life's been different since coming back from youth worlds. havent been spending time sailing and that has been giving my other parts of life much more time. school has been great, enjoying what i'm learning this semester. psychology,nutrition,management and anatomy, so relevant to what i do in sailing so its pretty sick!. imagine enjoying studying because it gives u xtra boost and an edge of knowledge in sports science over others. sailing part has been non-existent i guess apart from me stepping into byte 2 weekends ago. it was so sick yeww, my thighs were burning from hiking out. i forgot to put down the rudder when i launched the first day because i assumed i had stine to do it. fuck i've been crewing for almost 4 years now. thats bloody long!. regatta wasnt too bad i think, tried to recall single handed techniques and shitz, and downwind was good cept for the light wind when i raced a 23rd! fo sho yo!
Qing and i celebrated our 1st over sailing out at sea, was quite shock she was yearning so much to hike out after i taught her how to. (note, i dont have the best hiking techniques) that was actually an unbelievable aftn for me.firstly i was pretty scared i couldnt handle 10knots in a laser with a girl whom had no out-at-sea experience and secondly qing scared me when she asked to take over the rudder and started hiking out. its a nice feeling to know that she likes sailing as well and she'll at least know i'm doing something fun!.
we went to mandarin that weekend for a crash high tea as well, we were hotel hopping because i obviously forgot to make bookings. went to st.regis,hilton,swissotel and shitz but finally we settled for chatterbox! atm i cant rmb all that ive done since coming back, too many things to mention argh. oh ya i finally moved into hostel 2 weeks ago with the help of mum & qing, so that has been good cos i'm on the up side of fitness,general fitness so at least when i jump into a boat (not sure which on) i wont die.
I spent last sunday cycling 62km from tampines- ECP- Mt faber with aaron, we cycled up and went down at 50km/h. i got home really sore but i like this feeling of a good workout, nothing better than that. went to cafe del mar last monday with qing and her besti, we swam to the island and obviously i lost, fuck i cant swim for nutz. they had to help me hold the camera cos i was sinking haha.
on the other fitness side of things, i just got an email abt fitness testing in sept. anyway i've been cross training so much, playing rugby,lifting weights and circuits plus badminton. yeh the latter making my forearm so sore i cant lift a cup. i think im gonna be ready just in time for when i need to vollebak'. haha and anw god knows what stine is doing, probably studying 24/7 since that guy is hardcore, i think he'll just get 4 A's. he's one of the sickest dudes i know.
am going to bali in 2 months time to surf and snorkel, its gonna be sweet plus 3 assignments to hand up in the next 3 weeks and qing has exams as well so this means we are back to studying and its gnna be productive. cant wait for 18th sept to come. and i know (Qing+Jane+Claire) cant wait as well. thanks dear, its gonna work out just right. you're my champion event planner!
