Wahooo I had an awesome time at West Coast Park today. There was a sports fiesta and it was open to the public for free. I went to try out many different types of sports which are kinda unknown or unpopular here in Singapore.
Trikke Carving
Suitable for all age. Quite easy to play as well, just have to sway from left to right to start the scooter moving. My Mum was playing this also lol :D
Jumping Jacks
To my surprise there was this jumping jacks booth!!I remember posting about this on my blog 2 or 3 years ago that I was interested to buy it. Due to the cost I had better dropped the idea x.x
Queued up for at least an hour despite the short queue. There were like only 3 or 4 instructors at the booth and one instructor has to attend to each participant until the latter feels comfortable and steady. It was my turn and off I go. I had to rely on the instructor for support from the moment I stood up from my seat and walked to the open space. Then he told me some tips on how to stand properly and made me do marching on the spot for 10 sets to see whether I could be stable enough to play on myself later. So...I managed it and then off he went to attend another participant.
I tried walking around, speed up a little bit and jumped (almost fell). Uh well not trying to act pro but since this is a rare opportunity for me, I might as well do whatever I want to maximise my experience. I saw the good players jumping don't know how many feet high! In the end I just walked around in the open space and test my confidence to run (failed .__. its not easy)
Overall, it was really a fun and enjoying experience! :D
Laser Clay
WOAH I was addicted to this and played 3 rounds of games. If I could I would play more as there was no limits to the number of trials. We have 2 shots per clay and we have to hit the clay while its in the air before it lands. On my very first round of game...waha I kept missing, so did the people challenging against me. Either we forgot to reload, or aim until the clay drops and still haven't shoot, or anyhow shoot. LMAO :D Until quite many clays later then I managed to hit for the first time. WA so happy you know. Then slowly later I know how to aim properly already. Got 6 points out of 15 clays -.-
On my 2nd round after lunch, I managed to hit 2 shots in one clay! Damm happy can! Everyone was like woahhh and looked at me. Initially there was another guy leading with his point, then last few clays he kept missing and I caught up with him. I got the highest score for that round, 12, an improvement :D
After that I went to queue up for Archery, the distance between the archer and the target board so near -_- NP Open House one was much further.
Went back to Laser Clay booth and had my 3rd try. This time round, a lot of people were watching behind the participants. I hit 2 shots in one clay again, and subsequently hitting at least 1 shot per clay. Because everyone kept missing, it then made me looked outstanding, no no not flattening myself, I can feel that everyone was looking at me :o the uncle standing beside me even congratulated me. I felt so delighted. The round finished with me getting 20 points. Some guy even came to ask if I were from air rifle in a joking manner, like so exaggerated O.O HAHA sorry for all the buay ba stuffs you must be feeling sick and yucky now but all these made my day :D
Wa damm wish I could spend my whole afternoon playing this but then it was so blazing hot at one time then gloomy weather at another point of time.
Bossaball!
I came across this sports when I was viewing sports spoof videos on youtube last year. It is a very popular sports in Brazil and Kuwait. I immediately like this as I think it was really cool and interesting! A sports combined of skills from Volleyball, Gymnasium and Soccer. Seeing this booth at West Coast Park today was like another dream came true! The public can get to try this as well. SADLY, I was not brave enough to try out -_-!! I would much probably end up looking like a kid jumping around the bouncy inflatable. So I just stand from afar and looked at the Bossaball players playing. Really regretted not trying it.
There was a ZOVB booth

Wanted to give it a try, but I only see parents + children or young kids playing, no one from my age group played that -.- oh well to save my embarrassment again, I better not try it. If its on water one I would sure go and play without thinking much!
There were many other sports booth as well...but I only play those that I have never tried before.
A day spent in the West Coast Park brings back some memories of my trips there when I was in primary school. Neopets Carnival, family outing, neighbours outing, awesome! :D
This is my most well-spent Sunday of the year :D
