I'm supposed to meet the Fei Zhen, Gretchen, Cheryl, Corina, Wei Long and Alex at 8am Habourfront mrt station, but guess what i took the wrong bus ( the one which took a longer time to reach ) and ends up reaching at 8.30am. Went to buy breakfast at kopitiam before taking the light rail to sentosa. Well the entrance fee to sentosa was quite cheap at 3 bucks and this time round they give you a paper tap card instead of some coupon. The tap card still have quite a number of problems given that Alex owns a faulty card and the huge number of staff at every entrance/exit helping out people with faulty cards.
We reached the beach at about 9am and we found oursevles an empty volleyball court !!! I was suprised by the change in the layout of the beach yesterday. There is a significant decrease in the amout of beach volleyball courts and the 3 new public volleyball courts. There we met this 2 expats one was an englishman whos name was Sam. He was a councilor and a school teacher. While the other was Eric and Korean, i found out his name as he wrote it on his volleyball. Both were quite okay players and they joined us to play. Kevin and Hong Chin came to join us shortly after that as Kevin woke up late while Hong Chin had an appointment with his doctor.
At about 11am where more and more people came, our court turn into a competitive court with the winner staying. Most of the people there are 20+ and they are all seasoned players. We saw this good team with 3 guys and 1 girl, they managed to win 9 straight games !!! OWNAGE. Well my team wasn't that bad either, we won some games and lost the others, given the fact that we haven't been playing for almost 5 months, thats quite good already.
By about 3pm, we start to get tired and decided to sit down and talk in the shade till about 5 plus were we start playing again as the sun was not so hot. Went to wash up after watching the sun setting, and guess what this Hong Chin ar, damn joker. Sometimes it just sucks to be him. Haha. We are walking on the road and we saw this tram comming straight at as, so he mentioned that the first one to siam is hum ji, ends up he jump away first then immediately after he jump over this small hedge, he fell flat on the floor clutching both his legs and shout pain pain. At first we though he kenna poke by the hedge but guess what, both his legs crammed !!! Haha. Damn loser but damn funny.
After that was dinner with the volleyballers before chionging over to plaza sing to wish jasmine a happy belated birthday. Upon arrival i receive a lot of comments about my sun burnt. First was isaac whos says i'm like an ang pow. Then weiji says i'm glowing red in the dimly lit swenson. Then salimah who happen to pop by says that i put too much foundation !!!
We had ice-cream cake again for jasmine's brithday. Experience thought us that its gonna be tough to cut it. Luckily for us the swenson's waitress agreeded to help us bring into the kitchen to cut it. Tim joined us later as he had to attend to his mother's birthday celebration. After that joel, tim and peesheng all decided to stay over at weiji's house to play 2moons. Thats like nuts. Anyway we met Vince with his Aaralyn ( though she looked different from my impression ) and also Shin and Wenxi. The Vince ar, first thing he saw me and pounce on me. And my back hurts like HELL and immediately my leg crammed. Argh was hopping on my way out of plaza sing like some retarded guy. Haha.
It was a very enjoyable day and i'm still red now like some lobster. After swimming for like 2 hours this morning, my whole upper torso still hurts like hell. I gave up the thought of going to sentosa again today, else i'll suffer from 2nd degree burns by the end of tmr.
