Premature start to the holidays

Today's only the 9th day of the 2 study and examination weeks, and our class has already started celebrating with an afternoon spent at Sentosa's Siloso Beach. However, although our class has already inished our examinations, some friends who are from the other courses have yet to complete theirs. Some are completing their last papers tomorrow, while others will complete theirs on Friday, the last day of the examinations.

This morning, at the bus stop, I met a friendly bus captain at the bus stop, who recommended me a cake shop which sold really good cakes somewhere in Bedok. I guess I should really head down to try out the cakes, and perhaps buy some back home too, and if they're really delicious, maybe I could get a whole cake for a birthday party.

AN hour later at 12.30pm, met up with Jian Hui, Jun Jie, Izzat, Kisho, An Yan, Janna and Nura at Vivocity, before taking the Sentosa Express over to Beach Station, where we walked down to Siloso Beach. We set up our mats under a tree, and went for a game of beach volleyball. Well, today was the first time I tried the sport, but it seemed that I ws able to control the ball without much difficulty, perhaps because I learnt the basics back in secondary school? After that went for a dip in the sea, so as to prevent myself from getting sun burnt(it proved to be really useful, as it turned out that I might be the only one from the group who escaped being sun burnt). At 2.30pm, we cooked. Yes, we did cook, with solid fuel, a stove and 2 mass tins. To some tourists, we might have looked a like bunch of fools taking along packets of instant noodles to a beach. But, we did have fun cooking as well as finishing our dishes, for we had saved some bucks on service charge and GST.

After lunch, we continued on with our game of volley ball as well as into the water to cool ourslves down to escape from the afternoon heat that ws bearing us down. At 6pm, we left for the Luge for a short ride. The luge ride down to the finish point was refreshing in a way, and there were some nice scenes during the ride to the starting point! Jun Jie said that he was able to drift on the track as there were many sharp bends, but I'm not sure if it the craft could drift.

We left Vivocity again at 6.40pm, this time for a proper meal. At 8pm, only Jian Hui, Jun Jie, An Yan, Janna and I were the only ones left, so we decided to follow Janna on her hour-long shopping spree, which was considered to be one to the shortest so far. Anyway, the actual holidays only start next week. So what to do for these few days before the holidays start? Well, maybe I should continue to find a job, or maybe I should just search for some games to play online?
