Canoe Polo 3v3 Day 1 Review

Sorry for the lack of non-sense for the past few months. Can't think of any "skewed common sense" (although Tiong would do a much better job if he were to blog).


Anyway, some interesting stuff that happened and reflections for day 1 of 3v3 2009, mostly for Peanut Butter, but also for 4D and Quickpick.

1. The first team that was playing with us this morning got pretty excited when they learned that they are playing with Peanut Butter. We are still wondering if it was because they thought the name was amusing, or because they knew they can trash us.
Next time, we shall call ourselves Strawberries and come in strawberry-everything (bags, shirts, shorts, what-not. Thinking of vandalizing the paddles too... XP

2. As usual, nice people are everywhere. Lost my paddle because I threw it away trying to catch a ball, which I missed in the end and had to paddle toward it with my hands. The opponent was super duper nice and passed me my paddle. So touched... *tear in the eye*
Lesson learned: being nice to others inspired others to be nice to more people as well. So Yingzhen, stop being so nasty to certain poor soul. Although she's still nice to others.

3. We are not spoilt anymore. A great improvement! We moved our own equipments and take care of our own stuff. Okay, maybe an occassional help from juniors and coaches, but still... Way to go from last competition. (refer to way older posts)

4. Lian Han's hair is soft... Wonder what shampoo and conditioner he uses... Or is chlorinated water plus sun good for short hair?

5. 4D and Quickpick both played well. So proud of them!! Keep it up.

6. I only realized today that we are not paying consession fees anymore. Adult fares are so expensive! When you start paying adult fares, you are not a kid anymore. This is the time when you really wish to remain a kid, at least I wish it.

Pardon the dying off. I am really sleepy. More updates next time. ^^

Skewed common sense

from bio class...

1 good and valid reason to drink lots of beer!

"Accidentally" drink a little methanol (make sure its just a little, any more of it will kill you). Then you can drink as much beer as you like, on the basis that it is necessary to save your life.

This is because methanol poisoning is a result of methanol binding to some enzyme in your body. By introducing alcohol, it reduces the chances of this binding as alcohol shares a similar structure as methanol. The O-H on both molecules compete for binding at the binding-site of the enzyme. As we learn in biology, in competitive inhibition, the substrate with the higher concentration has a higher rate of sucess at binding. Drinking lots of beer increases the concentration of alcohol in your body, reducing the rate of sucessful methanol binding, and thus reducing the risk of methanol poisoning.

WARNING: Methanol is a dangerous chemical to triffle with, especially when you are consuming it. And while you may not die from methanol poisoning, alcohol overdose can kill you, in various methods.
