star one.

kayaking never been so difficult. and i thought i was quite good at it ok. ROARRRR.

so i was wrong. i'm aching ALL OVER.
kayaking is entirely a FULL BODY WORK OUT.
my god. arms, LEGS, HIPS, WAIST, HEAD.
and i have so many bruises. =((((
and abrasions on my fingers. from the sand.
sighhhh.

ok lah, met up with haoz, gene and weiyang on the train to take to tanah merah for our kayaking adventure. early in the morning. damn seh, and i felt like shitting. so they nicely decided to stop at simei cos' the shopping centre there is big and i can choose my toilet. HAHAHAHHA.

ate brunch. then slacked around and headed to MOE changi adventure camp. many planes man. so loudddd.
slacked around somemore until the rest arrived. it had been raining the entire day. so while waiting for the rain to stop, there was all the theory stuff and basic experience stories from the instructor.

when we finally headed out to sea, i was feeling damn nua already. realllllyyyy sleepy.

and they decided that we should do all the difficult stuff first. which really made me panic slightly. the planned capsize and one-man and two-man rescue. WAH LAU EH.

i eventually did all. the sea was really choppy with strong waves and wind. VERY VERY TIRED. and i could feel my energy emptying from every nerve. every muscle was aching badly already.

I DIDN'T KNOW THE FREAKING KAYAK WHEN FILLED WITH WATER IS SO SIBEI HEAVY. ARGHHHH.

dieded.

and they so kind gave us a "dancer" kayak. which is literally a dancer. because it turns and spins around like shit. not to mention easily capsize-able. ROAR.
not that i capsized other than the intended ones. but the turning around is all MINE. i am officially the TURN 360 DEGREE QUEEN. i think everyone knows me for that mans. sibei dulans.

spent the first day fighting the waves.

went out for dinner after that. met DEEPAN AND HIS GF IN TOWN!!! gasppppp. hahahaha. and he still remembers me!!! WHEEEE!!! so exciting. we nua-ed around wasting time. then all of us were so exhausted we decided to head back to camp for sleep. KO-ed. so nice ah, all 3 guys. HAHAHAHA. i was protected seh.

and ok lah, none of them snored. HAHAHAHAHAH. damn funny. cos' i threatened to whack anyone who snored loudly. then zh insisted he doesn't--he really doesn't. he BREATHES LOUDLY that's all. weiyang was wearing that army coat thing, which he had zipped up to his nose. that caused his breathing to become really loud.
and according to him, he was afraid that i might think that was snoring, so he hurriedly zipped it back down to below his nose. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. pengggg. ok, i'm that fierce eh? :P
gene side i don't know what happened leh. too far liao. =D

the night was...bearable. mozzies and chill. brrrr.
woke up still aching. washed up and breakfast-ed.
then was straight to the sea. had better control. learnt more new strokes.
i suck at reverse stroke. my arms were so cramped and tight i could hardly move.
still drizzling. battled the sea again.
died.

lunch.
back to sea. battle again. spin around again. but spinning less cos' i finally understood how to control A BIT. and wah lau eh. KI ordered mass capsize in deep sea. three man rescue is KILLER ok. haoz, shiai and I were like struggling in the water. damn jialat. finally got people come rescue us one by one. ok lah. i think everything is ok for two man rescue. but the climbing back onboard part in deep sea is damn jialat. cos' of current and everything. wahlaueh. and i always end up in awkward positions, then hafta twist alot to fit back in normally. HAHAHAHAHA.
pity the person who always support my kayak. =D

was more practise and battling about. then i got laughed at by a few other people OTHER THAN WEIYANG for spinning around. =(((( super paiseh. and my presto right side broke. hosei bo?
sighhh.

didn't get much tan overall leh. kept raining. sian one lor. but i think i got the UV, which made me damn red, like lobster. =(
which is now. but i think it'll fade by tml. hmmms.

i guess this course made me realise that kayaking out in the sea really depends on alot of things. it's ok to just kayak, but to know all the skills, the type of kayak used and be able to help others, or tell weather conditions and so on, is really not easy.

it's tempting to go onto star two, because our KI taught us many things that were supposed to be in star 2 in our star 1 course. but i guess it still depends on the time contraints. and my determination. it really needs alot of physical strength. ARGHHH.

i'm so lousy. so unfit!!!!

it's almost like cycling in the storm with nehneh and the stupid broken down bicycle. HAHAHAHHA.

oh wells, i have fate with rain, it seems.

i guess if i really want a full body work out, i will take on kayaking. very tiring.
and i thought it only needed my arms. how wrong i was!

now, it's back to LPP school. dreadful.

a real big thanks to the guys for the great company for the two days or so. it's pretty crazy really. though i can tell we get damn exhausted after some time. kayaking effects sets in damn slow. i feel like a BROTHER mans. HAHAHAHA.

and LIM ZIHAO, i will nor forgive you for the "SPIDER" joke. ROARRRR!!!!! i really thought there was a spiderrrr. idiot. and i won't fall for the shoulder tap again ok. zzzzz.

weiyang for his "WHAT ARE YOU DOING"-s. zzzzz.

gene was gentlemanly for paying for my expenses. please calculate and tell me the full cost. HAHAHAH. i will pay you back. sumpah. =)

interesting people. interesting sights. interesting self-thoughts. :)
it was a good getaway. physically strenuous though. i guess it's good not to dress so nicely, not to bother if my hair settles after waking up, not to bother if i look like shit, tees, shorts and flipflops. and my long lost prestos <3.

gene ah gene. got news with shiai must tell me ok! and send me the pics online! :)

sometimes, it's good to getaway from the bustling life for a while. from all the superficial stuff we do everything. from the chase. it really reminds you that there are simple things in life which you can still enjoy, and people who care surround you.

YA LAH, YOU GUYS ARE REALLY THE BEST GUY FRIENDS I CAN EVER HAVE. :)


rashes seem to be improving. though it's still in blotches. but it's like past the swelling state, i think. =X
mans, it better not leave scars. dulan mans.
