okay! It's the last day of gka today.Lots of things happened. parents complained bout everything. the closeness of instructors, the lack of water time, the lack of safety for the kids etc. so for the rest of the days we thought before doing anything. i bet they'd complain if they find a worm in their kid's shoe. No no.. they'd complain when they find sand in their shoes. oh gosh. singaporeans.. sigh. typical.anyway, the instructors are aileen and tiger. im assisting aileen god knows why. i said i wanted to assist tiger okay. andrea assisted tiger. so tiger n i asked for a swap but they all disagreed. argh! so i stuck with aileen and helped her do lots of things, as usual. cant remember what happened in the past few days but the weather was pretty good. had them sail in pairs. on the second and third day, i hopped on to tiger's boat heh heh and left aileen alone. so i got really confused by the last day about who was from which class. on the second day, the kids sailed so terribly and they just couldnt follow simple instructions. almost vomited blood. actually i've got not enough blood already. sigh anyway, had to tow lots of them back to shore and tiger got so angry that he gave them a wonderful debrief. shouted at them so loudly that everyone stopped to stare. parents, uncles, helpers, other kids.. he said things like "when i give u all instructions u all do it fast do it right do it the proper way... dun take ur own sweet time and make me wait!!!""I dont like and i dont want to shout at you all! and if i do, everyone is unhappy. right??" on and on... whoa.. so funny i couldnt buy that look on his face. hahahah he can never get angry!!! that was just so fake only i could tell man haha jasmine too so we turned away and giggled.the thrid day, which was yesterday, it was as if i was fully assisting tiger. was with him the whole time yeah! he can never get an assistant instructor better than me. x) true okay! i just know what he's thinking and he just has to sit there and drive while i handle the rest. towing, tying, untying ropes, giving instructions, looking out, bailing water, packing stuff, getting craps out of our boat, and stuff like that. they sailed in pairs again and did quite well. so many cute kiddos luh! anthony and ernest are twins. mixed german and chinese woweee i want!! joshua has panda eyes sliping downwards. naja's favourite word is "Rena", hui ping loved grabbing me, sheriann cannot stop trying to surprise me by jumping at me from the back but i always notice her before she reaches me i dont know why. x) anyway, andrea and the other helpers were so slow can! im injured so tiger didnt allow me to pull boats so he kept me safe on his powerboat. until he saw that his assistant couldnt make it, then he drove to the jetty and i climbed up that concrete wall [monkey year me] and ran down to the beach to hurry settle the kids. see see he needs me i tell you! then hopped back on and the day went on as usual.today is the last day. most of them sailed alone in the morning and the wind was perfect. weather fine. no dangerous cloud hovering above. current wasnt too strong. then got the kids to go back to shore for lunch. then tiger had me climb up the jetty slipway again to get karen to launch her laser pico for her re-test of her man overboard drill since she failed it the last time and tiger was free to assess her today. she is 19 and cant pull her boat herself had to help her drag that heavy craft along the beach urghh and while trying to put her daggerboard in, waves came and i got frustrated. then she didnt even hold her boat by the bow and i got irritated. then this * kid didnt hold her opti and it crashed into my back OWW dammit thats it. anyway, karen finally succeeded on her 6th attempt OMG. so hungry out there okay. then went back for lunch and she took her theory test. in the afternoon, the wind was so strong the kids had great difficulty even trying to move straight. naja again screamed and screamed her one and only favourite word, "REEEENNNAAAA!!" x 100001. she was so scared and kept saying she couldnt sail and wanted to go back. andrea was on the powerboat too with tiger and me okay duh she's his assistant but i dont care cus she doesnt do anything, if she does, yeah very slowly. so i did most of the work except pulling stuff cus tiger didnt allow me to do it. heh heh. yay. after the strong wind died down, the kids managed to sail up a little but still, quite badly. many cried and capsized. had to help get the water all out and naja's mast even came out of place. so much trouble was so tired.. am so tired. added more bruises let me see.. okay about 6bruises and 1 cut on my left leg and about 4 bruises, 1 measuring about 3.8cm on my right. had to tow back so many of them. got them safely back to shore at 4.15pm and we all rushed to bathe. had the certificate presentation for the kids then took pictures and stuff.after that, tiger and i went to vilage at heeren but changed our minds and went to pasta mania at cine instead. then walked to fort canning park and had a good long talk. hmm then tiger sent me back right up to my doorstep and i gave him a cup of water before he left.
