rain came in and we managed to take a break to make merry! It was a fantastic time to celebrate our winnings and re-energize us for our last race - 22 crew National Championship Men Plate final. ^^ We had almond, chocolate chip and banana walnut muffins!

This year PA Paddle Championship is on 16th and 17th April 2011! After a lot of training, sweat, blood and tears; it has finally arrived. We were especially excited due to the unexpected outcomes and also the strong competition that we will be facing.

Nevertheless, we never feared what we don't have but embraced what we do. The results were indeed surprisingly unexpected as well. We performed so much better, in fact it is the BEST PA has ever achieved to date. 

It was so important that this race served as a platform of what the team is capable of and what we will be able to achieve in the races to come this year. Together with one voice, one heart and one soul; We will shout out loud "BRING IT ON!" With the right attitude, passion and love. YES WE CAN DO IT! ^^ 

At the same time with such great results and success on the first day, we celebrated our APRIL BABIES!!! MENG AND WEI JIE =) May you be blessed with all the love and good health.

Thank you SUPPORT PARTY who came down to support us. Your presence was greatly appreciated and made a difference to the team. WE LOVE YOU!

Yes we came in third! Our ten men did very well at the race and we are looking forward to the upcoming PA Paddle Championships. Good job Team PAWV!  Continue to strive! Special thanks to Hongxuan, Edwin and Joseph who came to support us and the 12 crew - Sam Teo, Weijie, Zehao, Vincent, Naz, Wenjie, Imelda, Jamsine, Zane, Ray rin, Wilson Wan and Wayne.

TeamPAWV celebrates Chinese New Year by Lo Hei today, 29 January. Lo Hei also known as Yusheng is often served as part of a multi-dish dinner, usually as the appetizer due to its symbolism of "good luck" for the new year. TeamPAWV like to take this opportunity to wish everyone Happy Chinese New Year!

No training from 30 January 2011 to 6 February 2011. 

It's that time of the year again. A season of love, sharing and reconciliation - its Christmas! A time of great celebration with delicious food, fun-filled games and great company. We celebrate the successful year we had and also the great year ahead.

We recognize the efforts of our rowers and everyone who have contributed positively to the team. We also appreciate the love ones of our rowers, may they be siblings, parents, partners or friends. As a family and team, we invite all to enjoy this time with laughter and joy. Check out our Christmas pictures!

Every weekend, we train at Kallang Water-Venture Club. This place has become a home to us. A place where we gather to train, laugh, cry and have fun. A place where strangers become friends and friends to brothers and sisters. We care for one another's well-being, families, studies, work, etc. We share all these life changing moments here in Kallang. It is peaceful, scenic and contemplative.

One could easily be drawn to its mysterious greenery, beauty and serene charm. It has a calming effect until ruined by loud cheers from the team. This place has survived the test of time and it has not changed a bit. Yes, the running tracks are renovated, more pavilions and pontoons are built, increased crowds, etc. But the feeling is always the same. It is where TeamPAWV calls Home.

Though our orientation is over, anyone who is interested in dragon boat can still head down to Kallang water-venture to join us! Details can be found under Training information. Or you can wait for next recruitment drive in January 2011, details will be up very soon. In the mean time, enjoy the few pictures below on December's orientation. <: Stay Tune!

It's the end of the year and this year's Theme is 'A Sporty Affair'! PA cordially invites all Water-Venture Trainers for a night of delicious dinner, fun-filled activities and great company to recognize and appreciate their efforts.

Water-Venture participants have increased two -fold since 2008 from estimated 25,000 to 52,000 participants.  There was also an increase in the participation trend from the grassroots community. It was an outstanding achievement this year with great success.

TeamPAWV committee members were invited to join in this wonderful night of celebration. It truly showed us how united is the Water-Venture organization as a family; similar to what our team is like. We have eight (8) different outlets island-wide and everyone had a lot of fun together as one big family! ;)

TeamPAWV would like to thank everyone who attended the orientation programme making it a really great and memorable day for us all. We would also like to thank the organizing committee, Ze Hao and Wayne for the fun filled games and activities leaving the airs of Kallang Water-Venture Club with a lot of laughter.
