So passes the first week of two-oh-oh-nine.

Training has been a blast, barring the STOP GOING FORWARD GUYS NO NO SHIT THE K4 - ouch, very much - everything has gone swimmingly (ha, ha). Jiaolian never fails to command me off to paddle-carrying duty while the rest carry the K4, it is a HEIGHT THING, at which I am appropriately scandalized and the rest are excessively amused, and everyone laughs at me, including myself.

I can so reach the footrest.

And CHEE (who won't see this), IT'S NOT ME. DON'T LISTEN TO THAT PIG JN OKAYYY XDDD

Um.

Stolen from Wynne who stole it from Ele who stole it from Liang, I only know the first, but who cares, really?

Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.

For fluency's sake, I chose to ignore any non-english songs, though they'll get a mention at the end.

People who guess any songs get uh, praise and love from me.

Shorter one-lines are sometimes extended to encompass the first two lines.

THE TITLE IS SO OBVIOUS, GOD.

If you want to know, there are two songs by 30 Seconds to Mars there, and one DbC.

Today, nicole says, was a pretty good day, overall. See, class today was generally brainless and okay-to-understand, bar econs - I will never get that subject. CT and Cover CT are still Absent, thus Cover Cover CT Steffen has been taking attendance. huh.

Ah so it's been nearly three months since gv and I last went swimming in Macs; went in thrice today. gv only capped once?, and gab thrice, us ftw. The consolation is that it's only our second time in K1s. Once right at the (new! feet-burningly hot! wooden!) pontoon, once at the 500m mini pontoon trying to move away when all the Cs were trying to move in, and once trying to grab gab's boat so it wouldn't float away. All the weird stupid reasons.

So yeah, jiaolian said, 你去划K1看看啦,
gv said, NICOLE I AM FINALLY APPRECIATING THE STABILITY OF OUR K2 (which actually isn't very stable at all)
nicole said, oh fish *splash*
gab said, NICOLE I'M SORRY
nicole says, GAB IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT
muddy said, you and gv row K1 better than youall do your K2
nicole and gv said, wtf orly srsly D:
jiaolian said, 我叫 Mr Koh 买下 Hong Cheng 的 Nelo 了,

team said, :DDDDDDDD x 12409612819236192809123172470201294656
geri said things that shall not be repeated,
and we all went home.

As promised, I did mention potato salad. Seriously, listening to yen is a bucket of laughs, for undisclosed reasons.

"IF I CATCH YOU AGAIN, I'LL TELL SOMEBODY, AND YOU'LL GET INTO TROUBLE... JONATHAN NEO"
If you know not where this is from, it's not important that you know, but it is definitely a story worth telling (:

This is TOO COOL TO CUT.


The trophy, bearing an ice-axe and a tewhatewha (wh = f-sound), a Maori weapon. On the usage of the tewhatewha:
"First, you wiggle it so the feathers twitch around. When your enemy gets distracted by them, you ram his chin from below using the top of the tewhatewha, bring the blade down on his skull while he's dazed, and when he collapses, drive the pointed end through him to make sure he's dead."
...:D
