Wakeboarding

so many options, yet so difficult to decide.

1. do my cross-stitch
2. read a book
3. sketch
4. surf the net
5. play sims 2
6. sleep
7. tidy my table
8. do my tearsheets (work)

quite stupid, i noeee. it's like on a boring sat nite, these are the stuff i could do, but just ain't doing any cos i couldnt decide which to do. dumb.

anyway, today i went wakeboarding!! wayyyyy fun! :D All in all, 15 turned up for the company activity (the recreation club that i'm in organised it) There's 5 of us in each boat, and the one i'm in has got a cute instructor. *grins* We call ourselves the "Awful Boat", cos we self-labelled ourselves as the "awful people".

It was a great great day. A little rainy at first, but after the passing shower - wooohooo~! the beauteefool sun is out~! There were 2 rounds for each of us, lasting 2.5hrs in all. The 1st round, i was the worst performer! i couldnt stand for a long enuf time, my wakeboard kept flipping the other way whenever i fell cos it was a front fall, thus the instructor had to come rd n flip me over. SOO embarassing can. v unglam. ;p I tried about 5-6 times of failures (lasting 3-4secs each time) before finally being able to stand for about 10secs.

The 2nd round was good, which i wld suppose was becos there was the hang of it in you after e 1st time. "you must learn to use your front leg to balance the board, not just the back leg." "you're putting too much weight onto your back leg" "stand up straighter!" "use your toes to tip the board downwards so that you can manouvre right behind us at the centre of the boat." I think i lasted 2 mins once!! yoohOOO~! happy. :)
