Observations and advice as an alumni (in training)

"Alumni" is a good word. Haha. Makes you feel more "senior-ish", even though it may or may not be true. Moreover, "alumni" kinda means you wouldn't have to trouble yourself with all the voting and form-filling and decision making business. And you are excused for posting point-less posts because you can sleep till 9am, and bum around while the rest try to stay awake in class.

So here are some advice for the newbies, and I have no doubt your "seniors" would agree with me. (Seniors, if you don't, start agreeing.)

1. Always put sunblock, for the girls at least. No girl would want to walk around like a banana split (chocolate and vanilla skin-tone), even though banana was our fruit the last time I checked (please inform us if there's a change). Putting sunscreen on your face is extremely important as well, you don't want your skin to pigment pre-maturely (that is, uncontrolled pigmenting before you turn 60). And for the guys, sunblock is said to help prevent skin cancer.

2. Take good care of the equipment. Treat them like how you want to be treated. You wouldn't want to be thrown around too much and break your back right?

3. Prepare a fist aid kit if you are exceptionally injury prone. Some necessities include ointment for bruises (<-- important!), medicated plasters for open wounds and cuts, non-medicated plasters for blisters, water-proof tape for split fingers (a specialty for a particular person), tape for fibre glass splinters removal, sunblock, and aloe vera gel for burnt skin. Depending on your need, Subway and the ice-cream shop across the street provide good first aid services too, when you need healing for your heart.

4. Make hand-to-hand passes. First, we shall define. Hand is defined as a part of our body that is attached to our arm. It measures about 5.5" x 6.5" (dependent on individuals). It usually comes with 5 pertrusions known as fingers and a thumb. Although it may look extremely similar to the head, do not confuse the two, or the consequences can be fatal (concussion follow by capsizing follow by drowning). Note that the head usually has (visible) hair, while the hand does not. With these two confusing parts of the body define, hand-to-head passes would hopefully be minimized.

5. Do your stretches seriously for cool-down. Need I say more? It's for your own good.

That's it for now. More "wisdom" next time. ^^

Canoe Polo 3v3 Week 2 (Juniors) Review

No worries, I already wanted to blog about it last night (Xuan Hao and Jong can be my witness.)><

General Observations and Insights (from the observer's point of view)

1. Another choice in the path of life. When it comes to choosing between you and an umbrella on a hot sunny SUNday, you are, once again, going to be option 2. Forget about how complex, or how biologically intrigueing you may be, you are still in second place. No kids' perks, no senior citizen privilages, no whatever, unless you are a spreading canopy made of who-knows-what. No wonder there's a song written about it... Ella, ella, e, e under my umbrella...

2. When the games end late (or early, if you are talking about two o'clock in the morning), transportation will always be a problem. You will be surprised what interesting topics may arise from that singular topic. Topics may include squeezing WITH girls, sitting on laps, pole dancing, drink driving, etc. One thing is rather certain, transportation functions similarly to alcoholic drinks. The thought of it makes you high. And its usage makes everything around you move.

3. Punctuality is always a virtue. Arriving late means you might have to return home without watching a single game, or stay for hours just to watch ONE game.

4. A cocktail of emotions can occur when watching games (that kinda explains why people enjoy watching those football matches so much). We are really proud to see (or hear from others) that our juniors play so well. Yet at the same time, it is rather demoralizing to know that we are really sucky players *emo-ing*. Still we are proud of your Jellies! ^^

5. Kids or juniors will always have some privilages. It may not be during the games, but certainly so after the games. You have "slaves" to help you carry your boats and paddles. "SENIOR citizens" should have that privilage too. xp

Since I've only watched one game. Can't think of much to write. So go write something on your own. Cheers!
