TUBING in News Braunfels.
Today (tubing) was a day where I REALLY WISHED you were around. First it was the drive to San Antonio. Gillian also sat at the back, which was Spring Break-esque. She even said, "Oh I'm sitting at the back again, time to sleep!" That's so Gill. Heh.
Yup, and tubing! Ok, it is ALOT more fun that it sounds. Sure, renting a rubber tube for $11 just to float down a river is not very appealing. But its fun in a group! There was a 'tube shoot' too! Basically its like a tunnel where the water is faster and its a thin curvy 'rapids' of sorts. It was SO FUN! Too bad there's only 1 such 'tube shoot'. Yeah, I wished you were there. We could have went down the tube shoot together, OR lazed around in formation. The water was cool too! Although there was a fair bit of grass floating around, it was generally OK. Oh, and there was a piece of drama.
Oh, and some girl bared her breasts! Cool. Its not that big of a deal. Its just like what you see in the movies. Heh.
Soe Han fell off his tube. But I was just looking at him and no one did anything. But Jan shouted, "Soe Han doesn't swim!"
Then I thought, "oh fuck! and he's in the water!"
So I dived down and helped him. Yay! So heroic. Haahahaaa. Well, to be fair I Was the closest one to him, and I think I was the only one looking at him wondering why he couldn't put his head above the water. HE tried, and got his forehead out, but thats it. Well, after 2 seconds of "trapping water" I heard and registered Jan's voice, so I "fell off my tube" and helped him. Quite drama. Haaha, but it was really Jan's shouting that alerted me.
Yup, met a fair bit of Malaysians at Paul's place. Met/talked to 3 initially. But only got to talk (like a fair bit) to two new Malaysians. So happens that they're all Malaysian Chinese.
One is Victor. He studied in Imperial. He's 24, now doing his PhD in Physics. Talk about Genius. =) The other is Mei Yan(sp?). She's 19? Born 1988. Lazy to do the math. Studied in AJC, same year as Daphne.
Yup, we ate at Hype Park and Grill. I ordered Chipotle Pepper and Raspberry Glazed Pork Loins. Nothing great. Pork was sucky by chinese standards. Dry and hard.
