Heyyy people! I'm back from my trip to Msia! :D I was supposed to come back today yeah, but came back last night instead. It was really last minute, mhmm.
Kay so, Ima say what I did and what happened there, cause I'm lazy to keep repeating my story. Haha, I know, I'm lazy. (:
Mhmm, so we woke up on Friday at 6.30am plusplus, and drove down to the Fort Road carpark at EastCoast there to meet the others. There we learnt that Charmian, Nigel and Charlene wouldn't be coming, cause Nigel injured his eye when a shuttlecock hit it square on the day before. His sisters must be super mad at him for ruining their vacation luh, but at least it's nothing serious, and he also didn't miss much. Also learnt that Savannah left early for Port Dickson, so it was just two motorbikes and two cars going instead of four cars.
Mhmm, so, we started driving and nothing much happened on the journey there. I brought my octopus, anyway, but I didn't sleep on the ride there. Ended up listening to all the music I loaded on the timedrive. Thanks all. You people saved my life from unnecessary boredom. :D
Made quite a few detours along the way, for lunch and for durians. Throughout the journey, it was like two motorbikes and our car escorting Uncle James's car, which had Josei's boat tied to the top. We didn't bring our own boats, cause we can't load two on top of the car. I honestly wouldn't mind not racing, but you know luh, my mom... -.-
So yeah, reached there and rigged up sail and chose boat. My bro is an annoying brat. I marked which boat I intended to take, and the moment he saw me fix my sights firmly on it, he said: "I want that boat."
Rawr, so I had to give in to him, and settle for another boat which ended up giving me a lot of problems. After all four of us NOSS sailors were done with our stuffs, the adults let us go out to sea ourselves and test out the waters. It wasn't much good, seeing that there was no wind anyway, cause there was a storm approaching...
What's worse is that the daggerboard bungee cord in my boat was damn old and super loose, so my daggerboard (which is made of wood and will tend to float more than the normal fibreglass one) kept poping up and making me drift like mad cause the current was effing strong there.
Back on shore, we went to play in the swimming pool before showering and having dinner. Four of us went back to my family's room to play DS and PSP and watch TV, and duno how come Sav fell asleep in our room after Josei left. ._____. I also fell asleep lols, and I think I did before she finally unstuck her eyes from the DS screen.
Woke up the next morning to find her on the single bed next to mine and my bro squeezed with my mom on her bed. Haha. So all of us went for breakfast that morning, and saw the NSC people there too. Hmm, so they came too... But they paid hell more than us, haha. :D
Not much to say about the first day actually, except that it rainned a bit at first, then they made us launch. But there wasn't any wind, so we came back to shore at 3.30. After which, went to ride banana boat, mhmm, and it was fun.
So on the banana boat there was my bro, Josei, Nicodemus, uhhh, one more NSC guy whom I forgot his name, Sav, me, and Samantha. The guy only managed to shake us off twice, and the 2nd time only me and Nicodemus held onto the boat handles as he dragged us away. Halfway through the dragging, Nicodemus told me his pants were coming off. ==" Gosh, I know he's a national sailor and all, but I so didn't need to know that.
When the ride was over, the NSC didn't thank my mom for paying luhh, and my mom was kinda pissed, yeah. Hard to blame her, it was kinda expensive.
Kay, so went to play in swimming pool again, haha. :D And that day, we borrowed this beach ball from some random people and played abit. That night nothing much happened, but all of us slept earlier than the night before, I'm sure.
Next day there was hardly any wind, and I didn't wana sail, but no, my mom made me. The result? Out of a fleet of 70, 80 plus, I came in 35, 40 and DNC (should be DNF/did not finish cause I didn't cross the finish line) respectively for the 3 races. There's a reason why I didn't wana sail optimist for this regatta, and that's because if the wind screws up, I screw up too, cause I can't move my freaking opti no more. What's more is that the current is effing strong cause it's a spring tide, which means I drift a whole lot. Adding on to my misery is my daggerboard, which ensures that I drift all the more with the current cause it's not properly secured.
The last race was shit. I was 4 boats from the finish line when they said the line was closed. I timed alright, I timed when the first opti crossed the line. 20minutes. But at 12 minutes they closed the line. I really don't know kayy. But the extra 5th mark that we have to round before finishing is really, really, really, extra.
When I reached the shore, I effing sobbed like siao cause I knew I sucked. My mom doesn't care that I finish with all the rookies at the back of the fleet. Hello, I can sail for goodness sake. I rather have my last regatta in Singapore with the memories of the fact that I CAN MOVE MY BOAT than sail in Malaysia and remember having screwed my last time at sailing optimist in a competition.
Mhmm, so yeah. Rest of the day I wasn't in that good a mood mhmm, until after dinner. Now that day, the crown prince came to give out prizes to the winners and we had to wear formal stuff. But obvious we weren't expecting it, so yeah, it was informal for all of us. Everyone came in club tee, including NSC, but all the NOSS people were just dressed really casually, save for Savannah cause she actually knew about it beforehand.
Later, we all went to play at the playground, and gosh, the swing is really creepy cause it doesn't stop moving at a certain angle until half an hour after the last person got off. I kept telling that to Savannah when we were playing see-saw, and when she shut her eyes, I go off and made her play see-saw herself.
Then, we kids didn't wana remain at the clubhouse to drink with the adults right, so we walked back to our room again, cutting through the dark, dark beach. Along the way, Josei kept talking about ghosts and pontianaks and scared the hell out of us, so we ended up running and screaming all the way back.
We were stuck in the hotel room cause we were too scared to go back, and my mom had to come fetch us back there. Me and Josei originally wanted to stay, but the moment they closed the door, the DS died on us, and we ran out screaming for them to wait for us. :X It's really scary kayy, I'm not lying. There are all these weird random banging noises and all...
Kay, on to the last day, yeah? I woke up that morning with a bad throat and my mom didn't really care, as expected. There was a storm that day, and they made us sail the marathon race around Submarine Island. It rainned a total of 3 times on my journey, and the wind screwed itself halfway. There was also a mist, and the rain also blocked my line of vision. I couldn't see a thing okay, and had to bail water like mad. Cause I had a really bad start seeing that I started on the wrong side of the line, it didn't help much to be last 13 of the fleet, mhmm, and I had a lot to make up for in such shifty wind conditions.
When I came back to shore I had a bad muscle ache in my right thigh cause I put a lot of pressure on it while trying to keep my weight inside my boat (to enable it to move faster, mhmm) and I was really cold. But, as usual, my mom just brushed it off again, being more interested in my bro finishing two places behind me.
Quickly went to shower, cause we suddenly changed plans and decided to head back that day instead of the next day, which would be today. Packed everything quite quickly, and left at 3pm.
During the ride, I was having a spliting headache, was feeling both hot and cold at the same time, and kept wanting to sleep. Later, when we ate at Jurong while trying to avoid the evening rush hour traffic, I was completely blur as I stepped out of the car, hardly knowing what was going on. The lights were very bright, and I only remember not finishing my fishball soup. I wasn't hungry, and practically got scolded for not wanting to eat anything.
At least persuaded my mom to buy honey and lemon so I could drink later to soothe my throat, before we headed to my cousins' house.
My aunt and uncle went for holiday overseas, leaving them there with their girlfriends. Now that's the fun bit about having cousins that are exactly one zodiac cycle/12 years older than you. One is born in the year of the Dog, like me, the other, the Rat, like my bro.
The older one his girfriend, Joanne, is nice. Haha, she likes my octopus. :D And she remembers me from all the random family dinners. The younger one keeps changing girlfriends, so I really can't remember. -shrugs-
So yeah, only after Joanne pointed out that I looked tired did my mom realise I had a fever and let me go to bed. But it wasn't easy sleeping with my bro playing PS3 there. D:
Now, I have a bad running nose, a bad sunburn, and have difficultly walking up and down stairs, running, and even walking, to some extent. That was proven in Takashimaya today, when my mom dragged us shopping.
For my sunburn, I wanted to get a nice red glow cause I get that a lot when sailing in SG, but apparently, I overdid it this time, and my face is peeling now. D:
As for my horrible throat, I coughed out phlegm just now, and there was some blood in it. Gosh, I'm scared now. .____.
Anyway, so that basically was my trip to malaysia, and I didn't have that good a time there, truth to be told.
