Aaaaaahhhhh…. Beach Training, Syok tapi Sunburn :-(

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

The NUS University Life-guard Corps had an introductory beach training yesterday, and having nothing to do on Saturdays (not exactly nothing to do actually coz I’ve loads of tutorials and stuff to work on =.=") I joined them for this intro training. Chua, I give you every right to be jealous, coz back when we were training in sec shool, we didn’t have this opportunity ;-)

All I can say about this training is that it sums up to three words… ROX!!!! TOTALLY OWNAGE!!!!

We had the chance to learn how to use the rescue surf, and also how to mount and dismount from a surf board when in the middle of the sea, and also how to use a torpedo tube (it is kinda like something you see in baywatch, where the rescuer slings a float on and swims to the victim and let her cling to it, swimming back while pulling her) … Totally Cool… And the best part is that we all had FUN!!!!

But it made me miss Redang all the more :-( YL & GL & ML, Redang is by far the best beach that I’ve been to so far… That aside, I forgot to put sunblock so I’m having some sunburns. (Actually I’m trying very hard to ignore the pain in my muscles to write this blog, so do appreciate it =P)

Sun, sea, sand & GALS… The idea of being a Baywatch member does seems alluring… Duncha think??? ;-) 

The First Concert That I PERFORMED — Welcome to the NUS Guitar Ensemble

Friday, October 6th, 2006

Good heavens the concert is over… Phew… It was a tough job to handle. The concert was fantastic and it was held at LT 13 (at the Arts and Social Science Faculty) The main ensemble featured 3 songs all together… and the best part was the finale (obviously the best always comes last… more of a surprise element!!!)

The concert titled ‘Spirits of the Guitar’ was a campus concert featuring the NUS Guitar Ensemble (GENUS), organized by the CFA (Center for Arts) and Exxonmobil campus concerts crew on 4th October 2006. Special thanks to those who came to watch the concert (Mann Ern, Collin, Alison & co. and also Chris and his gang of Indonesian friends… ) and to those who did not get to see it, then that’s too bad….

But nevertheless, there will be another performance next year, but the only problem is - you will have to pay to watch it in March 2007. Coz the one next year will be held in UCC and it will be a very very very very…. GRAND EVENT!!! So be sure to keep your eyes open…

A note of consolation to those who missed the October concert, there will be a video recording of the concert… but I don’t know when it will be up, so you guys will just have to wait. And do drop me a comment if you wanna have the video, I’ll send it to you ASAP!!!

*This concert is certainly a success. And I had a very good time during the concert, and the best part is… I did not screw up my TRIO PERFORMANCE!!! Yes people… THERE IS A TRIO PERFORMANCE BY ME AND TWO OTHER MEMBERS!!! Just glad that nerves did not get to me on that day…;-) *
