  no

  i just want to see how much training there is before making a conclusion and claim whether it will affect studies much, or whether it is due to people

They are self-centred, wear flip-flops all the time, wear singlets all the time, brainless (most of them are in engineering courses), show off their muscles but dont know how to relate to people and they are usually single because they always have the "come get my number already you know you want me" look instead of being nice and gracious and approaching girls themselves.

  And yes, 457 out of 461 of their clothings are from NUM, and Freshbox.

  
  wad is jock? can explain

  training schedule goes like this for NYP. I have no idea about the others

  Tuesday 6pm-10pm [Weights training for strength inclusive of running]

  Wednesday-Rowing for 2 hours or so

  Thursday 6pm-10pm [Weights training for endurance inclusive of running]

  Saturday Rowing 3hours

  Sunday Rowing 3hours

   

  Anyway, training is already pushing myself to the limits.

   

  yes. from what i've seen, dragon boaters have a penchant for wearing flip flops, and no they're not self centred, they share protein shakes.

  Well, my friends in NJC canoeing seemed to be coping well enough back then.

  They had water trainings after school for around 3-4 hours, 4 days a week. Water training becomes a nearly daily thing when a competition is approaching though. Ther were also physical trainings three times a week in the morning before lesson starts.

  dear dragonboater

  a sincere advice to you.. i have frens who join dragonboat and left due to it tight schedule competing this and that

  their studies is very average .

  wearing mooks and NUM is quite common among dragonboater as they wont want to stuff a big bag ard singapore

  if you really want to be successful in your studies in poly in ngee ann poly and in dragonboat ..i guess the answer is ...

  virtually impossible

  my fren quit after 2nd year as he got his COM

  Certificate of Merit in Poly is a big heavy medal

  As a graduates of Ngee Ann Poly , i have nothing against dragonboat which is perfectly a good cca to learn about teamwork and working as a team

  but u need the time in life to learnt beyond rowing a boat.

  Ngee Ann poly give me the strength to work in a challenging outside world..

  any cca will do ... just be honest to yourself

  when u see ur grades not well.. think of it..its ur parents CPF u use .. u need to pay it back with your money

  either u can be muscular and sluggish like my gym personal trainer fren

  or u are brainy and earn lots of $$$ :)

   

  my 5 cents of advise

  regards

  Collin

   i must say dragonboat comes from someone sick idea to make it a competitive sports

   

  it supposed to commemorate Qu Yuan ,how did it end up so many young ppl lives lost in Tonle Sap and other river ?

  Remember the dragonboaters who lost their lives in the Tonle Sap river

  Try coping with db and studies together? if cannot then drop db. I think that one of the both will give way. Good luck to you.
