from team xtreme to wedding banquet seater

went for my first dragonboat practice on sunday. twas extremely funny at first since we all thought it would be so easy but we kept paddling at the wrong times and hitting eachother's paddles in the beginning. but then by the end of the 1.5 hours we were much more streamlined and really got that boat zoomin! things i learned, it's not about muscle, it's about teamwork. the beginning matters more than the end because that is where all the power is required. it feels nice to "let it ride" and feel the momentum you built up after all your hard work getting it to go. i also liked the fact that I can apply these general rules to B1 and B2. yes, i'm a geek like that and i think about business while rowing a boat. oh well, what else is new?

after the practice i raced to hunny's house to shower and get ready for the wedding dinner. my cousin already got married but this was a dinner in norcal for the family's church friends. hunny and i were responsible for telling people their seat assignments at abc seafood in milpitas. there was a little hiccuping at first since all the table numbers had to be changed. eventually everything ended to be all right once i sorted the list so things were easier to find and also started making use of the find function. the photographer sat at our table and grabbed bites between pics. turns out by day he's applying for an SAP consulting position but photography is his hobby. doing weddings helps him pay for his expensive hobby since his lens was $1500 and the body of his camera was $2500. maybe in the future when i have more time, i'll pick up this lucrative hobby also. i like lucrative hobbies. ;)
