Indoor training tomorrow, Thursday, 13 March 2008

Dear team mates,

ready to run at 730p.m. Weekday training will increase to 3 times a week with one weekend training(club) and the other weekend training reserved for National Training.

A comment from an anonymous guy/gal who says that our training is like military training.

This is a great analogy. However...

1. More than 10 of Shiok players are officers in the SAF. More than 80% of our guys completed National service. I think DK has the next highest number of officers in Ultimate. I dare to say our training is nowhere near National Service. Our's too relax and we get to go home after training... :)

2. This guy/gal I assume, had not serve NS, therefore in no position to comment. Next, even if he or she had serve NS, he/she did not attend our training. Therefore, he/she is in no position to comment again.

3. If my training is military style, then I think it is working out right as we have more than 2o plus people turning up for indoor training.

I like such comments as it gives me more viewership for my blog. Thanks!
