Island Sun-shutdown
The VIP Island, cool huh?
I couldn't sleep, look at the time. It's way past midnight. So I guess before I try to curb this temporary insomia with blogging!
Two days ago, Yi Qiang, Jeremy, Hanif and I went to sentosa. It was supposed to be another ex 2b outing (there's suddenly so much of those these days), but somehow, everyone was busy - busy with school, with ang pao collecting etc. And only the 4 of us stuck up. I was suprised that even though I said I would be quite late, I was the second earliest to arrive at the meeting place. From that, I'm pretty sure it's a guy-thing to be tardy, not a girl's.
Anyway, Jeremy was VERY late. By an hour. So we waited around for him by going around the Habourfront mall, and when he finally came, we all went................ you know the three lines down the face thing that they always do on anime? Yea, we felt like that. Because he was carrying his cranky skateboard again. A skateboard on the beach would be rather humourous. Hanif says Jeremy becoming from a nerd to a skater was like Dora Lee becoming a model. Hahaha, that was funny.
So we walked all the way there, tiring route. It's a whole lot of walking to the beach. And of course since we didn't know how to reach Siloso beach, we made big roundabouts into a nature trail and through the Dragon bones. I thought the beach would be less crowded during the CNY period. But it was clotted with loads of peeps. Especially westerners and asian construction workers. So we decided to camp out at a small island off the main beach.
By late afternoon, everyone else on the island cleared back to mainland, and the guards closed off the bridge leading to the island. But surprisingly, they didn't ask us to go back on siloso beach. So that island suddenly (magically) became Our VIP Island. We watched as the lifeguards blew angrily at anyone attempting to take the bridge to Our VIP Island. And we did very random stuff on the shores.
We made a failed sandcastle, that turned out to become some spiky monster head in the end. And I was buried in sand. Actually being all covered up in sand is comfortable. Just that my friends kept complaining that I was making the sand crack all over me when I started laughing too hard.
We were slacking so much on the island, it was paradise. Okay I know that sounds contradictory, but what I meant that the environment was really enclosed and relaxed. It was like a temporary haven... apart from the normal gatherings whereby we would pack the whole day up with things to do. I like the way we didn't have to plan things, and we just lazed around.
While changing, *in the open*, Hanif accidentally striked on a woodem stump with his leg and his toe was bleeding and bleeding. He was screaming and yelling and howling. And he took my green tea as disinfecting wash. Lol.
After a very very sad goodbye to Mr. Our VIP Island, we took the chairlift back up to sentosa's entrance. Well, the chairlift was actually something like a bench, but with a metal rail across it to keep you inside the bench, and it was dwindling on a wire. Hanif and Qiang were freaked at the heights and how un-enclosed we were in midair. I mean when you go high up in the sky you'd expect to be surrounded with walls or with loads of belts and fasteners and such. But it was so exposed, and with bare safety measures (a railing), it did freak us all out abit.
We sang josh groban, laughed and joked, and yelled like nutcases midair. And I was howling the morning bird noises so loudly, I was sure the people infront of us were hoping we fell or something. Lol.
And all this ended with a first-time meal at Subway.
It rocked.
