Monday
----------
went to my grandma's house... went there, sit down, stone for a while then start to gamble... gamble all the way until dinner time... won about $4... haha... after dinner, the whole family just sat around and started talking.. talk talk talk until 11++ i think.. after that, we went home.. i have to say tt it was more fun the day before which was chu yi cause there were 2 baby cousins for me to entertain...
Tuesday
-----------
my family stayed at home cause my brother and i hadn't finished our homework yet... so we stayed home for the whole day... and tt's about it... haha!
Wednesday
-------------
school finally reopens... the day passed by as per usual... had physical training on tt day.. it was kinda tiring but fun... at the start i mean.. first, we did our stretching.. after that, we went outside the school.. we had to do a relay race! ahh!! and it wasn't 100m relay.. it was one whole round around the school relay race.. it was very tiring and my legs started to ache a lot... but after a while, it was ok.. (: there were like 7 teams.. and i had to be in joshua kwok's team.. lol.. after the relay, we had to run one more round around the school.. after that, we went back in.. we split ourselves into 2 groups... girls and boys.. the girls went to the gym first while the boys did push ups and stuff like that.. it was kinda fun man.. haha.. after using the gym, we went to the classroom block.. we had to do the same things the boys did.. meaning we had to do push ups, crunches, the cockroach thingie, wall sit, plank... there was even a specialty for the day... but it was damn hard... one person had to do plank while another person did push ups with the person doing plank below... it was kinda hard.. but fun.. haha... after doing all this, mrs sidhu talked to us about the YOG thingie for sailing.. after that, we homed...
Thursday
-----------
when we reached there, we rigged up the boat and stuff like that... didier doesn't even know how to tighten his kicker so i had to help him do it.. and i kept on saying that it was magic cause i didn't want to teach him.. lame right? i know.. haha.. and then all of a sudden we started calling each other names and stuff like that... haha... we were also complaining about each other when we were in pri sch... doesn't make sense but.. yeah.. oh yea, coach told us that she wanted to teach us our theory but she saw that we had our boats rigged up already so she just asked us to lauch out... sad case... i didnt want to sail sia... the wind was real strong for all of us to handle... i was scared like anything... i kept on sailing away from the course coach had set... and my rudder kept on getting stuck to my main sheet!!! the worst thing that could happen to didier, hui ming and me were... didier and hui ming's mast came out casue they didn't have the pin to lock it in place.. for me, it was that the boat kinda capsized on me twice... my sail was in the direction of the wind, making my pico upright by itself and capsizing straight away with me on the other side of the boat.. and this happened twice.. i was real dehydrated.. somemore coach was bringing other ppl back to shore.. so i was all alone out at sea.. luckily marilyn and another guy coach was nearby... the guy coach helped me to upright my boat cause i think he saw the boat "capsizing" on me... when i got back into the boat, my coach came along... and i was able to heave a sigh of relief... coach towed me somewhere near to shore and asked me to sail back... cause it was kinda impossible for me to go back out to sea... after that, we brought back all the picos and optimists back onto shore... we washed everything, did the sail and stuff like that... and after doing that, we started to "play" with water... i wouldn't really consider myself playing with water cause all i wanted to do was drink the water.. haha.. i even had to wash didier's gloves just so he could help me return my lifejacket... i asked didier to catch his gloves but he didn't so in the end, it got dirty again... haha.. then forgot why, but he also threw my gloves onto the floor... when he was pushing his pico back to the "parking lot", i went to take his gloves and threw it onto the floor again... haha...serves him right... and while hui ming was pushing bac his boat, i saw kimberly and oo swe sitting on it... and since i was bored, i went to sit inside too... but after a while oo swe got off... surprisingly, hui ming could still push us.. haha.. we were like "faster faster" and he really went faster.. so fun... after tt we had debrief then chiong to the showers...
i think i'll just stop here...
