This is how my left leg looks like now. I didn't let it fully recover before going back again and soooooo, it waaaaas my bad.
I'm putting ice on it right now. These are just some of the uglier and more painful bruises, my right leg is all bruised up too but it doesn't look as bad as this one.
It was worth the pain! When you go to WaveHouse and see this....
How can you resist?
Check out the videos I took of my guy friends who are also pretty new to it:
I am officially a WaveHo. After trying out the FlowBarrel at Wavehouse last night for 2 hours, I realized that surfing is definitely a sport that I want to get into. Didn't have a chance to take any photos or videos because I left my camera at home but I'll make sure I do the next time. Might need to invest on a waterproof/underwater camera soon! I just want to go to Bali or Hawaii and do the real surfing right now! I know it's almost completely different but I'm sure it's the same kinda rush...
Anyway, look at what I woke up to:
Some major bruising from all the wipeouts on the Barrel. No pain, no gain!
I have some bruises on my back and butt too! I hate bruises and scars but funny thing is, I'd do it again.
Had a great weekend with the beautiful sun. Another gloomy Monday today...
My friends and I went to Sentosa on Sunday to play some American football and check out the new hot spot in Sentosa called Wavehouse. I have to tell you, after trying out the FlowRider, I was so addicted, I went back again just yesterday. This time, I wanted to try out the FlowBarell. I was super stoked and all but when I met some friends there who have actually tried it out and got hurt REAL bad, I was as nervous as a 40 year old virgin.
By real bad I mean they got some major bruises on their limbs. Which is expected, isn't it? There's always a risk to injury in every sport. Just remember one most important rule: Don't be a hero. Take what you handle.
I was game to take on what I had to handle on the Barrel. If I really sucked, I guess could always go back to the FlowRider (which I really didn't want to)...
Unfortunately, the weather wasn't too kind and it rained from 3-6pm. (Maybe it was a sign I wasn't ready?)
Luckily I could save my ticket for another day... and I'm planning to go back there this weekend.
OF course, I couldn't let my day go to waste because of bad weather - I tried out the Luge (at Sentosa) for the second time and it's something I'd like to call a cheap thrill. Sure, it was fun but not THAT exciting. Not as exciting as playing Tap Tap Revenge 3 on my iPhone.

Here are some photos from last Sunday at Wavehouse:
Gotta know how to leaaaaaan, that's the trick.
So awesome.
When you step into Wavehouse, you'll feel this instantaneous energy that will definitely put you in the right mood. Personally I like the place because the food is magnificent, the place is clean, you can shop for bikinis at Billabong, hang out for some drinks, tan, take a dip in the pool, AND most ultimately, they play kick-ass music. Just my kinda thing.
