Sports

Have been running quite a bit..last Thu & Sat morning...have been pondering over should we join Marathon this year?Out of 9 runners who ran the 05's full marathon , most are in 2 minds to join again this year, excuses ranges from the pain, heat, torturous and timing issues...one story originates from instructor about running our own country's marathon, get the full picture from her...guess, its addictive in a way that the thought of running the full will slowly seep into ur mind & germinate from there, especially u hv a bunch of zany gals who wans to suffer together and not alone..so the more pple to suffer with u, the more u enjoy the experience..true?? so let's influence everyone to run together!

Today is the last day for early bird sign-up for pple who ran last year...so see if i would click on the website later...and the direct mailer is just sitting right in front me..those who are interested can go to Marathon

30 July - Windsurfing

Okay, not a right and enthu mood abt learning this, thanks to the boring theory lessons & simulator, the fun part was battling the big waves due to the choppy weather, elab later..Have to tell you that we were quite amazed how passionate the windsurfers..how they ran to take their rigs & boards & chiong to the sea..and sail all for a fantastic & wild 20 mins just before a storm...and wait out till the next storm to do this all over again..

Though the condition is superb for experienced windsurfers, it's poor beginners' nightmares... we were constantly battling against crashing waves, avoiding each other, avoiding the breakwater, trying not to slip on the board, trying to haul the heavy sail up & not toppling together with the sail.

Finally, attempts after attempts of clambering onto the slippery board, and balancing against the tossing waves, we sailed!! Lulu was the first one as usual to get it going...erm.. one way...then it was Roy who always have the 'never-say-die' attitude who also sailed one way..all dunno how to come back..so funny..Then it was me!..hee..one way too...great fun, but a lot of effort to learn this sport. Tougher than sailing or wakeboarding, glad i'm conquering the water sports one by one..cos i used to be so afraid of water i don't dare to try..
