GENA IS LOVE

wakeboarding special;

i was having second thoughts just on the day we were suppose to wakeboard. but i went, in the end. couldn't "pangseh" my friends what. meifen came last min, just to sit free boat ride LOL. so the 6 of us ( gen, hafiz, sx, stan & me ) met at punggol interchange. it's so bloody hard to get a cab from there & when we had a cab, there was only ONE. how can 6 of us squeeze into one cab??? gen, sx & stan took the cab first, and told to uncle to come back for us. hopefully he does right? yea, in the end he came back for us! if not we needn't wakeboard already as the place was so bloody deep in & not accessible, with no public transport! times like this, where i wish i had passed my stupid advance theory!! so, the place we went was marina cove AT PUNGGOL, i think. met our instructor, a nice friendly tan guy. we went to our boat and off we went into the open sea near seletar area.






i swear i thought i was going to fall off the boat when the boat was moving at high speed as i was sitting at the back of the boat and it was slanted!



that boat passed by some old boats, duno what they're called.



without delay, instructor chose gen to go first as he has high hopes in her! and he was spot on! gen was great in the sea. we were all looking at how she did it, so we could learn!



2nd was sx, she too was great and managed to get up.



3rd was stan, he having a ego too big for himself, can't accept failure! he laughed at everyone when they fell, so it's time for us to laugh at him! haha. but he was great too!




4th was hafiz, he had difficulty getting up, mayb cos of his size lol! and he was struggling too much. but he managed to get up on the 2nd try! GOOD JOB!



last was me, wakeboarding looks much easier den practice. it requires the proper technique in order for us to get up effortlessly. i tot i would totally flop but i got up on my 3rd try. it's really very demoralising when you can't get up. and when u do, the feeling of satisfaction is just nice. esp when you stood up alr. you could feel the air blowing at u and u surfing the waves! but when the waves are too strong, oops, you fall, just like what happened to me. and you start to drink lots of salty sea water. and it gets into your nose too, ouch!










each of us did 2 tries, and of course the 2nd was better than the first. but it's really very tiring. after my turn. all i could do is sit in the front of the boat and rest. the boat went back to punggol and i headed home with meifen first cos i had to club with the girls!
