So the guys performed shit on saturday.

Drummer tossed the buoy and it caught unto the second rower's paddle which made him drop paddle.

Like what kind of fucked up excuse is that?

Anyway the exco us screwed because of their commitment to nteam and its tearing them away from the team. Which is why I'm having them merge the teams temporarily.

Commitment wise I'm not in place to say much anyway... what kind of screwed up captain goes overseas while his team goes for 2 races.

It would be so easy to let go of them and just do my own thing. But there's still some work to be done.

Less than 2 weeks to go...

More comparisons against the gym here and the ones back home...

If you forget to bring a towel... they give you one. So you don't really bother bringing one to the gym in the first place.

And then, if you happen to be so stupid as to lose it in the gym, they'll give you another.

If the mineral water bottle they gave you is running dry, they'll swap it for a new one for you.

But get this..

If you forget to bring shoes... and are wearing like slippers or sandles or barefoot... they'll frickin ask you for your shoe size and bring you a pair of spankin brand new white shoes. omfg.

My life seems to have turned into some sort of rpg. Like elderscrolls... with huge beautiful level designs. I could wander for hours. Exploring the worldmap. Plug in my mp3 player and you've got an overworld theme to match.




Felt a little pain in the chest today... so the office called a doctor to the hotel room. Within 30 mins there was a doctor, translator.. and pretty nurse :)

May have sprained my lung exerting too much last night...




Today one of the camera men got yelled at for talking to a group of us. Like.. they aren't supposed to frickin talk to us. Even the guides aren't supposed to talk to us... only give friendly smiles and greet us everytime they see us, or answer queries.

Last night during the barbeque, we were having so much fun dancing and eating and listening to the live movie on the beach, then I looked out toward the barricade and saw the crowds of people staring in...

Part of me would prefer to be with the people than above them.

Norway's found a way to irritate me. You wouldn't imagine that he was from the special forces and had marine seal training by how he loves to do it. Then again he is 19... and I didn't hear him sneak up, though I did see and feel his wind.

The other day Nigeria hid behind a wall and burst out pointing his finger like a gun at my head and screamed "BLAM! YOU DEAD SUCKA!". I swear... one of these days I'm going to accidentally lay the smackdown on someone XD

The locals... argh... its ok if they ask for pictures or autographs but when you in the lift and they just STARE.... like from bottom up, then bottom up again. Its so annoying. I feel like smacking them! And some of them have the most dumb looks I really want to go into crowd parting mode... but I gotta keep reminding myself that I gotta set a good example. Godamnit.

Ok gotta go be nice again.

As incredible as things are here. I do wish that everything would just go back to normal.

Yesterday was the cooking challenge. I thought we were going to die when our wok caught fire... but it went out by itself.


Today was the sports challenge. Was kinda screwed up... the counters counted the reps that shouldn't count... so guys who were doing like arm swining situps or 20 degree pushups still got counted. wtf?

Eventually the best 4 of each of the 4 teams represented the teams for some events. I came in second for my team overall in statics so had to play.

For kayaking, some guy's boat prevented me from turning properly, so australia took the lead for that event. Godamnit.


Then there was tug of war, while we were up to the waist in water on the beach/sea... with 1/4 metre waves hitting us sporadically.... we came in second for that.

Then there was running with coconuts which was disastrous... had diahhrea in the morning and I was blacking out during the run.

But overall, the 4 of us managed to get our team 1st placing. So yeah, whew.

In the end, the guys who we thought would do well, like norway who was in the special forces attack team, and me ended up doing sub par because we were doing proper form for the stations... but the guys who were doing pansy form were still getting counted... doh.



Tired... can't really think straight.

I want to go canoe... gym at bishan and eat at prata house.

Oh yeah, the food here at the buffet has got labels for every dish... normal chicken... they call baby chicken. Its like the same size of the chicken at prata house and they call it baby chicken... I can't wait to see what is adult chicken -_-

And there was "poached beef". Like why the hell do you need to poach the damn cow for? Isn't that illegal?

Yesterday there was "lamb curry" which was mutton curry. And it just made me miss the food back home even more.

The other day when we were climbing the mountain, some of the guys started singing army songs.

Two more weeks and we'll be through.

SA FSA. HOO HAH!
