CCWC

I'm leaving tomorrow for CCWC.

First big international race.

I wonder what will the other competitors look like.

Big, small, tall, short?

It's going to be interesting.

I shall go there and see how good we really are as compared to the world.

Stingray time

Today, I went for geog talk instead of PE.

After that, went to newton circus with XR.

We walked.

And walked.

And walked.

And walked.

And walked.

When we reached, there were so many stalls offering stingray.

So, we walked.

We walked.

And walked.

And walked.

And walked.

And walked.

And compared prices.

I think it's an oligopolistic market in that area.

Few large sellers.

Identical products / Slightly differentiated.

Barriers to entry.

Imperfect knowledge.

Price rigidity (all the price is about the same).

We finally decided to go for Heng Heng stall.

Ordered BBQ stingray, tom yum soup, rice and sugar cane drink.

Yum-yum.

Handlebar by The Flobots

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

Look at me, look at me
hands in the air like it's good to be
ALIVE
and I'm a famous rapper
even when the paths're all crookedy
I can show you how to do-si-do
I can show you how to scratch a record
I can take apart the remote control
And I can almost put it back together
I can tie a knot in a cherry stem
I can tell you about Leif Ericson
I know all the words to "De Colores"
And "I'm Proud to be an American"
Me and my friend saw a platypus
Me and my friend made a comic book
And guess how long it took
I can do anything that I want cuz, look:

I can keep rhythm with no metronome
No metronome
No metronome

I can see your face on the telephone
On the telephone
On the telephone

Look at me
Look at me
Just called to say that it's good to be
ALIVE
In such a small world
All curled up with a book to read
I can make money open up a thrift store
I can make a living off a magazine
I can design an engine sixty four
Miles to a gallon of gasoline
I can make new antibiotics
I can make computers survive aquatic conditions
I know how to run a business
And I can make you wanna buy a product
Movers shakers and producers
Me and my friends understand the future
I see the strings that control the systems
I can do anything with no assistance
I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
With a microphone
I can split the atoms of a molecule
Of a molecule
Of a molecule

Look at me
Look at me
Driving and I won't stop
And it feels so good to be
Alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let'em all die in exasperation
Have'em all grilled leavin lacerations
Have'em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don't like'em and
I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command
I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
By satellite
and I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope
and I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handle bars
No handlebars

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

K4

Get ready boys, it's gonna be a bumpy ride

And we have lift off


Go go go go go!!!



Finish it with style

Sunday, 20 July 2008

Perfectly ok

NCC wasn't that bad.

Had quite abit of fun, especially in the k4.

Although, it seems like its the most lifeless race this year.

It also marks the end of all the canoeing championships this year.

I feel so tired.

So drained.

S.E.A canoeing champs will be held here in Singapore in december.

I want to give it a shot.

Hmm, we'll see how things go from here.

First time

First time man. First time. haha

Sorry.

Annoying I may be, but it's who I am.

Sick and tired of all your comments.

Go find your prince charming and don't bother me anymore.

The journey to NCC

Day 1

We tried out the k4 today..

Me, Brian, Clifton and Lucas.

A few screw ups here and there.

Quite a few things to set straight before NCC this weekend.

Day 2

Today was wasted due to train.

Couldn't row.

We did some necessary adjustments to the boat.

Hopefully tomorrow we can try it out again.

K4 so fun. Funny.

4 k1 rowers will take sometime to get used to rowing together.

Day 3

Felt much better.

Balance still abit off here and there.

Take off is nice.

Need to work on transition.

Today was abit windy.

Day 4

I did not train today.

Went for consolidation lecture.

Need to study.

Promos in 2 months.

Hopefully can train tomorrow.

Found


Found this picture. haha. Nice?

Congrats

Well done ACSI canoeing team.

NJC finally lost the A div guys title after 6 years.

I'm proud to say that we lost to a better team.

A deserving team.

It was a good fight I have to say.

Lost by 2 points.

Definitely a fight to the finish.

It was down to the last second that races were won/lost.

A remarkable team.

We have a lot to work on in order to fight for the titles next year.

Even though they forego some events, they still emerge as champions.

Simply amazing.

Saturday, 12 July 2008

Not to well


I was not good enough to help the team this year.

Double events really kills.

After my 1000m race, I died out during my 500m.

Tired.

I can tell that the 500m was definitely not my best set.

From the starts I was already at the back.

I was too close for both 500m and 1000m.

Why could'nt I give the extra stroke when it matters the most?

I'm not strong enough.

Need to be stronger.

NCC next week.

07/08

Can't believe that 2 years is almost over.

Njc canoeing team 07/08 is going to be over soon

Seems like yesterday I came in thru DSA.

Sucks man.

Why did I screw up my promos?

I'll be left behind next year.

No one to laugh with.

No one to train with.

Haha.

Its almost sad to know nationals is tomorrow.

All the best guys.

Tomorrow will be the start of national schools canoeing champs.
My race will be quite late in the afternoon so prolly be attending lessons in the morning.

SIAN!!!

How to race if got school in the morning?
This sucks.
Semis and finals for 500 and 1000 are quite close.
Like only 2hrs apart.
Shall take some supplements to recover inbetween races.
This is where the training comes in.
All the sets after sets after sets.
And ending them off with a race set.

I hope you know what you're doing.

I shall just whack all out.

Enough or not enough I'm not sure.

Come what may...

Karma Chameleon lyrincs by Culture club

Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listen to your lies would you say
Im a man without conviction
Im a man who doesnt know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green

Didnt hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet I heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling our love is strong
When you go youre gone forever
You string along
You string along

Every day is like a survival
Youre my lover not my rival
Every day is like a survival
Youre my lover not my rival

Im a man without conviction
Im a man who doesnt know
How to sell a contradication
You come and go
You come and go

After all the training and competitions,
all for the race next week.
Looking back at how far I've come from the noob I was 2.5 years back.
Previous results all don't matter now.

Have to agree with what Sil said.
How can I beat the acsi kids?

Don't like people to set targets for me.
I will just do what I can.

Danial's philosophy:
Its about how hard you train,
its about how hard I train,
its about how hard we push
and how sexy we are.


Well done to those who've trained hard for this event.
Congratulations on making it this far.
May we do our best,
and not regret after it.
