so things are looking up.
last monday brett towed eliz and i out past the heads hoping to get some quality downwind time. just like the previous day, the wind was a let-down, but in return;
i got my first ever humpback sighting!
it was extraordinary - a pair of inquisitive whales came along while we had stopped for a break. they circled us for about 15 minutes, popping up right alongside us, sticking its tail and flipper out of the water, even poking its nose out at one point. wow!
at some point during the week i found out that the nonsense-lyric song in my head was not from an old motorola razr ad as i had first thought, but rather from an old
heineken ad. it's a fun song (from fifa 06 too) and a good ad. thanks sara.
i also learned to play that stevie wonder clavinet riff in '
superstition'.
i also learned that thelonious monk played ping pong!
and finally, came across peter finch's 'mad as hell'
diatribe which was sampled in a maybeshewill song. what a powerful piece of acting.
i leave on 21st nov for an ag training camp in perth with the rest of the singapore team. a few days to refresh in sg, and then its off to shanwei for the big games.
after that finishes its straight back to sydney for summer courses!
