Council Outing

Just two days after my class outing to Sentosa, I found myself at HarbourFront MRT Station again about to meet some other Councillors for another outing to Sentosa. This time I was the first to arrive; the rest came close to the meeting time of 10am. We met Kegan at the bus terminal, and the 12 of us took the Sentosa Bus to Sentosa.

After going through the ticket barrier, we took the Monorail to Palawan Beach which was east of Siloso Beach. Stepping onto the sand of the beach, we settled down at a bench and immediately took out Kegan's beach ball to play volleyball at a court near us. After some time playing, some of the guys took a break and played cards.

After a while, all of us stopped our game and moved on to play in the water. There was an area bounded by buoys which I supposed was a safe zone to swim in as I saw Kegan and Edwin walk to the end and have the water level at the waist. (It was low tide.) With that confirmation, I walked right into the water, not caring that it is seawater. One by one the others came in too. All of us headed to the small water slide on the border of the safe zone and most of us slid off it.

After lots of fun in the water, we got onshore, washed off the seawater and bought lunch from the nearby 7-Eleven. After that meal, we used the beach ball to play volleyball again. During the game, Shao Ming joined us after SJAB in school in the morning. After the game, we got into the water again. This time it was high tide, but I still swam to the water slide (something my parents will be very much against). We then played captain's ball in the water with the Sec 4s as one team and the Sec 3s as another. It was a difficult game and the Sec 3s won. After the game, some of the Sec 3s went onshore while the others remained in the water to chat about the happenings around school.

At 5 plus, we finally went to bathe. After the bath, we were about to return to mainland and have dinner when the girls decided to go to the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia which was just close by, so some of the guys played soccer while three EXCO members and I played daidee. By the time the girls came back, it was almost 7pm. We took the Monorail back to the Visitor Arrival Centre and took the bus back to HarbourFront where we had dinner at the Seah Im Food Centre. After dinner, Kegan headed in the direction of the bus interchange while the rest took the MRT back home talking about past horrifying experiences with going to the loo and going home in the dead of the night.
