Sunday, May 11, 2008Yesterday was my first time "tanning" at Sentosa!!!Unfortunately, it rained. Of all days it had to be yesterday. We headed there anyhow, hoping to get a LITTLE bit darker, but to no avail. At least i didn't turn the least bit darker, only more freckles. =( We headed to Tanjong beach cause we wanted to stay away from the crowd. If you've been there before you would know there's a beach bar there called KM8. They had like many wooden tanning beds etc, being first-timers we weren't sure whether we could just lie there(well common sense told us we had to buy something from them) but we just decided to give it a shot. Sure enough, their stuff approached us. We took some time to discuss what to get cause their stuff was really quite expensive. Decided on some snack called potato cheese balls ($10.20) and here comes the part that sort of made me a little displeased. The staff actually gave us a bit of the "my god, can't afford just get out" kind of feel. Which was rather disappointing. I mean I know it's a little cheapskate to have 3 people there but only order potato cheese ball and I seriously won't bother about her attitude IF I wasn't going to pay SERVICE CHARGE. It amounted to $11.80. Roughly $0.80 for a mini ball. The food was quite good I must admit but I definitely didn't feel the service charge was worth it. Anyways, we didn't stay long cause 2 of our guy friends joined us a while later so being the shy and conservative us(2 out of 3 of us), we put on our top and headed elsewhere since we could not eat outside food there(which was reasonable). OK, I know it might sound a LITTLE ridiculous whatever I just complained about but honestly, I AM a mountain tortoise so meeting this kind of service was really quite a let-down. We didn't want to lie on the sand as we didn't bring sufficient changing clothes and the sand was still pretty wet from the morning rain. We had quite a bit of fun playing volley but all the girls' hands are bruised. I would love to head down again sometime but this time, SPF50 on my face and hopefully tanning lotion on my body. Haha Headed to Kim Gary for dinner around 5, the food wasn't too bad. Price not very cheap but its alright. Went to Sasa for a free eyebrow trimming as part of our "walk about to digest", then ended the day with desert at haigan daz. Manage to surprise her with a candle on the desert and a bunch of very enthusiastic staff at Haigan Daz. They actually gathered round to sing "Happy Birthday" with us. Really appreciated that. =) After that, it was... PACK PACK PACK + MAD RUSH!!!! Moving out is seriously CRAZY. Minimalistic is going to be my main focus when I move in next sem but I seriously think... I'll lost focus. HAHA... Today is MOTHERS' DAY!!! So HAPPY MAMAS' DAY!!!! Had a great feast at my grands just now. We had popiah, sushi and fruit party!!! Couldn't help but stuff myself with popiah. It was absolutely LOVELY!!! Had like 4? =X And to think that I actually had a whole set lunch at Han's Bakery in the afternoon. After feasting so many days in a row, its no wonder my grandpa said I gained weight. Hahaha... Oh, and my sis did the sweetest thing! She actually wrote in to The Straits Times for a short description of our Mum and it was published! In the Classifieds!!! =D Really happy it was published. Alright, that ends my day. Now back to some stuff that's been on my mind for some time. Being the oldest child, I never really reflected how my words or actions actually affected my siblings because after all, we're seperate human beings. But after being in hall and talking to friends who are the middle or youngest child, I suddenly realise how much damage I've done to my relationship with my siblings. I always use hurtful words and bully my sister when I was younger and ignorant about such stuff, and now that I've come to learn about it, I'm trying to change but I'm facing 2 set-backs- 1. my sis has suffered too much damage such that everything she says has become hurting and intolerable. 2. its a BAD habit that is really hard for me to change esp when she says things that are extremely hurting and unkind. And her intolerable mannerisms which i feel like stangling her about(which I'm sure she feels the same). I really hope I can find a book that'll slowly open her up. Our relationships between the family really isn't good and I feel terrible about it. I just hope that someday I am able to change myself into a better and more patient person and hopefully be able to heal the wounds I've inflicted unto her. Pray for me yeah! =) Well, shall end here. Take care everybody!!! *hugZz* |
