Weeks ago… because of DSLR,
All about Winson. hahaha. =p My virgin flight lor. hahaha. =x a pity it was drizzling.
As I remembered saying, I was scanning through the marathon route. this is it. haha.
From upper end of the water in this pic all the way to barrage is such a big round lah, and I’m wondering how many rounds im going about? lol.
I’ve forgotten the mode to take the light of the cars into ‘straight lights’
Performance of Aftersix! :D
Super cool and nice Acapella. is that how you spell it? i think i’ve got it wrong. whatever. anyway, the background music are all from their vocal! cool ttm. :D
I find the centre one resemble Mr Jonathan. LOL!
Yes, I wrote and drew on the well wishes ball. hahaha. But, mostly are crappy stuffs. =p
I woke up at shock to see the time 8.30am when training starts at 8.30am. ): chiong and cabbed down to LSR. )): wasted money again early in the morning. argh. took raptor today and went big rounds. tsk, i need stronger endurance. okay,maybe i’m weaker than what I expected. ))): I need more water trainings to get myself condition better on water. I must stop all the stoppings!
Shared cab to RP for catered team lunch, basketball/soccer and announcement of new appointment holders! this year got like 17 positions lor. Knew will kena something. I’m appointed as Treasurer aka head of finance department for next year. ):
Totally sian diao. got to do reports all that and i hate handling money stuffs.thought that maybe it may be easier because there are capsize fund IC, Bus IC, etc. aiya, in the end i’ll still have to consolidate everything one lor. I was still hoping to be a free-loader, nothing but paddling. But I think I should thank God that I’m not the secretary, if not I can die. I’m busy enough. lol. anyway, chansumei ho sei liao. All the best future captain! hahahahaha. =p
Don’t stop!

Merry Christmas. (:
Guixin, is this kind of stuffs are also one of your course future job’s scope? hahaha.
Yes, That’s all for that in case of YOU! hahahaha. :S
Okay, I can’t help but to post this when I came across this just now! hahahaha.
It’s so funny seeing how they capsize, or rather how they try a K1 boat with a person holding the boat and push them out and let them cap, instead of like how we do, which is to let the person learn to tap water first by holding like the bow and slowly let go instead of just push them out. hahahaha.
Such a painful experience for them because they will be capping very fast and so many times for them to master it. it’s like a few strokes, without even having the chance to tap water and they cap. haha. does it really help to train their balance in this way, i wonder. lol. =x
But I’m so envy that they got such a clear water place! seem so nice lor. not like LSR. yucks. thankful that we don’t get attack by monitor lizards or snakes. haha.
Honestly, I didn’t know we took quite a few pics. hahaha.
Probably the only clearer photo taken by chansumei, noob. haha.
I’m so happy that despite the really heavy wind with crashing waves(and drizzle), I didn’t capsize today while doing my rounds! :D but it was really tough paddling in that harsh condition. hopefully on marathon that day itself the weather will be good. oh well, too windy may not be a good thing actually. haha. =x
This!
Kind of have summarised about what I’m into. My coming up race is marathon type, so I’m trying to prepare myself mentally roughly how it will be like, how people chiong and thinking about the start with many people = all the wash from many boats. :/ and how did the people run so fast with their boats during portages?! lol.
Some lousy photos at the ulu resort. hahahah.
Okay lah, so epic failure. I just don’t have the ‘emperor face’ even sitting on such classy chairs. hahaha.
My only present cell group’s mate left. where have the other 2 gone to? (: err, anyway pardon the lousy cameraman’s shaky hands, chansumei.
Probably the only nice pic. (: (of course, not from chansumei. =p )
I had a very full meal at Popeye just now before I went to settle my Christmas’s gifts with my sis and michell earlier on after I ended my tuition! felt so eew after the meal. hahaha. =x
Okay lah, my ‘MLIA’ day for today. >_<
Times Of Refreshing.
Silence
Silence soothes, heals the fevered nerves, balms hurt feelings. The comfort and calm, the serenity and repose, the tranquillity and peace that silence offers is a vitalizing tonic the human spirit needs. – George Kaitholil
So the past 3 days I went into this really ulu resort which I doubt many know that place in Singapore for a Silent Retreat which I think it’s really good to stop at some point and retreat from everything to reflect/review before moving on. First time in my life experiencing what a real silent retreat is like. It was a good time of reflections and quiet time with God without all the unnecessary ‘noises’.
So, after going through the process, it’s time for Re-enter. Re-entering back and move on with this hectic life; recharged, revitalised. To be honest, I feel a bit off when I returned home and even going out for dinner with my sis and her friends after they settled their stuffs at our house. It’s such an irony that sometimes you feel like bursting out of the overly silence during the retreat, but yet the aftermath now is that I’m kind of don’t feel so comfortable talking, but I have to. Okay, i guess it will be over in one or two days time.
“Remain in Me and I will remain in you”
Today was a really long day to begin with. Morning, Gym in school till like 12 plus and we have the whole time till 5pm for the guys water training. went for L4D2 after lunch to kill time. haha. my second time. =x
I think today’s training was pretty productive, just that I still don’t really feel good with my strokes. ): coach says now is the crucial period where you get your strokes in K boat. Once we get whatever we have, it will be there and normally hard to change if it’s wrong. It would be a habit i guess. arg, I hope I don’t get a wrong head start.
Apart from all these, I’m settling down now to remove all the busy schedules and troubles for the retreat camp tomorrow!
It’s time to step out from this fast paced world/life to stop down and reflect, to be ready for a new start.
I will be out of contact from tomorrow till Sunday!
Bye to school and many warm hellos to hols!! (:
My last day of school for 2009 ended with web & new media comm as last module and this last team, every thing last for school in 2009. haha.
GLIDE BOAT GLIDE!
One more month, just one more month to the marathon and I’m still struggling hard to get that balance on a foreign K1 boat to do with the pause and let it glide. ): so many strokes are like wasted strokes. I feel so envy when i see how easily the seniors’ boat glide with just one strokes. aww. gonna get those strokes right.
And I’m still hoping to better condition my body in the boat and water for the long period of time. the feeling is so tiring and thirsty (gotta buy a water bag), especially in the hot sun and big waves or choppy water.
I’ve had my virgin ride on the Flyers like finally yesterday and I was glancing at the long stretch of route I’ve to paddle, trying to stimulate or vision myself paddling there. it’s really like ~~~ *faints*. Not to mention about First, Second, Third placing, I’ll be glad if I survived the 14km with 2 100 or 150m portages. Or it would be an achievement if I don’t capsize AT ALL throughout the whole 14km. haha.
I’ve always think that winning a marathon is like so impossible, just imagine beside you, there’s always people, like you’ll never be in the front. so many people always.
Okay, I’m still hoping canoe marathon is different from running marathon. maybe it’ll be easier to be at the front few. so deluding. haha! =x especially when I’m stopping like 2 or 3 times within every 800m. ):
Oh well, continue dreaming because I’m gonna get to sleep now. hahaha.
Okay, thanks to the insight of some birdie “siaaaaaaal” I went to google about thonsil and found out this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonsillitis
I think that’s the reason of my sore throat. It’s what I’m experiencing, but thank God mine was not so disgusting as the pic in the webpage.
So maybe, it might be this,
http://www.tonsil-stones-cure.com/pictures-of-tonsil-stones
which is closer to the one that I’m having. it’s like a pimple on the tonsil. that size.
So gonna see a doctor.
Oh, this has no link but, my student have actually learnt to roll his eyes! how irritating. well, I don’t know whether he know the meaning of it or not, or he’s just rolling it for the sake of fun. *insert my own roll eyes here*. hahaha. –.-
Camp’s fire burning now~
Had a camp fire at Fun Camp near a week ago. It’s been a few years since I’ve ever had a camp fire eh. hahahaha.
Okay, short post because I’ve told myself to sleep early but I’ve passed my sleeping time, yet again. ): got to wake up earlier tomorrow. I hope I won’t be late again. haha.
