yoohoo people!

umm, just want to shout out to all those who are good at drawing or designing to start sending your designs in for the kayak tee shirt. :D yeah. since the seniors have their tee shirts already, let's have one too. umm. try to design something that will go with preferbably any colour so that it'll be less troublesome to change the designs and all. but if you think that your design can only go well with this certain tee shirt colour, do include the colours alright. yeah. try to minimise the colours used for the design. send in as many designs as you can and at the end of the day we'll vote for the design, colour, type of shirt, etc.

but but but, this is not as important as the jersey. yeah.

if you have nice fonts for the jersey, do feel free to send in too. so that we can all vote for it. so yeah. currently, we're thinking of having black and navy jerseys since we got to make 2. but do suggest more colours if you want then we'll pick from there.

and if you've got any good deals, do let us know too. :D

so, let the designs and suggestions keep coming in. let's have our jerseys and tee shirts really really soon! :D

and by the way, us refers to the team. all decisions will be finalised after voting so that it's fair. (:

HAVE FUN DURING SPORTS CARNIVAL LATER! :D

JIAYOU TO THE SENIORS WHO ARE HAVING COMPETITION! ((:

Okay this is kind of late into the night, and I doubt anyone will read this, but this is for future trainings (:

ATTIRE:
Wednesday - Yellow Orientation Tee
Thursday - Black Orientation Tee
Saturday - NY PE Tee

So kindly dress accordingly to the days. Sorry that we have to wear the Orienation Tees again cause PE lessons are starting and so if we were to wear them twice a week then those with only one tee won't have enough to go through the week. So yah, sorry for all inconvenience caused.

As for the duties that Mr Low requested, we've already planned them out already.

Attendance: AiLin
Lockers: MaoChen
Counting of paddles and lifejackets: LiLing, AiLin will help her when she's done with it. They will put the bags into the lockers as well.
*As for the rest, you will help with loading the boats.
Warm Up: ZiXian (Jiayou, and learn it from Chor Theng)
Traffic: Joey and Grace
Paddles: AiLin and Audrey
Shoring: Liling

KAYAK TRAINING**

Shoring: Liling
Paddles: AiLin and Audrey
Traffic: Joey and Grace
Washing of life jackets: John and Khairul (John to wash, Khairul to hang them) *Duty includes moving bag out of locker too.
*Mao Chen have to open all locks required.
Washing of paddles: AiLin and Audrey (paddles to be washed before the boats come back)
Washing of boats: AiLin and Audrey *The rest will help to move the boats
Racking: ChorTheng
Cool Down: ZiXian
*In the case of when there's no one's taking the duty, someone do take initiative to take over.

Oh. Anyway, It's been decided that we will take 100 to Kallang instead of 853 cause it is faster, so we will be meeting early so as to walk to Serangoon Interchange on time.

Wednesday's Training:
Attire: Yellow Orientation Tee
Meet @ swing at the back of canteen 2.45pm sharp. Late comers will not be entertained.
Things to bring: 1 litre water bottle, shoes, slippers, toiletries, clothings, etc.

Let's Jiayou for training (: If you have questions, do bring it out on the tagboard! (:

was about to blog about the unofficial training excitedly but guess i'll just give that a miss. no mood at all already.

way to go, liling! :D

vincent, you're reall fast! :D

john, jiayou jiayou jiayou! :D

weikok, take care of that huge blister! :D

joey, buy a bigger pair of shoes though your shoes are nice to run in! :D

jie huang, you're still as fast and you don't perspire alot! :D

i promise i will not do abs exercises during unofficial trainings anymore. and even if i do, i will not tell anyone else about it.

ahh, whatever.

who's on for kayak lunch, with j1s and j2s on thursday, during common lunch break, in the canteen? good chance for all of us to get to know each other. tag on the board alright. thanks.

Sunday, 25 March 2007

23:46

ok. so there'll be unofficial training tomorrow. it's NOT compulsory for all. and if you can't make it or don't want to join us, you can have your own training. it's totally fine. (:

we'll have training after school. running. and if the sun's too hot, we'll do exercises or go to the gym first. it all depends on the situation.

i know running before school is better and waste less time. but some people need sleep. some do not want to shower in school. and we go by the majority votes. (only those who are interested to train.) so yeah, for the rest, you guys can arrange among yourselves. what matters most is we put in the effort. so jiayou!

can't wait for water training! :D

09:59

oh yes oh yes oh yes. you guys want to run tomorrow? either before school or after school. yeah. please tag on the board if you want to, or just message me. :D yeah. let's do either 2.4 with timing or endurance running! :D

09:02

hohoho. no punishments yesterday! great job. but umm, i was late. -.- haha. mass capsizing is not fun at all. but good thing we didn't make it worse. it's really woah to hear all the jiayou! you can do it! and all the encouragements.

it's tough trying to jump onto the boats yourself when the boat's filled with water, especially when we're taking t1s.
it's tough trying to rescue someone else and emptying that boat filled with water cause it's really heavy.
it's tough trying to hold on to many paddles in the water while trying to wait for someone to rescue you.
it's tough trying to speed things up when this is our first mass capsize and the time's running.

but but but. WE DIDN'T GIVE UP AT ALL! :D

even though alvin's boat was filled with so much water, only the tip is on the surface of the water
even though maocheng tried so many times to get up the boat but failed. but but but he eventually got onto the boat. just that there was so much water and the boat sank. x=
even though liling's boat was so heavy, no one had the strength to empty the water for her.
even though it was quite chaotic at that point of time.
even though we couldn't quite complete it in umm, so called one minute.

but but but. WE DID IT! WE COMPLETED THE MASS CAPSIZE DRILL! :D :D :D

continue to jiayou! ((:

and woah. haobin's really good. me and joey agreed! it's his first time using the t1 and he rowed like he wasn't scared at all. even when the waves came, he didn't fumble at all. -claps claps-

and i can still remember guan li's stunned look when we sang him the birthday song and presented him with the cake! thanks everyone for playing along and singing so loudly! ((:

jiayou new ics! :D maocheng! we all have high hopes on you! :D :D :D

and wei han. it'll be your turn next time alright. i have high expectations of you too! :D :D :D

Saturday, 24 March 2007

00:06

oh yes. sorry for not being clear about the attire. seems like many people are confirming it. so so so sorry. i'll be clear next time and just message you guys to remind. :D sorry!

Friday, 23 March 2007

23:47

JOHN! bring your shorts!

anyway, jiayou for training tomorrow though our arms are aching. our thighs are aching. but we're so not going to give up so easily right? no matter how tough trainings are going to get. we will not give up, fall out and go home so easily. we'll support one another. be it 5 min plank. 4 sets of 5 min of terrace jumping or many many many push ups. we will encourage each other and push each other to go further. we will not and must not give up so quickly alright.

we may not be as fit as the j2s, but we'll train hard! so please keep coming for trainings unless with really really valid reasons!

random. but i just realised the blog background is white. haha. slow. no. it's still blue. slower. -.-

alright, so continue to motivate each other. encourage each other. push each other. :D we're strong strong strong! physically and mentally. cannot give up so easily! jiayou jiayou jiayou!

i hope there'll be no punishments tomorrow. x=

oh yes. please do remember to keep a notebook and write down the things you've learnt from cher alright. (:

and remember:
TRAINING'S TOUGH, BUT WE'RE TOUGHER! :D

Wednesday, 21 March 2007

21:36

Monday, 19 March 2007

22:53

Grace is DOMINATING the blog.. hahahaha

Saturday, 17 March 2007

22:29

SOMEONE START POSTING BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE SAYS I'M DOMINATING THE BLOG. -_-"

goodness. the more i think of today's training the more i feel like laughing. did you all realise today's like the training where we laughed the most, openly, with cher?

khairul's totally funny! haha. first, cher spoke to him in chinese. no. shouted at him in chinese. then when cher asked him to capsize, his seat capsized with him! haha. to think we saw the seat coming out and we didn't even realize it's the seat. cher's reaction was super funny. 'EH. WHERE'S YOUR SEAT?'

alvin and his tilt what? body ar. haha.

and the bee hoon session after training! so many people eating one packet of bee hoon. 2 people sharing a fishball. haha. we must be really hungry!

more bee hoon sessions! (: haha. without someone looking at us, all the time. x=

and the rest who didn't come. GET WELL SOON! the most each of us eat lesser bee hoon! must come. ((:

Friday, 16 March 2007

23:20

ahhh. someone please post. don't just tag. anyway. i called all the non 1 star people on the list. haha. so little people picked up! and most of them are not joining. ): there are some who sounded really nice but they haven't decide if they should join or not! >.<

anyway, mao cheng. seriously, i am so very glad to see you wanting to go for training so badly. or at least you sound like you really want to go! no more rumours about you wanting to join ~~another cca.~~ or go to poly or whatever. bluff me somemore. -.-

alright. anyway, a huge shoutout to everybody. :D please continue to encourage each other, be it the first or second intakers. we want to see the new and old faces every training. (: unlike the first intake where so many people came the first few times and in the end, only some of us stay. let us grow and stay strong alright. ((: do not do not do not demoralize anybody, directly or indirectly. and please please please please do not have internal conflicts. whatever grudges or conflicts that are not related to the team or training, leave it til out of training time alright. (:

marists! we are now all in nanyang junior college. :D so don't make the rest feel so left out. tsk!

wei mun should come back. should come back. should come back. )):

we need more girls!

Thursday, 15 March 2007

22:11

hey. sorry chor theng. i didn't mean to shout at you. but yeah. what i was trying to tell you is that training's supposed to be serious. not that we cannot talk or laugh at all. but don't do it so openly and loudly. if everyone were to do it, we'll definitely slow down cause instructions cannot be heard and all. yeah. i hope you get what i was trying to tell you just now. time was running out and i thought that laughing was a little too loud. so sorry. don't bear grudges.

anyway. great job guys for the training today. our first own training, planned by chor theng and without the j2s. but it seemed really really weird without the j2s. >.< got to move faster so that we'll be able to finish whatever that's planned on time so that we'll not go home late.

anyway, the team's really getting bigger and bigger. we need to have another round of introduction and all. when the team's more or less confirmed alright.

ok. training on saturday.

23:30

i just remembered something and this is so totally important too. what has happened to wei mun's appeal. why is everyone appealing in already and they're already in the school and we still have no news about wei mun's appeal. people didn't even appeal through kayak and all and they got in. what about wei mun. ahhhhh. what's happening. are they going to call her to tell her she's in? i miss her loads. her laughter. her huge dimples. where is she? someone get her back! unfair. why can't they let wei mun in instead of other people without good cca record and nice laughter?! ahhhhhhh.

chor theng! stop jatturapatarapong-ing! ah gua language! BAKA LA YOU!

I WANT WEI MUN TO BE BACK! ):

22:52

HEY. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT IT HAS TO BE IN CAPS. HAHA.

WANT TO HAVE KAYAK LUNCH BEFORE WATER TRAINING ON WEDNESDAY? COME TO THINK OF IT. NONE OF THE MARISTS JOINED US FOR OUTING OR LUNCH BEFORE. SO, WANT TO HAVE ONE? BEFORE MORE NEW FACES APPEAR, LET'S CHERISH THIS CHANCE! HAHAHA.

SO, LUNCH ON WEDNESDAY? PLEASE REPLY ON THE TAGBOARD OR POST YOUR REPLIES! THANKS. :D

22:11

woohoo! it's so good to see the tagboard so alive and the new template's way cool!

thanks ailin! :D

anyway. the unofficial training today was only decided on sunday night. so yeah, a little late. supposed to have five people. then chor theng couldn't make it and i don't know where mao cheng went. so. no worries. it became a 3 people training only. let's have more unofficial trainings!
