A New Year

It's 20 past the one
As I write this line
I know it's getting late
But who's keeping the time?

Today we let it go
Today we'll stay up late
To usher out the unrenewed
And welcome our fresh Spring fate

In lights or in red
In tradition's buzzing glee
Some shake, some touch
And some we simply let be

For not all gaps or rivers
Were meant for us to bridge
Just as lovers will fight
Before love's bounty reached

Hands and arms held open
Or closed in bowed greeting
So let us receive this canvas
Of shades that we all bring

So out not with only the old
And cheer not for only the new
But keep instead a heart so bold
With dreams and living, fresh as dew

Post Boulderactive

Hey fellow dinos,

Boulderactive 2008 came and went. Notable mentions to the few dinos who took part: Yam, Elisa & Shumei.

Although number of dinos competitors were not many, the number of those involved in the event itself was certainly significant. Most of us helped out in route-setting, route-testing, as well as helping out as route judge, photographers and F1 team during the actual event itself.

That said, some of us (at least me) have been inspired to train for the next upcoming competition i.e. Rockmaster.

I would also like to take the chance to invite Jenny Lee as one of our blog writers. She was the first Team NUS captain I think (please correct me if I'm wrong). =)

Lastly, I would like to appeal to all dinos out there for suggestions for a new blog addy. According to our 'Queen of NUS' aka Kelly Khiew, the blog addy is a disgrace. So please, flood me with suggestions.

Oh, and understand everyone is busy, but thinking of resuming weekly climbs starting from next weekend. Please feedback on availability.

That's all for now folks!

High tea

And so, it was another food-filled weekend for the dinos(and semi-dinos).
and this time,we engaged in a rather tai-tai activity: hotel high tea @ Meritus Mandarin!! Lots of food, and cakes, and ice cream, BUT no climbing after, so all the load is still in my tummy.

Anyways, it was quite a fun gathering, even if the conversations were rather "adult"..getting married and buying HDB flats..!-_-

And happy birthday, NF!! hope u like yr BIG chocolatey cake. =)

photos photos!





oh, since stairs climbing is also somewhat climbing..
so heres a pic of yap and I after the vertical marathon.we got 5th! lol..


Hopefully next dino gathering will be climbing and not food related..haha..i'm getting so weak!
