above pics are from the Bahamas, some of my friends went there for the 29er worlds'. its always fun sailing at nice places.

&. ive come to the realization that this will be my 7th year staying in a hostel. after which i will be in the army and its another 2 years away from home. 9 years altogether. as i always say- the road less travelled.

just cant believe im so darn unlucky to hit 6 times. i dont think anyone decent even misses 6 windshifts in a race. thank god for cjays and roger sanchez.

okay its 8/1/2010 today, time flies so quickly. I had a fairly good 2009 and sure am looking forward to 2010. 2009 ended with only 1 title from Aust nats, 3rd at kiel week and 4th at youth worlds. I guess sailing wise, this is the year to make up for it and there wasnt a better way to start it off and send a message. Gonna start with ASC in China in march which i will miss grams, qing's birthday. Germany in june, Israel in july and asian games in china in november. obviously barring selections which i have to qualify myself for.

Its actually gonna be a very challenging year ahead if i qualify for all the trips, i have to miss 1/3 of school because my holidays are all screwed up due to sports school hosting the yog events. my june holidays are pushing back to july-sept. okay, i shall study smarter and at least maintain my gpa or hopefully increase it by 0.2.

Hopefully i will get my car license soon sometime this year+ powerboat license. i'm also gonna save up my spextag this year so that in december i will be able to fund for my own trip to melbourne and sydney for some summer sailing in skiffs and surfing. hopefully all goes well and i will earn my qualifications for the sailing trips, at least maintain my grades and have a fking awesome summer with my gf in aus.

if i can achieve all that for 2010, i'll have no complains and enlist myself into army with peace. but to begin my year ahead here's to you M- I N D -E F .. F K U. and thats for not letting my partner(sailing) enlist earlier.
