Bits and pieces of mid-term holidays
posted: 1:22 PM | comments: 0

During the holidays, I caught up with Alyssa together with Woo, Fung Yee, Ming Jun and Wee at IOI Mall. We decided to have a food outing together and I thought it was quite successful. Had green tea doughnut and a cup of frozen yoghurt from J.CO Donuts and Coffee, sushi from Aeon, stole a bit of Woo's takoyaki, cheesy wedges from KFC obviously, Taro milk tea from Dong Cha and soya bean ice-cream from Q Bean.




Also I went for a water sports activity organized by SE at Asian Water Sports VillageWhen Jasmine first mentioned this event to me, she stated that this water sports village is located in Puchong and I was shocked. YES, IN PUCHONG. Little did I know it was located near my housing area eheh. ._.v Eh don't blame me k I am pretty sure most Puchong mates out there do not know the existence of this water park too.

The water park is actually located on a man made beach, so in order to get there we had to take a ride on a speedboat. I think it was my first time sitting on a speedboat, not too sure but the ride itself was awesome! I love it when the wind blows towards my face and it was pretty adventurous I would say because there were not many handles for us to hold on to so.



When we first reached, we were given a life jacket each. The facilitator (who wasn't very friendly) then gave out instructions on what to do and what not. Before he ended his talk, he said that he allowed us to sabotage our friends in the lake as long as the float comes back in a good condition lololol.

The beach was average-looking but the facilities were great! What I meant by facilities are the types of floats and boats not the toilets- let's not get there. There were lots of types of floats to choose from where it will be connected to the speedboat controlled by the facilitator of course at a very VERY fast speed. /.\ The float  goes so quickly that I thought I was going to die that day (okay I am exaggerating but it's true). Out of the three floats I sat, I fell off all three rides. Even the ride which nobody fell off (I believe it's called the Turbo Blast) I literally got thrown into the lake because before it was my turn, Bailey and Christon told me to lift my butt a little higher for it hurts when the waves hit their butts at a really strong speed. I lifted my butt a little too high and thus got thrown into the lake, real hard.



Place to chill out while waiting for our turns to ride hahaha.

Besides trying out motorized water sports, I also tried kayaking for the first time. With zero knowledge of kayaking, I decided to share the same boat with Christon because he was the most experienced one available loool. Kayaking was indeed a very very tiring sport especially when you're sharing a boat with Christon because of his weight hahahaha kidding! We spent too much time kayaking 'till we missed the third ride (Evo Pro 3) which I heard it was the scariest of all four rides. Fyi there were time allocated for each ride, so you have to be quick if you want to try all rides. Felt quite sad but at the same time felt quite relieved also because I was drained out of energy and getting thrown into the lake didn't sound like a good idea.









I have come to a conclusion that water sports are super tiring sports as they require a lot of arm strength which I absolutely do not have. The rides were thrilling and exciting but at the same time so damn tiring because each time you fall off a float, you have to climb up the float which is the tiring part. There was not once I could climb up the float myself (either I was helped by the facilitator or one of my friends) T.T. I need to start working out on my arms man *inserts arm flexing emoticon*.
