wa.. today is the day for I&E event and i witness something unbelievable.. we are organising a kayaking expedition from kallang to east coast.. it sounds like a short trip to canoeist but it definitely sounds like a "long" trip to those participant.. today i saw bernard capsize not long after we launch.. then suddenly i hear him shout..i turn back immediately and saw his mouth expression scolding F**K.. hhahaha.. so funny la.. i cannot believe it.. (bernard don kill me hor.. i post it up in my blog).. hehe.. today reach SDBA around 0745.. then saw kel.. he help me carry out those boats and check the condition.. load those checkeD boat onto the trolley.. count and count.. the number of boats just nice.. so heng...
then peter and dennis went to pick up those participant.. suddenly, dennis call me tt got 2 xtra ppl popped out.. omg.. boat number just nice.. now i lag of 1 boat.. headache.. then i bo bian.. went to ask cher for help.. initially i tot must pay him the rental fee.. but he say don need.. i felt so happy.. can save money.. lol.. i borrowed a s2 from cher and the problem was solved.. thanx cher.. u rawks!!
peter gave the briefing as i settle all those boat stuff.. once everything is settled, eathen, jeremy and collin bring the participants to the launching point.. everyone launch their boat and wait for us under the merdeka bridge.. when everyone were out in sea, eathan taught them basic strokes and how to navigate.. briefing finish, we begin our expedition.. at first, i tot it was good.. but i see the way they paddle.. OMG.. don need to go east coast liao.. normally for marathon training, we took around 30 min to complete one triangle(4Km).. the participant gave me a huge surprise.. they took 30 min to paddle from pontun to sheares bridge.. tt is like taking 30 minutes for 1km.. omg... lex is the expedition and i can see that he is falling asleep as the speed is very slow.. keep stopping to wait for ppl to catch up... went out from kallang basin.. it starts to get tropy.. mr chong capsized after awhile.. one of his sunglasses lens drop into the sea.. overall he donated his car keys, one black lens to the sea.. lol.
we carry on rowing.. at the construction there.. the wave is very high.. very powerful as alot of boats go thru and fro.. mr chong was unable to go as the stability is not there due to certain reason.. =X
pitched up at gay beach.. saw the participant.. u splash me with water. i splash u with water.. lol.. gay beach has nothing anyway.. after break, we row back to kallang basin for lunch.. then took photo.. and we kayak back to the launching point.. load the kayaks up the trolley and row back to SDBA for washing.. after tt, peter lead the participant to bath and the event ended.. glad to hear from teacher he is satisfied.. thanx mr chong.. went home and slp afterwards.. so tired..
(P.S thanx to all fellow sprinters who helped out today.. i really appreciate it.. =D)
Never give up...
