back to today...

alright,
today i pwned school whole day.

cos' i had to go for canoeing contact time since i had MC last time
so...i went with sec 1s,
class 106.
morning, before assembly, waited in the canteen.
then got on the bus.

listened music on new phone on the bus,
discovered that one part of Through The Fire And Flames is really ownage...

and then reached the adventure centre, near changi airport(or so i think..)
one discovery kinda stunned me,
WE WERE FREAKING AT THE OPEN SEA!!

wtf?
holy crap.
open sea??
yikes
and then we went for briefing, and this guy from 106 called Joel
talked to me a bit and we ended up being partners
(not coincidental though...)
so...then but on Personal Floatation Devices
just one problem with the personal floatation devices,
its not personal!!
okay don't mind me just being random.

ahem.
so we dragged(ahem i mean CARRIED)
the kayaks(apparently it's a kayaking course not a canoeing course)
oh forgot to mention.
while we were having briefing...
A STORM WAS FREAKING GOING ON!!
insane man....
and i was like: we're going out in THAT!?
it cleared up though...
so off we went...
however, since my buddy Joel is a sailor(sailing CCA)
he had to help get ppl in the kayaks, and wait for mr teo to dispatch...
this, obviously, meant I also had to help with it and so we were last to dispatch.
first we had to report to mr tahil far away at the yellow buoy.
then, go three times anti-clockwise around a big triangle marked by three buoys.
well, alright, fair enough.

i overestimated the current.
the way mr nathan was going on about the current it was like we had to use every last ounce of strength to battle against it..
turns out it didn't affect us that much...
still,it WAS a bit affecting us...
oh, and on our first round,
joel wanted to wash the kayak,
so, against my pleas...
did an unofficial capsize drill...
freak....

anyway finished our rounds(i think faster than anyone else)
then went to mr tahil, who told us three rounds back clockwise direction...
again, finished it. done(this would seem very fast to you, reading it, but you bet it was hell'a lot longer in the water)
yea...we two seemed to be able to work together very well, got a kind of system whereby he'd give timings some of the time to keep in sync...
so we finished the total of SIX rounds the fastest.

back to mr tahil.
i thought that was the last exercise we would need to do before capsize drill(the ACTUAL thing)
but we still had to do 360(degree) turns around each buoy and then get back to the start buoy...
sianz...
so that was done.
then went back to mr tahil(we were the first to complete everything, despite being the last to dispatch)
he told us to stay inside the triangle and PRACTICE...
wth like i'd want to do MORE work...
but we did practice e-brake...

then came raft up time.
rafted, but then the guy let go of the buoy he was supposed to hang onto....
so we drifted off and had to paddle back again...
this time I held to buoy....
this made us the last to go for capsize drill test...

actually we were quite fast..
other pairs were taking like 5- 7 minutes.
i think we took like 2.
no joke.
(it's not MEANT to be a joke anyway....if it's wrong)

actually i enjoyed it!
not like i'm the kind of super-adventurous hyper-active kinda guy who loves the outdoors...
but it was fun paddling around, working together with your partner... heading for the next destination.
not to mention it'd be useful for ACE camp...

alright, so i made a new friend, and i'm surprised i kinda "clicked" with the sec 1s,
you know...communication...

yah...okay.

then we sat for an MCQ test on kayaking
(which i'd already taken before during one of the P.E. lessons)
o.O
lol and it was like exactly the same test...

after that we just waited for the bus...
(it was only 2+, more than an hour earlier than it said it would finish in the consent form)
yah...okay
that's all that happened during the "canoeing" contact time.

yay some one else VOTED ON THE POLL!!
and this person VOTED NO!!
hoorah!!
c'mon ppl more ppl vote.
just cause you got 1500+ more days to vote dosen't mean you can take your time!!
(okay that DOES mean you can take your time, but pls Don't??)

alrighty, for real this time.
i'm out yo'

Payce out,
