Now that the competitions for C division are over, I now must concentrate on my studies! =D
Since Tuesday, all the sailors have not been doing any studying, so oh well. But now my parents have been nagging about my cca affecting my studies, and now I must put in double effort to prove to them that even though I spend more time sailing than studying these few days, my standard for studies will still be the same! JIAYOUS i tell myself.
Today the B division did really well.
THIRD among all the schools for B Div! We were all so shocked. Well, maybe not all, because its not by luck that they got 3rd. They are like, professionals compared to us in sailing. Its not luck, its the fact that they got skill. Oh well, now I must train harder, as the sailors are going for another REGATTA soon in August!
Really looking forward to it... I think its called Pesta Sukan regatta. From the MF gallery photos. haha. But after the Interschools we have a 2 week break from sailing, and after that we only have about 2 weeks to train before the Pesta Sukan. Lets just hope that the C Div [including me, duh] trains harder so that we could at least get good positions for the races?
Peck Khee is moving onto byte soon. I heard Lin Jie was too, until Mrs Sidhu felt he had a problem with his attitude for sailing. From what Mrs Sidhu and Ms Cheng told us, Lin Jie's sail was flapping most of the time, and he was actually spending most of his time slacking in the boat and dunno why, but he was also bailing water, throughout the whole few races! Mrs Sidhu said she could see Lin Jie from land, cos she brought binoculars along.
Today since the C Div didn't sail, we spent most of our time at the so-called 'hall' of NSC.
This morning when we were at school waiting for the bus to bring us to NSC, the sky started getting darker and darker...
It was like, night time, except the sky was slightly lighter than at night. At least we could sorta clearly see your hands when we were at school waiting. But it was, really really dark.
When the students assembled, we were still waiting for the bus. So we went out onto the car park of the school and waved our hands up in the air and exclaimed about how dark the sky was and how they might hoist up the AP over A [or I think its H] flag at NSC, so that we could go home. LOL
As soon as the bus came and we boarded, it started to rain. When we got to NSC, the rain still wasn't that heavy, but as soon as we got our stuff and sat at the hall of NSC for a while, it started to really pour!
Nicholas took out his Uno cards [Winnie the Pooh version! =D ] and we all started playing. The seniors took out their poker cards and played games like teiti, blackjack etc. We stayed there for a while, and finally we went to the outside of the auditorium of NSC to play Uno, which meant outside at pond there, we always called it.
Mrs Sidhu saw us playing as she walked pass, and she went "Wah, how come your cards got Winnie the Pooh on it somemore!" and she took the cards in my hand to examine it. She seemed a bit shocked it was not the normal, old red and whie Uno. Then she returned the cards to me and left. Haha.
Then after that we had fried rice, and we went back to the hall for breifing. Then as soon as the breifing was over, we went to help the seniors rig up their boats. It was still drizzling then, and everyone got really wet and stuff.
After that, the boys stayed in the hall, and the girls went to 'hibernate' in the "bags area" in the girls' toilet. LOL. We chatted a bit, and listened to music and played our handphone games and stuff, and Mrs Sidhu came in and we talked a bit more about people in sailing, what we felt during the competition, and since Luo Ling was the only B Div girl with us then, Mrs Sidhu asked her how she felt, and gave her some [as ms cheng said] 'motherly advice' to Luo Ling. haha.
Then they announced for the Optimist sailors to launch first, and Laser and Byte sailors had to wait for further notice. Then when the seniors launched, the winds were so strong! Ning Xin and I gasped at each other as we saw everyone hiking out like mad, and we were like, "OMG I want to sail in this wind okay! This wind is like, fabulous!!! I AM ITCHING TO SAIL!!!" even though we only had not sailed for about, one night and a few hours into the morning. But seriously, the wind was FANTASTIC! As soon as some sailors from other schools launched thier boats [mrs sidhu called them, the sotong sailors] into the sea, they capped. LOL. We were really itching to sail in that strong wind as people started to capsize even before they got onto their boats lol.
Then the day went past, we had pizza [i only had one slice cos I accompanied Lu Xin to go sit down and watch the byte sailors sail in that oh-so-strong-wind and she didn't wanna go back], we did homework, listened to music, slacked and watched the boys play soccer, then we played Aaron's yoyo, and I played frisbee with Quin and Aaron, then when the boys were playing soccer they kicked the ball over and it landed onto the rocks, and they had to go down to get it. About 3 times they did that. And the 3rd time? Well, lets just say I was wondering why the boys stayed at the 'ledge' of sand mourning, then I looked over and saw their soccerball floating in the sea. LOL.
We waited a while before the tide washed it in and it got caught in the rocks. It took the guys a really long time to retrieve the ball lor!!! LOL.
Okay shall post tomorrow... very tired now. Better pack my bootes and sailing camp shirt for tomorrow, as the seniors are wearing their SCHOOL UNIFORM AND TIE for the prize presentation, while we watch on jealous in our SAILING CAMP TEE. hmph.
Bye! =D
