Yo!!!
There was a CLASS outing yesterday, but only 14 made it. Nevertheless, i appreciated those who made an effort to come. It was a fun and tiring day, and i think we'll be going for another trip to Sentosa very soon! :p
Meeting time was at 7.30 AM, but most of us waited til 8.30AM plus for Raenes and YiYang ( who lives at Compass Heights). We saw Kenneth on the way to work at like 8.25AM or so. He was late but wow, he came over to chat with us. Eventually, he skipped his work and went on the outing with us! Isn't he a great friend? :D
During that 1 hour of waiting time, Bris, Amanda, Josh and I bought some food cos we were so damn hungry. Amanda then taught me a trick to change my EZ-Link card back to student price, and it worked! Thanks Amanda!
Now, if any of you wants to know how to do it, PAY ME! >:D MWHAHAHAHAHA!
Anyways, we set off to Vivo City in the MRT. We joked and chatted along the way while TQ and Josh sat on the MRT seats, away from the rest of us. Next, we arrived at Vivo City and went to the highest floor to take the train to Sentosa. Each of us had to pay 3 dollars for the ticket ( which is like a temporary EZ-Link card ). We bought 1 extra card and had to refund. Bris threw away the receipt before that. I had thought that refunds needed receipts so i went to dig it out from the dustbin, only to realize that it isn't needed. So, we got the 3 bucks back and returned to its rightful owner ( Josh).
While waiting for the train, we took some pictures together. It was fun!
The design and interior of the train to Sentosa was pretty cool. Nothing like the LRTs. We sat on the train until the last stop - BEACH STATION.
We got off the train and to our surprise, we saw a male Peacock near the waiting line for the Trams! A dude from The Coffee Bean was feeding it with some crumbs of cookies i think. Sufi went to take some from him and fed the Peacock. Soon, it began to walk away into the open road. It was a close call when the lorry slowed down to let the Peacock cross the road or it would have been a bloody mess. Joel says that the Peacock was so Arrogant, it was Stupid. The peacock didn't even like try to run faster or dodge away. All it did was look at the lorry and then continued to strut across the road.
Soon the Tram arrived and we went onboard the Tram to Siloso Beach. To our dismay, the Siloso beach was filled with swarms of people because there was some SAFRA event going on. We took the Tram back to the waiting line and then went onboard the one to Palawan Beach. We tried to be friendly to the tourists but most of them didn't even care. However, most americans were polite enough to give a smile, while other tourists of other nationalities didn't even give a sh*t.
When we arrived at Palawan Beach, the volleyball courts were taken but luckily, the Beach Soccer field was not. :D We went to put our bags down and then the boys (including me) rushed off to the Soccer field with YY's soccer ball. The girls went to the toilet and bought some drinks from 7-11 along the way. Then there was this promotion about spending $5 dollars to get 1 stamp. When one has 10 of those stamps, he/she can exchange it for a free Hello Kitty toy. Amanda keep telling us to give her the stamp when we have it. Thus, this lead to the boys calling Amanda, an auntie. xD
When the girls came back, they joined in the game. When the ball flew into the water, many of us wanted to go take it cos the water was just so cooling and so inviting in such a hot weather. There was once when a volleyball from a group of girls at the VolleyBall court in front of us, flew into a far side of the beach. Sufi imeediately rushed to the take the ball, but realised the water was too cold, and the ball was too far. Thus, we continued to play the game, and didn't care about the ball. It was eventually picked up by some surfers anyway. Soon, the girls from the Volleyball court left. One of them seriously beared a close resemblance to Kezia. Joel called out "KEZIA!", but the girl didn't replied. Well of course she didn't, it wasn't her anyway. xD
We dashed to play volleyball after that. And soon, some group of guys came to rob us off our Fun. He wanted to challenge us. We declined the challenge of course, but the weather was too damn hot and the sands beneath our feet was burning and soon, we eventually retreated to shelter.
The boys (except TQ) then went topless and immediately ran into the sea! As quoted by Briscillia, she said that i was disgustingly skinny. Or at least that was what i heard. But heck, i knew she said it as a joke... or did she not? Anyway, the sea water was uber Salty. but it was great. We pulled the 3 girls into the water anyway even though they gave a huge load of excuses. xD
The worse thing was that we tried to pull TQ into the sea. It was an EPIC FAILURE! Well not as fail as i am but, we failed to pull him into the sea. He was too powerful and the group of boys couldnt even make him budge. Soon, YY flashed his Spongebob Squarepants towel! Damn, it was so cute! Now i want one of those. LOL
TQ left along the way that because he had to meet up with his usual gang to head over to the open houses of some JC which i couldn't remember.
Soon, Fidaiy, Shah and KM arrived. KM joined the boys in the sea and we went to look at some mudskippers along the rocks and stuff. It was cool, but the water was getting too cold and it wasn't as sunny as before. We decided to wash up and went for a cycle after lunch.
We went to eat lunch at like near 4PM. We decided to have Instant Noodles from 7-11. The stuff we bought eventually totaled up to 10 stamps for the Hello Kitty toy. Amanda went to redeem it and in the end, it wasn't much of a toy. But anyway, we went to the Bike renting shop at Siloso Beach area. The rates were high, but it was expected because it is Sentosa - a tourist attraction.
We taught Josh how to cycle and in no time, he was like a pro. He nearly got hit by a beach tram once. And on another occasion, he went straight, crashing into a tourist. But thankfully, none was hurt and the tourist wasn't pissed at all. Soon, the 1 hour ended in a flash. We explored much of the beach areas of Sentosa. Much fun, it was.
After that, YY went to wash up, while Kenneth and Josh tagged along. The rest decided to head over to the toilet at Palawan Beach. However, along the way, we strayed away from our main purpose and went to play Volleyball when we saw an empty court. However, we got ready to play, we realised that it was in fact, a private court. Thus, we packed our bags and got ready to leave. However, the foreigners who owned the court invited us to play with them. It was a 6 vs 6 match. 3 of the foreigners with 3 of our people one one side while 3 of the other foreigners and 3 of our people on another team. It was fun even though the team i was in lost. Well it was kinda my fault too. Ah well Epic failure Andre is really Epic Failure.
YY got pissed at us cos he, Josh and Kenneth waited for nearly half an hour for us at the meeting point we had previously planned. The rest decided not to bathe and headed back to Vivo City. Then we went onboard the MRT and went back to Compass Point as the prices of the food in Vivo City were pretty much expensive. We went to KFC for dinner and we saw Solihin working at Pizza Hut. Shah said that it was the first time he was so clean upon clearing the dishes left on the tables. Jm and Kelvin was at KFC too. We ate and chatted in KFC til 10PM plus and then went to Metro to shop for awhile. The rest then went home after that while me and Joel went to take the MRT again.
The day was not over as I had to head over to Potong Pasir to my Grandfather's house to pray.
My family and I stayed until around near 3AM. I was dead tired by then. When i reached home i took a bathe, applied some moisturizer on my sunburnt parts of skin, blow dried my hair, had some Soda water cos my Mom said it could cool me down from the whole day of Playing. After that, i went to sleep. Phew, i slept easily and soundly through the night and woke up at 3PM today. So, that's a day at the beach with like a quarter of my class.
Anyways, tomorrow's the BIG day. I'm so damn anxious about it. i think that i'm doomed. Argh, it's to early to say anything, and too late to regret.
Hope it all goes well to everyone of you. Good luck and all the best.
Peace,

I R FAILZOR!
