2 days of highly intensed body bashing!!

Clear skies, a great morning, wonderful breeze... It all happened on a beautiful saturday morning 21 Jan 2006... After or before breakfast with my family, I will go for an exercise at ECP... It was not to be that very day. 9.45 was my reporting time to work!... Canvessing for DND is getting into 3rd gear. DND in fact is a very interesting and integral part of the hall... and truth is alot of money is needed to be raised and spent. Since, a large amount requires to be raised, little thoughts are raised by the seniors when it comes to the welfare. And it seems that alot of us have little morale to carry on...

PNP seems more appropriate for the commitee name; pay and pay. I think more welfare culture has to be inbued, e.g. getting at least 10% earnings, funds waived. Looking at the insensible part of the whole is that, we are trying to raise funds and at the same time we are putting out money inside. Sounds like placing your own bet and winning your own money to treat your friends? Work culture can be improved by giving welfare, human beings will be willing to work, in return, more funds + happier people + bonded commitee. I don't really care if any DND people read this, I am just seeing it the way many people are, don't you think so?

This time it's coke light's canvessing, the overall experience will be illustrated below.
I was told to be LABOUR when I reached. I will probably understand why. =X We got our free pair of GenX shirt. If you don't know GenX is an events company. It started out slow, things were just all on trial in the morning. The target of this company is to issue 16000 coke light bottles. yes! 10 raise to the power of 4. in total, we have 22 people, 12 issuers, 10 labourers! Everyone was pretty enthusiastic at the start. The pace was upped at 1pm, went supply can't meet demand of distributing. It was pretty awful, place was in the mess, everyone was hurrying to meet the demand! 1/2 hour later, a distribution pattern shows, things gets efficient! I am quite impressed of everyone's speed and enthusiasm. I surely didn't see any lazy bums around! It was fun and tiring experience, especially knowing of my training with trifam the next day... It feels awful! LABOURER means, carrying cartons of cokes from the road side, pick and unwist bottles of coke. Every muscle in my limbs are worked that day...

Sunday! Cloudy skies at approx 5.30am... The night before, I had prepared my kit for training. It was one of the most exciting trip I will have. 100KM up Peninsular malaysia Desaru. 6.30a.m. I was at Changi Village, breakfast was wanton mee... It's probably the weirdest wanton mee I ever eatened. It has fishballs and mushrooms in it... HAHA, so complex!! 7.20a.m. We leave Changi Ferry Terminal with 12 eager bikes to Pengarang! We landed 1 hr later, our legs so itchy everyone prepared so quickly for the ride!! 17km ride to the start point to get our refills before the "race". Unofficial flag of was called and we were on out way! These people are crazy! Craig was leading the pack with a constant speed of approx 40km/h hammering!! Some of the big thighs were doing 36-37 flat!! Scrawny me was just able to keep up by drafting! Call me a cheat, but I am still not as strong!! The worse part of the trip is the upslopes, it's the time when you need a lower gear and you can't find it! the only thing you can hear are pants but yet you are just travelling a miserable 20 km/h. Going we faced headwinds, that makes it even tougher! Coming back the winds made our life easier, I can't believe there is a point I was cruising at 40 km/h, Top speed hits 54km/h... And that, I am very happy that Malaysia is probably the only place you can do this exciting thrill! Lunch was pretty high in carbo and electrolytes... Their order, not mine!! Legs worned, skin burnt but a very very fulfilling experience and i plan to go down often! Total amount spent 30+ SGD. Cheap day to spend!

Along the streets today with my good mates, I saw a special friend! It was probably the most unexpected thing that will probably happened but hell it did!! My effective comm lecturer Bee will probably give me an F for the conversation with her, even my friend thought so!! =(
ANyway, 20 hrs more to go to the Trifams next training! These people are good!! I love training with them!! I will try to beat the one with the disc ZIPP! YES!

ThaNKs for reading the bore!! =)
