Kiyah, Pull!

It's been quite a while since i experienced this type of "Race training".
It was sheer tiredness and all out.
But It was a great feeling, probably for once, i get to row more than I cox!

It made me more prepared for the upcoming race, and I can feel the fighting spirit even stronger.

Probably highly attributable to the familiar faces in the boat, as opposed to the weekly changing faces.

I see the core group emerging. getting ready to break off from its cocoon..
Just a matter of time.
if this group carries on, it should evolved, and when it flaps its wings, the effects will be strongly felt.

I was fascinated by this little toy of yester-year. Though its form has changed over the years, but the element of fun still remains.

A Simple water-gun, never faisl to bring out the child in everyone.
Nowadys, it's a rare sight to witness children playign water-gun fight at void-decks and playgrounds. Compared to the years of the 80s. This was one of the "must-own" toy of every child.
In contrast, its the nitendo heand-held or some hand-held electronic gadgets.

Thanks to the recent BKK trip that coincides with the SOngkran (water) Festival, I witness the fun and laughters when one is "attacked" or "assasinated" by strangers on the street.
It felt like police-and-thief, but you dont know who's which and who's your ally.
It brings out the child in so many adults during the water fight.

Maybe one day, Singapore shoud have a day or 2 of "water festival" as an excuse for the grown-ups to reminiscene and enjoyed those simple joy from yester-years.
Afterall, Singapore strikes such a hot weather, and its justifiable for a day or 2 of declared "water days"

Happy 4th of April BIRTHDAY to Andew!!

"Back-stabbing", literally explained.

Are Local guys Hot Enuff?

saw an article recently on the topic (agian)
'Are local guys hot enuff".
Adn yet again, the contreversy surrounds the comparison between Local guys and Ang-mohs, and the local guys "dress-sense".

Ok, one undeniable fact, ang mohs "generally" have more defined features, thats 1-0 to the ang mohs.

Then, the never-laid-to-rest argument put forward by LOCAL gals on why Local guys are NOT hot enuff.
I.e., they commented in matter-of-fact, cos local guys dress too shabby, walking down towns in slippers, berms and t-shirts/singlets.
Not trying to stage a war against gender, but just my own thoughts on why some comments are unfounded nd non-supportive....
All i wanted to comment on this is, put yourself in the same shoe before making such remarks...
Berms and slippers and t-shirts can still make you look hot.

What are the Local gals dress sense in view of above context?
Isn't it also Slippers/flats wth short-shorts and skimpy t-shirts, spags and mistaching blouse ad t-shirts?
And do you think they look "hot" in such attire? Literally maybe.
And how many gals bother to put on make-up when in town?
How many who put make up, really put enuff to eccentuate their features?
My word of advice to them is :
learn a rope or 2 from the Taiwanese/Hong kees/ Jap ladies if yu want to make full use of make-up products.

So ladies, before you make that matter-of-fact comments that s'pore guys are not hot becos they dressed too shabbily, do a self-check first. how often do you take on a dress, unless at a 'grand dinner"?
It has become a 'sacred " piece of clothing to be tuged away in a ladies wardrobe... hanging there, seldom exposed to the light...
Dressing casually doesnt rule you out as hot. Even gals in plain jeans and t-shirt can be termed hot, its how you carry it off.

And yep, because local guys generally can carry off wearing berms and t-shirts well on the streets, and ladies, if you can carry it off with short-shorts , t-shirts and little make-ups, you can still be coined "Hot".

Hence my next question is : "Are local GALS hot enuff"... The answer is obvious, IF, you choose to put it in the above context.
Guys , whats your take?
