today's training for sailing rocked lah! :D

its like, even though i was screaming my lungs out like 7/8 during the practice races (cos the wind was so strong), even though i kept almost capsizing, even though aunty yvonne kept telling me to remain calm, even though this and that yadayada, i still managed to NOT capsize.

meaning, not capsize DURING the race okay.

but before that, during launching i capped once, while sailing to the training area i capsized about 4 times in a row. then when i reached the training area, while trying to jybe i capped, again!

thats what i find weird, i mean, during practice races, even though i feel like i'm gonna cap anytime soon, i still managed not to. and while sailing NOT during practice races? i dont wanna cap and i dont feel like i would but end up i will -_-

anyway,
today's wind was SUPER strong. i think almost worse than Tuesday's wind.

but yet i kept getting like top 3 during the practice. the only person that kept beating me was Wenfeng, and of course, the seniors in team2. lol.

the first race David capsized infront of me while on a reach, and i was like screaming my head off. it was so heng that i didnt capsize. then when i won him he say it was tyco. then the next race i won him again, this time, no capsizing. HAHA. damn funny. he was quite bu fu qi lah, still insisted that next race he will win me. Then the third one he caught up with me while the wind was screwed up (one moment its light, then suddenly its damn strong again). But i managed to win him still by a lot :D

i mean, its like i hardly beat him during training lah! i was so shocked i won him every single race today. it must be my lucky day :D even during the last race (uncle thomas told us race back to shore and we all were like "SHIOK LAH!" cos we didnt hear of "race back to shore" before) i won him.

the last race back to shore i had a very bad start. when i started, the wind was screwed up. David was blocking my wind. Ningxin was shouting "Windward boatttttt!!!!!". i was like "shit, bad starting man!"

then end up i kinda got caught in irons. i mean, right infront of i think the singapore sports school optimist trainer you know (at least i think it was them)! both of them! i was so freaked out, and paisei.

then i kept pointing, bearing, blahblah and i gained back speed. but i was already last cos of that lah! okay, wait, Aaron was still behind me.

then i went off damn fast cos i kept bearing down and catching wind, then i caught up with Darren, then i tacked up and caught up with the rest. and when i got back to shore, i was like the 4th from team2 to reach shore! :D so happy with myself. First was Linjie, then Peckkhee, Ningxin and then me.

Unrigging was a success. tho Wenfeng slacked off again once he was done with his boat. he was like wanna go off, standing there complaining, then Siungee asked him to help since he was so free.

we finished unrigging at 6.15pm! :D

from 6.30pm finish become 6.15pm. not bad huh? Aaron said if we kept this up it'd be good.

I LOVE TODAY'S WIND AND I WANT IT FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY'S REGATTA! :D

haha, not to curse those who dont like strong wind lah. but i think i'm beginning to love strong wind, and esp since i gained back a lot of interest towards sailing, well, this shall be interesting. heh heh heh.
