Wordification

Left elbow acting up again during gym training yesterday. Really sucks how injuries from so many years ago slowly come back to haunt you every now and then. Wrist hurt too. Barbell bicep curl is really the stupidest exercise invented la.

Went to row in the evening. Took out the blue jaguar k1, put on my green sport sennheiser earphones, and took a long trip outside of kallang basin.

Didn't know that we use a certain amount of our sense of hearing to listen where the paddle enters and exits, and how early/late this occurs with respect to choppy wave conditions. Realized this when 98.7 was playing Evanescence and my balance screwed up a little.

The waves outside of shears bridge were quite high. Some were as high as the top of my boat and threatened to gush in. Luckily the rimming broke the water.

So off I went on a 10km row to the esplanade, and the merlion. Someone who would give a damn about scenery would porbably have found it nice because the red setting sun colored the tips of the esplanade's cones.

Was so tempted to go under the Merlion's spittlefall, but decided not to test the water resistance of my earphones and mp3player. Rowing with music really cuts you off more to the outside world. Makes you more at peace. All you can hear is the very soft woosh of water as you pull your blade out every now and then. Heavy banging music when you're trying to negotiate an area of highly active waves on the other hand, makes the situation seem more critical.

Went to race and trash some noob dragonboats for awhile, then went to look for her, but all I could make out was sin teck -_-.

Came home to do some work after that. Then the bed looked like a nice place to lie down for awhile. And low and behold, my superhuman powers of time-warping kicked in and the next thing I knew, it was morning! Amazing!

Must have been damn shacked for it to activate so early in the night.
