one STAR

1 star. 1 * ! (:

okay to keep things short.

banana boats are actually called DAQ boats! (: our instructor's called JC and he's really nice. first day was spent mainly on technical stuff like j-draw and classical-draw. and i've finally learnt to cap without panicking :D haha jc told us he's not athletic! get this straight, he:

-runs 2.4 km in 12 min with full combat gear on
-has kayaked for many years, on sea expeditions no less
-is gonna get licensed for driving motor boats
-is going parachuting!

but no, he's NOT athletic at all. (:

we traded canoeing/kayaking stories over lunch. ugh apparently there's crocodiles at seletar reservoir and freshwater stingrays at upper pierce D: thats makes monkeys and monitor lizards sound like child's play ):

second day!
we practised (even more) capping and RESCUING! did mine with juan and twin, haha juan was having a mega fun time sloth-gripping my boat! freaking cute. oh and i think i prefer rescuing in Ts/Ks a whole lot more, the banana daq boat way is so much tougher ): we played lotsa games!

1) CANOE POLO. violent sia! haha we were being really spastically mean to xiaonanren. she capsized alr and we still threw the ball at her! teammates = JC + gao + pucca !

2) everyone capsize! yeelin got hypothermia, sharon and jiahui got one-arm-handicap (i think) and i got both-arms-handicap. how cool is that :D 3) the acid-water-scramble-over-raft-thingy! hoho we stood up and did a team photo! everyone was practically doing splits in the boats >.< PAINFUL

4) surfboard thingy. sharon's invention. cap the boat, fill it half full with water, climb on the end and surf! (:

5) capping other ppl! teehee i feel quite bad cos i cheated my teammates X: hahaha call for help then climb on their boats and cap them when they're near. jiahui+yeelin+sharonnn.

6) hitchhike! climb on the back of others' boats and paddle around. okay sharon tipped me off on purpose. so we're fair and square now.

i love one starrr :D
