SAT
Met tiger in the morning at my bus stop and we went to bk for breakie. went to the bus stop and waited for 161 to woodlands. while waiting i sprang a surprise and gave him his present. wrapped it with layers and layers of newspapers inside and nicely ended it off with a purple wrapping paper. so he had quite a great time trying to remove them. hah it's an aquapac this waterproof thingie u bring out to sea. went through lots of trouble to get it. let's sidetrack a lil.

TUE
Heard that tiger wanted an aquapac long ago but didnt have the time to get it so i asked rozita what exactly it was that he wanted. so i rushed all the way to marina after sch to some store there but it ran out of stock and i got quite irritated. then they told me to go down to homefix which i did only to find that it cost a bomb of 58bucks. got quite pissed cus i rushed. anyway, went home.

WED
Met tiger at outram and headed to vivo. just ate and walked and crapped then he sent me home.

THU
Had maths remedial but as usual that boring teacher almost made me crash to the table. supposed to end at 3.30pm but she seemed like she didnt intend to stop. ng teng had to go off for basketball cip at cedar pri and soleil had to go off for some rehearsal. i wanted to rush off to beach road to get tiger's aquapac so i lied that i had to go off for basketball cip too. great sigh.. i didnt mean to.. anyway we ran out and soleil came along in the end. had no idea where the army market is so we had to ask for directions when we got to lavender. ended up walking in circles and soleil got so terrified of that place and she badly wanted to leave so i said she could just turn back if she wanted to since i didnt consider that place ulu or scary at all. but i guess she'd miss me[heh] so she came along and after MUCH [yes tiger, much] trouble, we finally got to the place, exhausted. gave up looking for it so asked some woman which part of the market was selling that thing. [urghh] said stall 159. gave up looking for the stall so just asked around for this guy called jefferey[however you spell it]. THEN!!! HE SAID IT WAS OUT OF STOCK AND NEVER COMING AGAIN! {DAMNNNN....] really really got very angry and went out. soleil did wanna walk back that ulu place so we walked towards bugis instead. we came by this shop by the road that said sports something so i went in and yeah there is was. BUT also 58bucks. sigh. anyway he pitied me i guess and gave me a discount and i parted those notes, only getting a gold coin in return. quite satisfied, i went home.

FRI
Went home really early today and baked brownies for tiger cus his birthday was just the next day. Was quite tough since it was only my second or third time baking stuff. i rather cook. anyway, took pictures of the process haha like when i threw in the eggs and stuff. after MUCH [yes tiger, much again] effort, it came out quite nice and i cooled them and packed them into boxes, some for my family and some for the next day.

SAT
Okay we're back to sat. was trying to hide the bag i was carrying that contained his brownies and present. guessed he must have seen it but i dont really care. quite exhausted from all these. gave the aquapac to him at the bus stop. it was really fun watching him unwrap the numerous layers haha! then i told him how much i went through to get that thing. then gave him the brownies at the club but didnt know he didnt really enjoyed brownies. anyway, not much trouble for that.

Was supposed to get tiger to teach me to rig a byte then windsurf on water instead of the simulator but only learnt the rigging then went to the office to eat and sleep. yawn.. haha tired luhh.. since our class did well for their test the previous weeks, the instructor who is tiger, wanted to take them to seletar. that means we'll drive our powerboat there and they will sail. what a reward! sail there! when we were almost halfway through, we saw storm approaching from the direction we came from. then we saw orange lightning wow wonderful! i told tiger to turn back cus we were quite far and couldnt even hear the siren sounded on shore asking the sailors to go back. he thought they could make it before the storm hit us and might be able to get them to beach the boats and look for shelter. so he continued and asked them to sail faster. once again, i saw a blue lightning wow! amazing! this time, it was closer to where we were. i told him to turn back again but he thought they could make it so asked them to continue. again, there was more lightning now the boring white ones and really very close. then it started to rain and he finally gave in and said turn back. but the wind suddenly died down. just like the signs of a tsunami, the receding water for about 10mins, the signs of a storm were the sudden stop of the wind for about 2mins? then the wind shifted 180degrees and the storm won us. they had to sail against the wind to get back to shore which was about an hour away and quite impossible in that condition. the rain was so heavy that we couldnt see anything, the most was 3metres. so we lost sight of everybody. terrified. they must have felt real scared. the waves crashed on us and rocked us like nothing. luckily, it was tiger i was with and he knew the roughly which direction to move towards and we saw george floating with his capsized boat. got him to upright it but it capsized again and again. so had no choice, life first, and we pulled him up and tried to tow his boat but the line snapped and his craft disappeared. we struggled and panicked cus tiger only told jonathan that we were going to sembawang park and we didnt have our fones with us. that horrible walkie talkie-liked thingie wasnt even working for goodness sake. was so worried jonathan forgot bout us and sure enough, he did. only until when uncle ismail counted the boats and realised we were still out there and they came in safety boats and helped us search for our students. slowly, with the heavy fierce rain pelting down on us, we managed to pull up 4more. had 13 total. we had no choice but to abandon boats and save lives so ya too bad.. once in awhile the powerboats met and counted strength but we couldnt find xinying. drove to the furthest drifted boat but still to no avail. the students started shouting for their cousin anyway she was found some time later by the other boat and we sent them back to shore first. got many bruises and some cuts while trying to pull them up and tiger got me to do stuff like check the propeller if it was stuck and tying and pulling in ropes. anyway, it was torturous cus we were wearing lenses and with the rain smacking into our faces, it really hurt like ***t. then we set out again this time, looking for the 12 abandoned boats. was shivering like crazy so let tiger do the rest of the work while i sat at the back hugging myself. then uncle ismail threw a raincoat to our boat for me. was quite angry with tiger cus he didnt listen to me. in the first place if we had turned back the first time i asked him to, they could have made it back to shore safely. and now this had to happen and many were injured. george had his shoulder injury made worse and genevieve had a nice long cut on her leg. not sure bout the rest but they were quite un-traumatised. good then! brought back all the boats but still had one missing so tiger made me get onto shore. he didnt tell me he was going to go back out there to look for it and he got me so worried, running everywhere looking for him. only knew it when i asked uncle rosli so i waited and waited. grew tired and scared something could have happened out there. sat at the marina hanging my legs at the edge and soaking them in the water. 5mins, 10mins, still not back. went to bathe. took hell of a long time. still not back.. noo.. he only came back near 7pm i think. then he bathed and we rushed back. told him he was reckless in both his driving and planning. cus he gave me many bruises and totally forgot the students were not that experienced. sigh.. really tired.. was quite irritated cus he was so careless then made me so worried. anyway, he sent me home, both exhausted. oh poor him too had some skin tore off on his right lil finger. anyway, went to wasabi at compass point for dinner with family and went home and slept right after doing some housework. no work done at all.
