Sunday's Outing
Was supposed to go to Sentosa on Sunday with Robert, Enrica, Bobby & Belle. But sky was really dark & even the weather forecast said to expect thunder storm in the south. Sianz. Smsed Enrica & they decided to stay home. I told Jon & Sam to wait till noon to see if the weather improves. Jon suggested a movie should it rain. But by 11+ am, the sun was out, though still cloudy.
So how did a direction idiot like me got around? Jeff taught me how to get to Sam's place the day before & Sam knows the way to Jon's place. Jon said that he knows the way to Sentosa. Jeff & I picked up Sam on the way to work. (Jeff's working) I took over the driving & went to West Coast to pick Jon up. We headed to the Sheng Siong nearby & as there were no parking lots, I stayed in the van with Ton Ton. I had the van stopped in front of the motorcycles parked there.
After some time, feeling bored, I tried to lay a cushion over the driver's seat. As it was kinda cramp (blur me didn't think of pulling the seat further back), I had to lean against the steering wheel. I jumped when the horn sounded but continued with my task. Then I realised the car in front of me was moving away & I thought there was a lot. That was when I noticed a BMW trying to come out of the lot on my right & the female driver was glaring at me! So the horn must be from her lah. Felt really pissed off. What's there to glare? I honestly didn't see her what! Anyway, I reversed the van to let her out.
I finally found a lot & we went for lunch, tying Ton Ton to a nearby pillar coz the coffee shop had a big poster saying, "No dogs allowed." :P We went to a nearby pet shop just to have a look. They were selling 2 huskies, a goldie, a shih tzu & some other breeds. We finally set off at 2.30 pm.
Jon told me to go by West Coast Highway. But he wasn't quite sure where to exit & we ended up travelling towards Suntec! He then told me that East Coast is much nearer, so I continued to East Coast with Jon's directions. We were very lucky to get a lot near the newly opened Burger King.
It was a lazy day. We set our things on a mat & just sat around, snacking & drinking. (I drank tea while they had vodka. :S) We still couldn't get Ton Ton to go fully into the water. He dashed far far away from the shoreline after his legs & chest got drenched. It was a half hearted attempt anyway coz we didn't want to get wet. He got his share of enjoyment I guess, sniffing every single dog that walked past.
6+ pm. We walked to where people were water skiing past the seafood restaurants. A machanism pulls the people round & round on a "lake". I don't know what else to call it. It was a long long walk back to the van but somehow felt shorter than the way there. Probably becoz we were busy chatting.
I got home around 9+ pm after dropping the guys off. I only had time to drop Ton Ton at home before rushing out to fetch Jeff back. But that wasn't the end of the day coz Ton Ton had not been showered! OMG! I finally finished the task, showered myself & dropped dead into my bed. So did Ton Ton by the way. He didn't even ask for his afternoon snack the next day (Monday). He completed his recharging only in the evening. Diao...
