April NO Fool.
I kid you not, I nearly drawn this morning when I did dinghy sailing this morning!!! *tears*
Today is me and Kian first lesson doing dinghy sailing. For those of you in Perth, you all already know the weather aint that good, as the bad weather is affected by the cyclone. Go sailing? I was thinking: Nevermind.
The lesson started with Sal, who is our couch, explaning to us how to set up the sail, what to do if the sail turns upside down..couple of house keeping stuffs.
According to the manager, the strength of wind is perfectly nice for learning. (Yeah right!! Anyone can say anything on 1st of April 講騙話,不用本錢的). Jk.
When we started sailing, due to the choppy wave, windy weather plus unclear instructions given by Sal, out sail capsized!!! Yes, imagine your rice bowl is placed upside down. I was a bit panic. I am not a good swimmer. All I can do is frog style. I try to be calm and don’t cry–take a breath, step by step. Meantime, I was worrying about Kian as well.. I am afraid I am his burden. I nearly call it a quit.
Anyway, we did all we could–follow the wind direction, went up to the top part of the sail, partially un-capsize the sail, throw the rope from the front to the back, and fully un-capsize the sail, went up to the boat, sail back to the shore. Phew! What a teamwork! What a couple!! ^_^ *perasan*
I used to remember my mum’s upset face when I was 5. I told her I wanted to quit playing piano, she got sooooo pissed off. She said I 半途而廢, 三分鐘熱度,不能持之以恆, 沒有用 (give up easily) bla bla bla…. On the hand, dad thought it is OK if I don’t like it, no point forcing me to do what I don’t like. (This is why I don’t want to give up, ’cause I am not that type of person mum used to describe!!!)
In fact, I love piano, I just disliked my piano teacher. Gosh! I am so regret I gave up piano for her. If I kept doing it, I can play piano by then, I know the notes…. So, all the while, instead of memorising all the strange notes in choir (back in high school and college time), I can just read them while I was singing!! Also, I don’t need to wait for my friend(s) to play a song for me… I’ve been waiting for bloooody ages for someone to play “Tong Hua” for me. =(
I love you Daddy, Mummy, Ko, Shuoh, Ing..; I love you Kian; I love you Jo, Rob, Fion, Faadzel (even you haven’t play ‘Tong Hua’ for me); I still love you even you were b*tching about me in your blog, I wanted to call, but I don’t know how to start the conversation; I love you, everyone in my life; I love you, yes YOU!!! who are reading my blog, you guys are absolutely something for me… I love you my friends who been thru with me; I love you my frienemies..your sarcasm make me stronger and turn my feeling of dislike into sense of humor.. =) I love you.. those whom I never met before, those I am with and those I am going to meet…
I love you all.
Amitaba.
you don’t love me…
Do u love me?
*perasan*
but, just in case u don’t love me, I have to hide somewhere loh
I nearly get drawn twice in one of the river in Sarawak during my secondary school time leh (Lower Six time). Really *cold sweat* when I recall back.
whats perasan?
Wow should have got someone to take some pictures when doing the training.
Would suck is if “shit really happend” and you name is April instead of Cynthia…can you imagine what’s the reaction if backhome get the 耗運傳來, instead of 舉家震驚,均感悲痛, they all “這小妮子, 又來這一套了.”
大吉利是, 大吉利是 glad that you are okay, the Cooknengr Culinary Institute’s 唯一徒兒, 吉人天相, 大難不死, 必有後福.
nutz’: I do lah!! =) when you finish exam, we go swimming ay?
chen: I do, I do =) when you recall back the experience, it is damn scary.

Hai yah Cynthia, I hope the water not too cold. Next time be more careful mah…
I have the same experience like you before, drowning and quiting something. I nearly drown when I was a kid because someone pushed me into the deep end of the pool and someone nice save me. The nice person is my childhood sweet heart and I quit my language class because I hate the teacher. He was so male chauvinist pig….
it’s good to do something new…great post cynthia! dingy, huh…
going sea kayaking mid april after i pass my competency test a.k.a. whether i can get back into the kayak if i fall off it in the choppy seas.
would be good to get a waterproof disposable cam so that you can take photos during your sailing lessons.
