Today, we went kayaking. Actually I wasn’t sure if today was the real training or own time own target kind. The message sounded like it was real training. Anyway, I misunderstood the message. Didn’t think that the 1 meant 1pm, I thought it was a typo, haas silly me. So went for kayaking instead of dragonboating. Anyway, the alumni boat didn’t haf space for anymore left rowers.

Kayaking was torturous, as I had feared. Haas, even since sec 3 obs kayaking experience, I had always been apprehensive about kayaking. During that obs experience, me and my partner could not kayak straight and we were struggling to keep up with the rest of the pack. It was quite frustrating, afterall we were from ncc leh, how come cannot even kayak faster than some of the non-sport people. But its not my partner’s fault coz after that we change partner, and me and my new partner still cannot kayak straight but my old partner could now kayak straight. It was truly miserable experience coz it was a round pulau ubin kayaking experience and we couldn’t stop. Back then, I thought it was something wrong with that particular kayak but now, having todae’s experience, I think the problem is in me. haas, cannot be every kayak I’m in got problem. But that’s not the real reason why I fear kayaking. Its something else which I shouldn’t say.

Anyway, kayaking was real tiring, partly coz we couldn’t kayak straight. Weishan and gekling are so pro, they seem to be able to kayak straight with ease. I wonder how they manage to do it. But anyway, I am not going to kayak anymore, I’d rather row dragonboat.

After kayaking, I went to suntec to attend a wine-tasting session and I won a 1.5 ltr of stoney vineyard, domain A wine! 2nd time I won a bottle of wine. The 1st time was when I was in lower sec or upper pri, and I managed to fix some puzzle at an overseas wine bar and the owner of the wine bar gave me a bottle of wine for free! I think I gave that bottle to my mum, either for her birthdae, mother’s day or Christmas, many years ago.
