A simple update!

Well, after all this time, I suppose it's high time I updated this with what I have been up to!

Work has been tiring. It seems that everyone wants to breathe down my neck! Anyhow, that's why this post, and as you can see -

at just past 5, I have decided to get outta the office for a Friday night! Contrary to what you think, My head's throbbing, and I wanna go home in a while, after a few beers of course, and sleep!

On a lighter note, i bought...

It's a Starboard Carve 145, and I got it at a real steal! I paid like $250 for it, and that in Singaporean Dollars! Worst part however is that I havent gotten a chance to get it wet yet! I have been looking at it, and wondering how it'll perform on a plane... and a lot else, and I just havent had time go go to the beach YET!

That's gonna change I hope... Tomorrow!

That aside, I have been scooting along at work, it's been a pain, but I suppose that's life. I spoke with a good old friend, and we were discussing what was the most interesting thing that happens. We didn't (haven't) come to a conclusion, and that is rather depressing! I think that it's just gonna stay this way.

I suppose since young, not much has been really gaining my interest, and for the things that do, I really do delve into them, like golf for that, for the longest time, before I switched my focus on windsurfing. Other things that I was MADE to do, like work, has just simply been a matter of a fact, no bloody choice about it thing!

Alright... Time to concentrate. I am only on my second beer. Happy hour's about to be up, and I need to make up for lost time!

The future

I might actually be able to play the piano like this!

I still dont like the monkey!

And, after all that, - get to be a monk? What an anti-climax! It would have been awesome if he got to be a jedi, or even a centurion, as his hat suggests!

Formula windsurfing is safer!

Taking all the disciplines of windsurfing (planing conditions), I think the safest is still formula windsurfing.

Why? Simple! I go out on a nice sunny day, with probably a 10 knot wind, and I am having a blast, all the way till i see an approaching storm and then with my 11msq sail, I head back to shore. That is when I see all my friends jumping into the sea with their tiny sails - 7msq mostly.

Now, living along the equatorial belt, storms here are short and heavy, with lighting. Plenty of it! For someone who has been caught in a storm before, and washed by the current a couple of kilometers, I have to say that the sight of dark clouds looming does send me packing, to a place near shore, and where I can get back on dry land fast.

Simple. Formula is safer. Why windsurf for 20 minutes before a storm, when there are hours upon hours of wind, sufficient for formula windsurfing all day long, in the nice sunshine!

That said, I too have a smaller board and sail, and yes, I do dump my formula gear and go out on smaller equipment when a storm hits.

After all that rambling - just keep surfing!

Statistics

When Statistics fail. Not everything follows a pattern!

Perseverence

If at first you don’t succeed, just try lowering the difficulty setting…

The not so oracle

Is it because the octopus is German, and made a prediction against the country that influenced the players in the game? Or against whoever it predicted for? As with fortune tellers, statements like these may define the outcome of things!

Whaddya think?
