NYAA

I'm still feeling the effects of a particularly exhausting weekend of the likes I havn't had since probably army days. Went for work as an instructor at Yio Chu Kang Secondary's NYAA camp where I learnt that whoever said that girls were less suited for the outdoors than guys must have been stark raving mad, and possibly, and possibly gay as well. The reality is astounding. In 2 whole days of seemingly endless walking, struggling with heavy loads, sand over just about everything, not exactly gourmet food and living like one of those guys who got chased off Changi Beach recently, it was the GUYS who were doing most of the whining. The girls walked faster, carried more, complained far less and took the lead roles almost immediately. They even opted to try and run the whole first NavEx when I told em we were running out of time. Most of the guys lagged behind heaving for breath. Well at least that was the girls in my group. Don't know about the others, but they have no idea just how proud of them I was when they finally completed their last objective. A NavEx that one of the guys chickened out of, complaining of a headache.
Went down for the Lisa Ono concert yesterday. Must say I was a little disappointed. Turns out English isn't exactly her language of choice and she was struggling to communicate with the audience. Resulted in her projecting almost no stage presence whatsoever, not entirely made up for by the exceedingly good music. Kinda like listening to a CD, live...
