grr. my tagboard is damn screwed up. u need to click on the 'R' icon or the eye icon thingamajig) to see the tags. hurumph.

today's trng.. (what else can i ever talk about?) was for lack of a better descriptive, interesting. there was the national squad selections time trials going on at the same time so we could only paddle around in the 'pond' nearby.. u would've thot that that would mean that trng will be light and stuff given the circumstances right?

well, u thot wrong! haha. jiaolian decided to drop a bomb on our heads: RESISTANCE TRNG.
yep. that's right. the return of the oh-so-glam life-jacket-assisted resistance trng.

let me just tell u that having to row round and round and round and round that bloody small pond with a life-jack strapped to the front of the boat is no joke. it's mind-numbing. it's like, oh here i go again, hmm.. look nice tree in front, let's try to row towards it.. (5 mins later) hmm. nice tree still in front. c'mon yang, u can go faster than that! oh there goes another happy couple on their K2.. thanks a lot for crossing my path!
.. and the waves that the life-jack generated were hella big and noisy. tsktsk. who says u can come to macritchie to find peace and quiet? doesn't help that some old ah peks like to come at 7 in the morning and scream their lungs out at the trees

anyways. the after-effects of resistance made up for all the boringness of it lah. i actually felt the kinda glide u supposedly only get on Ks :)

speaking of Ks, i rowed K2 with java for fun today after my programme was done! OMGGXX. those good ole days... freaking high-inducing!!! like i felt damn stable inspite of a persistent right tilt and we were ZOOMING around!!! this is the second time i've done K2 in 2 trngs.. the last one was with tracy, and i was front man but guess what? I FORGOT THAT A RUDDER EXISTS. LOL!. so we were doing a lot of manual ruddering (ooops!!), but i also felt quite stable.. until we started bursting, or trying to anyways. lol..
when we came up jiaolian said, "ok, ming nian ni hua K2" ("ok, next year u row K2")
O__0
currently, i dun even dare to think of that. cos gideon needs me. lmao. no lah. but i have really grown to love T1s. like at first, it was damn boring, yknow the whole single-craft loneliness? yah. then i discovered tilting, thanks to peishan (her bursts are... to use a rj lingo: damn imba) and it got funner.. then i discovered bursting and it got even funner. :D

oh wait! speaking of bursts.. last trng or was it last last trng, i was finishing up my 2k 'race thing', i was at like the 4th buoy, when i heard some guys shout "BURST!", then this aquamarine advantage K2 started inching up beside me. i sorta instinctly started bursting extra hard, and in the end i think the K2 (which i then realised was j q u e k and p o h's) was like 1 cm ahead of me when we crossed the finishing line.. then guess what they did? they cheered. like "YAYYY" cheered. -.- "'
afterwards amanda told me she heard them say they wanna try and overtake me.
uh.. tell me why i found that freaking amusing?
oh i dunno, maybe..

1. they are j2s
2. they are guys
3. they were in a K2, correction, advantage K2?

XD

CTs are looming up ahead. i am so gonna become a hermit crab next week. like train, rush home, eat, nap, mug, train, rush home, eat, nap, mug, train, rush home, eat, nap, mug...

hohum. welcome to existence!

whatever. funny:

• If you can't answer a man's argument, all is not lost; you can still call
  him vile names.
• Do you have trouble making up your mind? Well, yes or no?
• If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
• Never argue with a fool. People might not know the difference.

FUNNIEST:

I like work. It fascinates me. I sit and look at it for hours.

go to, then; your considerate stone.
