Kayaking One Star

While the morning sun was up and shining, I was over at Kallang Sea Sports Club for my One Star Kayaking. I've waited long enough. It had been a great day. Got them blood pumping. And that little bit of sunshine exposure seems to make my hair all nice and swishy.

Lucky it was single kayak. All on my own and stuff, really fantastic. But the whole kayak was so freakin' light, hence being very sensitive to the smallest strokes. So most of the time, I was just trying to get the front of the craft to point to the direction of travel. But generally, I had fun!

The heavens had been pretty merciful on us. Only occasional short periods of drizzle. But still, I'd have preferred a little more sunshine. It's not like everyday that I get out into the bright sunshine.

The capsize drill had been really bad. I had to intentionally capsize twice cos I didn't capsize correctly(!!!) the first time. All that water were rushing freely into my nostrils. We changed the venue of the capsize drill cos at the beach we were originally at, the water was freakin' filthy. Not to forget that there was a bloated cat carcass drifting alongside us. Of course there was the smell!

I think I should do this very frequently. I think I've a greater affinity with the sea. But it seems that I'll always become really sleepy after the whole activity ends. Think that's what water does to you. And it's not helping that my whole body's aching. Don't ask me how, my whole body just aches, just except for my arms. Strange eh?

Something tells me that tomorrow's gonna be a day when the sun'll shine on with fervour, and those wretched dark clouds will be banished to some place far far away. Which means I'll be roasted, perhaps burnt out too. But I'm cool with that. I know it's very damaging to the skin, but a little damage at times won't do much harm, will it?

I always find it a wee bit embarrassing to pile on sunblock in front of people. I'll usually secretly do it, or do it way beforehand, which by the time I get exposed to the sun, the protection wears off. I think sunscreen should come in a liquid form in a spray can. Kinda like those mozzie and insect repellant. The orange colour one? I'm sure you'll know lah, so common here.

Tomorrow's another session. WooHoo!~
