魔幻季节 by 梁咏琪

Animals United aka Tomb Sect outing today. 4 girls, whale of a fun time. we went sentosa with suntanning in our mind, but somehow it became a picnic + frisbee day for me n Birdy. We bought $10 worth of sushi, a few bags of twisties, 1 big bottle + 6 packets of pokka green tea, prawn crackers, etc etc n lugged the barang barang there. We've got a box of green grapes with seed too! <- ask Birdy for the link btwn grapes and beach, a lot left in the end anyway.

Meow meow's doing some RA photo mosaic editing now.. i'm practically laffing at the screen.

We found a not-that-crowded spot at tanjong beach, after walking from Palawan, and waiting for Birdy to change into her biks. Y she nvr wear it b4 she came? She scared later drop.(Quoted word-for-word) Hers was a white TYR tube-like biks, no wonder. RR and Meow were already setting up their "grilling spot" while i waited for Birdy to change. I threw my bag on the mat the moment i arrived, and tucked into my origiri, totally oblivious to the Coppertone suntan Meow and RR were spraying IN FRONT of me. So it was origiri + suntan, wonder y i've not died from food poisoning yet, althou i'm having a bit of sore throat now, continuously drinking water.

2pm, the sun was shining, I'm still eating in the coconut tree shade with Birdy, our mats not even prepared. Stomach satisfied, we set up our mats with our feet on the hot sand, I mean, HOT! So we're jumping ard more than setting up. Note: my slippers at this time was a mat weight for my "grilling spot" Hers, I dunno y she nvr wear. 3pm, after dousing ourselves in Banana Boat suntan, as we lie down on our towels, the sun hid behind the clouds. DAMN! Worse, we could feel a couple of raindrops courtesy of the dark clouds on our left. RR n Meow were either sleeping, sunburning my Da Vinci, munching on Twisties or jus playing the roles of bacons on the bbq pit, meaning turn, bask, turn, bask, repeat until roasted. Me and Birdy, being the more active ones, jus couldn't endure the monotone of lying flat on the sun. We ended up clicking our cameras away at each other, at the coconut trees, at the sand, at the clouds, at the waves, watever we could find, turning into one minute directors for some scenes. A lot of censored photos, but i'll only post the harmless ones.


Flat on the Sand


Grasping the Coconut Tree

Help! Tsunami Incoming!!

I think i'm having rashes... *scratch scratch*

Then the hyperactive kids jumped into the sea with a frisbee in hand. Swimming after lost frisbees became the game, and feeling the seaweed tickle our legs, super gross. We went back after a while, n moved our "grilling pits" to the "mountainous area" next to RR and Meow. It was a steep decline, half the time i was trying to stablise myself on the slope, flattening the mountains left by the tarzanic occupants b4 us, the other half was playing tug-of-war with the wind. Finally the 4 pigs were on an extended "grilling pit", side by side. The hyperactive kids continued eating since, NO SUN!!

Sentosa was practically swarming with kids, dogs, foreigners, and WEDDING COUPLES. We saw like 5 couples taking their shots there. Most prob they'll have to photoshop the shots as there's a lot of interfering elements in the background, esp one green frisbee flying ard for one of the couples. The sunset is not even nice, the clouds dark, wonder what they're taking.

We took the tram back to Palawan, amidst a very mild sunset. Rinsed ourselves at the public showerhead as the que was seriously too long. Took turns to look after the bags, going thru the cycle of Look Bag, Rinse, Look Bag, Que, Change, Wait. Super gross and salty.


Mild Sunset

Back to mainland SG, we qued for Sakae at Harbourfront. We're like hungry ghosts. 1st round of orders costs us $30++ = abt 15 plates, n thats jus, 1st round. Salmon Sushi, Somen, Chawanmushi, Fried Tofu, Cold Tofu, etc etc, we had them all. 20 plates, n going strong. 30 plates, the hyperactive kids were up to their tricks again. We ARRANGED the plates according to COLOR!! Still eating all bcos Birdy said we used to eat 40+ plates once. Ordered Cold Tofus again to contribute to the 40 plates target. Finally we reached our target, thou not breaking our record that Birdy insisted. The hyperactive kids stacked up the 40 plates, and took pic. MWAHHAHHAHA. I think the manager recognises us as the crazy girls who ate 40 plates n stacked them up n took photos. He jokingly asked us,"Wah next time u all going to hit the 50 plates target arh?" HAHHAHA..


Sacrifices for the Hungry Ghosts


4 girls, 40 plates, 1 leaning tower.

Shared a cab home, scrubbed myself + my biks. I need Dettol Body Foam. Still dun feel clean enuff.

Finally finished uploading the photos in parts to RR's briefcase. Stupid Birdy must have conked out. I've some censored pics in her camera!! GRR. Time for bed. Pester her tmr.
