the past week

the week has passed so fast...been a busy week esp with work...here is some update for the blog...=)

went to marina barrage to watch the singapore arts festival fringe show at marina barrage, helios. it was crowded, as expected. the performance is more of an acrobatic plus pyrotechnics, with a huge praying mantis (i suppose) as its main props and the performers on stilts...some parts were boring...or maybe i was tired form the dragonboat? nearly doze off while standing...haha...its the finale fireworks for the performance the most captivating...the momentary captivating lights of the fireworks...c",)





















during the week, i managed to do the 三太子. its actually a paper cutout plus folding. its a postcard that my colleague got for us from taiwan. so in order not to spoil the postcard, we scanned and re-printed it on A4 and did out "art & craft"...quite cute...hehe...





















in the mid week, colleagues from our shanghai office came over for some projects coordination, happen that one of the new projects, i am involved. it was a hectic 3 days affair. been brain storming with them on the new project intensively. owing to them, i managed to go to china club for lunch. haha...my boss's treat. good aerial view towards the west esp our PSA port...food was good too and filling...haha...burp...















finally comes the weekend...spend my sat at gym then new found activity dragonboat...been having a more physical sat...hmm..."physical torture"...haha...then sunday went to watch angels & demons at iluma with my sis...since its the 1st time she watched there...hmm the show is quite fast action...more of a action packed movie now i guess...hmm cannot really remember the story that i have read a yr back...haha...poor memory...





















thats all...guess next week will be another busy week...jia you to me & everyone else c",)

my 1st dragonboat attempt

had my 1st dragon boat attempt yesterday...with my bro, ben, jioing me a few times to join him...only now then i think i shld be at the min fitness level to join bah and also i'm not a swimmer, which now i managed to swim half a lap...haha...cos was expecting the training to be xiong...but the "dry" exercise was quite relax...except for the sprinting part...haha...


then comes to the rowing...ben briefly taught me the strokes b4 getting into the boat...and I was as gong as a sotong...i was assigned the left rower and the last pair...hmm tot my master side shld be right...but watever...the 1st few rows was trying to adjust my strokes n posture...some how not used to twisiting my torso...ended up leaning forward...no wonder after awhile my lower back start to ache...then they have individual pair rowing to check strokes n form...haha...stress sia...cos like some solo show lor...haiz...but heck lar tried my best...


this training the team was focusing on long strokes and have to stretch...like learning how to run b4 walking...at least there were pockets of rest then during the 1st half...after that was long distance run down...think was abt 1km...up down a few times...quite xiong...was not used to the rowing n stuff...kinda of having a bad lower back ache and some abrasion...worst still today whole back aching n butt aching...haha...no wonder they all have the colourful cushion pad...


haha...ben just msn me saying that jit khoon (the steersman) said that i am doing good and thought i have rowed before, or at least paddled in the canoe or something...maybe cos i tried my best...not to lose ben's face??? anyway thanks bro for letting me using his 1st paddle.
