Ski 360

Today Jenna and I decided to head out to East Coast Park in Singapore to roller blade along the coast and admire the beautiful view of all the freight ships off the beach (sarcasm). Of course it was super hot and we were as sweaty as can be. After stopping at the Tawandang Brewery for a tasty beverage we continued on and found Ski 360. This place was great. There is a cable going all around the water that has the ski rope hanging from it. So no boat, just lots of sun and salt water.

I've wake boarded a bunch back home so given the heat, I thought I'd give it a go. Jenna wasn't wearing a bathing suit so she had to take a pass this time. To sum it all up, I've found my new past time in Singapore.

Unfortunately Jenna didn't bring her 70-200mm lens so she couldn't get in close and capture all the jumps, rails, places to do tricks but she got enough to capture the moment. If she was really smart, she wouldn't have been taking shots of me, rather she'd have captured the locals doing some crazy jumps and tricks.




If I go enough, I'll get my own equipment...





Ah the city...



You start from sitting on the edge. Next time I'll try starting from the the blue spot. Standing with a jump into the water.



I'll hit that jump next time.



So my form isn't that good... hey, its been a while. I land 2 out of 4. Only thing I didn't like about this place is the long swim back to shore depending on where you eat it.

Dear Long Beach Seafood,

Could you please refrain from having my food stare back at me...Oh and give me the recipe to your crab. Thanks!
love, Jenna

Last night we went for some of Singapore's renowned Chili and Black Pepper Crab. SO yummy!! With the meal we ordered fried rice with salted fish and half way through eating it I was like Oh my god those little black specks are eyeballs!! Jason tried to make me feel better by saying it was strategically placed black pepper but it didn't work. It was incredible...the smallest little fish I have ever seen just peering back at me in my rice.
Speechless... and just had to share!
