jux home frm supplementary... hahas... ok... like janelle... gonna give a recount on rosyth's 1st 2007 sailing session...

well... i do miss NSC (National Sailing Centre) and uncle george(our previous coach) and uncle eddy(our previous coach but teaching other schools now) and uncle francis(our long, long ago coach but i think he retired alr)... uncle george is really fierce but fun and nice... hahas...

so...met the coach & then he ask " who has opti racer(a qualification that allows you to race for the school) alr?" and u believe it!?!! i was the only 1 wif racer. terrible... cos benedict got tuition & went to train w/o the school, dhruv is training on weekends i think, lingying and jazlene also trained w/o the school i think... i cant believe aaron doesnt have racer!!!!!!! then coach ask " are you the captain?" of course, he said it in chinese... and i was like " err... no... our school no captain..." in english cos my chinese is terrible...

hahas. then we had a swimming test!! yeah...it rocked. the water so cold. then we hadda take out our booties & get into the water. luckily i kept my specs in my bag... they wld probably have fallen into the deep end of the pool...hahas...swam wif janelle... it rocked... i thought it wld have been in the sea cos at nsc, we hadda swim to the mark & back. obviously... CSC(changi sailing club) had different settings.

rigging up the boat was fun... hahas... we hadda take our own sails & rudder & daggerboard...had lotsa fun...then at nsc, they wld have rigged the main sheet up alr, all we hadda do was clip it to the sail. but at csc, i was the only 1 who was taught how to do it. so i was like " small,big,small" (the different pulleys).. then the others were like "hah?" i SO do not believe they didnt learn... hendrik fell over the drain and scraped his shin & he sat out of sailing. he was lucky. wind was extra strong that day...

janelle & i were sailing the same boat... she was shaking the rudder alot and i was yelling " i dun wanna die yet" scary, but it was really fun...hahas. then when we were gonna hit aaron, i yelled " STARBOARD(a term for the right side of the boat.)" but he nvr clear course and banged into me & janelle... starboard is always the right side of way. port(left side of the boat) has to give way to starboard. anyway, i was sailed starboard, and janelle sailed port. i dun care... i ALWAYS wanna sail starboard... hahas... fun...

things i love about nsc that csc doesnt have

-uncle george
-uncle eddy
-uncle francis
-light boats
-a great view from the beach
-minimart for after sailing hours

things i love about csc that nsc doesnt have

-a fab swimming pool wif cold water(tried to push janelle in...hahas)
-HOT water in the bathroom
-hairdryers
-bench to sit/put yr stuff in the bathroom

NSC rocks so much more than CSC... but i dun exactly like sailing.especially regattas. watch out, aaron... next time you bang into me while i'm sailing starboard, i'll make you do penalty...oh yeah... janelle, watch out too. i'll push you into the pool next time...hahas...
we dun even noe the coach's name... when we said thanks to him, we were like " err... thanks coach" hahas... 1 whole lesson with him & we dunno his name...RIDICULOUS... his english is erratic!!! hahas... he pronounced "north, south, east, west" as "nosst,sousst,eass,waii-stt" omg... i could hardly understand him luh... lols... dumb...
