Dragon Boat


Today, for our ibmc week, we had dragon boat.
oh my, its fun!!!
at first I'm excited, but later on the instructor was sooooo fierce,
then he very nice to us again.

then we had lots of fun. :D

The dragon boat occurred at Changi.
although the seawater was salty, but it was fun.
I sat alone cos I don wanna sit at the first one.
so I called Alvin to sit with Nachiyar and I sat alone.
anyway, it was fun sitting behind. because the instructor pour buckets of water at me & the others. Haha. However, I was the first one to be hit by the seawater. 
ahhh....
lol!

anyway, now I came to realize why the instructor is so fierce.
Reasons:
1. to get us disciplined because if accident happened, the consequence suffer is going to be heavy for all of us.
2. want us to do all the everything fast so that later on we can enjoy when we are on the boat.
"sorry, I didn't mean to scold behind your back, because at that time you scold me and zx I very very angry. sorry and pai sei. Anyway, thanks for the fun!"

On the boat, there are commands such as [hold water] which means to hold the shaft face of the paddler in the water to stop the boat.
and commands such as [paddlers up and down] which is the hold your paddle up and put it in the boat.
and commands like [backswash]--> ehh... if I remember clearly.
it is the paddle backwards, its tougher than paddling forward.

we all sat at the side of the boat and try rocking side to side and the boat was like, nearly toppling over to the other side.

at the end, our instructor have to scope out the water.
poor guy.
and we all, 4A & 4B helped to carry the dragon boat up shore.

It was fun and exciting.
too bad we missed out one part. :(
but overall I give them a 101 marks!
=]
I nearly lost my Mr. Diao.
sorry SBGK.


Me, with the funny spects.


The end of my IBMC week.
