Dear All,
Here is a broad schedule of some plans which we can all embark on before school starts. Please Reply to me ASAP on who’s going for what, preferably by the middle of this week. (Thursday latest)
In CHRONOLOGICAL sequence:
April (6th, 7th, 8th): 3D/2N Fishing Trip in Open Waters (botaks only)
For this, I’ll be posting the photos once I receive them from my Sister’s father-in-law. (Technically my father-in-law as well) Cost I’ll confirm with him as well. It is the kind of trip whereby after you pay, you are the king, and the boatman will do all the hard work for you, (e.g. Preparing baits, equipments) All you need to do is just sleep until we reach the fishing grounds, then can go swimming, laze around, and catch sea monsters! The fishes are really quite big, and I think it will be very fun. However, I’ll also need to check the number of people I can bring, as my uncle is also going with his friends. So revert to me early about this.
May (11th to 15th): 3D/2N Open Waters Kayak in Perak (call your friends too)
Organised by People’s Association (PA) Sea Sports Club, it will be a real Sea expedition, where we leave on the 11th at 2130hrs by bus to Perak, and then start our expedition probably by dawn the next day. For those who had gone to OBS, this should be familiar to you guys. We will have to camp/pitch tents and cook, and experience the sea and the night sky where there is no light pollution. Promises to be fun and we can ask anyone who is interested to come join us. We will also experience using sea faring kayaks (I think), like the scimitar or the penguins, something you probably may not have a chance to try in normal circumstances. (Things like having a foot controlled rudder, thin hull, storage compartments etc.) It’s all very cool, but here comes the bad part.
$360 (includes bus rides, insurance, kayak, camping equipments etc.)
Minimally must have 2 Star Kayak Proficiency Cert.
So if you guys don’t mind the $360 (which is very cheap already), I have planned how you can obtain your 2 Stars before May.
March (5th, 12th): 1Star Kayaking Proficiency
March (17th, 18th, 19th): 2 Star Kayaking Proficiency
The 5 sessions will all be at Changi SSC. I will personally be going down on the 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th for my 3 Star lessons, so we can all go together for lessons! 10am till 5pm each session. Membership costs $40 for I think 2 years, 1 star is $35, and 2 star is $50. Though you guys might think that it is a lot of money, but the proficiency cert is valid for lifetime, and if you guys wanna go university to showoff to chicks, then it is worthwhile investment.
All else said, our trainings to obtain the proficiency certificates will culminate in our finale 3D/2N Sea Expedition in May. At least we have something to work towards from now till then.
June (unknown): ORD TRIP
Road trip yet to be confirmed, we still have some time to work towards it, and we really must travel. Will wait for Shaun and the others to ORD.
Let me Know ASAP ok… Thanks
