the thing abt capsizing..

had a pretty exciting ride on mon. where i drove wt frm campus to orchard rd, mt E. our dear friend was hospitalised but thankfully it turned didnt turn out serious.

aft tt it was a road trip frm mt E to pandan reservoir for sculling. it was such an embarassing day.

for 1..i capsized at the pontoon. well as u noe, i've got a short upper body. short reach that is. while reaching to lock the screw gate, i capsized. at the pontoon.

rite like seriously huh? was 'rescued' by wt. who pulled me up. whilst in the water, the 1st few moments, i felt so helpless. its like momentarily, i forgot how to swim. subsequently, i somehow recalled how to swim.

we rowed out quite far, past the 500m race course. it was pretty windy and the water condition were not the usual. as we were abt to turn abt and head back, wt capsized. just like tt, in the open water. not the least nearest to any land. she was capsized in the middle of nowhere. aft like 5 min trying to get back up, she realised it was a futile attempt. we were taught what to do for capsize drill, but tt was near the pontoon and we merely towed our boat and climbed back up to safety.

decided to row back to get help frm razemin. knew the one way to help wld b for him to come with the safety boat. with all the adrenlanin, somehow i juz up all the way back. yah n the scary thing abt capsizing, is tt u start to wonder. 'what if..'

and so i rowed faster. with the thought tt remained affirmed in my head. 'i cannot capsize!'

so everything was back to normal, she rowed back aft being rescued by razemin. aft tt we carried the boats back and headed for home.
