beach baby, beach baby, give me your hand
I wish I was given more time to make monthly trips to Sentosa or something.
I swear it was exactly what I needed during this shit period
...although it didn't turn out the way I expected it to.
for example during the first hour of being there my friends and I volunteered to bring this old man around the island because he was alone and sick, yet he badly wanted to see some parts of Sentosa.
we didnt think he'd have the strength to walk around so we accompanied him on a short busride around the island.
of course being the sucker that I am I almost wanted to cry while listening to his story [as if my mandarin was flawless, HA.]
he told us he's already 72 and lives alone in a 2-room flat. I struggled to recall how my grandfather would've looked like if he was still alive and decided he'd be tall, thin and fair, just like the old man.
I felt so bad looking at him peering out the window as we passed by some places, and listening quietly to Brian as he attempted to be a [more than efficient] tourguide.
sometimes the bus would jerk and the old man would clutch his left arm as if his heart couldn't take the pain anymore.
if he wasn't so fragile and tired-looking, I would've thought the man was adorable. really, he had such kind eyes and I KNOW I sound gay it's Animal Planet's fault lah.
when we left him at the busstop, cos some really nice people offered to take care of him on his journey home, I thought it was about time I decide to be abit more compassionate and sensitive towards some people.
so you have to help me k?
anyway we finally reached Siloso beach and I spent the whole time there suntanning thank GOD the weather was gorgeous yesterday.
already I was planning to be a kinder person and then Rai's Wonder Bf came along and said he found me scary cos I looked at him as if I wanted to pick a fight.
BUT HE WAS BLOCKING THE SUN.
I insisted that nono I never intended to give him my Look [because I
can be nice] but he refused to make eye-contact with me and instead preferred to cover his face with a towel.
sometimes I'd see him whispering to Rai while timidly stealing glances at me. and Rai would laugh and say 'no she's not scary!'
oh forget it I can't help myself sometimes.
...apart from that I had a nice time with my friends, although I wish the others could've made it too. I realise I'm not as flexible as before which probably explained why Twister was such a painful game to play. I also discovered that volleyball is NOT my sport, and I wish I could at least look good while playing it, if I'm never gonna be able to do the real thing. =]
[long hot days
cool sea haze
jukebox plays
but now it's fading awaaaaayyy~]
