Apologies for my LONG absence. Been pretty busy lately the week before school starts. Actually, today is the 2nd day of school. At Sentosa.

I have mixed feelings about this whole Sentosa thingy. First of all is Distance. Yes I know, I shouldn't complain since complaining will never resolve any of this. So, I just have to let this out. Ok. The journey from my house to Sentosa is atrociously pain in the ASS! Why? Imagine this, waiting for bus 65 for 10-15 mins everyday (Not including rainy days, God knows how long more it'll take). Then, the bus ride to Vivo will take a good 45 mins to an hour (If the bus driver is such a sucker! Who have to stop at every Traffic light!). Once at Vivo, take the Monorail Express which will take a good 10mins. Lastly, the walk to the school is around 5mins max. Overall, you do the math. Distance.

Next is Food. I know..I know...I wonder what my life would be without food. So, at school, there's this small 'canteen' (the teachers called it) but I think it's more like a cafeteria with alfresco dining. I've yet to discover the 'canteen'. If they don't sell anything nice, I'm gonna hate it.

Third, Security. Now, I'm not saying that there's a guard at the entrance and we students have to undergo screen checks everytime we arrive. But guess what? There's a number code when we want to enter the TOILETS! IMAGINE that!! Oh! Plus! The lecturers and tutors have a different set of numbers from students! OMFG!!! I was wondering, if the lecturers get gold plated toilet seats and sinks when they enter the same toilet as the students, just because they have a different set of numbers! WOW! Really 'amazing'!

Lastly, TimeTable. Apparaently, I'm content with my timetable. Most of the days, I end at 3pm. But the down side of it is, I have to start at 9am. I still have 2hrs break in between lessons, which kind of suck as there's nothing interesting to roam around at Sentosa within such a short time frame. So, I wouldn't risk it. Therefore, I've decided that I'll either be in the Computer Lab doing absolutely NOTHING! or I could just be sitting around with the perpetual praying mantis sound and stone like a zombie. Interesting.

More updates and some pics of the school. :)

I took a look at how the video for the previous entry. It turned out that there's the video PLUS another duplicate. I have no idea why. Hmm...Need help. It looked OK when I "Preview" it in blogger. But when I publish it, this happen. So, I really don't know what to do. Help? Thanks.

Anyway, in the midst of typing this entry. I was just browsing through this website : omg.yahoo.com. This site has tonnes of pics of celebrities and stories about them. I'm kind of hooked to it as we'll never get them here. Locally. Either you'll have to buy US and People mags imported from the US, which gonna cost us a bomb. So why bother when you can get it for FREE? Aaahh....!!! the wonders of Technology these days. :)

So, this afternoon Kelly and I went to East Coast Park. When we reached there, the weather was showing signs of raining - Dark clouds, occasional winds and droplets of rain.

Our main agenda was to rent a 2-seater bicycle and explore the place, since we didn't have the time the other day that we went plus, Kelly couldn't ride a bike yet. However, due to the bad weather we were indecisive about renting the bike. Both of us felt wasted coming all the way to East Coast. Nevertheless, we took a risk by going ahead with the renting. It cost us $4 each. (2hrs + 2 water free). Cool.

Here's the pic of the bicycle.


There's 3 Possibilities why Kelly covered her face.
1) The SUDDEN feeling of being SHY (apparently she's NOT!)
2) Protecting her face from the Sun (It wasn't that HOT)
3) She's digging her nose for some TREASURES! (LOL!) :)


Nice pic of us. ALL SMILES...


Rina: GOSH!!! KELLY FARTED!!!!
Kelly: NO!! It wasn't me... (or was it?)



After that, we rode all the way to the SEAFOOD CENTRE. Came across this huge sandcastle. Further ahead, we saw many "Yellow People" running. Turn out to be the ARMY boys training. From far they look like a swamp of bees... After that, we reached
here.


We went in to take a look.


Pic of us.
My hair at the back look like a duck's backside. Hee..
Kelly is holding her breath. Hehe..


That's about it. Our day at the Beach.
We really got NOTHING to do. Hehe!!

It's already April. That means 1 thing - School is starting soon and I'm clearly not looking forward to it. Speaking of April, I've been fooled by my mum. She called my brother and I to see that there's a crazy "Ah Pek" at the Lift. I was so eager and rushed to the gate. When I was at the gate, I saw no one and my mum suddenly shouted "APRIL FOOL!!!" Damn!!!

Right now it's pouring HEAVILY. It's so HEAVY until I could not even see the next block. It's all Blur... WOW. Guess this rain will last for quite a while. OMG. There's children playing at the playground in the rain! GOSH! I mean I love to do that too, but not when there's lightning every few minutes. GOD! Are they insane or something?

Anyway, that's all for now.

Wait. Check out the video. My first time. Hehe!! Will have a better one next time.
