*117 - west to east

3rd July (Youth day holiday on Monday) - Justin & I intended to go to West Coast to rollerblade/cycle.

What really happened in the end was that Justin & his siblings & I were sent there by his daddy, went to play in the giant playground for a few hours, met his parents for lunch, couldn't find anywhere to rent rollerblades from, were driven all the way from West Coast to East Coast, rented rollerblades, rollerbladed (with his daddy too!) and were sent home after that.

Really really fun. (:



We climbed to the top of the big ropey dome thingy, and it was kind of scary but somehow pleasantly so, just sitting there feeling the breeze, getting cooked by the hot hot sun, watching little kids climb up and down fearlessly and wondering what a big oaf like me was doing up there.

There were lots of obstacle-course-like things to play with, haha, and there's Christine sitting in a giant rope ball, and us jumping on a bouncy wooden platform.

And wow, I actually had a ride on those suspended rubber seat things that you hop on to and zoom from one end to another (something like a sitting down version of a flying fox, I'm not sure what it's called)! I got stuck halfway though so Christine had to drag me to the end by my feet (last picture). Reliving the childhood days, which were terrifically fun, and it was terrifically fun as well (:



Me, Justin and Joshua in the top 2 photos playing with random playground things.

Then we went to East Coast! Rented rollerblades and I rollerbladed for the first time in 5 years I think! It took me a while to get the hang of it but then I got better and now I can sort of rollerblade backwards wah so pro! :D Hahaha. But I still can't stop properly, or do anything cooler than that. Now I have the urge to go rollerblading again or iceskating some time soon, somebody please volunteer go with me (:

Last photo: Justin and I in the car, discovering that Slurpees turn your tongue blue/green! I didn't know. Ew.


I got terribly sunburnt (as mentioned) but I think slathering myself with moisturiser the moment I got home prevented peeling! Yay. (: Such a nice kiddy day! If you ever feel like being a kid again, go to West Coast's playground, it's the hugest I've ever seen. Kiddy kiddy kiddy, I like (:


No school for me tomorrow (: (: (: , because I have a dental appointment, and if I go to school it'll only be for PE and break. (I'll actually be missing the 2 lectures.) I whined to Ms Lim about it and she agreed to let me off (: Whee! She's getting so much nicer (: She even gives us goodies to eat sometimes. To think we used to abhor her last year! Marriage does wonders. Hehe (:
