water training today...
was on the 4th hole... thot it'll be a piece of cake... coz the wind seemed pretty light... proved otherwise at abt 4 plus... mr tan joined us... and we had good circuits of bedok, keta, padang buoys... was quite ok for the first few legs.... but lagged behind for the rest... maybe i was tired... the re-panelled sails were really extremely heavy... and feels weird on the boom end... yucky stuff... after the water break at PA... the wind picked up alot... a very patchy NE though... to think i mentioned i prefer NE winds... gross la... then mr tan's boom broke... went to get help from the speed boats coaching the 420/470 squads... uncle edwin went to mr tan's aid... hiaks! quite scary... lucky i was around... if not i dunnoe where he'll float until... was having trouble myself... coz the sail was really too heavy... and i kept uphauling until the abrasions on my palm were really too much... hurts... but i had to get him help... and get myself back thereafter... din help that the wind was patchy... and that i fell in every few hundred metres.... darn... ego/morale crashed as the sail touched water every single time man... was smack in the middle of the 420/470 course... cant tell the difference between their boats... then they were kinda speeding in my direction... panicked... but there was nuthing i could do coz my sail was in the water... argh! it was terrible... but once again.. there was nuthing i could do.... on a lighter... brighter note... met the bball gang... shot a couple of hoops at marine parade CC... then made our way down to parkway swensens' for dinner... cost me abt 20 bucks... not cheap for the jobless me... but cant possibly be a spoilsport... and i DID enjoy my meal... with them... happiness... just love being out with them... we just laugh... crap... gossip... and of course... SUAN 486!!! hehhe... ching's b-dae tmr... din bring cam... so no photos... but still am happie!!! revisited adrian's photo webby... with the photos prior to jud's departure to canada... it's linked under youths.. check it out ya... think we looked ultra different then... just spoke to ben k. on the phone... for abt 15 mins... yeay... longest conversation so far... he was walking to the MRT station... so i guess it's a space filler thing ya??? hehhe... joked with him that i needed to start issuing alphabets for all the ben.s i know... coz its such a common name... heheh... but i think his surname is pretty unique la... so it'll do fine... ----Stef stopped rambling at 23:50 --Link to Post |
