sand and the "sea"
had a day at the beach with the dive gang today at sentosa. in the morning, the sky was very ominous looking and it did seem that we may have to cancel our outing. however, somebody up there was nice. after a short light rain, the skies cleared up, not enough for to sun to shine brightly again but enough to have an enjoyable time at the beach. i went in on my bicycle and in the process did not pay for entry. heez. met up with andrew, daniel, travis, alda, alex & alvin at the harbour frint intercahnge. berdnerd, belinda & raymond joined us later.
alda, alex and alvin made some sandwiches and potato salad for us all. it was really nice of them. heard that alex and alvin got burnt marks in the process. on my way in i noticed the monorail tracks and remebered that it will not be around anymore. i quickly took out my camera to get a shot of it.
we went to sunset bay to play beach volleyball. had to pay $5 just to be able to play on the "courts". ah well. they gave us each a green tag to signify that we had paid. also did some kayaking at the lagoon area. i took one of them single and went to the edge to relax on my own. felt really calm out there. alda brought some potato salad to the volleyball area to eat but while we were taking photos, i was hungry and finished the whole container. oops. big fat alvin seems to be akan datang.
had a game of football and the gals joined in. they were pretty "rough" and i think i sprained my toe while running around. we had been mentioning that alda had yet to be thrown into the water yet and today, alex finally got her in. haha. and we even covered her in sand turning her into a human "muah chee". belinda looked on in laughter and did not want to get to near lest she got dragged in as well. after all the fun we had at the beach, we opted to go for dinner and a movie. the gang opted to shower at the NTUC resort while i went home to shower and to change my clothes. on my way out, i saw this peacock walking in the middle of the bus bay and found it very proud. too bad it did not open its tail.
by the time i had my shower and changed, the gang had yet to reach harbourfornt mrt station. so i quickly made my move to catch up with them at outram mrt station with our destination being plaza singapura. as the tickets the 6.50pm into the blue show was selling fast, we decided to watch the 9.20pm show instead at marina square. we adjorned to thai express for our dinner and i opted for the seafood phat thai. it was good but too much thai food in quick succession kind of makes it not as appealing. after the meal, we bid farewell to the folks heading home early, while the remaing 4 of us, alex, alda, raymond & i made our way to marina square for our movie.
we had some gelato before heading for the movie. as we were still early, alex and i tried our hand at the initial d racing game. i got to say i really lucked out and won both alex and alda in quick succession. however, i was soon soundly beatened by a regular of the game. ah well, i got in 3.5 races on my $1, can be considered a pretty good return.
the movie into the blue is pretty good. not because of the actress but because of the diving scenes. seeing the actors and actresses swimming among the rays and sharks really makes me want to to diving again. the water in the movie is so clear! dayang and tioman are nowhere near. i really look foward to my next dive trip.
from here on, until the end of november, we would not be meeting up as the exams are near. time to start studying for the exams. till we meet again!
