AEF!!!!
HAHA HAD KAYAKING TODAY!!!!

woke up at 6.30, and pangsai-ed(i know i very houlianpi XD) till 6 50 which is very very late and i was really almost LATE FOR SCHOOL but phew there are no SECURITY-GUARDS-WHO-STOP-YOU-TO-WRITE-WHEN-YOU-REACH-AT-7 55 there! :DD rushed up the escalator with Remya. eloooo u still owe me 1.90 XD had some breathing difficulties, not surprising. Wben  i was born i was sent to ICU with tubes all around my nose because of breathing difficulties saved me =D. Something wrong with my respiratory structure blabla. sigh. :( :( :( :( :((

lalala, chatted and idled at assembly area. waited until 8.25 then they brought us down.
:)

we were divided into TWO groups, and me, faye, venetia, amanda, isabelle and junru were grouped together..
..then natalie's my partner wooooot :D

but we were going to do STAR-1(is it how it's spelt?) for our group(B5-B8) XD the others(B1-B4) they did the kayaking first.
ahhhhhhhh. IT RAINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WOOOO THEN WE WERE ALL DRENCHED AND SOAKED COMPLETELY BY THE RAIN. AND IT'S NOT HOT TOO! =DDDD

we were introduced to instructors...Ma/ervin, Ti, Willian, Eugene, Mia and some others i forgot...but haha Isabelle told me something REALLY FUNNEY about Mae/rvin. NOT TELLING! XD
then as were were walking as a single file towards the kayaking place(for our group), we walked past Instructor Mia. and then she picked up the phone, and say "HEY BABE" . OMGOSH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THEN ME AND FAYE AND VENETIA STARTED LAUGHING MANN hahahahahaahhaahaa.....

WHILE IT'S RAINING, we tried to keep our eyes open. we learned the parts of the paddle and kayak...
then after that the rained stopped. so moved the kayaks, paddles, blablabla...
for our group, we did a SWIMMING TEST. ohnoes, i dont know how to swim D; i mean i haven't swim IN THE PAST TWO YRS really, and scared that i will forgot how to swim...D; but yay someone told me to swim like a FROG, and i got reminded by hmmhmm<3, then ....=D i know how to swim liao! but very scary leh with Lyn closing behind me ahyayayayaya hahahahahahaha =DDD

After we had a swimming test, we went ashore. Actually, the water's quite CLEAN! =DDD it's very beautiful, and glistening in the sun....ahh. but we saw THREE DEAD FISHES ON SHORE, with gigantic blue-ish houseflies and some other insects on it...the colour is really pretty on the fishes..but ahyo poor fishes. D;

then we went for CAPSIZING.
I finally tasted what it feels like, to DROWN.
really, srsly, i almost drowned.
I capsized, tapped three times, and i didnt straighten my leg to break free, so i got STUCK THERE IN THE KAYAK, UNDERWATER, CAPSIZED. I STRUGGLED AND STRUGGLED, AND KICKED AND KICKED.(i know i was very despo) And my whole BODY STARTED TO SINK DOWN, AND THE SCARY PART IS THAT I COULD NOT FEEL THE BOTTOM AT ALL! i sank down, and opened my eyes in the water. It's my VERY FIRST TIME OPENING MY EYES IN WATER. u know what i saw???I SAW LIGHT. REALLY. LIGHT AND THEN BROWN WATER. AND THEN BUBBLES AND SMALL HURRICANE. FOR A MOMENT I REALLY THOUGHT IM GOING TO DIE. REALLY. I even BREATHED UNDERWATER USING MY NOSE. All the water went in D;....after that I TRIED TO JUMP IN THE WATER TO MAKE MYSELF AFLOAT..SUDDENLY I COULD SMELL THE FRESH AIR. AHHHHH THEN I CRIED. LITERALLY. ...IT'S A RATHER PAINFUL DRASTIC EXPERIENCE FOR ME DROWNING. THEN INSTRUCTOR MA/ERVIN JUST STOOD IN THE WATER AND SAID WELL DONE! wth...;( :( i wonder if the life vest really helped...o.o :( :( :( luckily i no need to do tat again. it's my fault for not "unlocking" my legs in time. :( :( :(
now i dont feel the water's clean anymore hahaha lol.

Then, me natalie nicole ler ler and some others went to help the others, and emptied the water in the kayak. It's SO FUN to be in the water, swimming, and although i'm ALLERGIC TO SAND(hands only), i didnt dare to tell the instructors because i wanna have fun xD and it DID SWELL ABIT, but hahaha as the saying goes, no pain no gain. XD
Lots of mud and sand went into my shoes..D; and now, sitting in the library and creating this post, the sand and mud, are still stuck inside my shoes. XD
Junru even dared to argue with the instructor, and hahahahaa he received a lecture from Mr Narin (is that how it's spelt??) AND the instructor himself. the instructor wanted him OUT OF HIS CLASS...walao junru la.but actually he can swim quite well lol. come on, please, junru, atleast, show some manners, good manners please, and follow instructions. ....don't let them have a bad impression on sota students lah..and u should know how to treat a senior/elder/older person...like what mr narin said. RESPECT IS THE WORD.
walao.


We ended at 2 + pm, and changed and put the things back. haha, Samuel told me that i no need to go back for SIP, as miss Yang had told him. YAYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway i still went back to school XD went with grace to MTR 1, and while walking we saw this anklung performance from....some school i forgot alr ahh has my mind been cleansed by the water or something?! lol. the anklung performance's REALLY NICE AND SYNCHRONIZED!!!!=D u should have seen how the conductor moved his hand. like jelly fish sia~ :D NICE
after that danielle and some others came too. :D
haha. slacked there as mr quek's not having chamber todayy.
haha, then danielle/grace played canon in D on the piano, then we(me trina danielle/grace) used the anklung and created harmonies or accompaniments! ;D so fun sia, my VERY FIRST TIME playing on an anklung...memorable..=D

my eyes are twitching and itchy now. probably due to the water.
feeling really tired now, but glad that we have kayaking course in sota. :D it really widened my horizons, and added to my list of FIRST-TIMES! =DDD ^^
