Went to the fbt warehouse with the safsa guys to order the jersey and windbreakers. I remember going there with Jo so many years back, going through all the different jerseys and colors and designs and picking the perfect one for the team.

Then when it was time to collect we would open some of the packages and wow over how well it turned out, like proud parents lol.

Went to Seletar after that with dog to practice k2 and... the place is like godamn nice la. PA spent like 300k renovating that small plot of land to make a nice shed and facilities. They really got it right this time, unlike klssc and the sucky sdba racks.

So its like so hard to decide where to put the boats now. Seletar has got the best looking facilities, calm water, and its not crowded. Macritchie is closest to home, good competition and calm water. Kallang has got dragonboats to race with, VAST body of water to row in (merlion and esplanade), and you can row past 6pm -_-.

CAN'T DECIDE OMGWTFLOL!!11

Dog's power in the boat has improved alot. He can keep up with my power starts, so the boat isn't so rocky now. That gives us a huge advantage now. If only his directioning isn't so bloody cock!

... But mine also cock up sometimes so wth!

Rowing a K2 is a completely different game to a k1. As back rower, you have to check timing like siao, for both entry and recovery, or else balance will cock up. You have to sense how hard your frontman is pulling and apply the same amount of power, not more or less, or else balance will cock up. You have to ground the boat balance at all times, so the frontman can shift all he wants, or else the balance will cock up.

We went to eat at... KFC after that huhuhu. Damn bad man... so nice but so fat. Had a long talk... including sense of competition... and I came to a grand awakening.

GREAT EPIPHANY FROM DOTA AND GAMING:

I can't understand how people keep randoming characters. I mean, it makes more sense to pick a character to complement your team while at the same time be able to exploit the weaknesses of the other team's characters. People like butcher and gang play to have fun.... but if you don't play to win, what's the damn point? And if you play to win, you'll want to make the situation as favorable to you winning as possible by like... choosing the right character right.

People can play GTA... known for its senseless bad morales and super open-ended and diverse gameplay. And I never quite got into the game. Because like dog said, its a game to just have fun. Like going to beat up people over and over again and have policemen arrest you.

I think gaming has always been ridiculously competitive for me. Made even more pronounced during Shoryuken days and national level competitions. Thats how I have fun... by competing. I see no sense in any other goal, unless its to play out an awesome plot or story.

Perhaps this is why I have chosen the career path that I have. To be the best composer in my genre. Even during concerts in the past I made it a point to be the most outstanding pianist in terms of emotion or arrangement. A job where you just do something for any other goal wouldn't quite do the trick for me. For me, a job just to get money was never the issue, because who the hell can't get a job to make alot of money? But to enjoy it, and be the best at it; that would drive me forever. Music is also important to me because messed up people need direction to channel their emotions. Especially since I can't really feel shit.

So yeah, I suppose a part of my fighting spirit never went away. And gaming does make you learn more about yourself. And so does reflecting about seemingly stupid things.


Stupid Nitec put me aeroplane for gym after that... when I have to pangseh other people to meet him... like wth.

Tried the new shoulder program and... I ache like shit right now.

Its time to cut some strings.
