Had the J1s CCA Recruitment yesterday. The figures are astonishing! 79 people actually signed up with Canoeing! I bet the number will half by next Monday! Hehe...

Went for sea training yesterday. My first sea training in 2005! Really looking forward to it. Felt really nice going to Kallang from school. Once again, I slept in the bus. New Canoeing teacher - Ms Chua.

-Bad training
-Strong current
-Got pissed with yf
-She wasn't feeling tired after laps (5k)
-I was almost dead
-Told her that she can't depend only on me to paddle
-BM and Sharon heard it
-Coach made us paddle 3 more rounds cos we went to shore
-Really pissed with Yf cos she doesn't seem to be putting her best
-Finally caught up with BM & Sharon in the 2nd round
-was only cos BM's cap flew off
-Was putting alot of power to pace with them from the start, but they overtook us in the end
-Shouted at Yf, cos I felt she was slacking
-She told me that she did try to overtake them
-Hard to believe her, cos though I was putting in alot of power, boat didn't move significantly faster
-Told her that I've been putting alot of power since we caught up with them
-She shutted up
-Did 1000m sprint
-Could feel that she did try to paddle harder, but slacked off near the end
-Tried to compensate, but was not really effective, cos I was also tired by then
-Tide was super low when we got up
-Cut myself, foot kept sinking into the mud
-Hate it
-After Coach's debrief, I asked him will Yf be my partner?
-Kinda straightforward i think
-Asked me if i want her to be my partner - ans was definitely a no
-didn't need to ans, cos team girls answered it for me. lol
-lina said, "out of 10 girls, 9 girls don't like her. out of 6 guys, 6 guys don't like her"
-found it really funny
-coach told us that the partners are not confirmed yet
-will have a talk with her (Lina said that it must be an extraordinary one)
-cos she wouldn't listen
-He said that I need to throw my shoulder forward more
-cos though i'm powerful, my arms aren't that long
-he pointed out alot of Yf's mistakes (Yea!)
-most of them leading to the rocking of boat
-daph paddled lancer
-way funny and tiring for her
-was "like a tiny girl paddling all by herself"

Thur
-Land training
-Super tiring
-4 rounds of circuits (push-ups, crunches, jumping jack, dips - 100m jog, 100m sprint)
-3 sets of weights circuit
-timing sucks - 3.33 (29), 3.13 (31), 3.17 (28)
-coach came down for a nice long debrief
-told us how partners should work together (whose fault when capsize, working as one...)
-daph, xb, bm and lina were like all smiling when he mentioned it
-couldn't help but laugh when i glanced at them
-found out that coach asked daph about yf
-she told him that she wouldn't listen, and that she looks down on me?
-xb also told him that it was a waste putting me with her
-maybe trying out with lina this sat, but gotta get used to rudder
-again, the threesome had a nice long chat, while sitting at the netball court, then bus stop
-knew about alphabets and depression better
-J1s coming in next Mon
-Can't wait to see how they torture them =)
