Yesterday was seriously a bad day for me. I prayed and hoped and prayed and hoped ... But, things did not go the way I wanted it to. I still capsized. -__"
I had canoeing training at Macritchie, and was asked to go on a T1 canoe. Apparently, that canoe is said to be super stable and no one would capsize when in it. At first, I thought so too. Later did I realise that I shouldn't have looked down on that canoe.
The moment I was in the canoe, I felt super duper uber unstable and I dare not paddle. In the end, I manage to muster some courage and paddled my first few strokes. I did it lightly as not to shake the canoe that hard. I managed to stay stagnant in the water for 10 minutes or so, without paddling. When I started to paddle again, I
(SHIT MAN) capsized. And my canoe was filled with loads and loads of water and it sank in the water VERTICALLY.
(I am so sorry, Joseph. Thank you too!) Joseph and I had to seek help from many other canoes of other schools to help us. I did not capsize once, not twice, but five times! In the end, Yao Jie had towed me back to shore.
(Thanks, Yao Jie.)When I was at shore, then I realised that my paddle was too long for me and my knees were too high while in the canoe. It was hell I tell you when you capsized. Mr Ang was like, "Every year there is definitely a clown who would capsize the canoe vertically. This year it is her." WAHHH LAUUU EHHHH!
But it was an experience man.
