krabi

greetings from krabi!!

Me, weimin and liu li sitting in an internet cafe now bidding for modules whilst the rest were smarter and had already done their advance biddings and planning. The internet cafe here is really expensive. :(

Weimin, jiasheng and I just did quarks 7b today after a day spent resting cos of the terrible rain. liu li is close and can complete it on top rope. The forced rest day could be a blessing in disguise?

Me and jiasheng also did orange tears 7A and Lion King 6C+ on our first day. We are all hoping to do deep water soloing soon. See u guys in 2 weeks!

work and climbing

It's my first time working during the holidays and after 3 mths, i'm really glad it's over.

1. Comparingg work and school
Unparalleled freedom and time vs money and ambition. They're two totally seperate currencies but im a lazy bum so i'll much prefer my time thank you. Plus at work you have a boss but in school you're your own boss!

2. Work and climbing.
Some people say that they have no time to climb but i think that's not true. There is always time to climb and it is just how well you integrate it into your timetable - and what you are willing to sacrifice for it.

Despite saying that, i still have to admit that work does not correlate well with climbing at all :(. The problem is, work makes u tired and being tired = not feeling like climbing.

3. Work and traffic
It sucks that 99% of the working population go to work(and home) at the same time. Singapore roads get really crowded during the peak hour and its really shitty taking twice the normal travelling time...when you most can't afford it.

Anyway to cap off a really tiring 3mths is a really shiok 2 week krabi trip! I wonder how the junior team is faring in krabi, no news from them..

Gym cleanup

I would like to thank the new ex-co for organising the gym-cleanup, you guys did a great job! Of course this couldnt be done without all the helpers, glad that so many turned up.

It was very fast, efficient and thorough!

Some things to take note of now that the gym is clean, of course it's up to everyone to follow or not just some of my thoughts:
1. Don't use loose chalk, always use a chalk ball
2. Don't carry chalk bag when doing short boulder problems, when you fall, there's going to be a big PUFFF
3. Don't climb barefoot, going to make all the tiles dirty and moist

anything anyone else can think of?

SPORTS CAMP

Heya guys,

Sports Camp will be happening from 3rd July (Monday) onwards. It's a time when freshmen from the university get together for 4 days of solid sporting fun. This includes a demo and tryout sessoin on Tuesday 4th July for all land and indoor sports -- that includes us. This is an excellent time for us to showcase our talents to these freshies and get their attention for the sport, from promoting level 1 courses to promoting the IVP team. We'll just need to set up ropes and harnesses for the newbies to try out the sport, and also plan a stylo bouldering route that we can 'wow' the girls with ; )

We'll need helpers (belayers) and demonstrators (handsome and daring climbers *ahem*) for this demo from 8 to 1 pm. I believe that lunch will be provided too.

Capts and Mgrs, could you help rally the team members for this event? I understand that it's on rather short notice, but I think there was some lapse in the earlier communications efforts.
