CIP

Hello people! Here are some updates about CIP, since some of you actually asked me what we are/might be doing.

Mr Sim is currently liaising with the Waterways Watch Society (a bunch of volunteers who aim to educate the public on the importance of keeping the waterways clean..) Yup, that doesn't really help much in telling us what we can do to help. So, we'll be meeting up with them probably after the comp & exams. Meanwhile, do suggest some ideas in which we can collaborate with the WWS for CIP. We can bring up these ideas during the meeting.

Go to this website to find out more abt WWS! (:

Canoe polo scene over here...

I'll add a post just because this blog is so dead. So someone better comment or something.

Alright so there isn't canoe polo over here (not in my school at least). People get so intrigued when I mention it. The usual conversation would go like this:

"I played canoe/kayak polo in high school."
"Canoe/kayak polo??"
"Yup!"
"What's that?!"

As some of you may know, I like to talk alot. So I came up with the following description:
"It's like playing basketball in the canoe/kayak in the water with a soccer net in the air."

Although now that I'm writing it, it occured to me that I can expand on that:
"(whatever mentioned above)... And you have to wear padded lifevest and helmet. Not that that will save you from drowning, but they're definitely handy to avoid those flying paddles and violent players (and sometimes the ball)!" ;)

CP old days

The Ball Religion

inspired by Jackson

Brief Description
The Ball Religion (to be refered to as BR) refers to the general worship of balls, especially blue-and-yellow balls, commonly known as the canoe polo ball.


The belief in detail
Like all gods, The Ball would usually be given lots of space. Believers believe that the BR god (ie. the ball) is sacred, and that unholy palms should avoid touching it, unless necessary.

Believers also believe that keeping the BR god for extended period of time is a crime. They believe that their god is for the community. And thus BR believers would attempt to divert their god to another individual almost immediately upon the god's visit.

While believers try to maintain their distance with their god, they believe that it is extremely sinful to leave the BR god unattended to. Attempts may be made to bring the god to his/her possession. However believer would be happier to have someone else to house the formidable god.

When bringing in the god, believers do it with the most gentle manner. When the god is within handreach, believers are likely to molest it, testing for its intentions. When the god is out of handreach believers are likely to tap it with the paddle. In all circumstances, believers would be more than happy if someone else would intercept and steal their god. At this point, we must understand the BR god is extremely temperamental, and believers would not want to have their god when he is in his less-than-sunny mood.


A believer's privilages
A believer to BR would be granted with the ability to maintain minimal blisters, callous, and injuries in general. Moreover, believers would be free from attacks, such as hand-tackle, illegal paddle, or dangerous paddle. Believers usually live through a simple, danger-free life.


Dangers and tradeoffs
Tempting as BR sounds, believers would usually be subjected to boredom, and in extremely circumstances, shoutings from "the higher being".
Moreover, the BR god is a very jealous god. By believing in BR, one has to give up his/her other beliefs such that BR is the only religion he/she believes in and practises.


To take up the Ball-Religion or not, the decision lies in you.

Results & Goals

RESULTS

Men
NUS High vs. Meet the TPians: 3-1
NUS High vs. SPB: 0-5

Women
NUS High vs. NTU 1: 0-5
NUS High vs. Redtide Ladies: 0-11
NUS High vs. Black Crooks (NUS): 0-7

Goals
Look out for the goal-setting space in the Canoe Polo Room(beside the bball court) that will be up soon!!! So that everyone can stay focused on what they want to achieve!

Just a supplement note: sometimes what we want to do or things that we like to do may change... & our goals change, so it's perfectly alright to change your intermediate goals, or review your long-term goals.

Ask yourself why you are here in Canoe Polo! The answer will help you in setting your goal ;)
