hermes the bureaucrat.

matriculation in 3 days. i hope i start getting the hang of all this soon.

just got back from gym. and since i have some time to myself. i decided to blog.
drenched from being in the rain on a bike. mom's been giving me shit for reiding on motherbikes. but honestly. i'll choose my mode of transport thank you.

oh on a good note<----- i typed that before i made a phone call.
fugggggggggggggg. the sa sailing thing is on wed and thurs. so i can only get work on wed.
i kept thinking it was tue wed as opposed to wed thur. sigh. another 200 gone.

disclaimer: 420 and 470 are not numbers but boats. a type of boat.

err..somewhere last week. chin and rence won the youth worlds 420 boys title in busan, korea.
not bad huh. roy and dahui only did 2nd 2 years ago or smth. now the trophy is in singapore.
double handed sailing in singapore is going in the right direction for sure.

okay im not gonna show off or anything okay. im just gonna state some sad facts of life.
tan wearn haw. khor teck lin. chen dexian. koh seng leong. roy tay. me. xu yuan zhen. teo wee chin.
one after another. we were the opti champs in our own time. optimist is the boat which is for under 15s. sec3 was my last year in that class.
wearn haw was former sportsboy of the year. sea games gold medallist. olympian
tecklin and dexian won sea games gold or silver. then quit after graduating.
sengleong was a 470 crew in the olympics with wearnhaw. going to sea games this year favourite for gold in the laser class.
roy came second in the youth worlds in 420. won bronze in the last asian games.
yuan zhen is poised to qualify for the sea games in 470 this year at roys expense cos he beat roy at kieler woche regatta in germany.
wee chin came in 3rd at the opti worlds in qingdao. and now is the current youth world champion in 420.

now. how did i put myself in such good company and not win any major trophy u ask?
i chose a levels and ocs in army over sailing. WOW. BRILLIANT CHOICE CAI.

sengleong. my good buddy got aacc for his a's too. wearnhaw and tecklin were from rj.
sengleong me weechin roy all in vj. so academically they cant be that bad right?. haha.
