ohkays, ya'll church ppl saw me all red and lobstery tooday! well, it is with all joy that i declare the following : I COMPLETED MY ONE STAR KAYAKING COURSEE! *smiles stupidly*

yaya i know lots of ppl complain about me being law-saw and posting too much so i'll make it quick [as if] and run through yesterday. many apologies for not posting yesterday. i was too busy sleeping.

waited at yishun mcdonalds and met everyone there. b.darren picked us all up and headed for kallangggg! we did not get lost this time, and found the place with ease. once we reached there, got our kayaks and vests and went toilet and locked our bags up in the wooden locker and headed to the beach! launched off and warmed up for a while, practicing what we learned in the previous week. zhiyang had problems fitting into the kayak and had to test a few to find the right 'size'. lol. this week we got single kayaks, which we had not used before, and we had to get used to it. it wasn't very hard, in fact, it was easier than the doubles. the sun was blazing hot. after warming up, sir made us practice our 360dgree spin. did that with easee. :) now it was what everyone had been 'waiting' for -- RESCUE ! we broke up into groups of three and each of us had to be either victim, main rescuer, or assistant rescuer. i was victim first, and i had to capsize. [says capsize with much drama!] i managed to get rescued after much .. comotion. LUNCH! went for lunch. i had BEEF HORR FANNN! WHOO! it was nice. i stuffed myself because in the sun, my energy gets drained relly fast. purposely drank sugar cane for the extra suger. smart rite? lol. [rolls eyes] by that time all of us were red and burning, but more heat was to come! headed punctually back to the beach and waited for our instructor. once we got back, we did more capsizing so everyone got a turn at every role, especially victim. i rescued shermaine and she rescued clara. had more practice and practice and then learned how to do some rudder manuvering thing. i didn't spell tt right, did i. lol. wells, we practiced again. he then taught us to do something with the paddles to avoid capsizing. while he was demonstrating, he accidentally capsized. as if tt isn't enough, he tried to get back up by himself so we didn't have to rescue him. haha. in the end tim and zhiyang got to put their knowledge to the test and rescued him. yah. rescue sounds so drama. helped him lah. lol. now the jc ppl had to go home, and we from church could go on a mini expedition. anyways, we were out of time and it was about to rain, so in the end, we just played a game on our kayaks. at first we were supposed to do a kallang wave and STAND in our kayaks. then we changed game and just sat on top of the kayaks with our legs wrapping around the kayak and paddled around like idiots toward the instructor. lol. he told us this was the kayak igallop. we paddled to shore and headed home.

some funny things tt happened in our day:

zhiyang found a tennis ball and we got possession of it. played around with it for a while and finally i flung it at sir. he got fedup and confisicated it. i took it back before lunch when he was doing smth. yay! souvenier. shermaine has it now.

zhiyang capsized like, 5 times.

the sir called the victim a patient, then laughed at himself.

gabriel turned naughty and started pouring and splashing water on us girls.

tim tried to splash water on sir, and sir almost capsized him. before he could, tim jumped out of his boat.

tim did not loose any shoe. yay!!

when the wakeboaders pass by they make a huge wave. we were lining up and it made our kayaks bang from side to side very.. noisily. our screamings made it even more noisy. seriously, we were screaming our lungs out.

TOODAY WE ALL LOOK LIKE LOBSTERSSS!!
