And my narcissistic self.
Anyway, we met up with the rest of the people along the way and when we finally got to Sentosa, it was scorching hot.
Like, literally, scorching hot. Only the middle strip of sand was the fine pearl-white sort. The rest was simply coarse sand. What was worse was that the coarse sand was hotter, so it was not only painful physically but the heat emanating from it was torture too.
YL wanted to do some tanning but everyone else was either putting on sunblock instead of suntanning lotion, or running off for some other games so I decided to accompany her and get rid of the tan lines on my arms that I got from wearing sleeved tee-shirts 24/7 once and for all.
However, we faltered under the intensity of the summer sun, which was made even hotter by the fact that Singapore's only season was summer, so our official tanning session lasted less than twenty minutes.
It was somewhat pathetic, seeing as other groups of people just never seem to do anything during their stay at the beach other than tanning while lazing around.
After being forced by the heat to give up, we retreated to the water where YL and another coursemate got smashed with flour as some sort of birthday celebration ritual.
I was very tempted to do the same, but my impulse to do something evil was thwarted by the knowledge that if something were to happen to me later on, she would join in the torturing as a revenge.
I got fully drenched eventually, after everyone else had gotten in the water and my then decision to "heck it all!" with my lack of affinity with large bodies of water.
Still, I got soaked once again during some games we had in the water.
There were lots of strange things to see today. Not including the few fish sighting we had. The guys tried to catch one but it got away. There was also this small school of tiny fish I saw when YL came back from washing flour off her body in the deeper parts of the water.
What I meant was, there were other sightings.
Let's see, loads of couples having a snog-fest in the water (ugh, I mean, imagine the sweat from every other people who got in the water. Not to mention salt, micro-organisms, fish droppings, urinal secretions from toddlers and the bacteria in the very saliva that they were swapping between each other. How appealing was that?) as if it was a "must do" at Sentosa beaches, and surfers who just lay on their surfboards and paddled with their hands out to the boundary of the enclosed area before paddling back.
Really, you'd think that Singaporeans are usually intelligent beings.
*Points to previous paragraph*
Anyhoo, we got out of the water (with me actually wanting to stay under the sun so that I could dry my clothes while warming up from the seawater. I don't have appropriate swimwear, you see. Remember, fear of large bodies of water?) and after some lazing around, the rest of the group decided to sand-bury KT.
And of course, we paid our respects to him.
Can you spot me?
There was much fooling around after that; just playing whatever that came to our minds.
Frisbee, football (played with a volleyball), volleyball (which I did not get involved with, thanks to my pain-filled memory of volleyball lessons during secondary school PE), and more aimless floating about in the seemingly-clean seawater.
YL's and my shadows.
Some... Hut/shade thingies that were tucked away beyond the beach.
A revolving swing YL found.
Apparently, she couldn't jump high enough to reach it.
I succeeded though =)
On our way back to the group.
I originally had a photograph of KT wearing that sarong from chest down. But he tricked me into letting him look through my other photos and instead deleted that precious blackmail material!
So I've just snapped as many photos of him with that sarong (YL's, by the way) as I could in an attempt at revenge.
YL's heart-shaped bruise.
Must have gotten it from playing volleyball.
I had to leave early though, thanks to my father's random suggestion about having dinner at this Muslim restaurant.
I'm still hungry now though. Must be all the energy I've exerted today.
Better go find something to eat soon.
Thanks to those few hours under the sun and my diligence at having my sleeves rolled up, the tan line below the ball of my shoulders is gone!
Take that, stupid sleeve-tan-line!
Well, I wouldn't know for sure if it's gone. Have to wait for the whole redness-of-the-skin to fade first.
The onslaught of itchiness would come first though, seeing that I'm those "turn red but not darken when tanned" sorts, which would prelude some major skin shedding.
The skin at my shoulder is already starting to hurt whenever I push the sleeves up.
Oooh... This cannot be good. I hate the consequences of getting a sunburn.
And I've already started to ache all over from today's activities. It's a good thing that I have the whole weekend to recuperate.
It's strange though, that effects are showing this fast, as compared to what I've experienced before. Already the redness is beginning to settle into a glazed-bronze just mere hours from leaving Sentosa.
Hoohum.
Don't you just love it when the sky is such a clear infinite shade of blue?
Those little specks there are my friends from my diploma.
That blue tent isn't ours, though.
