Dragon Boat

Yesterday, we went for a outing at kalang river.It was quite a long journey.(I allmost fel asleep in the bus) When we reached there, it was sooooo hot. We put our bags down and sat down together with other classes. It was SCORCHING hot!!!!(TT-TT)a lot of people keep complaining (including me) whats worse, we were wearing black t-shirts.
After waiting for half an hour, we finally got up and got ourselves a partner each. Then each team by each team got up and line up properly from the shortest to the tallest. Then we got ourselves a life jacket each. when we took the life jacket, it was wet! yucks! we also took a paddle. When it is our turn to go into the boat, it was windy and a bit dark. We go down the stairs we stepped on the wood thingy and it was shaking. I almost fell when i entered the boat cos my shoes are slippery. The river was sooo dirty and I could see some dead fish floating! yeeeeew!!!we started paddling. Ten paddles at first followed by 20 and 50. Although it was a bit tiring, it was very fun. Halfway paddling, I saw a fish head. I was like -.- at first but it was sooo disgusting. Whenwe paddled beside a boat, the pupils inside, (which was 6/7) splashed water at us and I was soaked at my right side.After being splashed at a no. of times, the trainer said to us " when they splash at you, you just relax, sit to your side and splash at them back".(somthing like that cos I can't remember averything.) When we were about to have a mini race, it was already raining quite heavily but we still continued the race. When the race started, my team shouted quite loudly and we slowly overtook other teams. In the end, my team win. I was sooo happy but we were all drenched and soaked to the bone. We ran for shelter to take our bags. I can't find my other bag and in the end Siti found it but all the bags were soaked. I wanted to change but the queue was very long and I decided to go back to school to change. I was freezing, and the bus was also air conditioned of course. Siying was also very cold. When we reached school, we immediately ran to the toilet but it was full so up and up we went and we finally found a place to change in the level 4 toilet. I felt a lot warmer . It was a very good experiance and I enjoyed it a lot. :3
