random photos

Hi, haven't updated in a long, long while. Been swarmed by work recently. Anyway, just to upload some pictures that have been in my digital camera for awhile. Of a level 2 course some of dinos and semi-dinos took some time ago.


Okies. That's all for now folks. Should be re-starting our Sunday-morning-climb routine too. Watch this space. =)

A Climber's Song

Dedicated to everyone who misses a rock, somewhere. :)

Singing rock, O' singing rock
For whom do you song?
Why do I hear your glories
Long after I am gone?

I know that you are waiting
I hear your whispering winds
I miss your distinct texture
That bend my soul to a whim

How you have been patient
Teaching me in silent grace
That I may know your secrets
If only I pledge my days

Singing rock, O' singing rock
How I dream of your song
In nights of engineered reality
I will return, it won't be long

Sunday bouldering...

Hi all,

Nothing much to update but just wanted to give a shout-out to dinos out there. We are having a mini climbing session at CA every Sunday quite regularly. Feel free to come and join us!

CA bouldering is not too bad; I particularly like the roof section. I really suck at roof routes and having such a long roof section helps me train on my roof-climbing techniques. =)

Will try to include photos of our climbing sessions next time. Cheers~

Salut Dinos!

Salut dinos! Just doing my bit to contribute since I've been honorably appointed by The (Temp) President of this blog as a member. As a junior dino, I ain't really sure what I'm able to share with fellow dinos on this blog. So perhaps, I will just share my experience on a recent super-short trip to Ceuse...

Part I
Part II
Part III

Welcome Note

Hello everyone, welcome to the NUS dino climbing team's blog! =) Hopefully this blog shall serve its purpose as the main communication platform for the members of our elusive team.

I am the current President of the NUS dino climbing blog and all interested parties are strongly welcomed & encouraged to overthrow me please. =) Otherwise, I shall just try to do my best in my temporary occupancy of this role. =p

Due to space & time constraints (mainly time), our team has yet to conduct any meetings, thus a brief idea of the team goals & objectives shall be temporarily set by me. All comments & suggestions are welcome.

NUS dino Team Key Objectives:
  1. To create a regular climbing group amongst NUS dinos.
  2. Overseas trips to various new & exciting climbing areas, (can also include non-climbing activities such as shopping).
  3. Achievements at climbing competitions (at least for the beginning so that our team gains greater exposure).
  4. Expand membership (including active members, dormant members, sleeping members, 'coma' members etc.)
Shall set up a comment-box soon and invite all current & potential members to our blog soon.

Oh, current members, due to the active recruitment by my Vice-President, Ruixuan are as follows:
  1. Jessica aka myself (Temp. President)
  2. Ruixuan (Vice-President)
  3. Jups (Chief adviser)
  4. Kiat (by default since the rest of your 'family' is here)
  5. Elisa
  6. Meishuang
  7. Ningfeng
  8. Junwei
Hopefully I didn't leave anyone out. Plus of course our bigger group of 'sleeping' dino members. So as you can see from the short list above, one of our key objective is to increase membership! One of the methods shall be through our objective 3, achievements & exposure of our team at climbing competitions/events. Btw, achievements can take any form; after all, as our NUS dinos saying goes, "Lose person, cannot lose face/style." (Direct translation from Chinese =p)

Alrighty, that's all for now folks!
