Being Outdoors

We had the annual retreat just last weekend. And the usual thing that starts my annual retreat with the same group of people from the temple, is that, I am half expecting to hear a dedicated ring tone on my mobile, be it a message or a phone call. From that one person, the dedicated ring tone was Daniel Powter's Bad Day.

Silly me. That phone is gone now. That person is gone now.

And I have thought about him often. Maybe it was bad that I do not delete any emails coz Gmail has so much storage. Sometimes when I do a search on my emails, I find his. Sometimes long, sometimes short. Sometimes corny, mostly not.

But life has been such. And I have never been brought up as a social person or an outdoor person. But this weekend trip, made it so much more interesting.

We went white water rafting. It was in small doses. We did a 6 km raft. It was brilliant! I had so much fun. For the water confidence bit, we did two exercise that included floating with the current and the next (*so exciting*) was capsize drill. Wow! I had so much fun!

I didn't take many pictures. But that experience was good for me. My sissy and I had fun. Though our boat didn't capsize or that none of us fell into the rapids. But we had a good 6 km raft and took on the mother rapid :)

It was a tiring weekend. I slept. Finally...
