waah~~ the 1 star kayaking course was so fun!! in the end, only jean, chun kiat, weldon and i went for the course. so the other 6 participants are all strangers. but, we managed to hit off pretty! they were all very friendly. they are amanda, zhao wen, silas, victor, jonathan and soon lee. our instructor is called kenneth and he has a twin brother kenny, i think, who teaches at the same club which made it very confusing for us.

ok, silas knows kenneth because they went for some expedition in thailand before. so he brought his cousin, victor, and friend, amanda. amanda, in turn brought her other friend zhao wen. hmmm...a bit sad tt i didn't really got to talk much with the girls cuz i'm kinda shy with gals. hee. oh ya, silas is from nyp and is in climbing. jonathan will give an impression that he's a beng la. i mean dunno how many earring/ear studs la. he smokes summore la. *ahem*underage*ahem* but once you talk to him you realize that he's quite a nice person la, not the AP type of person you would imagine him to be. he even told us how he pierced his own tongue with a needle and stud la. scary. but seriously, i would like to admonish anyone who would want to smoke not to. he's only 16 but he looks older than us la. conclusion: smoking makes you age faster. hahaz. then there's soon lee. he's the oldest in our group at 24. he works at singpost jurong east branch i think as a trainee manager.

ok, so we learnt the parts of the kayak. clarification: kayak has a deck, canoe doesn't. also foward row, reverse row, J-draw, classical draw, capsize drill and somem basic rescue work. omg. kallang water is DIRTY. trust me. low tide is the worse. you get slimy sludgy stuff at the coast and lots of leaves and whatever rubbish you throw into the longkang and gets washed into the river. you can even see a thin layer of oil at some parts la.

oh ya, we saw the nyjc dragonboat team training. said hi to xueling, hui sin, wei ling and jia jun. well, i passed 1 Star! w00t! next: 2 star! i exchanged numbers with victor so we maybe we can all go for 2 star together! oh yes, i just have to mentino that the seasports club is so stingy that we had to pay an additional $2 to laminate our certificate la. sigh~

ok, jean's birthday was yesterday so she went to meet her parents for dinner after the lesson. so we celebrated with her today. so, after everything, we took bus to marine parade and met keng foo, shouvik and anurag. then we blindfolded jean and pushed her into a taxi and took her to spizza at serangoon gardens (she didn't know of course). then we celebrated her birthday there! amande met us there and it was elke's last night as a waitress there. the food was not bad la but the cake that we bought for her was the best!

yea~ these 2 days had been so fun. looking foward to more fun activities coming up. w00t. so, that's all for today. until next time, cya~ oyasumi~
