went to beach today...
to bring my stuff from PFSSC to NSC.. freaking hot day... was baking under my black world vision teeshirt... totally forgot that NSC is void of any place with sufficient shade... sam could take off his shirt... and he did... wanqi dared to take off hers... and so she did... and there i was... baking in my hot black tee.... not fair!!!! rigged up the stuff... miss my laogong back at PFSSC... the equipment at NSC sucks big time... but its pretty logical to train on these lousy sails and boards... then use the nice nice power ones during competitions... but... these equipment really suck big time!!!! brought my skeg back to sand... hehhee... sounds farnie... but my skeg kinda makeover.. so need to sand it down... its pretty ugly now... even my dad asked me to get a new one... but as mistral sailors... you must be able to do your own repairs... i shall... if i dont ruin them all before i do... ----Stef stopped rambling at 20:17 --Link to Post |

received this in my mail...
post it here coz he's quite farnie... Dear all, Training from 27th March onwards will be conducted at NSC. Please unrig and mrak your present equipment at PFSSC and store it for competition use only. Bring along spares like battens, mast foot and ropes. . .(sam's duties) .(SK's duties.) .(LH's duties) .(WQ's duties.) .. SL(me!) , you shall be the master of the rules of sailing. Protest and seeking redress will be your job. You will also be the squad's treasurer, buying of board bags and other essentials will come from your pocket. The training fees will come from you too. In another words, you shall be singapore sailing's biggest 'Ah Long'. For all, squad members will have to purchase their own rule books. There will be a race every Sunday at PA at 2pm. It is a fun race where you will pit yourself against our cousins - formula and short board. Should be an easy win, because the long boards can point up wind easier.

quite farnie a day today...
brought my bro out to eat at pizza hut... ya know... the really cheap deal? thot it was one of the rare chances to bring him out... so i just did... met uncle cheemeng there.. one of dad's long-time-never-see-liaoz soccer kakis... he din really recognise me... i think it was the ultra black tan... but still... he gave both of us a treat... woohoo! so i had a free lunch! went down to beach after that... coz sam call me to pei him... he had to fix his board... that the stupid HKG10 langga him until got one big hole... sam was late but andrew came... with wearn how... meng was out at sea... and harold came soon after... suddenly you get an influx of guys ard you... ACS(i) toppers training... the NOSS coaches... hehhee... was pretty weird not having WQ ard... i think andrew's quite nice again... helping sam fix his board... and my skeg... which got really beaten up... wind was good... but couldnt sail... things still under repair... saw the seniors out there planning so fast.. kinda envy... but actually got this inertia to go out in strong winds liaoz... you just fear lor... was a crappy day today... just sat at the shed... sanding down the repairs... wiping my hands on sam... and he stepped on me!!! that ass... to think i helped him sand abit of his stuff... grrr... quite happie actually... wearn how (the sea games gold and asian games bronze medalist for sailing) actually knows my name!!! was quite farnie... coz oni me andrew and wearn how was left at the shed... then we saw two old balding angmohs with two young chinese gals... then andrew covered my ears and started talking abt the girls... which was quite stupid... coz i heard everything... wearn how was like so gek... 'hey stephanie... dont you think its so unfair... angmoh look like that nobody says anything when they're with young gers... if the mean were old balding chinese they'll automatically be chee ko pehs...' it was really damn farnie lor... when you think abt his credentials... 9A1s for Os... straight As for As... now in london doing aeronautical engineering... and you heard him say stuff like that... peppered with his fav WahLans and KNNs... he's one farnie guy... quite a warm and friendly person too... =) i give him... 4 stars! ----Stef stopped rambling at 21:19 --Link to Post |

Penang Trip
to put it simply... i think this trip has made a big difference in my life... c'mon... we were somewhat totally independent... andrew was almost alwaz nowhere-to-be-found... i mean we kinda grew up... learnt to look out for each other... help each other out... on a serious note... being alone in a foreign place... without your family... or someone older to look over you... it kinda forces you to grow up... i think i did... i boiled the water in my room... washed my own clothes... hung my own stuff... packed my bags... managed my finances... without the ATM card... other that the beds and general cleanliness to the chambermaids... we did everything ourselves.. i honestly... mine was the best room among the rest... but pardon the fact that they're a bunch of lazy boys... kinda knew all my people better too... got really pissed with some of them during the trip... but soon... you'll realise that you cant do without each other... though somebody might really suck today... tomorrow without him is like totally not workable... dunnoe why me and WQ got different views abt the guys... i thot sam was the best among the 3 of them... i mean he was the oni one who din let his fatique affect the mood and spirit of the grp... but she thot that he's abit too tensed up during races... it was kinda difficult... trying to bring up the spirit of the grp when we're doing so badly... back in sg... we can sail... better than most beginners... but there... we got thrashed like we never did b4... morales hit rock bottom... and some of my team mates comments really didnt help... i couldnt do much also... coz my ego also slammed rock bottom... it didnt help that we were all so tired after every day... it was the very first time we raced for 7 consecutive days... and trained for 2 days before that... professionals get rest days before their actual races... and actual races never lasted more than 5 days... but at the end of the day... we still came together... and watch TV... talk crap... i think that's what a team is for... to bring you up when you are down... so that you can keep on going... i love my team... ----Stef stopped rambling at 00:00 --Link to Post |

muahhahaha... wasnt ard much lah... coz got skit rehearsal... quite dumb... have oni like one line and one word... but its quite fun lah... the dance looks pretty okay... but i think its gonna be quite tough teaching it to the whole JC1 cohort... dunnoe how they gonna manage... just have to try our very best... the dance is cool... but need practice to get the style rite... i havent really got my style yet... c'mon... i oni learnt it two days ahead of the OGFs... and now i'm teaching them as if i'm some pro... when i'm not... sometimes i miss steps... then they can happily continue... i so paiseh... kanbate!!! met lala on the way to sch today... so cute... she happily sit down a few seats in front of me without seeing me... had to call her on the HP to tell her i was on the same bus... hehehe... love my new bag... actually aint considered that new... considering its off season... well... it was a bargain... so i dont really care... mambo seems really AA... hehhee... but oh well... hate the straps... but love the shape... what a dilemma... but love the colour too... 2:1.. therefore... i LOVE the bag... ----Stef stopped rambling at 23:25 --Link to Post |

SK's almost 60 kilos lor! pity that cant see the sunset from where we were... coz the sun sets behind the hills... which was cool actually... that the beach wont be so hot when we come back after the afternoon out at sea... the sand wont burn our feet like it did when we launched... while training it was quite cool actually... the jap sailors actually waited for us... to sail together... whcih was really cool... nice of them to do that... its alwaz nicer to sail in a bunch... you feel more secure.. that if anything were to happen... there'll be someone there for you... =) ----Stef stopped rambling at 13:44 --Link to Post |

just came back from penang... survived the big winds and crap... come back to singapore... and sprained my ankle over a game of soccer... now limping quite jialat-ly... hehhee... know wad??? i also not sure... but you know how you usually dont remember dreams? in penang however... one night i dreamt this dream that i did not forget... its quite crazy actually... that i was all grown up and stuff... and was with sam... thinking abt how to do up our apartment... which was pretty crazy coz though we have been pretty close... i've alwaz treated him like a little bro... but maybe coz he's been great throughout the trip... helped me alot with my equipment... taught me some pool and subsequently beat me 3 games in a row... walked me to the beach when i insisted on going down to check on the equipment when the others refused to come along... i'm not in love with him ya??? hope not... this trip kinda allowed me to change my impression of the thai sailors totally... pardon the spelling... but koo, kai, bow, sulhaimi, arun have all been great seniors... helping me and qi alot when we were down... one day it was blowing 20+ knots... and i was really freaked... really... almost cried... told andrew i couldnt sail... but he threw me out... almost crashed into the pulau tikus off the shore of penang... that was freaky... koo helped us launch... asked andrew to help me... the thais taught us alot... really... amazed at their generousity of their skills... even the thai youths... neng... who looked so fatherly while carrying their coach's son... jack.. who never held back his suaning at WQ... they were great fun... and their cute exclaimation.. which bow taught us... we learnt it as TWO-CORN-LIAO-CUP.. hahha... they even say it out at sea... it supposed to be something like CORRECT! but well... i dunnoe... maybe merser you wanna correct me... muahhzhah... ----Stef stopped rambling at 00:22 --Link to Post |

hey guys!!!!
i'm back!!! woohoo! been some time since i last blogged... the keyboard's kinda foreign to me... penang had been a great experience... there were ups and downs... but the fact that the downs make good learning points... makes the trip a really fulfilling one... so many things happened over the ten days there... i dont know where to start... but it has been really really cool... the foreign sailors... how we try to converse in simple english... hand signals and the like... the cute koreans...thai..HKGers..japs... the strong winds... the big storm that blew the whole tentage away... got us really freaked... but gave us a chance to know the others better... my crazy team mates... how we bunked into each others' rooms... watch TV... drink vodka... eat crap... wrestle each other... my sucky coach... who amazingly got to be part of the international jury... which sucked coz he would have to abandon us most of the time... bleah... the freaky weather... where it could get piercing hot one minute... and get blown around by a tropical storm the next... the amount of shopping one could do there... bought lotsa stuff... splurged 60 sing dollars on a pair of boardshorts... which was pretty insane... bought a mambo bag which i realised on hindsight that it din really suit me... the food in penang... which could be quite monotonous when you eat the hotel breakfast like 9 mornings in a row... the same hawker centre almost every lunch... and din get to go the famous gurney drive until the very last day... jellifishes in the waters... freaking alot... white one.. yellow one... long or short.. fat or skinny... my new ouxiangz... alot of the thai sailors... for being there when we needed help and advice... being the funny guys they are... ah dong the fireman from HKG... for making us feel good abt ourselves even though our sailing sucked... oka... for being the humble asian games gold medalist... talking to me like he was never one... junho cho... for been ever so funny... and sweet when talking abt his galfren... 'fat but got good heart...' aww.... have loads to say abt my days... so will do so in the following entries... ----Stef stopped rambling at 15:31 --Link to Post |

A rustle,
the leaf. A whistle, the wind. Insignificant, they might be. Beauty, they possess. Take time to look around, for the little things in life. You'll never know what you have just missed. ----Stef stopped rambling at 23:05 --Link to Post |

think chunyong's rite abt taking refuge in the CR...
think i'm starting to do that liaoz... kinda leaving the bunch during breaks... sticking myself in the CR... disturbing alwin lai... playing CDs... eating... crapping... or just sleeping... somehow... the CR really feels like home now... with no regard for the mess its in... it kinda means alot to me... i thot CY was crazy when he related this to me... but i guess its finally taking place... kinda sucky actually... received feedback that we kinda lame on AJ Radio... maybe so... so we kinda just did intro on the song... and thats it... kinda sick of coming early every morning to do Radio... instead of asking shishi to do so repeatedly.. i thot i'll just draw the list myself... not bad... almost all the slots filled liaoz... so... you'll be getting new DJs soon... =P~ had like 2 meetings today... and 0202 form teacher just called me (AT HOME!!!) to have a meeting first thing tmr.. taking advantage of my morning break... piangz... this is crazy... but i guess these are the loose ends i have to tie up before i leave on wed ya??? really ya know.. council can really be something you can love and hate.. all at the very same time... =P *bleah* been thinking abt things... something i have alwaz tried to live by... 'do onto others what you want others to do onto you...' i think that kinda applies alot... seriously... i cant imagine sitting alone by myself throughout a whole lecture... its a horrible feeling that i dont think anyone should go thru.. i dont sit with her coz i'm nice... (i'm not anyway... you should see what goes in my mind... muahahha...) but coz i wont want my friends to sit somewhere else when i'm already seated.. and they choose not to sit by me... its sad... i felt it during physics today... not that i blame anyone... but it aint a good feeling.. trust me... whether it is her choice or not... she's trying... lets try too... am starting to pack my stuff for penang... kinda realised i have been wearing the same clothes like for the past few weeks... coz i havent got the time/energy to ransack my wardrobe.. its like the leaning tower of piza... i think my team mates are getting sick of my post training gear... the sch uniform... hate to travel heavy... just bring my water gear... and wear back my U... kinda yucky... but hey... at least i dont get backaches... ----Stef stopped rambling at 22:03 --Link to Post |
