Kayaking (1st Day)

Woke up at 6.30am. Shower, wore my 2E1 class tee, ate 2 slices of pizza, brought my bag & I'm off to school. Very little people going kayaking came early. Outside ncc admin room was crowded ard 7am plus. Admin room was opened, so I went inside, changed my shirt to Nike long-sleeved dry-fit t-shirt. Then, went inside bus, and off we go to Kallang. Reached there after 20 mins or so. Got lost. While waiting for further instructions, we put on our sunblock. I applied my '130-spf-sunblock' on my face, neck, legs & hands. Applied a bit only. Then, we walked to the kayaking training facility. Was divided into groups of 10 or 9. My group had 10 people, 2 of them from 3 topaz. Those from 3 opal were me, meng tuck, melvin, john, wei hao, jasper, chin guan and mark. All guys...haha! Only got 1 girl in our group, she's from 3 topaz. We were given a brief description on how to wear the lifevest, 'steer' the kayak and carry the kayak properly. Then, wore those lifevest and carried the kayaks to the kayak trolley. Pushed them to the shore where we were going to kayak. Over there, we checked our lifevest by getting ourselves in the water and checked if the lifevest actually is higher than our ears. Then, we were tested on swimming at a distance of 25m. Then, we started to kayak. Kayak towards the bridge there. Learned new ways of kayaking. Then, kayak back to the shore and did capsize drill. Then, lunch-ed! Food was very plain. Then, continue kayaking towards the other side of the shore. Did capsize drill again. Learned more things on how to move the kayak sideways. After that, we kayak back to shore, carry the kayaks back to the kayaking facility, washed them, then, bathe. Drank carbonated drinks. Later, we compared our skin whether we got sunburn or not. My super-sunblock lotion totally worked. My skin was exactly the same as before kayaking. And, I did not have fibreglass 'stuck' on my skin. Others have, like Chin Guan. Had a great time there, fun and interesting, but very very tiring. No energy liao...well, I'm looking forward to tomorrow!
