I went sailing with some of my relatives, Euyang and Shilee today. Uncle Pete came to pick us up at 8am this morning. We went to Sentosa, where the sailboat was. Let me list all those who went. -Uncle Pete-Renee Jiejie-Uncle Lawrence-Aunty Rachel-Amanda Jiejie-Shilee-Tim-Weilee-Euyang-Ryan-SashaWhen we first got up, Sash and i went to explore the sailboat. There were 3 beds altogether. 2 individuals ones, and the other was a big one. There was a small kitchen, and an even smaller toilet. We were all basking in the sun as the boat moved. The sun was so comfortable! We put our legs out of the sailboat, constantly waiting for the waves to splash us. We got so excited once that happened. Well, everyone is a child at heart! The waves were kinda strong, hence the boat was bumpy. Poor Amanda jiejie..because she was seasicked. Therefore she slept...in the sun. We were still waiting for the waves. Hahhaha... We were so fascinated by everything on the boat! Later we saw oil on the water surface. Everyone (except Tim) felt very disgusted, especially me. Oil spills are damned. Hours later, we found a suitable place to rest and swim. The sailboat stopped quite a distance away from the island. Ryan got down the boat first. He canoed. Followed by Shilee. I asked Tim to go first and i'll follow behind. However, he couldnt get accustomed to the icy water, and didnt wanna swim yet. As the both of us didnt wanna swim by ourselves, i decided to wait for him. Meanwhile, Shilee continued swimming and was so far ahead! We started swimming. At first it was quite easy to swim. However, as we swam further, the waves got stronger and we were swimming against the current. We kicked and kicked but was moving very slowly. So Tim suggested to let the current bring us to the shore. (We had our lifejackets on) Amanda jiejie swam half way through and was too tired, thus got onto the motorboat together with the other adults and Sasha. On the way to the shore, the seawater got into our mouths and damn! How salty was that! After what seemed like eternity, Tim and i finally reached the shore. Phew! By then, they were already lunching. HAhhaa.Had some fried beehoon and then tried canoeing. That was my first attempt and i was not afraid but also not confident. I managed to turn to whichever directions i wanted and also, to brake. Credits go to Uncle Lawrence and Ryan for guiding and assisting me.Later we buried Amanda jiejie. Cupped breasts for her. That was definitely not my idea! *Chuckles* After that it was my turn to be buried, followed by Shilee, and then Sasha. Gosh, the sand there was so soft and fine! What is East Coast beach as compared to this beach? After playing for quite a long time, we went back to the boat. Swam back. This time, though, Ryan swam while Euyang canoed and Shilee didnt swim. While swimming (to and fro), we got biten by some fishes. Hm no, not sure if those were fishes or baby jellyfishes. I hope it wasnt the latter! It was more of a sting, didnt hurt much. Now i'm so tanned! And i'm so lovin' it. Currently dont have all the pics with me now. Will post them when i've received the pics. So keep coming back to this post! ;)*Feeling a li'l giddy now. A little little seasicked earlier on.*
