dRagon boating$BlogItemTitle$>
so long nv blog already...hmm...shall write a very long blog 2dae...hehee
i woke up super duper early on 2dae.....even earlier than sch days..
woke up at 5.40 am to go aj interhouse dragon boating. I meet up with jiaying n peishan to catch the train to go kallang. wHen we reached lavender mrt station, there are already many groups of ajcians. Then after that, we walked from the mrt station to kallang river. It is like aj excursion....lolx. sHortly after we reached the place, we were briefed by the sava people-an organisation tt promotes dragon-boating. They told us that b4 we can go dragon-boating, we muz first carry the boat to the shore and so we went to the place that kept the dragon-boat. goSh...the boat was really quite heavy But amazingly, with 20 ppl strength, we managed to carry the 250 kg boat....haha. Soon, we set off in the boat to the sea for orientation so as to help us familarise with how to dragon-boat b4 the race. Initially when we dragon-boat there is not much co-ordination and i keep da dao wo de shou....but ltr it got better. tHe sava person even told us tt we are quite pro at it for the first time...haha. It was really cool when the person said paddle up and we replied up and there is the echo from it....so shuang!.....
At around 11, we went back to the shore to rest a while b4 the race. By then, my hands were already aching and i had drank a lot of seawater. Soon , we started the race. But, first we muz row to the starting point. wHile we were rowing to the starting point, PANTHER capsized their dragon boat....haha...they are so pro to manage to capsize the boat. So, we have to wait for a while for them to revert their boat so to as to reach the starting point. wHen finally every hse was at the starting point, the person told us tt we only can have 1 race instead of 3 due to bad weather....aiya....so disappointing....gt less to play. but nvm, in the end we, the cougar hse managed to clinch a 2nd place while puma clinched the lst place and panther is the 3rd place.
Overall, it was a really very fun experience and i nv regretted joining it. If next time our school have this activity again, i will sure go play again. We got a some sort of glow in the dark dragon for clinching the 2nd place....It is really quite nice.
Here is some of the pictures of it..
the glow in the dark dragon
After we received that dragon, my friends and I were abt to leave the place when it started raining....argh...such a bad timing...so we ended up walking in the rain to the way back to kallang station. Walking in the rain was so cold and i think i going to fall sick soon. We were so lang bei and were totally wet when we reached the mrt station. So, we decided to go to the toilet to dry ourselves. Then after that, jiaying and i decided to go some nice restaurant to eat to wei lao ourselves. We took super duper long to decide the place to eat and finally we settled at the yck grassroots de restaurant to eat. If i'm not wrong, the place is called naked fish...hehee. We ordered a student meal for abt 7.50. hmm actually it is quite cheap cuz tt meal consists of a soup, garlic bread, the main course, drink and dessert. I ordered a fish and chips and it taste yummy. next time can go there after sch to eat..hehee
Here is the photos of the food i ate:


That is the end of it....my body is now aching...think mon go to sch sure die 1...hahaa
