Today was cable-ski day.
I went to Batam and back to Singapore within a short span of 10 hours. It's not for holiday or vacation but for a super cool activity- cable-ski. I've always wanted to do activities such as wakeboarding, cable-ski, windsurfing, etc but didn't have the chance to do so, either due to the lack of activity partners or due to the price of the activity. So when Jimmy introduced this great lobang to me, I didn't hesitate to say yes.
We started off on the kneeboard a few times to get a feel of the cable and the speed at which we will be travelling at. I'm proud to say that I succeeded at the first time of the kneeboard, while my friends on did it at the 2nd time. But when we proceeded on to the wakeboard. things became a disaster.
I thought it couldn't be that difficult, considering that were lots of girls and even an old lady doing it quite well. When the cable came, I was confident that I could at least stand and ski at least 50metres. In the end, I fell face first into the water within 0.5 seconds. After at least 10 tries, I managed to stand up on the ski for at least 50 metres and that was my best record for the entire day. Jimmy was slightly better than me by maybe 10 metres, while Ming Tai was the only one who managed to ski almost 1 full round. We had the choice to return to Singapore on the 4.30 ferry or 7.30 ferry. We initially chose the 4.30 one because we thought we'll get bored after managing to ski a few times. In the end, we regretted the choice because we haven't even managed to ski 1/4 of a round, but it was too late to change our choice.
I can see myself heading back there in a few months time, either with the same group of friends or maybe some other group. I believe the next time will be much better. Maybe can impress girls when I manage to do a few jumps and simple stunts, probably in a few years time.

I've changed my blog template to this really cool navigation type which may be confusing to people who were following my old blogs. But the fact that you are able to reach this page means that you understand how this works and that your iq is not so low after all.
Everything I type on my blog are my own personal comments purely for memory (or in certain cases, stress relieving) purposes and not targetted on inflicting irreversible mental trauma on whoever's name that is mentioned. I also do not like to discuss things mentioned in the blog outside of my blog. What's in the blog, remains in the blog.
Please tag on the tagboard to give me constructive comments or just to say hi. I love to say hi because greetings are free.
Remember to check out the songs I'm listening to in the music box segment located at the lower orange rectangle.
