expedition-ed.
it was 18kn long from changi sea sports club to many places, around ubin, through the magrove swamps, then back to sea sports club.
i must say that it is REALLY TIRING, and the waves and sea wrecked havoc by steering my kayak rightwards, out to the sea and i had a hard time trying to navigate my canoe back in line...... tiring, but fun...
loves xia darling, ezah darling and yingtao.. i would say we had a great time, plus the instructors are really fun people to hang out with. there was this one point of time when i felt like i was breaking down in the middle of the sea, like there's no destination, no aims, and my kayak just isnt moving at all due to the current, this instructor tried entertaining me alot, but i din really answer cos i was really on the verge of giving up.
he kept reminding me that he could tow me back to shore, BUT i remembered how i was towed back during my one star course, and i felt so embarrassed, which i dont want it to happen again, so i persevered on.... and i'm rally glad i did it eventually, without being towed back. (:
we were tricked that we have to get out of our kayaks and climb over a fence, and me, xia and this guy named, edwin, were the first three in the queue... edwin was instructed to get off his kayak, climb up the fence, and the instructor at the other side of the fence would try to pulley his kayak over, and it will be likewise for all of us... at this point of time, we already passed our paddles over to the other side, so we could climb the fence... when EVERYONE'S paddles were passed to the other side, and edwin was off his kayak, and up on the fence, the instructor took a picture of him, and told us there's an opening to go over the other side. oh, what's worse? paddle with our hands, and it's NOT NEAR. hahhas. open sea with bare hands into the swamp area, it was fun, cos xia and i pulled n pushed, that's what i call friendship (:
all in all, we made it. and it's really fun... i like it. there's one more coming up in june.... 2days 1 night to the causeway.. hmmm... june.... i think i will have to really really cut down alot alot of my weight to make through this... just in case my arms are not strong enough to kayak my body.. HAHAHS! what's more? i need to be really light cos this expedition, we'd be paired with a partner gor the whole entire trip... hmmm... actually, i'm kinda looking forward to it... (: let's go darlings!
yippee!
