New Year!

Hi.

It's already 2012. On new year's day, my friend and I went to learn how to use the 'Playboat'. What is playboat? Its doing some stunts in a small boat, using a same-feathered paddle. It's so cool! We learnt how to double pump, do a clean spin bow stall and stern stall. Doing a clean spin makes you look possessed. Imagine sitting on a boat and rocking your body either clockwise or anti-clockwise to turn the boat. It looks funny. But when we accomplished it, it feels gooood. I think girls need to turn more rounds to complete a turn. Haha.

Double pump makes you look like a mermaid trying to get away from a net. I dont know why, but to me, it looks like it. Haha. It's so tiring to do that. Bow-stall can be done only after 3 years of training as mentioned by the coach. I want to practice bow stall! As for stern stall....haha. That's my favourite move because I can almost get it thanks to canoe polo. Its like the advance stern dip. So its simpler to do! I strongly recommend people playing canoe polo to learn playboat. Its so fun and cool! Can do flips on the boat and all. Im sure they can learn much faster.

At the start of the playboat, we were required to do a roll to get us familiar with the boat. And guess who ejected out of the boat? Haha. Me! Haiz. Tried paddle roll and cant come out after trying 3 times. But its ok man.

On the second day of new year, the SIM junior girls went to play their first competition. Not bad siol! Considering that they only played for a few months.

And, just now, I went to work at JBAC. The engine's cooling water was not working and after anchoring the boat, I saw a lizard staring at me. Lucky no man overboard. Whatever la.

And, this weekend, The Water Kutus are supposed to play in the opens category in NTU. But now, I dont know if its going to happen or not. I really hope we can play together. But whatever happens, all I can do is let it be. Lesson learnt.
