1 Star Kayking Course - Day 2

Right so day 2. Started off early again, sigh. MRT drama with jia zhen. Don't ask. We're just not good at coordinating mrt stunts. So we were late. Again. But i think the guy's used to us being late haha. He asked us "who was late this time?" Eileen, jz and me refused to answer him. We just said we will not sabo each other.

So off we headed off to the dirty water again for our second day of kayaking. Aiyo, drama with the kayaks again. Felt so pathetic. -_- Everyone headed off in their single kayaks so fast, so i had to pair up with someone else. Aiyo i dare not pair up with the capsize fella. He's damm funny. Later i'll explain. And you'll see why i'm lucky not to have him. Haha OOPS. Anyway i paired up with this super zai guy. Wah heng. Haha. But he seems to have a lot of breath. Constantly counting "left, right, left, right, left, right", like not tired. A bit noisy haha but he's fun. At least he entertained me. It was have been worse if my partner is super quiet, then wah awkwardness!!

We all learnt more technical skills. Goodness, so tiring. I really dislike the side movement --> The draw stroke, and the classical draw etc. YUCKS. Couldn't get it for so long. But of course, yours truly got it at the last moment, and out of pure excitement, yelled that "i moved!!" and embarrassed myself. again.

Day 2 was more of learning how to rescue people. It was super crappy. I really hated the rescue thing. I know the rest did too, because they were so tired, poor people. But i hated it for a different reason.

1) i didn't learn anything
2) i felt super pathetic, like a loner. zzzz

Cause we had to practice the rescue stunt in groups of three. There were ten of us, so guess who was the last one? Sitting at some random corner of the beach, playing with litter in the water. -.- Usually when Eileen and Jz are out in the water, i watch them and learn. But this time, they were so far out in the river i couldn't even see what they were doing. So die lor. Sit at some corner and sleep. zzz when everyone came back, they were all too tired to redo the rescue thing with me. So basically i learnt how to be a VICTIM only, not how to rescue use. And bear in mind that being the victim requires me to CAPSIZE. Again. Not something that i like to do. I mean i like dipping in the water, dirty water and all, but i don't like somersaulting in it. Pah. Eileen was part of my rescue team by the way. See? A good girlfriend (her) always rescues her boyfriend (me) ! Okay jz "kind of" recused me too, since she was in the doubles with eileen. She was the one who held all the paddles. The other guy who rescued me was the fella who constantly capsizes. Zzz i also scared. haha he was with another fella in the doubles, but this one didn't help. Just eye power me only. Haha technically cannot help much, too far behind.

Anyway, we did a few nonsensical stuff. Such as playing water polo with one guy's crocs slippers, and rafting up for all of us to stand up together. Zzz we never managed to get the whole team to stand up. Cause people kept capsizing all the time. I was one of the few. I was holding on to jz's hand, when i lost my balance and fell into the water. I THOUGHT i fell into the water, but eileen and jz said i JUMPED in. I guess i must have been too panicky and reflex jumped in. Eileen was funny. Haha she was wobbling, and kept standing up, and squatting down. The fella who always capsizes for no rhyme of reason was beside her in a doubles kayak, with another guy. Don't know what happened, one moment eileen was standing up with them beside her, the next moment eileen was squatting and they capsized. Ahahahaha shoot. You really wonder how they capsize. And the fella's partner said "wo shi wu gu de!!" ahahahaha damm funny. Now what did i tell you? Suay to partner the capsize king right? Hahahha not to be mean la, but he really does capsizes every few moments. Don't know how he managed to capsize also.

Oh yeah, we rafted up to change kayaks too, meaning eileen and jz, who were in the doubles, changed to single kayaks. Eileen took some guy's kayak, and jz took mine. While exchanging with jz, i was so scared i would capsize, i just plonk plonk into her hole, in the process hitting both my knees against the edge. WAH PAING. now blue black.

So after that, we hung around in the water, stagnant. Eileen and me were bored, and we were simply drifting near the shore. That silly woman, called me. So i turned around the talk to her, and found myself drinking kallang's water. SHE SPLASHED ME!!! Grrrr... gotta learn how to do that. Silly brown hair guy was laughing at me. And he's the one who's always laughing at me la! I always close my eyes when i collide with people. First day i closed both eyes, second day i close one. So he told me "wah good improvement. Now close one eye only". Zzzz -_________- But he's one of the few who entertained me la. Otherwise i will be super bored.

Ahh nearly forgot. Our instructor made the whole team mass capsize, and think of ways to rescue ourselves. Wah piang. Haha, capsize, AGAIN!!! ROAR! Somersaulted, drank water again. What else is new? I was the first girl to be rescued. It was actually jz's kayak, but jz and eileen didn't want to climb up la. Wah sigh. So i malued myself again by attempting to assist in the rescue, but to no avail. In fact, i was quite useless -.- The only thing i was good for was to help carry paddles. Zzzz...

Next was the water polo game. HELLO PEOPLE! Haha eileen and my team WON!! Wahahaha hee! Jz was in the other team. Show me an "L" jz! Hahahhaa okay okay won't be so mean. We have tactics okay. Hahaha fun. =) But wah, chiong like mad. They anyhow bang the kayak here and there. Super jia lact.

I guess that was about it for that day. At the end of the whole thing, i played with the dog there. Super sweetie pie. It's a girl =) Sigh... We used the hose to bathe ourselves. We couldn't tahan the showers there, so we walked to the park to shower instead. Wah super sickening. Some random indian worker came into the LADIES' TOILET and stared at me la. While i was wearing my swimming costume alone!! -cries- feel so violated. He saw my bare legs and arms and all. sniff. Sigh, oh well. Whatever. Hope he goes blind one day.Well we changed and had dinner at geylang. Was starving by then. Walked past don't know how many lorongs to eat nice food, which in the end was SUPER spicy. Lucky the soya bean and you tiao made up for it. =)

If you want to eat nice bean curd and soya bean, go to geylang lorang 27A. It's called Yong He something something. It's a whole coffee shop. VERY NICE... =)

Yep we've come to the end of it all! We're gonna get our 1 star certificate soon! Can't wait! Maybe, just maybe, we'll go for the 2 star kayaking course as well! Wahahhaa, but as for the 4 and 5 star one, erm overseas, er... maybe not. Er.. haha!!

I think this course was worth it la, in terms of the certificate, and we DID learn stuff. More than we ever could in any camp. Only thing was that i felt a bit pathetic sometimes, but no matter. I enjoyed the single kayak =) Sigh happy. FULFILLED!

Congrats to Eileen, Jia Zhen, and Me! The kayaking sopranos! -_- hahaha
