Well... the darn alarm clock din quite go off.. cos basically I was up before it.. I just din get much sleep.. kept waking up.. once at 2.. another time at 4.. oh yes.. that was it.. I drank too much water! Tsk TSk.. Well.. today is the day when I get to meet the rest of the instructors.. We got there... to find two other fella there.. one guy called Corey, whom I've met the evening before... he just bought a Laser.. so.. he is a cool guy... in my books.. The other girl who I was introduced to.. is called Lindsey.. we waited arnd for a while.. and two other girls came in.. Christine and Sarah.. sweet looking girls.. both going to be freshman.. one in college.. another one in university.. Lindsey is bumming.. she's gonna be working as a translator for the government down at Washington Dc.. she majored in Spanish.. and they are gonna ask her to study Arabic.. for obvious reasons.. Steve's son, Sam can slightly after.. he din't come with us.. he cycled there.. about 5 miles.. took him 30 mins.. or so.. Anyway.. dats everybody.. a few of them din get down today.. there's Katie.. Eileen... and two other girls.. geez.. Another guy called Joe came down later.. pretty cool guy.. only 16... looks abit like Brad Pitt with that hair and jawline... haha.. least thats what I think.. But of course.. I think y ou guys will beg to differ.. Anyway.. WHO GIVES A SHIT?? *laugh* so we went on with the briefing.. geez.. if you think that Singapore are Kiasu.. Check this out! They have even more instructions on Black and White then we do! And I thought we were bad... geez.. but oh well.. it was nicely explained to us.. to the best of his knowledge and capacity.. not to say that he is quite incapacitated.. but like in Singapore.. instructions were passed down.. and it has to be carried out.. no doubt if it seems dumb or watever.. ya know.. same thing everywhere..
Well.. we cover all those boring stuff.... thru out the whole conversation, we were taking turns taking a dig at each other.. Steve was having fun calling Singapore an island.. I din mind.. but it was funny.. so I played along.. and said.. COUNTRY!! and look really pissed.. haha... That got them off the seats laughing.. and they decided that I was special... cos i was with the Travel team.. and I din have to obey with all the rules.. and dont' get a fixed job to clean up.. so.. yeah! we went thru the first aid kits.. got to throw out some expired stuff.. got shown arnd the place a little... and lunch arrived!!!
Lunch was bbq.. Cook out.. Grill out.. watever u call it.. We had hamburgers.. Hot dogs.. Home Made Chocolate chip cookies.. and Watermelon! and coke! Well.. I had 2 hamburgers.. and 1 hot dog.. 2 chocolate chip cookies.. and 2 watermelon.. Yummy.. *burp*
Dave commented over dinner that I like to eat alot. hahaha.. oh well.. Thats what Singaporeans do best! We drive out in the middle of the night to eat! Luckily I had some other people to concurr..
Anyway.. after lunch.. we rigged up some Xcites.. a JY15.. 2 powerboat.. and we took the boats out for a spin.... I started out on n Xcite.. it was alright.. not very comfy.. wind ranges anything from 2 to 8 knots.. its wild.. all over the place.. I experience my first Wind Sheer.. it matters alot.. We did some capsize drills... Scoop techniques.. Got the end of the extension hitting my eyes.. that wasn't fun.. played arnd abit on the powerboat. I manage to sail rudderless on the Xcite.. that impressed Steve quite abit.. or at least I thought it was cool. haha after that.. we went back.. a little of debrief.. and we went home.. Oh yes.. the place dont' have a place to clean up.. or wash up.. its terrible!!! goodness! I'm sure i'll be able to get over it.. but aikes!
Dinner was left overs.. pretty cool.. I'm living the great american lifestyle now.. and after dinner.. we had BIBLE STUDY!! WOw.. can U imagine that? I can't remember when was the last time I had BIble Study.. It must be during secondary school at Bukit Panjang Presbertarian Church.. wow.. We did Genesis Chapt 37 tonite.. gosh.. my parents would be damn happy to hear that.. Its gonna be a weekly friday night thing mom.. so. yeah.. smile??? Had some cute discussion on the chapter.. Suzan asked for prayers request... we prayed.. and that was it.. I called tory.. Guess I called late... she already found a crew.. sigh.. there goes sailing on a 470.. I wouldn't have mind going back to Dave's boat.. but it wouldn't be so nice to bump Lindsey off just because of that.. so.. we shall see how it goes tomorrow.. Hopefully something good works out. so.. yeah! till tomorrow! I won't be drinking too much water tonite thats for sure.. Cheers!
