Sentosa and getting sunburnt!!

Was supposed to meet the Longan Gang for an outing at Sentosa at 10am... but i woke up at 10am instead! Apparently i had set the alarm clock at 830am but i merely switched it off and went back to bed until 10!!! I was so damned shocked that i had overslept so much and woken up at the time that i was supposed to meet them! Honestly, i think i have not done this before. Yes, i have been late but not this late! Jumped out of bed and quickled messaged Gaz and Ah Zai to tell them....

Got to Harbourfront's Macs at 11.20am but realised that the rest had gone down to the train station to wait for me there instead. And i had conveniently walked past their group thinking that they were a bunch of noisy JC students. Everyone had a nice filling Macs breakfast except for me so i kept telling Ah Zai that i was so hungry. He was as irritated as i was hungry.

Decided on Palawan Beach because there was a convenient 7-11 store there which meant that we could buy our calorie laden snacks and drinks there. Lol. Gaz bought a cheap mat for $3.50 and a shocking pink colour frisbee while i got my fishball and curry puff breakfast there. I was kinda clueless on how to play frisbee so i just watched Pig and bf first before attempting it. Pig couldnt stop laughing at my "glam" frisbee throwing pose but it dived right into the sand. So much for being glam huh.

Observing Pig and bf with the frisbee..

Ah Zai and Mr Sarcastic trying to pose like New Urban Male models...

Candid shot but i thought they looked quite cute! Heehee!

Happy Gaz!

We then decided to play Captain's ball for a while (yes, in the scorching hot sun) but i think we are getting old already, because after barely 10mins of running around, we will have a time-out and rest and snack for the next half and hour. Terrible. What happened to our good old fit bodies???! (Ok la, I'm not so fit in the first place anyway) And i definately can feel the difference in my stamina when i used to go to the gym 3 times a week as compared to once a week now... Anyway, before we started playing Captain's ball, Ah Zai got stung by a baby scorpion!!! It was crawling on the ball and apparently bit onto his left arm and he had to pull the tail off his hand!! (or what he thought was a scorpion anyway because it looked like a scorpion's tail) All of us kept telling him to get first aid immediately, but he subbornly refused to and insisted on playing.

My purple colour toe nails! And ugly leg calf.

Bikini babes that the guys were oggling at...

The water looks nice here but it tastes really really salty!!! Yeucks!!

Halfway through the game, he felt faint and had to rest for a while in the shade... Don't know if it was due to the bite or the extreme heat and dehydration (or could be both!) but all of us were super worried for him! Everyone insisted on bringing him to get First Aid so it started out with just Dex, Mr Sarcastic and me accompanying Ah Zai. Then Gaz joined us as well! Wah, a whole gang of us accompany him man... Anyway, the stupid lifeguard in ugly sunglasses was super unhelpful and he merely sprayed this lousy thing to numb the pain away only.

"Oh, there is nothing much we can do actually. You just have to wait and see if you get any allergic reaction to the bite, and if you do, then we will call in the ambulance for you. And......... i don't think it was a scorpion that bit you because they don't live in this sort of habitat."

Thanks lor. You are so helpful. And do cut down on your sarcasm as well. You really comforted us with those words. I think he realised that we weren't too happy with his actions when Ah Zai asked for his name. His answer??

"Oh, if you need help or want to call us, just wave your arms (he really did the waving arms action ok) and shout H E L P."

I have never met a more bimbotic lifeguard. A male one at that too. Gaz's comment after that episode was, "Oh man. That was soooooooo David Hasselhoff." My sentiments exactly.

After Ah Zai rested a while from that bimbotic episode, we continued playing Captain's ball.... but in the frisbee version! Pig and i couldnt stop laughing because it was extremely hilarious and we commented that we were laughing more than playing. Though it was extremely hilarious, it was extremely exhausting as well (dunno from the laughing or the running for the frisbee) so we timed out in 5 mins again. And snacked.

A silky terrier that wanted to make friends with us!

Silky silky terrier.........

Bunny, i took these photos for you. because i know you will just die looking at them.

We then decided to go into the water because of the scorching heat and while we were in the water, this cute looking boyish faced guy starting hanging around near our group!! At first i thought it was one of the others' friend, but it turned out that he was super smitten with Mr Bedok!! He kept swimming near us and smiling to himself!! Ah Zai and i were very amused with him and he was also looking admiringly at Mr Bedok in the shower room as well! (dunno which part he was looking at also. haha!!)

After getting out of the waters, we headed for the showers where the shower jet for the girls toilet was super powerful that our bags got wet. It was a chore bathing there and the poor boys had to head for the other shower room at the other end because there was no water supply for them at the temporary toilets!

Dont ask. I thought this photo looked very............... erm, couple? I know they will kill me for putting up this photo but it's so funny! Sorry guys! *snickers*

I was extrememly adamant about taking the cable car out of Sentosa and Ah Zai said that he had not taken the cable car before!! So 2 of us really wanted to sit on it, and we managed to convince Gaz, Dex and Mr Bedok as well! The rest went to Cafe Cartel at PS directly by bus. (It was Darren's gf's birthday dinner and i really really didnt want to go.)

The cable car ride was $8.90 for 5 mins and the rest didnt want to take the $9.90 for 20 mins package because they didnt want to be late for the dinner!! Arrggghhh... Anyway, the stupid cable car was quite warm (the last time i took, i thought it was air conditioned! Or maybe i was dreaming lar) and the 5 mins passed really quickly. Took the NEL to PS and reluctantly went for the birthday dinner.

The sky was gorgeous...........

So run down!!

Took pictures in the car! Dex, Mr Sarcastic and Mr Bedok...

Like this picture of the 3 of us!! Cause we look happy!! Hee! (Im sunburnt man...)

Met up with Susie Hoe at Hereen after the dinner and was really happy to see him for once because i wanted to get away from that girl. Everyone accompanied Gaz to shop for a new bag because his old PSBB bag was pecha already and went to Esplanade to sit and yak for the rest of the night.

My heart feels really heavy. I hope to get this load off me soon. It hurts........ and I hate it.
