I AM A CERTIFIED ONE STAR KAYAKER!!

4th - 5th February 2017

 Singapore Canoe Federation

Hiii, finally I have decided to update about my life. Actually there's too many things to update but I'll keep posting one at a time. At least before I get busy with my exams.

I recently I signed myself up for a two day one star kayaking course along with two other of my cousins. Out of the few organisations that had this certification, we settled with SCF, in which I do not regret and one that I would recommend to everyone else. Equipment wise is a lot better and training is quite thorough even though it is just for one star.

With this certification, we will be able to kayak all over Singapore in a single closed deck kayak and with more access to certain areas. Whereas with no cert, it's a really really small area where you can kayak.

With that being said, on day 1 we already had to do a life-saving drill where in groups of three, there will be a victim, a main rescuer and an assistant rescuer. And yes, the victim has to capsize in which I was very very anxious about. Our teams were picked out by random and i got paired with this whiny lady. wah, i cannot this kind of people.

On day 2, the whiny lady and another person (ahem, guess who) didn't come.  I was teamed up with another team which of course there had to at least be one annoying person right? I was with a rather decent guy and an annoying uncle. The uncle was very demanding which was very ironic since he couldn't do any of the tasks he told me to do right. Though by the end of the day I felt smug when he told me ' wah, you can do it better than me.' Of course la uncle, I may be small but I am stronger than you. Also, a funny memory; when I was the main rescuer for this uncle, I didn't think of asking his name (in which I found unnecessary since he wasn't respecting me), I called him 'Victim' instead which I had so much joy ordering the victim to help me save him.

Needless to say, it was quite a good experience taking up the course in which I would still highly recommend.

Day 1

Day 2

I was very much photo ready to be photographed. Look out for the one in pink, das me.

& I guess by now you can guess who didn't come on the 2nd day lol. But yayy, accomplishment!

Ever since that day, me and syiq had been unstoppable with our kayak exploring.
