First accomplishment since Uni Life started

Passed 1 star kayaking!
although nothing to brag about, but at least i went for it. lucky i have sharon along, if not neither of us would have sign up. haha..

2 days of kayak, not bad, nice feeling on sea.
learned some new things. despite all the kayaking i've been thru.
instructors were all very nice.

nice events planned out. i.e. picnic on open sea, mass capsize.
i quite liked the mass capsize. that's when everyone needs help and everyone's helping. was in a single, so quickly got up and went to help. kayaks can be freaking heavy when it's filled with water.

spent the day with tantem (doubles) initially. then switched and sticked with dancer (single). another type of single is called salem, or something spelt that way. salem is easier to control, tried it yesterday, but harder to turn. dancer, seriously dances around, highly sensitive to currents and strokes. i usually can't keep it straight, even harder when i tried to go any faster. but had a good time with it, easy to turn, mobile.

i realised i haven't been doing much recreation stuffz since i got into uni. this is the only concrete evidence i got so far. miserable, but looking forward to more. maybe 2 star next when i have the time? haha... sailing seemed fun too.

maybe just badminton, haven't gone back to the court for some time now.
