Getting Darker Day by Day
I just returned from Zara's event. I just dont feel like blogging at the moment as I'm still suffering from some giddiness after being out at sea for more than 6 hours. I wonder how did the sailors wont get seasick so easily...
Well, just a few things about today. There were only 4 of us, Huai Xin, Zara, Siew Boon and me. We were supposed to help in the last 3 races that were held today but it turned out to be a bad day. Its been pouring for the entire morning and the race was held back. Luckily I did listen to Auntie Emily's advice to wear my jacket or else, my giddiness would be worsen by now. Thanks!! =] Well, the weather was bad as it was raining for 10 minutes, sunny for another 10 minutes, then it rains again... This regular pattern goes on for 6 times??!! Yeah... 6 times... The race was called off for the morning as the wind was blowing from all directions, which causes all sailors to have a hard time to move their yachts.
Afternoon came and we started the 1st race of the day, also ended as the last race of the day. It was sunny but guess what, thanks to the rain, the waves were getting rough and by then, my head was getting heavy. Eyes were closing and the water was splashing all over, like the boat would sink at any moment (The person in-charge did said that the boat did sank once... Thats why...) I was seating at the edge of the boat, dozing and I nearly slipped when the wave hit the boat. ZZzz... If I fall forward, I will hit the anchor right in front of me. If I land backwards, I would be the water ghost for tonight's party... LOL!! Kidding... =X
Well, once the event ends, straight away is home sweet home. I dont feel like doing anything but to sleep. I was doing my report in the bus but I got abit bored and started to play FM. I ended up clicking on the tablet screen with my eyes closed. No wonder my game could not continue. I keep missing the spot, to click the word 'Continue' to proceed... @_@
Alright, thats for today's event. Now its gonna be a short description of Syenergy, the race I took part yesterday. Well, 8 checkpoints but the first 2 was a killer. Soduku was the first game and I failed in that. I dont ever play that game before. Well, the second one was to run all the way from NYP to Seletar Reservoir and back to NYP again, after cannoing the reservoir. Gosh!! That's gonna kill my legs...
The one I enjoyed was the archery, which I had not played for a long time. The worst was NAVIGATION!!! Using the stupid compass to find directions is hard but I guess, the compass is not helping at all. Yeah!! I will learn to use it when I'm in Army but guess what, I think everyone should look at the map first before you use the compass. What are maps for??!! -.-"
Kenny and I didnt win anything but its good to work with him. Its also a good thing to see Shuai Xun and Ping Ding got 14th position for the race. Shuai Xun was the winner, if there is one, especially when he end the race, with a bandage on his left knee. He injuried himself I guess but it should be due to the overstress of the leg, thats why...
Once everything was over, I head down to White Sands to visit Auntie Emily, just to accompany her back home as I dont feel like going back early. Yeah... should be... I dont know. Haha... Well, we reached Yishun and had a walk around Northpoint before she heads home while I head to Causeway Point to meet Mum. Well, Auntie Emily, thanks for the Chocolate Chips ice cream badge... Hmmm... I wonder... How come you have one in your bag, suddenly pop out from nowhere.. Hehe... Kidding la.. =]
Well, I went to play soccer during the night. I managed to score 1 goal and assist another. The strike I made and let the ball into the goal is really great. I feel so happy, for no reason. I guess I have not been playing soccer thats why. Haha... Well, though I cant describe the feeling here, all I know was that once I score, I was back to my energetic self again. The sensation one has... is undescribable.
Well, think thats all for now. Time to sleep le... Haha... Hope Auntie Emily's granny will get well soon. Get well soon!! Auntie Emily's Grandma!! =]
