Picnic at the beach

I haven't been productive lately. Possibly because it's the holidays right now, but I've to return to school for one more week for Step Up Programme. Feeling dreadful as ever. But not till the extend where I actually stay at home behind the computer screen all day.

Guess where I went on Friday? (I didn't play truant, haha. There was AYE for selected pupils and there wasn't school for the rest.)

Sentosa!

First thing Si Rui and I did when we reached there - buy Skyline and Luge tickets!

It was $20 for a package of 3 rounds of skyline and luge each. It was my first time trying this activity. I have a fear of heights, so I ended up squeezing Si Rui's hand on the skyline. It was pretty high up, but it was a short "ride", and there wasn't really any scenic view of Sentosa, just trees and more trees. The luge was a go-cart action ride, and it was much better than the skyline. And Si Rui's cart kept screeching on the last round. 

We then headed to Siloso beach for our picnic. We were lucky that it didn't rain, the weather was a little warm, but breezy too - that's cos' we found shade under the palm trees. 

Aw my mum specially woke up to help me with the grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. ♥

Okay, it looks pathetic but we were full!

We just sat on the picnic mat, and talked a bit, ate, and dipped our feet in the cool water. Ah, the simple pleasures of life. :-)

And I woke up at 5:10 A.M. today for Project Happy Feet. It's a non-profit organisation which helps underprivileged students in Singapore, Cambodia etc. :-) Best way to start off the day - I was late for almost half an hour! Actually I wouldn't be if I hadn't overslept on the bus. Missed around 6-7 bus-stops (I have never been so careless) and waited for the bus to go to school. A few more people were late, including Si Rui. Phew, Mr Ho was still there. 

On the way to East Coast Park. 

Happy Feet participant 7752

We had to pay $35 to participate and wear slippers for this "race" and walk 4 km to understand how it's like to walk a long distance without proper footwear everyday to school. It was like literally walking in their shoes. And I'm glad that we participated because I'm sure the needy people really do benefit from this organisation. :-)

Beautiful scenery while we were walking.

Many people turned up for this event. And they gave free helium balloons! Yay

Tied the string to Boy's arm, he looks so cute. He kept staring at the balloon lol.

Tried the new KFC rice. It was just pieces of deep-fried chicken with rice and mushroom sauce. But it was tasty. :-D I guess that's all for now. And I wanna share with you this super nice snack (my vocab sucks) which I'm in love with.

It's a crunchy almond snack - Nougat from Australia

I've also been watching all of X Factor's episodes and I was really disappointed with the judges' decisions. I thought Diamond White should have stayed, and David Correy would be a possible winner but LA sent him home. To make things worse, Demi changed the young adults' styles so much. I was really upset with Jennel Garcia's new look and song choice. I miss her curly hair, and her hair flipping and being confident and so appealing on stage. Where did that go? And Paige Thomas looked absolutely ridiculous with the spiked hairpiece. It looked like a sea urchin to me hahaha - such a distraction. Why is Demi focusing so much on their appearances when it's the true talent that counts? I think Simon Cowell is the best judge and mentor because of his many years of experience while Demi just got popular recently and she is only 20! I know age doesn't matter but she doesn't seem professional. The way she flirts with Emblem 3, lol. Why can't people see that they appear cocky and the fact that they talked bad about another contestant during the auditions really bothers me. Unsatisfied with X factor.

Okay, I'm done with my rant. Goodbye.
