kayaking+cycling=fun-filled saturday!

hahaha... went kayaking (PE elective) at National Sailing Centre located at the ulu-ulu part of East Coast Park, so took a taxi there in the morning with SY & HX. It was an all girl kayaking group, the guys just didnt turn up~ haha it was fun! As my group had an odd number OAC's claud joined me in the 2 person kayak.. heehee. it was such a last min kinda thing for her that she forgot she wasnt wearing a PFD (if i arent wrong, sth that looks like a lifejacket, though we were told it was not) Claud's very nice taught me the right techinques along the way, haha that's why i didnt end up like the other girls -capsizing & crashing up the shore and getting stuck there. But we didnt manage to practice the capsize drill as there the sea was infested with jellyfish. Ooh. this is the 1st time that i see jellyfish in the sea & not in places like the Underwater World~ they were white in colour, probably the size of a palm or maybe bigger. I saw up to 5 of them at the same time! They looked cute but cant imagine myself capsizing at that spot. Ouch! heard from OAC people that jellyfish stings are really painful.

After kayaking i joined 4 girls who wanted to go cycling & get tanned in the afternoon. And yes, almost all of us got a tan~ as i'm easily sunburnt, i'm the darkest red lobster... haha *glancing at my two-toned arms & legs now* It'd been a longtime ever since i last cycled at east coast park -cycled for 2hrs in the afternoon neh! cycled to & fro and cycled past NSC where we kayaked earlier on. Cycling's a whole lot faster than walking -it took us dunno how long to walk from NSC to 36 busstop to get out of the ulu place earlier on. FuN!to get to know new friends & exercise at the same time! JH was saying she hadnt exercised so much within a day for the past year.. haha i felt so revitalised & fit!
heheh~ should continue exercising to lose weight -sth that i promised myself b4 promos.

wanna go kayaking again! haha
