London is not my one of my usual work destinations but going to the London office for meetings sounded much palatable than getting stranded in Riyadh over the weekend.

On the 9th April, drove down to Borough Market in my rental car, a very nice Opel Insignia and left it at Park Street. I walked a few steps towards the London Bridge Tube Station and met Wei Hann. Richard Thiang arrived not too long after and the 3 of us were then waiting for Jen and Sean Chua. Jen and Sean were apparently having a wild shopping frenzy during their London-Paris pleasure trip. Soon all 5 of us were tucking into a hearty lunch and heartier conversation.

It was a beautiful and sunny Saturday morning; Borough Market was abuzz with activity. As we navigated around the displays of fresh produce, food, and flowers, we reveled in all the sights, sounds and tastes on offer. Acting like real tourists, obligatory souvenir photos in front of the London Tower Bridge and HMS Belfast were taken. However to me, the best part of this is just about meeting up outside of Singapore, reminiscing the good old times and discussing about the sport that bonded us together…”

The heavy downpours the days before granted us a bright sunny day to welcome our baby Dragons. :)
Our highly anticipated Orientation had us seeing a huge turnout that Sunday. With prior experience to rowing or not, I’m pretty sure the newbies had fun. If it isn’t so, there’s still a nice  bronze tan to show off after. *Winks*

Let's get the strokes right!

A special thanks to current Kiyah-Splashhies who came down to assist in the orientation.

Don't play play with our resident Ah Lian - Ting Ting.

Oh look! What’s here?

So that’s one Kiyah-Splashhie! known. Many more Kiyah-Splashhie! ZOOM-INs to come. Check back for more!

I hope all who joined us for Orientation had fun, and hopefully decide to join the Kiyah-Splashh! family.  You will take with you new friendships, a healthier and fitter body, a stronger discipline-instilled mindset and a new found love for the stinky Kallang waters.

All of these, for only a small Season Fee.

Hey, nothing is free in this world. :D

*WARNING!*

PAY UP OR… would you like a new coat of paint for your door? :p
