2nd Last day of camp!
Activities since last mail
- Monday Night Race
- Chiropractor
- Wednesday Night race
- ViCKy Loves to sail!
- Thursday night Race
- Pay Issues
Well.. Monday night race was a blast.. Had Corey for crew.. I was abit apprehensive about sailing.. but I was itching to go.. changed the normal tiller extension out for my super long 48" one.. its kinda hard to control with that.. esp during the run.. I had a feel adventures.. I finished 1st in the first race.. I din give room to Steve in the 2nd.. i was nice not to luff him up... but yet he scored me dsq.. i'm disappointed.. oh well. 2nd in the 3rd race.. then I could have finished 2nd.. but i decided to be more aggressive about it and went to windward to Mike.. and hitting his shroud in the process bugger.. and he din give me room to finish. i went back to do my turn.. and finihsed 5th.. then i finshed 2nd the last race.. oh well.. it was a nice night.. lovely sunset..
Steve ran me over to the chiropractor after work.. dat fella took like a whole buncha xrays.. it must be like twice over the total amout of xrays i had in my entire life!! buggger.. out to get the insurance company... anyway.. he din do anything.. and sent me home and had me set for another appointment for tomorrow.. sigh.. we went to meet deborah for dinner with mike.. to discuss some marketing strategy.. it was interesting to hear the ideas that she have and stuff.. She's a mum of a kid that offered her free services in xchange for some discount for next year summer's camp or something. She's pretty neat.. We stopped by an outdoor shop .. they have some nice sales going on.. too bad steve wasn't the shopping type.. and he does make it known. so.. yaeh.. din buy anything..sigh. was tempted..
So.. Wednesday.. Andy's dad called and say that he willnot be coming ever to the camp. good news for the kids.. great news for me.. at least he wouldn't be that much of an influence over his sister.. and she sailed the morning.. she did great.. and I had to leave... and after that.. she refused to sail.. oh well.. dats cos we capsized her on purpose in the morning.. haha.. what has to be done has to be done.. i'm the devil.. as usual.. Chrissy ran me home to susan.. and I screwed up the appointment.. it was to be at 3 instead of 1.. tsk.. had to go back again.. i'm sure susan isn't pleased. The chiropractor recommended 25 freaking visits.. I ask him to go FO.. oh well.. I manage to get a book at the library for 25cents.. dirt cheap..i think its called A Man and A boy.. i wanted to read the book sometime back.. but hey! 25 cents super cheap.. anyway.. the stupid bank wouldn't cash my check cos they require my passport. oh well..
Wednesday night race.... it was great.. great weather.. we had a decent start.. there was some confusion if we had started early.. and that drew some attention away from us.. and we slowed down. I made a bad call to tack..into a header..and i din ask to tack back..we over layed the mark quite a fair bit.. we finished 3rd.. If Liquid Limit is OCS..which the committee said they were.. but never put it down in writiing.. we will be 2nd.. oh well.. not bad for all those lousy calls.. sigh.. lousy tactician..
Thursday.. Vicky.. she finally decided that she loves sailing. and kept asking to capsize.. oh well.. what a sudden change of heart.. I certainly hope that she'll maintain that position on friday.. I'm glad that we are able to change her mind.. I guess it must be the swimming sessions that helped abit.. she played in the water with the rest of the girls and she prolly realise that there isn't really any harm in the water and she became more comfortable... I gave them a challenge to do a synchronised sail by for their parents..a nd suddenly she have the confidence to sail.. I'm really glad that that is working out... I dun really see them being able to actually do the sequence that i would have liked... I guess I'll change to naother one.. need to brain storm.. hehe..
Anyway.. Thursday night race went well.... I finished 3rd behond 2 470.. one right behind.. and another one was erm.. a minute or so infront? I should be able to correct of them.. I feel so lathergic.. so retarded.. I can't roll tack my boat properly.. must be cos of the accident..c os I was doing perfect roll tacks 3 weeks back.. I had a grand time sailing downwind.. NOt sure how much surfing I did.. but man.. did I work.. hmm.. just not sure if I was doing it right..c os i certainly din make any gains on the 1st 470.. just maintaining the distance.. but then again..they have the spinnaker.. hmm.. oh well..... it was fun.. but man am I sore or wot.. my thighs hurt like crazy.. cos i havent' been using them.. I couldn't grip my line at the end of the race.. just too tired. oh well..
There are some pay issues that are quite fucked up.. I hope it can be resolved soon.. Else I'll be really pissed and I'll seek legal action if need be.. woaH~! serious leh!! hahaha! They are deducting my pay for the fees that they paid for the visa to get me here! FUCKERS!!

Horse Spitters...
Activity of the day.. Hospital Visit
Mood right now.. ok.. Physical mood.. Achy..
Mrs Hayden brought us to the hospital this morning.. and we went for a check up.... We both got an Xray each..and it first turned out ok..then the radiologist called the doctor and told him that they think that my first rib is fractured.which made sense cos thats where the blerdy seat belt was.. so they arranged for me to go for a CAT scan.. which is suppose to be more detailed and i need to have an IV.. so that I can get some distinction in my blood so that it'll stand up.. Had to wait quite a while for my turn to get scanned thou.. at the end of it all.. the result was negative... and its all good.. everything will be taken cared by Mrs Hayden's car insurance.. so.. moneywise.. its all good.... I'll even get reimbursed by the insurance for lost of income.. man.. its comprehensive..
My chest still feels terrible thou.. I tried lifting some stuff.. and it kinda hurt.. oh well.. it'll wear out soon... Sarah came over to see us after we came back.. we watched American wedding.. and Camp Nowhere.. and the Olympics opening ceremony... Saw the Indonesian Import and the China Imports.. hhaa.. JOKE! Anyway.. we had Calzones for dinner.. Mr and Mrs HAyden got a 70's party to attend.. and Newton.. look so different when he is dressed up.. he looks sorta good man! Im surprised! ahha... Anyway.. Sellas and Craig turned up later.. Christina was saying that I'll be good with a Brunette.. and Sarah says that I'll be good with a Blonde.. oh well.. either one works... haha.. I called Steve to tell him that I'll be back tomorrow... and he's all cool.. The grad ceremony for the kids went well. but I'm sad that Jimmy and Tylor din come.. I'm disappointed.. Jimmy is understandable.. but Tylor. He had a good time.. Sigh......
Anyway... everything's good.. Its all good.. Take care guys.. Mum.. I'm alright.. no worries.... Cheers!

Accident! Thank God I'm Alive!
Mood right now... shell shocked!
Activity of the moment.. We Ran into a fucking car!
Christina and I are gonna spend the last night chilling out together.. so.. we picked up her bf, Craig.. and we went to get Gelatis.. and then we were on our way to Circuit City to get Animal House! Everybody decided that I have to watch that show as it is an American Classic! And I HAVE TO WATCH IT!! its DE SHOW!! SO.... we were on our way there..singing in the car.. I'm dozing off in the back seat as usual.. until there was a WHAM! I'm like FUCK! Accident! I'm gonna fucking die! I feel my body and neck going in two fucking different direction and my body being hurled to the left constrained by the seatbelt! There wasn't a flash back of my life.. but I know I thought to myself that I'm TOO FUCKING YOUNG TO DIE!! There are shit load of stuff I have yet to complete! At least Die in a boating accident! not some stupid car accident!! Its Crap!! SO LAME! Wat a wasted way to die.. Anyway.. Smoke Filled the car.. good thing it din blow.. I thought it was gonna thou.. I was choking cos of the compression on my chest... I couldnt' really speak.. Craig reacted first and started shouting.. Get out of the caR!! Grab the keys and shut the engine!! I barely made it outta the car.. I'm still shell shocked!! I'm like shit..My lungs are fucking gone.. I won't be able to sail! Christina was understandably crying when I see her.. I went to give her a hug and tell her that it is alright. Everything is cool.. and thank god that we are all alive and well.. but my chest / neck and back hurts like some piercing on the penis.. tsk.. wat a description man..
Anyway.. as with all singaporeans.. they like to find out .. WHO IS AT FAULT! Well.. it ain't ours! we were on a straight road.. minding out own business travelling at 40mph.. when this old man made a very sharp turn.... to beat the flashing red light.. and we hit him.. right at the right corner of his car.. he wasn't wearing a seatbelt.and he was flung from the driver's seat to the passenger seat.. fuck shit.. he had blood on his hair...and some cut on his face.. and chin. he was a wreck... Christina got some burns on her hands and some bumps... from the rocket fuel from the Airbags.. damn they are good.. I've always wanted to try them.. now i've squandered a perfectly good chance to. tsk.. Anyway.. its all good.. going to bed now.. If I don't fucking wake up.. My money in my bank is going to my Mama.. My Carbon Tiller and extension will be going to Christina... My camera will go to my sister..hahaa.. and i don't believe I have any other properties that are impressive enuff.. haha.. oh yes.. Clement can have my starwars toys.. and kerry can have my goretex jacket.. and my dad gets my nike Air woven shoe.. aha.. My backpack will go to Wayhuang.. since he has been wanting to go trekking.. and he can have my Asics shoe as well.. and dats my will... Oh yes.. my money in america.. goes to mama as well.. hahaha and THIS WILL BE LEGAL!!!
GOOD NITE!! PEACE OUT FUCKERS!
