Yesterday was an... interesting day.

Had a field trip to Pulau Ubin to take photo-references for the project. Boatride + Rental of kickass Shimano full suspension bike = sponsored by school.

Made an interesting observation about cycling techniques.

The experienced cyclists would put their seat really high up, to the extent that both feet cannot touch the ground at the same time. This would give the cyclist a greater range of movement in his legs so that he can execute more power by extending his legs almost all the way after the contraction.

Leisure cyclists would put their seat at average height. For fear of the height of the experienced cyclists seat configuration, and fear of falling down.

Vincent on the other hand, put his seat all the way down. To the lowest, in fact. Saying that its "easier to cycle". This configuration would grant him ability to cycle with minimum extension of his legs, in other words, he knees would be bent alot all the time. Thinking that the less he moves his legs and cycles, the easier time he will have. But any experienced cyclist would tell you this is not true, but tell him that and he will raise his eyebrows and say "No. I find it easier." Needless to say what I think about that attitude... deceivingly self-satisfied ego, and lazy.



Went back to school after that when everyone else went home. Played wolfenstein for a while with the guys, playing some really retarded friendly fire matches.

Then went to Piano Ensemble.

Heard 2 juniors, and 1 senior play. Everyone else didn't prepare. *sigh* I thought the comments section was fine, but later on Caroline said that some of the seniors didn't feel comfortable giving comments after the playing, because they felt uncomfortable about giving "advice" when they're the same standard. I think that a team should be comfortable to help each other out. Regardless of fear of stepping on each other's pride and pettiness. Everything said should be taken with an open-mind, as the comments given are not always right either. But as a whole, I think it would give an interesting amount of pressure and provide useful information for the acceleration of the pianists musicality.

Gave a small talk on Ideal Performance State to the team after that. I wonder if they found that useful.

And, my home computer internet explorer is bust. Crash everytime I enter a website... stupid thing... need to find out what's wrong.

Training later, dunno if I should rest up my elbow... strained it a little too much doing lat pull down on thursday. Went up to 77kg doing back lat pulls. That's second highest on the machine liao. Haha, but only 4 reps. Stupid elbow...
