Of the Bad Good Friday
Day one of the long awaited break.There long weekend ahead really got me hyped yesterday in school.However,yesterday was the first day the people who failed maths had to attend the remedial held after school in LT4.Argh.It sucks to be the failure.But then again,it seemed as if half the cohort was there.So the LT seemed more like a mass grave than anything else.Anyway,we were released way before the remedial,so a couple of starved souls decided to go to McDonalds to grab a bite at anything avaliable.Yesterday marked the first time Jasmine went out with us.ZhuangYi was there,Shariffah,JiaYing,WanWei,Rachel,LiuYin,WanJun and Samantha were there too.So we spent the afternoon in the noisy McDonalds,talking and chewing on leftover ice.(At least i was doing that.)We started talking about having a class outing today,Good Friday.We've never had a class outing.Those our class's pretty united in a way,we've never really had a class outing.Perhaps it was because most of us are captains or presidents of some team or clubs.Too busy to spare some time for some social activities.Or perhaps we were just reluctant to go out as a group.Afterall,despite the unity,there are still differences waiting to be conquered.Anyway,so a few suggestions sprang up during the debate.Zoo and Sentosa were the last nominated locations.(Others were eliminated due to plain stupidity.)Rachel and JiaYing wanted to go to the Zoo.They wanted to play with butterflies and touch reptiles.I turned on the sarcasm mode and went,"Wow.And let the Giraffe chew on your hair.Yay."I mean,the first class outing and you want to go to the Zoo?Hello?Making any sense?They were determined to go to the Zoo,while me and ZhuangYi supported the idea of kayaking at the beach.Since ZhuangYi never kayaked before,he was pretty interested in it.And i,havent kayaked for a long time,and would gladly do it again.After much debate,we settled on Sentosa and settled the time.

Today,i woke up at 850am to prepare.I was too tired after the remedial to do any form of preparations.So this morning i began the packing.Threw in some suntan lotions,shampoo and facial wash.Ironed my clothes and prepared to get out of the house.Met up with JiaYing at Serangoon Mrt and we headed down to Harbor Front Mrt together.She was supposed to attend church in the morning,but she overslept.She told me that god wont forgive her for what she did.God.Sigh.Christians.Always so scared that they wont recieved forgiveness.I dont think God is that petty.Millions of people will attend church today for his death,and one less human wont make much of a difference.Anyway,so we met up and headed to Sentosa via the shuttle bus.Point to note,WanJun's boyfriend tagged along with her.Some of us didnt like that idea of a boyfriend tagging along.This comment is not directed at him really.Anyone who brought his or her boyfriend or girlfriend wouldve been a weird thing to do.Afterall,we agreed on calling this outing a "Class Outing".(Though more than half the class werent there.)He did not do it deliberately,but he kinda spoiled the mood for some if not,all of us.We felt uncomfortable and stuff.And that hindered us from talking about the usual stuff we talk about if we were together.Instead of her bf being left out,we were walking around quiet and silent.And it was a weird feeling.Haha.I think her bf looks like Xu Shao Yang,an actor from some chinese drama series called,"Lavender".A little bigger in size though.Anyway,We took the bus there and arrived at Siloso Beach.The sun was high up and scorching.The sand burnt even with our sandles and slippers on.The coconut trees provided no shelter whatsoever for us,other than casting tiny shadows around the foot of the trees.The beach was already packed with people.And more people were pouring onto the beach.I personally prefer empty beaches.You can strip nude and round down the coastline for 2km or so and nobody would even notice you.Basically,you can do anything if you are alone on the beach.So we found a shady spot under a particular large coconut tree,and Rachel took out two picnic mats.Yellow and Pink.Sigh.Anyway,we placed our stuff on it and started playing Volleyball with ZhuangYi's ball.(Please dont think otherwise.)I sat out at first,since there were seven people.WanJun's boyfriend plays some pretty good beach volleyball.In fact,very good.We were more amateur than he is.ZhuangYi was probably the better of the lot.The girls were generally reluctant to move,and complaining about how the sand was burning their feet.I on the other hand,managed to return most of the balls,surprisingly.Considering that i am a sucker at volleyball games.In fact,i suck at any sports that requires the usage of any part of my body.Im good at sports which requires a racket or bat.(Badminton,ping pong,squash.)Anyway,i served the ball and it flew way behind the opponents and away onto the edge of the beach.Ouch.That serve sucked.My arm were already turning bright red by the time i started getting into the game.I guess it was partially due to the heat.Volleyball being the next reason.Which is also a reason why i hate volleyballs.Anyway,we rested for awhile while i headed towards the toilets to get coke.(Yeah,not the greatest place to get a drink but it was were the vending machine was located.)ZhuangYi and Rachel fell asleep on the mat soon after,LiuYin and JiaYing went off to Delifrance to get drinks while the lovebirds disappeared.I,went to the beach and soaked myself in water,and allowed the current to carry me away.It was really cooling,considering how scorching the sand was.Rachel,LiuYin,JiaYing and i went to the other end of the coast to catch fish.Yes,Rachel actually brought a spade and a bucket to build sand castles.We used that to catch little fishes that swam along the coast.I kept insisting that we will never be able to catch them like that,since they have cells built in their skins to react to light changes,so as to help them escape when there is an attack.They never listened and went on hunting for fishes.They picked up a few dead corals here and there,and decided to give them to NKT.(Chuckles.)I soaked myself in water there,and it felt bloody good i must say.We went back,and i urged ZhuangYi to go rent a kayak.However,he was too lazy to move.You come to Siloso beach,all the way from home,to sleep on the beach.Good call.Anyway,JiaYing and Rachel started building sand castles.I kept asking them to to kayak with me,but they refused.JiaYing said it was lame to kayak in Sentosa since the limited area is no bigger than a soccerfield.(In East Coast you can go as far as 2km.)I agreed,but i gave her that "As-if-a-JC-student-building-sandcastles-is-not-a-lame-thing-to-do" kind of look.Oh well,in the end that idea was flopped.Argh.I came for the kayak,and that idea flopped.Great.They got hungry,so we took the monorail around the island.It was a boring ride.It reminded me how much i hated Sentosa when i was young.it was pure boredom to start off with.I wonder how the government managed to sustain such a boring island,how they have the face to promote Sentosa as being the ideal place an island life.Yeah,maybe the beach.Everything else was unnecessary and down right boring.I mena,Volcanoland?Fort Siloso?Museums?Comon'.They are stupid.Admit it.Why build more beaches and golf courses?Anyway,we reached the station and got off.Headed towards the nearest Burger King and bought food.By then i already consumed 2 cans of coke and a bottle of mineral water.And i was still thirsty.Everything was ridiculously inflated on that accursed island.Everything was more expensive there.Son of a bloody ass bitch.And there went my money.All down the bloody drain.Thank god me and ZhuangYi brought enough money.Or else we wouldnt have been able to afford even the mineral water.(Two bloody dollars.Piss.)We left the island after the meal,and we went home after that.As i took 105 home,i was thinking about two things:How my money disappeared miraculously in one day on a single island,and how good this trip wouldve been if those bikini top babes and buffed up hunks just disappeared from the beach.Most of them didnt even have the body to show off in the first place.Runways and flabby tummies.Oh.My.God.As i floated on the sea,i thought about how nice it mightve been if i brought her here.Perhaps it is a good place to date?Haha.Who cares.Will never happen anyway.Float together in the sea and talk about anything under the burning sun.Just let the time pass as we talk on and on on the beach alone,with no idiotic freesbie boys and soccer dudes.No suntanning babes and no hunks in tights.(There was this guy who bravely sunbaked himself in an underwear.Awful sight.)Just the two of us floating on the high seas.Wow.Lovely.
