Yesterday was well.. beachy to say the least. Hah, after a er... don't know how many years hiatus from Sentosa, the family place, i returned there with 4 other people! Have to say the build up to the trip was promising enough, how it turned out to be a five man army nobody will ever know but I know i'm glad like hell it turned out ok.
The famous five arrived at the designated meeting point rather late but that's always the case isn't it? Hahaha didn't matter though, as the five had a hearty breakfast cum lunch at ljs before cs the emo and jl the great went to grab ourselves a ball. Cs the emo was particularly choosey about the ball, had to go with our 'cool and awesome' image. After much dallying, we decided upon a black one with the usual 'Mikasa' prominent as always. As we purchased our tickets to the 'island of fun', edi the slut, elvin the rich and jy the model plus the two of us nestled into our corner spot on the monorail as it brought us across the short stretch of water. The 'future development' and 'bimbia?' stations later, we got off at our stop and proceeded to Palawan beach.
Then came the awkward part. The start. A glance around the surroundings provided these details. 1) A group of teen boys playing beach soccer. 2) A group of Japanese people playing beach volleyball. 3) A couple dinking the volleyball over the net gingerly 4) 2 girls within 10m of us stoning. Or whatever (they were wearing sunglasses you see...)
STRESS.
Fortunately though, cs the emo mama sent the ball HURTLING down the stretch of golden 'glorious' sand. We came out of our hives and started 'strutting our stuff'. On a couple of occasions though, the ball homed in to a little shelter about 20m away from us where some people were filming some show. Emomama got a hiding but it didn't matter. We were having fun! After exhausting and dehydrating ourselves (not helped by the scorching sun), we proceeded for a water break followed by a quick game of beach soccer with some beach bums. Obviously, we didn't give too much of a hoot about winning them so we let them build some self-confidence by conceding goals galore. Then again, I couldn't let them get away heads held high and all, so i put them back in their place with 2 goals, albeit career-threatening ones. (my feet was BOILING) I hit the post once too for good measure.
After soaking our feet in the polluted waters of 'Family' Palawan Beach, we then rented bikes and started our Tour de Sentosa. Unfortunately, Sentosa's too small and we breezed past the place with consummate ease. The unstability and antics of Elvin the Rich only served as extra amusement as he crashed again, and again, and again.. Ah, but it's all in the name of fun! Right, Elvin? A bath and a short walk around Vivo later, Trip 'Viva La Sentosa' concluded.
A much needed day in the sun.
