Yesterday
an outing to sentosa with the RC people, also known as the cello and bass people. dun ask me how i became part of the RC since i'm from percussion. haha, anyway we met at harbourfront mrt to take the sentosa bus there. there were many groups of teenagers already there, including a group of 10/04 people. i think there were other TJ people as well as other JCs people. so i bought the potato chips and biscuits i was supposed to buy at cold storage before meeting them.
we were the last group to leave the station since timothy was quite late and we were talking about having to squeeze into the beach since many people are there already. but then we still found a spot under the shade of the trees on siloso beach to put our bags, before shifting to a more reliable shelter. the long stretch of beach didn't look packed at all.
we ate the egg and tuna sandwiches the girls made and then we realised why nobody brought drinks. totally forgot about that.
qingyun brought a volleyball and they planned to play the game but we really CMI cos we couldn't manage to pass the ball more than 3 times, even without a net. so say yong and i just went to soak in the water, which is very salty. we talked a bit before going up again, this time knowing they improved to a maximun of 4 passes. haha. so we headed for the waters again, this time with yonglin. there were some vj people playing ball beside us.
we headed back to the beach and found that the "volleyball" game had stopped and those people were about to go into the waters. so say yong suggested captain's ball, but only after we find 2 chairs. in the end we managed to find the chairs and played, without a few people as they went to buy water for us. i heard some vj choir people singing around us while being the catcher... should be year ones i think. the game continued until we decided to rest, waiting for the water people to come back. however, we didn't look after our chairs and one of them got stolen again.
the water people came back but we were still without a chair, so we sat around telling lame jokes, asking lame questions when we spotted where our chair had gone to: an indian woman was sitting on it by the beach. she left a while later and we got back our chair, and played captain's ball, this time round all 12 of us played except chanel who was already bathed and cleaned as she couldn't stand the sea water on her.
it was an enjoyable game... for the first time i felt myself really playing, but it had to come to an end as we have to bathe and go for dinner. it was a long wait for the girls to finish bathing as there was a long queue.
finally we ended up at sakae sushi, also on siloso beach for dinner. i waited extremely long for my bento... it's not as if the entire restaurant was packed lor, there were only the group of us plus 2 more tables. the waiter said my bento is coming behind me (the kitchen is behind me) when he served some of the others' orders. 15 minutes later, he came back again to serve some more orders, still without mine, and still the same comment: it's coming behind me. so i remarked, "is it 100 metres or 1 kilometre behind?" haha.
we left the place after paying, and were delighted to know that there's a 10% off. my food wasn't too nice actually. the beef was hard to chew. next time must order fool-proof stuff like chicken. confirm can eat without problems.
we were the last to leave the mrt station in the morning, and so we were the last to reach it at night too. so we went home, happy but tired. how very cliched indeed.
Today
my mother and i went to orchard to spend my $100 royal sporting house voucher which i got from singtel last year for signing 3 years of 1500k unlimited broadband with them. which is quite a stupid decision of mine as i have to pay $65 a month! currently the new offer is $58, and i think starhub's cable plan also cheaper.
anyway, i got an adidas shorts and nike tee and socks. it's the "stadium" shop at takashimaya... quite a large one compared to the shops u find in other shopping centres. then we walked around, ate the venetia ice cream before going back to tampines for my mother to collect her new specs.
my mother's new specs had "progressive" lenses, meaning it corrects short-sightedness with another condition called presbyopia, an age-related disease, called lao hua in chinese. different parts of the lens are used for different purposes, e.g. the upper part is to see things far away and the lower portion is to see things up close, like reading.
after collecting the specs we went to cafe cartel for dinner. it's my mother's first time there, and she found her black pepper fish pasta nice. i tried the texas rodeo pork ribs... very full lor. i also applied a student's privilege card which is free for $30 spent in a single receipt. the card has 3 designs for you to choose from and entitles you to 10% discount.
on another note, i suddenly find Huang Yi Da's songs nice. plus the newcomer, Tong En, sings with a unique voice and her songs are also very nice... currently listening to "shi qu"...
