Windsurfing

Sheesh, windsurfing is tougher than i tot. It is so unlike laser sailing, where u cld simply catch wind n jus go. I spent half the time in the water, the rest of the time tryin to get onto the board and pullin up the sail. Got to sail for onli a veri short period of time. And the risk of tacking for windsurfing issnt the boom, but more of losing balance n falling into the sea, which is so common, it doesnt matter much.
I got so much more bruises and cuts for windsurfing than sailing man.
Hmmm.........but seeing the lao jiaos skimming over the water at insane speed, i m rather determined to master this sport. Hopefully can provide some pics nxt time.






"claz" outing

So only 5 pple turned up, ZZ, Teresa, Joyce, Junfeng n me. Tts how busy everyone is. hmmmm.......aniway......kinda nice to meet them again. Got to noe new stuff too. Junfeng became more whiney and sarcastic, and Teresa wore a skirt!!! wow. Actually ar, at one point at the outing, i kind of noticed ZZ and Teresa looked alike, wanted to sae they got fu1 qi1 xiang4, but refrained to try to be tactful....little did i noe....wonder how they will respond if they read this...wahahhaaha.... aniway, more nice food pics frm Azabu Sabo at Marina Square.


Green tea ice cream on red bean wif chewy rice balls


Mountain of super soft ice cream wif fruits, rice balls, red bean and some sweet confectionery(the green n pink tingy)


All the good stuff we ate. The yellow tingy is mango on ice shavings. The mango puree is damn pure and good.

Lesson of the dae: dun visit my blog when u r feelin hungry.






Chill out!!!!!

So into chillout music nowadaes, esp bossa nova kind, prob induced by irritating sch life. Any nice recommendations to intro, pple?






Battling the sea.

This sailing trip last sat can be best described as a battle with the sea and weather.
The conditions r quite rough tt dae, like veri gusty but inconsistent winds, choppy waves and dark ominous skies. Guess this is the worst i've ever seen, but i guess even more demanding conditions will arrive wif the oncoming monsoon season.
Anyway, the veri strong winds was so freakin powerful tt i cld almost feel my laser flying.
We took slightly less than 1 hr to reach the halfway point of Pulau Punggol in run conditions.
The return trip also took 1 hr onli, in close conditions, in spite of the choppy waves formed by the impending storm.



Fighting the strong winds n waves were not easy. We were quite shagged after the 2 hr trip already. Having to keep adjusting our position ensured tt I got sore bottoms and serious muscle aches everywhere. But it was realli worth the effort, experiencing the exhilarating speed as the laser cuts thru the waves. So when is the next sailing trip?








woo.....jus realised tt it is damn dumb to use my lappy to edit my pics.......the colours and lightings r so off.






Just a weird tot

Tot of the dae: do u consider someone who had donated his/her heart to be heartless?






Chocs!!


Purity of black..ahhh....


A hot fave of alot of pple i noe, like what chinese says "precious stuff comes in small quantities", onli 5 thin pieces, but each a delicacy.

Disclaimer: No choc was harmed or wasted in the photog process.






No-lifer

So wat does it mean when i havent posted for so long?
1)It means i cant be bothered
2)It means i have been busy
3)It means my comp broke down
4)It means my connection broke down
5)It means blogger broke down
6)It means i have no life (n so nuting to blog abt)

Heh, guess which of the above is true? Well prob onli 2 and 6, typical complaint of undergrad, which i so sorely understand now. A one wk recess is coming up now, allowin all of us some breathing space, some time to meet up wif one another, some time to rearrange and organise our stuff, some time to reflect on our lives, some time to catch up on our work, some time to find out what the new song we have been listening to is realli about.

Ohhh well, I'm so goin to make full use of this recess that I wont have time left again, wat a paradox.






My very own "Wilson!!"


Saw this poor chap floatin aimlessly in the open sea, decided to save it n provide it wif tender loving care aka Tom Hanks in Castaway (2000). hahaarz






Sailing with Hao Xiang, Ziyang, Benjamin and Jeremy

The weather conditions todae was veri veri gd. Not much sun(cloudy), strong winds, no rain(till when we packed up), what more can i ask for, maybi cept for the wind to be more consistent.
Well, the shifty wind certainly kept me on my toes.....and butt (pple who sail will noe wat i mean), in fact, so shifty tt i have butt abrasion now. Certainly no chance to doze off at all. One moment of distraction and u'll prob cap, which i did once.....or rather twice, thnx to Ziyang *ahem*. Proud to sae tt we cap quite often todae(n most of it r dry caps)
Realli realli amazing how fast lasers can go......witnessed it todae, wif body (any parts above the butt) jus inches away frm the water surface. Realli gd workout for the whole body. haharz......sailing is realli addictive.






HELLUVA WK!!

This wk is cool, and freakin tiring.
Drinkin session wif OG on tues nite, lasted so late tt by the time i went for lessons the nxt dae, i still reek of alcohol and feel like puking.
Ran ard the sch again, faster this time. Meet Fiona, Ying Ying and Jocelyn downstairs, chat till late again.
Thurs- Hall supper, came back at 2 am plus, jus when i was abt to slp at 3, was "forced" to go play mahjong, ended up playin till 6 and owning pple yet another meal. Tot i cld go back n slp liao, met Kenny and tot tt his idea of goin out for breakfast more realistic. So macs breakfast it was and back for lecture straight. Ended up slping through the lecture. Might as well jus skip the lect rite?
So if i were to catch up on my slp deficit this wk-end, i'll prob have to slp through both sat and sun, which is not possible since there is sailing tmr!!!!
yeah yeah yeah.........gd winds tmr!!! (hope i dun fall aslp on the boat).






Hall Supper!!!

Whoot, had this annual hall supper tingy on thurs. it was quite fun, following 2 busloads of people to Bedok Simpang for prata and then Geylang for all the sinful stuff (the edible kind). Was a little, little disappointed cos i tot we wld be realli food hopping all over sg, turned out tt we are going only these 2 places, and most of my frens were already full after the 1st stop.(if onli Yi Liang was there)
But still, managed to eat all the gd stuff in sg which pple overseas now cld only dream about.

Pardon the pic quality, all taken wif k750i

was so hungry tt all the satays were gone b4 i can take out the camera.


Pple in usa!!! missing prata already? this is gd => cheese and banana prata


Lisa eatin maggi mee goreng, not as gd as the one we ate at the batam cableski though

go geylang mus eat durians rite..

n so in addition to all the food above, also ate orrluah (wif hum and hiam of cos) and frog leg porridge which i totally forgotten to take pics of.
Satiated by then.
