Economics

I may not be an economics student during JC but i also know this key principle of economics.. the principle of diminishing returns:
Suppose output is produced with two or more inputs and we increase one input while holding the other input or inputs fixed. Beyond some point—called the point of diminishing returns—output will increase at a decreasing rate.

haha anyone wanna kick me too??

An interesting book

I came across this book on amazon. Does any one have it? "One Move Too Many: How to Understand the Injuries and Overuse Syndroms of Rock Climbing"
http://www.amazon.com/One-Move-Too-Many-Understand/dp/3928026208/sr=1-38/qid=1162132842/ref=sr_1_38/102-3291767-5981759?ie=UTF8&s=books
If not i think I'll be buying it. Looks very useful.

I think everyone knows pain means must rest lah. But some times cannot tahan. Fingers too itchy.
Like me. How you say in economics, must maximize profit man, profit being increase in performance, and stop when marginal cost is greater marginal benefit. Its the universal rule man.
So lets all find our profit maximizing schedules man!

Something like that. Who wants to kick me.

Dancing Man

A wise man once told me not to mix endurance training with power training. But I had been doing it for the past few years, always thinking a good workout would include warm-up, boulder problems, then power train, ending with endurance sets. I'm totally wrong! So next time you need advice, ask the person beside me. Whoever it is, he/she will be better.

Time to start studying,esp juniors. But climb you must. So its time to join our study / look-a-see group. Whether your aim is a good cap or a good catch, it doesn't matter. YIH has it all. Confirm by next year will get. (guaranteed by someone).

Remember this?

Rock On novice cat 2005 ... big sweep (!) ... sorry ah, I'm just collecting prize for weimin ...

5 things you already know about Shaun

1) I love booze.

I love almost anything and everything alcoholic, except perhaps Tiger beer which tastes suspiciously like drain water. Not that I've tasted drain water before, but I guess it probably tastes and smells like Tiger Beer. Really can't understand why it's a "world acclaimed" beer. I prefer stuff like Erdinger and Hoegaarden or from microbreweries like Brewerkz or Paulaner's. I'm also quite anal in how I drink my beer; from a mug or glass, never from the can or bottle.

2) I love Steaks, in their full bloody glory. Nothing above medium-rare, though I have really bad luck with steaks. It's difficult for me to get a good one cause there seems to be a conspiracy to deprive me of them. Just had really lousy steak at the Swensons in VivoCity. Sent it back once, and it still came back lousy. Down with Swensons! Head to Hog's Breath or Outback Steakhouse for solid steaks. Of course if you're made of money there's always Morton's...

3) I had an exciting time in primary and secondary school. For some strange reason, I absolutely refused to do any homework in primary school and was too principled to copy, so each day I had to cook out ridiculous excuses for why I didn't bring/do my homework for every lesson. Quite stressful, really. My dad would have to make a trip down at least once a year. Then I woke up, and discovered the joys of copying homework =)

4) Like Vanessa, I was always late for school. I didn't have to do any fence climbing though, cause I gather that since prefects are students too, they have classes, so the trick is just to arrive after the first period, then stroll into class before the teacher for the next period comes in!
Oh and since I didn't have homework problems in secondary school due to my superbly fast copying skills, I entertained myself by pissing the shit out of teachers instead. The idea is to stand in a submissive way with your legs slightly apart, and hands behind your back, then look at them with a cheeky smile and deliver insulting lines in a soft and flat tone. When their faces start getting red and their volume rising, say something like "Why're you shouting, sir? I'm talking to you very nicely." or "Relax sir, you sound very stressed." Sigh..those were the days. Now I'm just dying in classes, can't catch up =(

5) Now here's the best one. I got caught shop-lifting a .... yoyo from metro when I was 14. The merciless manager called the police and my sorry ass was hauled to the Bedok police station where they threw me in a cell but didn't even bother locking the door. I got off with only a warning though. Thankfully.

Okay, that's enough embarrassing stuff about me for now. Oh wait, speaking of embarrassing stuff. There's one more. I got into the finals for Boulderactive 2003, novice cat of course. My then-girlfriend couldnt make it to support me, so she sent a winnie the pooh balloon that I had to tie around my chalk bag. So when I appeared from isolation, the Emcee went, "next climber, er, mr winnie the pooh." Damn embarrassing, so die die must do well for the competition. That kind of pressure got me into the finals. Haha.



And now I sent a flying tag to ... Charles.

to tempt

Juz to tempt you guys, m'sia not only has natural climbing at batu caves and the artificial wall at Camp 5, there is also natural Bouldering in Tampin!

Moisturiser

I was using some moisturizer for my hands thinking it would make my skin heal faster. But my callouses seem to be disappearing. What the hell man! My hard earned callouses are disappearing! The other day at climb asia I was having so much fun but my hands were starting to feel really raw, and i had to start avoiding those high friction stuff. Wah lau eh, how to tahan.

So if any girls are worried about rough skin, you can take over my lousy moisturizer. Useless piece of crap.

Don't tell me its all in my head. Who wants to volunteer for an experiment.

V A N E S S A

1. I'm easily frightened.
I fainted from a wisdom tooth operation 2yrs ago. I ended up at the hospital in the middle of the night, only to find out that I didn't faint cos I lost too much blood, but because I was frightened. $300 gone!

Earlier this year when I had to abstract 4 teeth, I cried =/ cos it hurt so bad after the anaesthesia wore out.. =(

And i'm afraid of anyth that crawls. Yuck. I even have to ask my little sis to help me catch the beetle or spider or ask my dog to kill e cockroach if not i wouldn't dare to go into the room/toilet.

I've embarrased myself countless times by jumping suddenly cos I thought it was a cockroach, when it was actually a LEAF on the ground. >1


2.I used to be a tomboy.
I play soccer with my bro. and in pri sch, when e girls are playing five stones, I would play catching with the boys during recess time and before sch.

I got into trouble a lot in sch. I had to go to the principal's office no less than 5 times. Maybe its cos i'm so gullible and silly =( in P1, I saw my friend drawing on another guy's shirt with blue crayons. And he persuaded me to join in! so I took a green crayon and started drawing and I can't remem the details but e guy's mom complained and the principal said I had to bring e shirt home to wash cos there were more GREEN than BLUE marks on the shirt =(

In P3, a friend told me to spray insecticide into the pond (to kill the toads or someth like tt) and I in the end I was brought to the principals office and almost got CANED. He let me off cos I was a girl.

In p5, my friends were really playful and didn't like this chi teacher, so they put chalk and threw rubbish into her handbag. And once again they persuaded me to throw someth into her bag. And before I knew it, I was in the principals office again.

In Secondary sch i had to see the HOD cos i had too many demerit points (alws late for sch). and she said "vanessa, are you eating? you're SHRINKING!"


3. i'm always late for sch
When I was in JC, I was always late for sch, well cos I lived so near, i thought I didn't have to wake up so early. So I was always running to sch and climbing over the fence so I didn't have to do detention. And there was once, my shirt got caught in the fence, and TORE when I jumped. That prob piqued my interest for climbing =P
oh and btw I got like 2nd place for inter-house rock climbing whoaa hehe =P
(edit:out of the 8 who took part, 5 of them didn't even get pass the start tile..)


4. I have 1..2..3.. 4.. 5.. 6.. 7! Piercings.
So ah lian right? 3 on each ear and a navel piercing which I removed, cos I didn't have time to let it heal.

5. I touched a CONDOM.
I was at MOX this Gay bar at Chinatown area I think. We went there during Arts camp. I was going down the stairs when I saw this Zen-looking balloon, and I was so amused I went to pick it up. it was OILY I only realised what it was when I saw the opening, I hope its not used one! yikes!





























































sorry i took so long! busy la =P
i tag CYNTHIA & SHAUN :)

worries

I see the freshies trg very hard - and im very glad that we got such an enthusiastic bunch.

At the same time, i feel slightly worried (especially for the guys, several of whom have asked me how to increase strength... halt right there, wrong focus!!)

As a novice climber, most important is good technique as it will bring you the fastest improvement in the long term. Overcoming routes by strength bring momentary pleasure but 'zero' gain. Strength training could also potentially lead to injuries if you hop too fast onto the campus board without supervision (pls don't). Injuries will make you very frustrated like our unlucky captain.

The impt qn is how to improve technique? As long as you are willing to learn it will happen - Look at other ppl climb (and then copy like Kakashi), ask others to spot what you are doing wrong, ask others how to do it right, visualise yourself doing it and think think think how different body positions will affect you, what technique is appropriate, experiment!

CLIMBING & BODY TENSION

Here's something that was ripped off the site http://www.exploreclimbing.com/

Climbing Tips

Move your centre of gravity towards a hold instead of reaching for it. Push instead of pull. As with yoga, when climbing be mindful and focus on the learning rather than the outcome.

Bring your attention to your breathing when climbing. We often hold our breath during crux moves or when we are gripped which creates muscle tension. Muscles need oxygen to replenish their energy state. Your intention should be to breath smoothly and evenly throughout the climb. Exhale as you perform each move and inhale before you reach for the next.

The opposite of force is feeling. Focus on letting go and not controlling. Instead of forcing see if you can feel what is blocking progress (e.g. fear/ tension/ holding breath). As you exhale imagine that your are drawing out the fear or tension.

When the mind goes to where we think the body should be, instead of where it is, we lose our awareness of the moment.

Practise focusing on your feet when climbing. Be precise with where you place your foot. Look at where you have placed your foot before committing. Make sure that your centre of gravity is over your foot. Only place as much of the shoe as you need. Think of a mantra such as 'sticky rubber' and apply it to your footwork. Your feet will stick like glue after practise.

I know it all sound a little zen-nish but it sort of sums up what I've been trying to make the jrs practice, perhaps more clearly. Do try to keep them in mind =] No matter what style of climbing u may have, I think these little pointers will still help.

having fun.

kind of bored.so think shall say something about today's climb in CA.
i always look forward to every saturday training,cos it's stress-free with a very laidback atmosphere anywhere we go.TP,SP,yishun safra,CA have real fun stuff, and definitely more fresh air.
whether we are humping potatoes, doing sick dynos or crimping on barely-there tiles, there's always plenty of crazy things to say and laugh at.especially when you humped a potato,got off the wall and watched another person hump it.try it at level 2 CA.satisfaction guaranteed.haha.
and we seriously should do something together other than climbing.like go window shopping or watch a movie or just chill out somewhere other than hawker centres.maybe this will come after the dreaded exams, or the weekend of climbaprix.yixiang and vanessa,you guys better not disappoint!i'm waiting for some good old-fashioned non-physical fun.
and last monday,when i said climbing is the best part of school, i ain't kidding. 4 days a week isn't enough, but my fingers can't take that much. and my nose hairs are overworked from all the filtering it has to do in the gym apart from working the haze.
2 more weeks to climbaprix, juniors, no stress ah, go there and have fun. during isolation maybe we can have some chick-spotting together.don't have to psyche till you lose your desires.haha.

let's play together till the sun sets on us.then play some more.

Dear climbers, besides our shared passion for climbing, which i assume with a high probability is true, what are your other hobbies? Cannot always talk about climbing right. People think we mad or something.

Anyone else love battlestar galactica? I think season 3 is the best so far. I won't give any spoilers but if you want to watch some here's a link. Its streamed. http://tv.peekvid.com/s2843/.
Thank me later.

C for clara

alrightie...got arrowed....so, 5 things about me!

No. 1

like jensen, im also the let-the-coin-decide-my-fate person. used that for many many many things, whether to pon cca or not(dun worry, tt was only in sec sch, i wont anyhow skip climbing training! (: ), whether to get this or the other present for fren, etc. and of most significant importance, to choose chem engin or take archi. guess the coin made the correct choice for me, although i do still wonder how my life could be if i wasn't in engin. i definitely suck at drawing, but i just like the feeling of not having to do maths, not having do science, but to do those animation stuff on comp, drawing, and those modeling stuff! so fun! and maybe take up some overseas architecture job o/seas! maybe america? :D

No. 2

i like daydreaming. thinking of impossible things (things like above). i can go on forever and ever and ever! oh ya, and even when i am paying attention in class, my frens will think that im stoning or daydreaming! yeah, i've got the daydreaming face huh....i rmmber in jc days, my tchers will go, "clara wong!" and then they will shoot some questions at me, because they think i wasn't paying attention! but, obviously, they were wrong! i do pay attention in class, sometimes.(at least, i tried very hard to) hee....

No. 3

im really forgetful, and blur, and bochap about many things. what makes things worse is i'm all three at the same time!

the very first symptoms of it occured in primary 4. somehow this nightmare was etched deeply in my mind(and hence, im not forgetful?), where my form tcher who was also my chinese tcher, kept calling me "blur like sotong"! as i never had any affinity with tchers, she hated me, and i hated her to the core. But now, i find all these rather bizarre, and stupid of me to even hate her for calling me blur cuz im really really blur. hah.

being forgetful is kindof duh la...as u can see from my tonnes of checklists and my calendars i made to remind myself of things-to-happen. and my room mate can even rmmber which days i start sch at 8 and which days i start 9, while i cant rmmber at all! ridiculous eh! hahah...

No. 4

i eat alot alot of candies. and i seriously do mean alot. hahaha....i known as the candy distributor for quite some time (dunno when this started, maybe sec sch or sth). but now i've cut down on my addiction! cuz we're now free to sleep during lectures and tutorials, and i dun need them to keep me awake anymore! ;) but if u all are feeling bored or need some sugar rush, feel free to ask from me, cuz i almost always have candies with me!

No. 5

cant really think of much stuff to fill in for this last point....hmmm.....so anyways...maybe i can entertain u peeps w some nicknames that my frens gave me over the years...

in jc, im known as: boeing(from my chi name bo yin), jet(plainly bcuz boeing jet) and hence 747 n 777, wong, "huh" (bcuz i use this word alot alot...i heeded my fren's advice and tried to substitute that with words/phrases like "beg your pardon", "come again?", "sorry?", etc. but it was a total fiasco)

in sec sch, im known as: rara, bobo, bowling(there is a simple story behind this...cuz my head is round like a bowling ball!), etc.

if u cant rmmber my name, or get me mixed up with cynthia, feel free to pick any of the above...i'll react to them! heee :D oh ya, if u accidentally call me carla, i'll answer to it too! cuz my senior always think that im a carla and calls me carla(maybe he has short tongue, ttz why) when i did an office job after A's. for 5 whole months, i was a carla! :)

Rightoe...my turn to tag pple!! :) i tag v a n e s s a !!!

5 boring things about edwin.

ok. here goes. haha. i think it will be a little boring.... but thanks for taking time off reading.

1) ok. not sure if you guys know this..i have been caned by the principal when i was primary 3. haHA. Reason : i played soccer on the basketball court the day after the principal said we were not allowed to do so. SHIT. actually i managed to escape getting caught. but those who got caught mentioned my name. so the principal was annoucing thru the PA system for EDWIN YONG. i cried after the 5 strokes. haHaa

2) hMm.... another thing about me. HAIRSTYLE. i am quite obsessed with short neat hair. those army kind of short. i cut my hair around once every 3 weeks. coz i hate it when it gets all messy aNd long. i used to have ARMANI hairstyle in pri sch. all GEL-ed up and stuff. =) when i was in secondary sch i had the ah beng kind of center partin hairstyle. not very nice becoz my hair wasnt that straight. yeah. what else. oh in Jc my hair was quite short. there was once me and my climbing team cut botak together. haaHah. yeah. then there you have it, my current hairstyle. i am currently trying to allow the hair at the back to grow slightly longer so i Can style it! any comments for me guys???

3) quite boring so far right? next thing about me is that i got drunk once. only once. it was quite bad becoz i was out with my army men. i was the only officer there. so i kena arrowed. made me drink and drink and drink and drink and drink. ok then i jus dropped dead flat. i was dragged out of the club and i remembered myself saying " i am ok. dun worry! i am really not drunk! I JUS CANNOT MOVE MY BODY!" but nobody believed me. haHa. guess thats what you will claim when you get drunk. ok. it wasnt exactly a nice experience with all the puking and hangover and stuff. well.. at least i got the experience.

4)ok! if you guys haven realised, i am quite crappy and talk alot. so PleASe pleASe... pardon me. yeah. ok here are a few signs of my mood. so please take note.

• when i start talking alot of crap and start to sing like what i did on monday- it means that i am feeling very bored and feeling aimless and kind of down. so please cheer me up and play along with me ok?
• when i am not talking- it means that i am very unhappy and pissed off. so... please stay away.

i am quite nice la actually. don't you guys think so? easy going.nice to talk to. easy to crap with right? haHAah. hMm... seriously. SERIOUSLY. i am not hostile and DAO, so talk to ME!

5)ok. lastly abit of me when i was in JC. i WAS the captain of the climbing team. i was competitive and i demand alot from my team. hAHa. kind of like Hilter la. yeah. but everyone was happy becoz we all have the climbing spirit. that was what kept us going together as a team. i treasure that team of mine alot, going thru allof tough times and fun times. yixiang was in the team as well. can ask him how much fun we had. climbing the wall without ropes. climbing during recess and every break, den going back to class sweating and having chalky hands! hAHa. So to my present TeaM, let the passion for climbing keep us together aS a team yeah! it will jus something hard to describe when we get to that stage. so till then.

ok. tts all about me. i cant do stunts like jackie and i cant have tattoos like Pyang. what do you expect? i have a DISLOCATED shoulder. =) now i shall tag...................................CLARA!!!!!

cinq choses que vous ne savez sur moi

5 things you do not know about me...

1. honestly i didnt think that i would be a rock climber... cuz in JC i was cock sure that i would be joining bowling as a CCA since i learnt the techniques during sec 4 after my 'O' levels... so after i put my name down on the paper at the bowling booth i went with my 2 frens to see other CCAs.. they tot rock-climbing was fun so they went and gave it a try.. i was sitting there like an idiot watching them when someone from the team, a fellow marist like me asked me to give it a go... was kinda reluctant at first but then i decided to give it a shot... and after 3 climbs including one on the overhang, which i completed (with the belayer giving me assist lol) i signed up with them and that was it!! i have never regretted my decision and never will...

2. i was hospitalised during J2 because of something stupid i did... at the time i was a break dancer wannabe so i was always trying "stunts" in my room... happened that i saw this video in which this pro breaker was recommending some exercises to strengthen the upper body.. one of the exercises was to do vertical pushups with your legs leaning against the wall for support.. so i tried a few and then gave up and went back to study not thinking too much about it... a few days later i was in my classroom having a break when i had this "seizure" where i felt weak in the right side of my body... and i couldnt keep my balance... it lasted for a while before it disappeared... it happened again that day and many times 2 days later... so i went to SGH where i was admitted to the stroke ward cuz i was a "stroke query".. during my stay i went for MRI blood test, urine test, ENT (ear nose throat), ECG(brain wave) tests.. and all came out normal... after 5 days they discharged me... hospital bill? $2500.. i then went to a chinese sinseh who said that i probably twitched a nerve in my neck which results in the "seizures".. so he "rearranged" my neck and whats inside... and true enough i didnt encounter any seizures since then... how much did i spend there? $70.. WTF!!! anyway the money is not the point... the point is, before doing any exercises please STRETCH!!!!

3. i know a lot of u think or say that i look like jackie chan.. well u guys are not the first... since young (about 9?) to when i was in secondary sch as well as in JC, people have already said that i look like jackie chan... haha and he is not the only person that i seem to share an uncanny resemblence with.. people also used to call me robbie fowler... in both cases, i reckon its the nose... lol

4. like pengyang, i am a non-smoker but i confessed that i had a few puffs before... not more than 10 though!!! most of it was from clubbing when i was really super ultra high on alcohol and just needed something to relax a bit so i took my fren's stick... but that was it!! i am still considered a non-smoker k!!! lol to smokers out there!!! remember "SMOKING CURES CANCER!!"

5. i seriously seriously cant think of a 5th point... anybody care to help me out??

i will publish the 5th point when i think of one... meanwhile i tag EDWIN!!!

krabi

Aiming to go krabi and completing that 7c?

-->Try going to youtube and search for "chu kai wai" for your krabi routes' beta

Lots of interesting routes like hang ten, baby gorilla (my 2 next projects..im so lucky!), Hee Youn Kang On Chicken - 8b+ (super!), tantrum (8a+) (super!), Old Chicken Makes A Good Soup (8a+). He is really strong and from the way he climbed tidal wave in his video, me and weimin can tell that he onsighted it. (Since we are really familiar with it from trying it so many times, sobz)

Have fun!

a tip?

Today this British climber on student exchange told me that putting mosituriser on your hands will make it heal faster , prevents pealing and you can get really strong skin.

Hmm, sounds slightly dubious since I've always thought moisturiser will make your skin softer but well worth a try cos i'm running out of skin!!

~~
Been doing PT involving 11kg of weights in a backpack recently, trying 3 exercises:
1. deadhanging on the smallest crimp on our campusrungs, 8s
->trains static finger strength
2. Laddering
->Contact strength and Recruitment
3. Toes hooking around the straps of the backpack, try to raise your legs as high as possible and locking on jug for 10s. (NEW)
->Body Tension/locking. I find this exercise very strenous!

~~
Can't seem to find my small container of gigabyte chalk..did anyone see it in the gym? It has gr8 significance to me! (and im out of chalk) :(

5 things you don't know about.....jensen

i kena arrow from alvin,so here goes:

1. I am a freak-accident magnet.yes, it is rather obvious from how i can sprain my finger from an innocent game of captain's ball.back in 2002 when i was in canoeing,just 6 weeks before the inter-school competition,i had a freak accident that killed off any chance of me representing the school.i capsized,on my my way swimming back to shore,i kicked a rock.the next thing i know,there was a huge whole on my ankle,and the blood was flowing like it's free.yeah,so couldn't walk for a month and was kinda depressed.so everyone, please take care, or don't stay near me.
2. Am sandwiched between 2 sisters.one's 24 and going to become a police officer(she's crazy!can't run for nuts how to catch thieves?!?) the young one is 18 and a poly student who's more interested in playing the guitar than her studies. in between them is a 22 year-old ape.
3. The reason why i'm in engineering now is very simple.i was caught in a dilemma,to choose engine or bizad.to quicken the decision-making process,i flipped a coin.so here i am.(this is true ok...and i don't recommend anyone to tikam their lives like i did.regret sia...)
4. i like to bake.brownies,cookies,cheesecakes,trying to venture into cakes.if i had the courage and the money,i'd be in shatec now and off to france for baking school.and it's still my goal to open a bakeshop,regardless of who the baker will be.who wants to invest?
5. what got me into climbing wasn't real climbing. in 2003, i was watching the X-games when the speedclimbing segment was showing.this rookie thrashed the former champion in the women's category.i was like "what the f**?gotta try this someday."and the first thing i did when i got to NUS (didn't have time during army) was to get the level 1 course.and it all started from there.

that's it! anything else you want to know about me,just ask.

i'm not sure which juniors know about this blog, but i'll tag JACKIE CHAN, mr chen yixiang.Rob-B-Hood rocks!!!

Climbing Politics by Siu Hang

This article relates the frustration of being a climber during climbing. This article directly involves us too, and it is useful to have people to tell us how we are acting during climbing, as more often than not, we fail to step back once a while to take a good look at things.

http://chillycraps.blogspot.com/2006/09/climbing-politics.html

"are easily identifiable by their team-spirited attire and can always be seen
seated in an auditorium fashion in front of the lanes they hog"

It is called climbing etiquette by the way. Let us all try to be the best loved climbers in the whole universe muahaha.
