kayakin & company run on sat 9:38 PM
hey all...two days didn't post le cos too tired after kayaking..hahah
ok..saturday...
that monday i woke up at 7 for company run at reservoir but there are so little ppl la..altogether less than 20??? but anyway, we completed the 4.3km run. somehow, the run seemed to be tougher. mayb i too tired from the training that was on fri. after the run, i took some photos cos i so bo liao. see got jiu take. lol.
all so tired after the run...hahah...
lol...look at the ppl at the back...so many ppl running...(mayb too small to c bah)
leonard doin sit up!!! lol..(everyone there did it anyway...) XD
after the run, i went home while some of them go to LAN at safra. YAY!!! i DIDN'T go to LAN!!! I said i quit. and i did it. lol. i took a bath and on the com. at abt11, lewis called me and its then when i realise i gonna be late. hahaha. i packed my stuffs quickly and went to bedok interchange to meet them. i was not the latest!! YAY!! hahha. so i go mac to buy two mac chicken for my lunch and one for lewis. after everyone supposed to meet there was there, we got onto bus 196. quite soon, we reach the stop and we walked to big splash. it was not really far from the bus stop. hahha. thought its very far. then we had to walk a underpass to get to the big splash. the underpass quite scary la. if alone in the night, it will be more scary.here is the photo!!
the underpass......to the big splash......
then we first learnt what r the basic parts of the kayak. so in another words, theory lesson. haha. after that, coach alvin talked abt the PFD - personal floating device in long, in another words, life jacket. lol. then we learnt how to ride onto the kayak and how to paddle. after that, coach alvin taught us how to do a capsize drill. basically, u hav to check for depth, look out of dangerous objects, capsize yrself while huggin the kayak, tab 3 times on the kayak and get out and shout for help. lol. no pic cos we are all drenched and hp and bags are kept inside a big container. we practised on our own occassionally got help from instructors. later, we also learnt other types of stroke. at around 3.30, those who had footwear went out to the sea!!! as for those who didn't bring proper footwear, will hav to stay inside the pool. so i stayed inside the pool. in the pool, we had fun. lol. our instructor told us to practise our strokes. of cos we got practise. but capsizing other ppl's kayat is wat u see most of the time. lol. so we play and practise until 6+ and began to wash and put the kayats back to the original place. ohya! by the way, the water in the pool is damn salty!!!! then i somehow got a cut on my foot, so its like putting salt onto it. OUCH!!!! so painful la. after dismissal, we went to the mac at the east coast to hav dinner together. its quite a long walk. here is my dinner!!!
then we headed for the nearest bus stop that has 196 or 197. its another long walk. Zzzzzzzzzzz..... its almost 9.45 when i reach home. so tired. sunburn!!!!
ok...sunday...
i went to bedok interchange at around 11.45, brought and ate my lunch there. we took the same bus, walked the same road, walked the same underpass. we got into the water quick and met 3 new instructors. haha. we learnt a rescue - rafted TX rescue. basically, we did a capsize drill and learnt how to help the perosn to empty the kayat in the water. there r 3 main roles - victim, main and assistance rescuer. so we revolved around the roles. after that, we learnt j-draw and classic draw which allow us to move sideway. then we had a break and those who didn't go to the sea on sat will go to the sea. yup!! YAY!!! but we took double kayak. 2 ppl in a kayak. the instructors briefed us b4 goin out to the sea. and we set off. we paddle around east coast. then luckily there was only one capsize in the sea. there are diff between sea and pool. pool no wave!! so not that easy to capsize. but sea got lots of waves. its quite easy to get onto the boat but gettin out is quite troublesome. the waves keep coming so u gotta be fast b4 the wave capsize yr kayak b4 u get out. overall, kayaking is quite fun la. then after that, we bring back the kayaks back. the kayats r like became heavier than b4 we go out to the sea. so heavy sia. gotta rest from time to time. after washin up, our instructors sumed up wat we did these two days and gave their comments. then they also introduce us playing polo on kayak and showed us some tricks. haha.
one of our instructors aka the big black monster. lolx. XDDDD

ok thats it. too long liao. i shall stop. nitex!!
