Wakeboarding @ Punggol Marina

$75 for an hour of wakeboarding. Is it worth it? Absolutely i tell you.

Well today i spent 5 hours out on sea riding the waves on a small speed boat. Not all the 5 hours of course, but together with melvin, alex, yuanda and chong jin. Today's actually only my 2nd time going, as compared to melvin's 1st time and the rest, many many times. I finally mastered the technique of standing and moving around on the wakeboard, and even gliding! At the high speed turns when you are moving so fast with the wind howling at your ears, the feeling is just so incredible! Actually the hardest part of wakeboarding is only the initial stage, when you're learning how to stand up. I'd say i'm an mediocre learner, but a fast learner in gliding. The whole time, i was gliding on the starboard side, cutting back in and, leaning out, picking up speed and gliding right again. It's a fun sport alright, but terribly expensive. So we told ourselves, only once a month.

After the sun burn and the riding of waves and the falling into the water, we headed to town for lunch. Attended mass with mel at Cathedral, and went Bugis to walk after that.

I'm dead beat!
