Friday
Class ended at 8pm on friday so I had to quickly rush out of campus after dismissal to get a cab to MYSG for dinner. Apparently, Chisato was back in Singapore for 4 days so unc Paul decided to throw her a dinner. It was so good to see her!! The last time I talked to her was like........6 years ago?? She has a son now with her Indonesian husband and apparently, she is not allowed to speak Japanese to him coz her mother-in-law wouldn't let her. What a tyrant. So basically those at the dinner are as usual Nat, Mel, Tiff, Unc Paul and me.......Chisato and her son Liew (I think its spelt that way) as well as Tomoko and Lica. We had such a pleasant time together :D

Saturday
Went for lunch with unc Paul, Nat, Mel and Tiff at River Valley. Got some junky tit bits at nearby 7-11 after that before dropping Mel off at Kim somethin road coz she was givin this 19 year old girl PAID tuition on English Literature.....which was why she couldn't join us for wakeboardin :( How sad. Anyway after all that, we got lost........how nice. But we still made it to the club on time. Our skipper and boat were already waitin for us so we wasted no time in changin and jumpin on board before driving out to sea. Wakeboardin was terrific. We did it for 3 hours only this time though but we still learnt a lot. I finally could board smoothly on heelside and toeside without hesitating or falling and even learnt how to jump!! Unfortunately, my camera like went crazy after a while so the only possible shot that I could get out of this outing is of me (coz I was the first person to wakeboard). Had dinner after that at this amazing German restaurant called Werner's Oven. Their cheese sausage with sauerkraut and mash was so good and their kale was so substantial while their weissbier was simply refreshing. Yes I know I love food a lot.........but thats juz me ;)
Sunday
Did the usual in the morn. Breakfast with me family and visitin my grandma and grandaunt. Went to the sailin club a lil earlier in the afternoon after that coz unc Kok Hwa was crewin for Scott on that day as there was an ambassador's cup catamaran race. The stupid club was idiotically packed that day coz of the event so I had to rent a locker to put my stuff inside. How pinching. Anyway, me n my dad took out a Laser and Laser Pico respectively to sail since the wind was good and bcoz we wanted to see if we could catch a glimpse of the catamaran race out at sea. My dad went out all the way to Pulau Ubin while I sailed along the shipping channel between Loyang and Changi beach. The wind was good at first but it got really erratic after that, so it was almost impossible for me to return to shore coz everytime I was nearin it, the wind would change and blow me away. I was sooooo pissed. Oh. Plus when I returned to shore, I cut myself on Katana's wires and ended up christening this brand new catamaran with my blood.........how nice. Thankfully, unc Kok Hwa came in second in the race. The winner was James. This really pro and olympic standard sailor. But second was good enough for all of us, especially since its unc Kok Hwa's first time crewing on a catamaran. He wants me to be his helmsman in the future. I can hardly wait :D
the club after the race........I think loads of sailors were congregating at the main building coz there was free booze there . Of course I wouldn't let such a golden chance fly by me so I got myself a margarita before leaving
