aha! i found you!

cable skiing

i went to the cable ski park at east coast on wed-hari raya with ivan and joseph! poor josh couldnt make it coz he was sick ): first time, but we did well! there was a beginner's recommended course that starts with kneeboarding followed by skiing and finally wakeboarding, but we skipped it all and went straight for the coolest-wakeboarding (which might not have been such a great idea coz we couldnt really do it hahah)
IT WAS SO FUN. even though we didnt even get past the 1st ramp. we lost our balance after just 2-3 secs everytime hahahah. its pretty tough! joseph and i managed to get the furthest, and i managed to do the most stylish one!! :D heehee. imma gonna be the next tony hawk. yeah right. i need to be able to make it beyond the first ramp hahah. well anyway, mine was the most stylish, as ivan said, because i put my board perpendicular to the direction the cable was pulling me, and you can imagine the coolness of the plumes of water made by that eh? eh?
they said that everytime i fell, it took some time for me to let go of the cable so i would always be dragged a distance (i FLEW half the time, they said) and there was once, by board got stuck at the start and i was yanked by the cable and landed about 7 plus metres away. lol. oh, and coz i kept getting dragged along on the water, my shorts almost came off! :D harhar
there was this auntie in a bikini who was awfully pro. her wakeboard was just a flat piece with nothing to strap your feet to! like, nothing! flat surface! but she could do it beautifully anyway!
now i'm aching in muscles i never knew i had! there's one along my right ulna, and my armpits (harhar) and the back of my left knee!
DAMAGES: student price of $37 for 1 hour on a public hol, and i've got a bruise/scrape (its a scruise! or a brape! i think scruise sounds better) on my shin from where my board hit/scraped me. aye battle scar. pity its healing so fast.
wakeboarding is SO FUN. anyone wanna go with me?? :D we might just be splashing around most of the time though hahah
