OMFG. Im sunburnt. Badly.
Well, this week was the national youth open championship from tuesdae till saturdae. I couldnt participate cos tues ive got bball training, thurs ive got ballet exam and todae i had theory exam. So its kinda wasted to pay 60 plus bucks for 3 days of racing. In the end, they didnt race for the first 3 days cos it kept raining and there wasnt any wind. Actually, the third day had wind, but also had cat 1(its a storm for all you ppl who dun understand) so they raised AP over A(that means races postponed till further notice and further signals ashore) for the benefit of noobies.
Then fridae i had nth to do, so Uncle george asked mi to go look for uncle james, and guess what? He coincidentally needed people to help out on alpha course(that's the byte and laser course)! I asked him last week but he said that they had enuf ppl edi. Lucky some people called in sick lors :D
I had 2 choices: go on uncle george's motorboat or go on alpha com boat. Of cos i chose the com boat. I mean, how often do you get to go on the com boat? :D Wished i could have gone on the bravo course com boat(that's the optimist one, and the class of boat i sail), but oh well...
There were 2 old ppl on the boat, plus 3 helpers, me, keith and shernelle. I learnt alot while i was on the boat.
Lesson #1: Its very comfortable to fall asleep on the hull of the com boat...
especially when they're racing and there's no wind, it can get pretty boring. Im the one recording the boats and keith's the one raising the flags, so we were sitting on the hull. We both felt kinda sleepy after awhile cos there wasnt any wind, so we both fell asleep....
Lesson #2: Dun leave your jacket unattended... especially if the wind measures 20 knots...
unless you have someone like keith to help catch it :D Thanks a bunch man.
Lesson #3: Watch out for fishermen...
"Kelvin, can you go check out mark 3? There's a fisherman there loading it onto his boat. We cant see what he's doing, he might be cutting the line... faster, the laser coming already..." LOL. well, after he handled the mark, he dropped it so far away from the other one and the gate became like, 500m apart.... nvm if you dun understand... ask mi to explain...
"Race control, race control, this is alpha com. There is a fisherman dropping his nets right in the middle of our start line, over."
Lesson #4: Dun drink so much water....
especially since in com boat, you cant jump overboard and well.... So you have to hold until you get bac to shore. An example would be keith...
Lesson #5: No matter how fast they rush you out, put sunblock...
Or end up like mi, badly sunburnt.
Lesson #6: Dun tell your frenx they you're gona be on the com boat...
"OMG, Isaac look! Nicole's on the com boat! Nicole's on the com boat!"
"What the...."
"What are you doing here?"
etc.

Hmm, that's about it. :D I got learn other things luhh, that can benefit mi when i go to byte.
Not bad sehh, i get paid $10 for slacking out at sea and getting sunburnt. I reli wna go learn to drive motorboat so in 4 years time, i can earn $30! :D
So todae, every1 ask mi why i nvr go on com boat. I wanted to. Its reli fun. Mayb nxt time i get to do bravo course. Or get to raise the group flags. I wont know.
After today's racing, we went to SB again and played cards and had dinner. Cant believe amos wanted to protest jury and used mi bro as witness.... and in order to do dat, teacher have to sign the form, and since ms koh not around... guess who is the teacher's assistant?
Me lors... -.-
His mom asked ms koh for mi number..... sheesh... might as well give to all the taonan parents if they need help or what..... practically all of them have it edi anws...

Ballet exam on thursdae was okayy. I made quite a few mistakes at the barre and got the wrong hand for mi pirrouette. She skipped a couple of exercises including "tone lies" and we were like damm happi sehh...
Mi character dance was the last dance of mi group so i was reli nervous can? I messed up and mi clicks couldnt come out....
Theory exam was quite okay... forgot some terms but overall can pass bah...

Hmm, that's my holidae lor... homework havent do yet... must go chiong edi...
Im going kaleo with sunburn tmr. Ern, you can see a red lobster. Your turn to chase mi around with a fork :P
