TOUR DE L'ILE AND UPDATE ON SUMMER LIST

Well, another year, another 35000 bikers, another 52 km, another tour de l'ile.

I swear, I've been looking forward for this event ever since the end of last year's tour de l'ile! I went with Cod this time and we decided to take as many poses as possible and I have to say, it's fun being creative on the spot and in public :P. It's one of my thrills in life! I strongly believe that in life, you need to be spontaneous at times and not worry about being weird in front of other people. You just got to do it and think to yourself that everyone else wants to do the same, but they're just too shy to do so!

There's something about biking around thousands of people and passing them one by one that just makes me feel great! The wind in your hair, zooming past other bikers, speeding down hill and climbing up hill on first gear! Besides passing people, and doing poses, tour de l'ile is all about getting free milk and free soap! And as much as possible :P. Me and Cod got each 4 bottles of milk, and two bags of dial sanitary stuff :P. Yea, that's the good life.






Today, I visited my old Marianopolis dragon boat team (named Descendants of the Dragon, DOD for short). I was super happy to see a lot of the old members still on the boat! They make me so proud. My successor, the new captain, reminds me a lot of myself when I first started dragon boat, the way he leads his team and the way he encourages everyone, and the traditional hip rotations that he makes everyone do that has been passed down for 3 generations :P! Chances are, my new mcgill team is going to compete against DOD and I'm pretty confident we'll cream them. Didn't see very good timing at today's practice from DOD...

Anyways, update on my summer so far: played tennis with kenny, jessie, marty and i'm slowly improving :P, succeeded the tour de l'ile, had 3 hours of dragon boat practice on three different teams in less than 24 hours, started planning for a movie that i'll post on youtube if it works out (something to do with not having milk with cereal for breakfast :P), finally purchased a new school bag that I simply love (old one had holes in the bottom, and the new one has many many pockets :P), played drums and sang on rock band for the first time and loving it (need to get it for guitar hero...), saw terminator (terribly disappointing), taking care of mom, selling chocolates for fundraising, planning a flash stick figure youtube series, played penumbra (a horror video game)and yada yada yada...

And before I stop writing, wanted to share with you guys a video that is probably the most stunning and most epic nature/environment movie I have ever seen... might be even better than BBC's Earth! It's an 1h30, but definitely worth watching any day! Make sure to hit HD and full screen!
