Its back to the opti team for me! Yesterday was day off.. but I spent it with the Camp.. it was fun thou.. I took 4 guys under me today.. Christopher and Jeff are new.. chris sailed last season.. he is this black guy.. bubbly fella.. = big size.. haha. but he is cute.. jeff.. is this macho fella.. took karate... plays soccer.. but brute strength is not all dat is to sailing.. took them aside to the classroom and Christina was there.. and she went.. "Hey GUys.. Listen to John.. He's the best.." Corey would go... "Hey guys.. Listen to John.. He knows what he's talking about.." hai.. damn embarassing.. paiseh.. n PRESSURE TO PERFORM!!! dats no good.. I just wanan be myself... LEAVE ME ALONE!!! ahhaa... anyway.. talked to them abt some drills.. got them out on the water.. shouted myself hoarse.. everybody did quite decently.. even lil Ross.. but THeo.. he just can't make it to the windward mark.. sigh.. Have to try something new tm. hehe.. hopefully he can understand.. Anyway.. i got a lil rescue mission in the morniing.. Chris got entangled with his mainsheet on his boat when it capsize... he got pulled down with it.. good thing they dun have cleats on those boats.. else he might have gone down with it... he still manage to keep his head just on the outside of the boat.. barely up.. i've gotta jump in and free him.. he was cool abt it thou. never panick.. good lad.. had to tow him in to bail out all the water..

HAd lunch.. set some drills.. n we went out again.. they couldn't perform the drills.... as well as they could.. chris n ross can go close haul.. but jeff and theo.. just drifted off.. so i got them to the racing course.... dat the rest of the kids are already in.. Ross started well.. but he screwed up midway up the course..the wind died a little.. n he could sail.. Chris did well.. Theo was lost..Jeff was lost... Chris beat Michael and Veronica.. the supposed better sailor.. but of course.. i was there shouting at him and guiding him thru.. It will be really nice if i can have these 4 guys and bring them thru out the whole season and watch them grow.. it'll be sweet.. not so much of a competition..but its the closeness.. bond la.. bond..

Jeff's mum wouldn't be able to come pick him up till 4.. so.. I decided to take him out on a JY15 to sail arnd with him.. to teach him somemore.. got him to call his mum to come at 430 instead to give me somemore time.. he did alright.. I hope he can apply wat he learn tomorrow.. gave him some homework.. and got him to bring his tiller back to be fixed..

Had Buritos for dinner... machiam like chinese Poh PiaH! had 2.. and Anna dragged me outside to the gardens.. she sat me on a tyre tied to a tree..and started spinning arnd... when it got high enuff.. she jumped into the tyre..and it spun like crazy.. wah lao.. i got trouble standing straight after that.. but i broke into cold sweat right after.. felt really sick.. n feel like vomitting.. i sat and talk with steve for a while.. lost my appettite for desserts.. apple pie and blueberry pie leh.. and went to take a shower... Steve commented "Too sick to even repy n email?" haha.. yeah.. too sick.. I read a little..felt too sick.. n slept.. till 12.. haha.. n here I am... talked to Sujun n my cousin for a while.. he just upgraded his computer.. sweet stuff... did my blog for yesterday.. and today.. and here i am.. *yawn* time to sleep.. cheers! first.. gotta go plan tm...

Thoughts of the day : I seriously want my kids to beat the rest dat have been racing.. and training.. I think I set my standards too high.. I'm like.. I see the rest of the kids and I think that they sail like shit.. I can't understand why she keep saying that they are damn good.. Basket.. I bring one lousy singapore kid here can beat the shit outta all of them man.
