Sorry for the late blog entry guys, was busy with assignments & tests!!

Anyway, that morning, Michelle, Kai Xian, Huey Shyan and I decided to be nice human being and be punctual for the event. We reached the pier at about 9.30am, only to be told by the person-in-charge that he was suprised to see us there so early!!!! Apparently the meeting time was Malaysian Timing(it means the real meeting time is at least half an hour or an hour later)!

After waiting for n-hours, we started off with a short briefing where we were taught about how to paddle and the safety measures. There were four boats, one society each which consists of about 12-14 strong men and women. We were given a 30minutes training and synchonizing our movements before the official run. By the time we finished the training, my hands were already tired!

During the official race, all that I can remember is someone counting the numbers and me getting wet on one side of my body!! Dragon boating is not as easy as it seems okayy, I recalled when the person in front increased the speed on the counting, we were paddling like machines, at one point I seriously can’t even feel my hands and I even felt like throwing the paddle away! Anyhow our hardwork did pay off cause as far as I am concern, it looks to me that we’ve won. Although others might have some say about it, but to me, We’ve won, I don’t care =P.

After the race, it was time for PIZZAAS. There were too much pizzas for too few of us that quite a few of us had one box each and we couldn’t even finish it by ourselves. Shortly after the meal, everyone started packing up and left.

It was a great experience to actually participate in a Dragon boat race, especially during such a cooling weather(the water is sibeh cold). For all those who missed it, be sure to join us again next year!
