WHOOOOOOOO!!! kayaking was just great today, only thing was i didn't get my tan, but whu cares! john, clara, zhiyang, sis. jill, keli, serina, sher, tim and i went and some JC ppl joined our group. ok just a quick [ha] run through of wad we diddd. met at yishun mcdonalds, [my family had breakfast there] and s. jill picked us all up. went for a long drive to kallang and got a lil lost and was unable to find the correct place for a short while. found the place and met my boggle-eyed sir. ohkays, cannot call him tt now because it's mean. didn't expect to meet him and i behaved pretty badly the last time i saw him, so i relly wanted to hide my face when he walked up to me and sher with a HUGE smile [seriously, he has a big smile and array of teeth. uh, in a good sense. good dental hygine. ??] anyways, he gave us kayaking theory 101 and we got our kayaks and set off for the beeeeeechh! at the shore, more theory, then, LAUNCH OFFF! practiced wad he taught us on land when we were in the water. the weather had been quite cloudy ever since we got there. no rain yet. so, after practicing and playing around and teasing sir abt singing [sher only you get tt part] it was dreaded capsize drillllll timeee. WOOSH! got it done and over with quite quickly, and it was real fun.the whole group was split into two groups of four. our group did the drill first and the other group got to do it after we ate lunch. after we capsized we were supposed to swim and bring the boat back to the shore. in doing so, EVERYONE had a turn getting stuck in the think, dark grey mud that covered half my shin and stole my bro's adidas water sports shoe. yes. singular. one. the ud swallowed one shoe up and sucked it down so deep none of us could find it. money flyyy byee byee. sobs. he got a scolding from my dad when we got home. so, after capsizing like idiots -- LUNCHEE! had chicken rice at a nearby coffee shop in our capsized clothes. nice. after lunch we got more theory abt how to move sideways [believe me sir used chimmer terms than 'how to move sideways'] and got to work, hard work practicing. practiced different strokes, reversing and gg forward, and then, showtime! the four who hadn't capped yet had their time and a good audience. lol. we then did our 50m swim test which we all completed with ease. ((: rested a while nd launched out again to head for shore to pack and wash up. had something i guess you could call a bath, and headed home sleepily.

some funny things tt happened in our day:

sir tied my kayak to a buoy so that everyone could gather around it without me drifting away. after they gathered, he talk finish, and everyone go aredy, he forgot to untie us and we were left wondering why we couldn't move as we too had forgotten we were attatched. i ended up screaming for sir like some moron and everyone was staring at me. he was relly far away lorh, dun scream then do wad?!

gabriel and zhiyang took one kayak. it looked like a see-saw.

saliva flew out of sir's mouth and landed on me when he was instructing everyone on the beach. don't stand too close to him. at least 6 feet away. yuckk.
