What a Wonderful World

Not from Louis Armstrong or Rod Stewart.... but from me.

I see SKPs of genuine and hardworking...

I see them moving quick and fast, just for everything to works...

Some with events and some without but with passion and love...

Giving everything that they could to make other days....

I see smiles on all faces, working happily and making others smiles too.

And the results, What a wonderful NUS Lifesaving team.

Thank you so much, without you all, it is just black and one....

Post Nationals (part 2)

Sorry for the long break in between the postings. In between work, sleep + Crystal threatening to complain to my boss for blogging during office hrs, I struggled to complete this. To make matters worst, I still belong to the Powerpoint era (unlike PYJ's movie-maker era). I was happy to finally complete the presentation on Wed morning and hoped that it would be in time to pay tribute to the birthday boy cum supporting actor cum darkhorse.
To my dismay, Blogger doesn't accept .pps files! It took me another 36hrs to finally convert successfully to .avi format, after trying about 15 different converters and unsuccessfully converted at least 30 times!
Back to the main topic...having earlier shared with you the exemplary sportsmanship of our competitor, I like to share with you our very own case study of true grit, courage and spirit.
(If this still doesn't work, I quit trying anymore ...will send by email instead)

Thanks for the memories!

Hey guys,

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for a great competition on Saturday and Sunday. It's still one of my first times competing in a sport.
Even though I've only been here for no more than a year, it feels like I've known you guys for ages. This is THE only team I know of, who never gives up cheering, who will always be there for each other and never say die in the face of adversity. In short, a family of lifesavers.

All the trainings, sweat and cuts were definitely not wasted. Everyone had an important part to play. Especially the people cheering. You'll never know how much energy there is still left in your body till you hear someone cheering loudly for you and it is this energy that pushes you to fight to the end.

Regardless of whether we got the medals/overall champions or not, I always feel that the journey is more important than the destination. Life is a journey and death will ultimately be our final resting place but how we run this journey is entirely up to us. I'm glad we've made the journey together this far.

Looking forward to the next training, TeamNUS!

P.S. Relive the good old days here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_D7cqKHqlg

Post Nationals (part 1)

Team,
this is my 1st post and hence I like to make this a special one.
I was just going thru the photos I've taken and I want to share something that struck me deeply & positively during yesterday's competition. It was not about an ULC member but nevertheless it is someone I think we all can learn from. I happened to snap this picture of SE's Christel Fung congratulating our Xi Yun after the Board Finals. CF came over specially and very quickly to congratulate XY after she found out she was disqualified and lost her gold medal! I noticed CF was genuine and sincere (unfortunately my cheap camera was too slow to capture her warm handshake with a great smile on her face). Maybe it was not my camera but rather me who was stunned for a moment but I was truly impressed with her great Sportsmanship despite her young age and her abilities. Not easy to find such humility especially in star swimmers. She has earned my respect.
ULC, we have been winners many times, mostly worthy (sometimes lucky) winners. I am sure we have won the envy (probably some jealousy too) from many, but I think we will win more hearts if we show that we can be gracious losers too!

42-year-old man dies after competing in triathlon

SINGAPORE: Tragedy hit the OSIM Singapore Triathlon event at East Coast Park on Sunday as 42-year-old Lee Wee Sing died after he competed in the swim leg of the relay race.

Mr Lee was the CEO of Deutsche Telekom Asia in Singapore, and it was his first time taking part in a triathlon.

According to a press release, Mr Lee was spotted struggling and disoriented during the swim by a marshal at 1:06pm.

He was competing in the Olympic Distance Mix/Open relay category.

He was immediately brought to shore by a jet ski.

When he reached the shore, he was foaming at the mouth and unconscious, and paramedics immediately performed cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on him.

Two doctors also rushed to the scene and subsequently took over the CPR and applied an automated external defibrillator on Mr Lee.

He was transferred to the Changi General Hospital (CGH) at 1:25pm.

CGH informed the organisers at 2:35pm that Mr Lee had died.

Friends and team mates were distraught and shocked at Mr Lee's sudden death.

Mr Lee is said to have been a good swimmer, but it is not known if he was used to swimming in the open sea - where the swim leg of triathlons are commonly held.

Mr Lee's team mates told Channel NewsAsia he was not known to have any underlying medical conditions and was said to be very healthy and fit.

They said he had been training for the event and was well-prepared.

Said Allen Yeo, one of Mr Lee's relay team mates: "Among the three of us, he's the most active and he had been training a lot, so we were all ready for this event. We really wanted to clear this event and take the Osim medal."

"He's been training at least for the last two weeks regularly on a daily basis in the pool for the distance that he's competing,” said Ernest Chua, another relay team mate. "And he's been monitoring his progress on a daily basis and updating us so I think he was quite prepared for this event."

The Triathlon Association of Singapore said all safety precautions were in place.

Said Mark Tay, president of the Triathlon Association of Singapore: "He was about 100 metres from the second yellow buoy - that means he only had about 350 metres left...

"In triathlons, the swimming leg is the most so-called dangerous leg because in the sea there're a lot of uncertainties, a lot of under currents and all that so we had deployed a lot of safety canoes, life guards on boats and even paramedics."

The last death that occurred at a triathlon was in 2007 when 17-year-old Thaddeus Cheong died.

A lack of a defibrillator and ambulance on standby was cited as one of the reasons the teenager's life could not be saved.

Mr Lee's body has been sent to the Singapore General Hospital for an official coroner's enquiry to investigate the cause of death.

Mr Lee was married with a 12-year-old daughter.
