Shirley's blasting her music in the room again today. Stupid jap rock. I don't know if japanese girls think that they sound sexy by screaming into the mic, but its just plainly childish and annoying.
Yesterday was such a lazy sunday. Woke up, played uo, ate breakfast, took a nap. woke up, ate lunch, played uo, took a nap. Ahahahaha, felt so good indeed. Then met Stephen for weights at bishan gym. Felt like a lazy pig so didn't want to go running. Stephen never wants to run before/after weights, too concerned about bulking liao. Haiz... cannot train strength all the time man, our endurance will go to hell one.
Work's really monotonous around here, which I am spicing up with bloggin/reading blogs/bitching on forums. I'm looking at the GPS satellite pictures of pulau tekong or the west live firing area while planting graveyards. Would be a good idea to memorize the place while I'm working on this, kekekeke. You wouldn't believe the amount of cemeteries the place. There's buddhist cemeteries, hindu cemeteries, christian cemeteries, heck probably, taoist cemeteries, free-thinker cemeteries and satanism cemeteries as well.

Ahhh saturdays, the one day I look forward to.
Woke up at 6:30, sun wasn't up. Quickly got ready and left the house at about 7. It felt good to smell the fersh morning air again. Kallang at 8. Canoeing orientation today, Coach went to thailand, very relaxed and slacked. Carried boats out. Starlums. Lots and lots of starlums. Enough for 45+ people, infact. It was such a mess. Starlums everywhere on the floor in SDBA, then starlums everywhere in the water. Managed to use the 218 brasca IV for a good amount of time today. Figured I'm about tall enough to use the panel underneath as a foot rest. So, I can kick! Woohoo! Kicking + brasca IV = flying in the water. Was really flying! Managed to go straight for a good amount of the journey around today. The new guys did capsize drills, and I demonstrated twice as rescuer, hehe. Was a nice change :p
Did some pacing with Yongqiang, I managed to keep up and actually gain on him! (Although I crashed into his side when I did catch up.) He was supposed to go for the nationals along with Naresh, so I'm guessing the peak standard is about there. Muahahaha. Did another set and kept up pretty well, then suddenly I felt my paddle... oops, forgot to lift out of the water fully, hit the surface on my recovery and whee.... down I went. Managed to yell out "Yong qiaaaaaaaang!" As I flipped over. Stupid guy thought I found another dead fish. Hehehe, we found a dead fish earlier, and I scooped it up in my paddle and catapulted it a good distance away.
Phong is damn funny. I learned 101 new ways to paddle on the starlum, and 101 ways to act as a hood/rear ornament. My favourite paddle variation is the baywatch hand paddle. Where you keep your paddle in the boat, lean forward, and paddle with your arms. Some of his hood ornament variations were kinda.... obscene, ahahaha.
Dragonboat orientation next. Got logistics problems so we didn't manage to go down in the starlum. Ended up waiting at SDBA for the new guys/gals to come back, then we did a long distance set and some pickups only. Haiz.
Went to eat with Rendy, Willy Melvin and Jeremy. Jonathan, Wani and Meixuan came along too. Kallang market. Mmm........ hungry again thinking of the chicken rice.
Went home and played UO for a while and then went to bed. I hope sea training will pick up next week.

Yesterday's training was pretty fun.
Arrived late due to attachment ending at 6, so I did my own running. 7 rounds only, was doing about 1:50 per round, urgh... still not enough, need to push futher! 1:40 damnit! Only at that pace can I get a sub 10 timing for 2.4. Damn runners knee, make my running so jia lat. Sprinted for the last 100 metres, then could still go an extra 50 metres. *sigh* didn't plan my stamina distribution well enough.
Crap. How come I can psyche myself up so well for weights, pushups/situps or pullups, telling myself stuff like "there's nothing to endure", but I totally die for running?
Die, I think last semester's runners knee period had a detrimental effect to my mental game while running. I shall have to resort to reciting my battle mantra during running. Come to think of it, I've been doing that for everything except running. Ore no kac da! Ore kyaku kac da! Ore no do fan da se!
Pullups was super slacked. 10, 10, 14. Should try to do 14 all the way next time.
Weights was pretty fun, though. Ben put a tonnage limit of 7.5 per side for the seniors so the new guys won't feel like they have too much to catch up on. That rendy ah... kept wanting to do heavier, more reps. So I qie4 reps with him. Hahaha, then he qie4d me at hammer curl with extra reps and 1 extra set. Did his weird variation and emerged effortlessly victorious *grins*
Ran around the track abit after training. Started fast, then... felt the effects of the full squats we did for weights. Ended up stopping at 400metres >_<. Shall try for more next time.
Walked to the bus interchange and met up with the canoeists. Always end up laughing my lungs out when I'm with hong da. We were talking about the amazing race, and Huda.. hahaha. Her tired expression is priceless. Just makes you want to scream "POOR THING!".
Hrm... performing team for the piano ensemble's meeting today. Dunno what I'm gonna do with them. Hrm....
1. Explain that we will be meeting up once a week on fridays to play pieces. We shall rotate players.
2. Tell them to prepare for casual recital in 2 weeks time
3. Tell them to check online forum at least once a week
4. Submit their pieces to Caroline on wednesday, 5-6pm
2 MORE WEEKS HERE TILL I CAN GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND WORK ON GAAAAAAAMES AGAIN! AHUAHUAHUAHAUHAUA
Yaeh, that just hit me... now where was I...
5. Have seniors perform a couple of pieces. Maybe play something myself.
Hrm... Canoeing sea training orientation tomorrow morning, followed by dragonboat sea training orientation in the afternoon. Haiz... how am I supposed to orientate the canoeing juniors if I need to practice rowing so much. Put me in the racing T1! I wanna fly! Then for dragonboat orientation, the seniors will be going down in the starlums. I hate the starlums. For those of you who don't know what starlums are, they are the big FAT expedition t1 kayaks that you see NYP canoeists bobbing around in sometimes. They easy as hell to balance in, but hard as hell to MOVE. So damn fat, like its for obese people or something. Then Ben said that we'll only be using the starlums for dragonboat training. Btw, it has NO KICKER. Yes, nothing to kick! How retarded is that? Nvm, I shall take it as resistance training, then I will be flying for canoeing training in the racing t1.
I need to get in the water, need to canoe more! I want to go faster!
