Imbalance of life

Last Saturday we had 2 star kayaking at Kallang Basin. The place is smartly camouflaged under a highway of some sorts, and being the good scouts that we are, some of us got lost a total of 2 times and we ended up being 30 minutes late.


Other than that minor hiccup, the rest of the lesson was pretty fun, with Tak being suay enough to capsize twice unintentionally, and Anurak who got targetted by Stanley due to his GLness. The instructors were all quite cool, strict yet fun at times. And the weather that day was unbelievably good, seeing as how the past few days were raining and it only rained during lunch time that day.


While we were kayaking, there were also the manly dragonboaters around, not just guys but also girls. We take comfort in the fact that the girls were doing assisted pullups, but some of the guys have such a sick physique. While watching them dragonboat though, I can't help but wonder; since dragonboat only requires them to pedal on one side, do they all have super imbalanced bodies? Or do they actually switch sides once in a while to offset the imbalance?


And to sidetrack, I was doing my Pre U scholarship essay yesterday, and inevitably I also thought that if we mug too much, will we become imbalanced? Do we have to switch sides, like the dragonboaters, and do something different (like triathlon)? Then again, maybe being imbalanced in life is not such a bad thing.


But I'm pretty certain it is a bad thing for the dragonboaters. Because then, they cannot camouflage into the crowd - unlike the WV outlet.
