Dip-Pull-Cut-Up

That's the 4 steps to the MOST basic technique in dragonboat paddling. And yup!! That's what I did in the afternoon with my colleagues, our German counterparts and our youths - Dragonboating. We went down with a few German counterparts and a few youths. We were hooked unto SAVA who gave us a crash course and an hour and half hands-on session.

Have I ever mentioned (in one of my 250 over entries) that I had a boyfriend (yonder years ago) who was in the dragonboat team? Gosh... I had ALWAYS wondered what's so fun about being in a boat that had a dragon head in front and a tail at the back. Today, I found the thrill of it. Corporately speaking, I found the thrill of togetherness, the thrill of what can be achieved through a team who cooperates and coordinate, the thrill of putting in your ultimate best. And personally, just the thrill of being on a boat gives me great joy.

I guess.. a HUGE part of me love the sun and the sea. Where everyone commented what a lovely weather we had today, inside of me, I wondered sadly where has the sun gone to. Somehow, the feel of the sun on the skin just feel... burnt. Haha!! No la.. Feels nice. Nice you know? It's like hot.. then you dip yourself into the water. The transition of the temperature. Haaa.. Ok.. I am simply RAMBLING... And YES.. I LOVE the sea. Gives me great joy just to be part of it.

Ps 52:8-9 "But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever. I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints."
