YaY! mary's grp (bitokawa) was the 1st one to lead. walked here and there. hehe. couldnt find the way out. had to be led out in the end. climbed here and there. tired. after that went kayaking. but i felt queasy in my stomach. drank too much water during the walk. so felt nauseous. but i love kayaking. how cld i not go? ended up with fen ni in the kayak. we were one of the last to paddle out. but became the 1st!! hehe. were paddling on some sharp rocks. and saw a rainbow!! yaY! then the inst said further out we cld see dolphins. but we didnt. aWww. and glynnis was scared of dolphins! haha. we played changing partners and i changed with ziying. so was with cherina. paddled back....kayaking was good. we had a race back to shore. sharon capsized! hEhE
