Haha. you must be referring to NJC. That school has along been a power house in canoeing and dragonboat. No wonder, the financial backing is so strong. They have a HUGE fleet of boats. Maybe not the navy. They are a Marine Unit and they do behave like one too. Disciplined and gungho.

They are doing bursting sets today. A number of people doing bursting sets together. They can just let me capsize easily anytime! ):

how many boats do they have? any NJC canoeist here? I think they are the only JC team that is so dedicated to the sport. Not putting down other teams at all mind you, just that they seemed to have a special something i dont feel in other things. well perhaps my own opininon. discipline is the thing maybe.

I think they have 20 -30 boats. Maybe more. scary. even monitor lizards don't dare to swim around when they are in the water. later kena hit n run. but i heard tt njc has a super devilish coach/teacher in charge. almost everytime training will have ppl injured.

Wah. No monitor lizards? Then can I join them instead? Haha.

But surprisingly, there are still a big number of people that come for training. Unlike my school, hahaha.

perhaps it gives them a strong sense of belonging? or perhaps they have a more successful recruitment drive every year for the new comers?

being coerce is really a chore, i feel that those pple wanna be disciplined.... which makes them such a successful lot... we've got lots to learn from them, as a motivated individual and a successful team.
