AFTER MORE THAN HALF A YR...
i woke up at 6AM.
damn scared i would be late.
haha.
heard there was a shuttle bus picking us from toa payoh.
so went all the way there.
freaking shit.
waste of time and energy.
there wasnt any.
it was the meeting place cus' the rest stay near there.
FINEE.
i was in a BLUR again.

so anyway.
it only starts at 10.
tmr i'll just take 89 there.
the course is at changi sea sports.
okay here goes.

DAY ONE of kayak star one course.

started at 10.
headed to sea.
(bloody dirty and salty)
gross.
HIGHTIDE.the waves were damn strong.

we got in.
learnt the basics.
(ALL OVER AGAIN) x323498234 times.
right.
then learnt the capsize drill.
was fun.
haha.
but i didnt make it the first time.
aha.
the kayak refused to overturn.
got seawater all choked up in my system.
but it was alright after that.
haha.
made it thru the second time.
there was this guy mr A that was scared to capsize.
(remember mr A)
but he did it in the end.

break for lunch.
we went to the hawker centre dripping wet
and soaked to our skins.
from kayak there was 4 of us.
mr A was from dragonboat NYP.
the rest was random. (DONT BOTHER)
haha.

mr A joined us.
OH.
i forgot to mention.
he has super DEFINED muscles.
BUT.
haha.
as usual. such muscles are for show.
he could barely carry one kayak himself across the field.
damn. i had to help him.

okay. then we headed back.
the tide slowly went down
but waves and current was stil damn strong.
we got our boats and went into sea.
gosh.
nearly puked out my lunch!
freaking shit.
seasick.
until now there's stil the after effect.
its giving me a headache.

anyway.
yea. then when we headed back into the water,
3 pple CONSTANTLY kept capsizing.
haha. not purposely.
but i dunno. the current?!?!
but anyway.
mr A was one of them. haha
all of us the kayak ppl were just freaking bored
waiting and waiting..... more waiting.
the instructor was real tired rescueing so many.
that he decided to teach us how the rescue drill.
HAHA. that's like uh... just extra.
so anyway.
yea. we learnt it.
and later made us break into groups of 3.
GUESS WHAT.
mr A is in my GROUP.
dont get me wrong.
he's a nice guy. but just not in the sea...
he just cant stabilise himself.
so anyway.
we had to take turns doing the capsize drill.
and then the rescue drill.
so well.
yea. it was fun. but mr A was just so unbalanced.
and i had problems holding him.
it seemed as though both of us were gonna capsize together.
that bad.

so anyway.
i made it.
when it was his turn to capsize,
i happened to be the main rescuer.
the person giving instructions and guiding.
great.
so i managed to do it. WELL.hahah
got complimented for uh...
being dominating and in control of the situation.
MUAHAHAHA.
found it hilarious.
was just trying ta get mr A to listen to me
while he was busy trying to stay close and trapping water beneath my boat.
think he's slightly afraid of the sea.
but not the point.
so yea. i managed to have the MUSCLES to pull out his kayak and drain it.
NOT BAD EH.
i'm STRONG.
haha. the muscles are in working condition.
so yea. was damn happy after that.

then we had another exercise.
all of us were told to capsize.
and pair up.
btw, we were out in the open sea.
the current was badbadbad.
then we were suppose to come up with our own strategy
to get back into our boats.
so me and this other girl did it together.
was hard cus both of us were quite small.
but i was STRONGER
haha.
this drill was bad. in the sense.
the current was horrible.
and kept bobbing up and down.
SEASICKNESS to the max.
till i had to stop and just lean against the boat to rest.
otherwise i think i'll seriously just vomit and float away.
but after resting was alright.
so yea. we managed.
haha. YAY.
another success.
hahaha.
so we were done for the day.

okay.
the interesting part.
there wa this guy with us.
darius -jo you know who-
haha.
he's DAMN FUNNY!
omg.
and i totally thought he was gay or something
when we first got into kayak.
but anyway.
hahah. the whole time was just freaking laughing
at all the crap he said and did.
he's damn funny.
like REALLY funny. not the lame kind.
hahaha.
ohman. one funny man.
never laughed so much at whatever someone said before.
gosh.
looking forward to tmr to laugh again.
not cus of the course.
and NO. no feelings involved.
better off if i could just be one of his gym buddies or smthg.
seriously it'll be more fun.
anyway.
his dad owns a fitness centre.
WOOHOO.
he invited me to go.
AND AND AND...
there's muaythai boxing too!
the one that i always wanted to try.
YAY. we're going there after exams.
cant wait xD for the gym and boxing.
hehe. rawwks.

hmm. okay. that concludes everything.
and i came home.
guess what.

i found BRUISES all over both my legs!
one i got cus the kayak slipped and fell on my sheen.
but there's another BIGGER one which i have NO IDEA where it came from.
and rest of the small ones.

and the usual fibreglass cuts.
never gotten SOOO many before.
almost my whole hand is covered with it.
btw. is there a way to remove it?
hmm.
i'll just be patient and wait.
it'll be gone in a day or two.
YES.

and i've gotta be up early tmr again.
just not as early.
