GB Family's Brokeback Mountain Session @ Sentosa!!

Has it really been that long since the GB Family got together & went out for a group outing?? Crikey...

This time, the guys planned our outing instead of the usual the-girls-do-the-plannning-'cuz-they're-girls stuff. Seriously, let me tell you guys, you guys were this close to turning it into a catastophe. Okay?? But nonetheless, we enjoyed ourselves tremendously even though we couldn't stay till the end because a certain Blome had to be home before 10pm, else she'll be turned into a pumpkin.

Without getting into details, Kity was the last one to arrive at Harbourfront MRT station because he was coming off from work while I, made the rest wait nearly two hours before my arrival. Well, hello?? I've got a morning religious class to attend, what!! Plus, I made extra sandwiches; both Egg Mayonaise AND Chilli Tuna. So, don't complain.

Even though Kity brought with him $15 worth of Delifrance vouchers for us to purchase goodies, they weren't acceptable because the outlet in Sentosa wasn't a mainland outlet. Which brought me to pipe out sarcastically, so Sentosa is not part of Singapore, lahh?? Pooh.

Still, Punani made use of the time we were standing there to buy himself a tall Vanilla Frappe, which of course, he shared with us all. Like duhh, it is a given that Punani shares whatever he has in his hands with us; and likewise, vice versa to everyone else.

Kity's inital plan was to actually try out that new ride introduced by Sentosa at Imbiah Falls. And the prick resolutely refused to step into the water, claiming that the beach was a boring place to spend the afternoon. Like, what the heck, right?? How can one not immerse one's self in the sparkling albeit polluted & salty waters of Siloso Beach when in Sentosa?? Weird guy.

So, it was either dunk yourself or get dunked. Chippy loaned Kity his extra pair of bod shorts & after donning on an extra T-shirt Kity had from work, we finally persuaded him to go into the water with us.

After picking a spot, Kity claimed he was getting hungry & volunteered to be the first to dig in. A bite of one of my Egg Mayo sandwiches was enough to send him to heaven. Gushing on & on about how delicious they were prompted Chippy to help himself as well. And we all knew that once Chippy starting stuffing himself, there was no stopping him.

And even after ten minutes well in the water, Chippy still refused to come down; instead chosing to lie on the sand to digest the amount of sandwiches he'd consumed. Although he did cite that there were a couple of Ah Bengs who wanted our spot & he was therefore acting on guard.

Chippy was belatedly coerced to come into the water by Penese it was then that the group was complete. It had been a year since we all came here as a group & even then, there was twice the number of people we had the year before compared to now. Somehow along the course of one year, the ones whom we thought would stay, went. And the ones whom we thought would go, stayed. A little sad really, but there you have it.

Although I do have an opinion on the fact that it's all by the act of will whether you choose to stay or go OR that it is an inevitable thing. Nobody, I repeat, NOBODY, forced any of you who left into leaving. Some of you, with your attitude & behaviour, it isn't a wonder why we didn't kick you out in the first place. And some of you, seriously. You're like monkeys led on by ropes; you follow your so-called 'leader' & listen to whatever they babble into your ears without even hearing the other side of the story. And then, what?? Claim that we're all too political for you.

Bullshit lahh, you people!!

Clearly, some idiot has been feeding you rubbish so that you wouldn't make time to hang out with us. It's not a question of whether or not you CAN; but whether or not you WANT. So, after listening to all that shit being given to you, you make up your mind that we're not your kind of people. AFTER HANGING OUT WITH US FOR MORE THAN A YEAR & THIS IS HOW IT BECOMES!!!!

Okay, fine lahh. If this is the path you chose, who are we to stop you?? If that is what you want to believe, who are we to hamper you from doing so??

Anywayz, I am way off track; don't mind my ramblings. It's just my way of expressing my feelings, apart from screeching at those whom are my victims or those otherwise.

So, reeling back to Sentosa, we basked under the rays of the sun as Kity pretended to be a White Shark, minus the Great. Chippy had already been deemed Hippo & for me, being labelled Dugong was already a given. According to Penese & Blome, it was only in the water that I was graceful. Although unlike the normally docile Dugong, I bit -or rather in this case, kicked- when provoked. Chippy bore the brunt of them while Kity received a few & Punani was too far into the water. It is ill-advised for a short Dugong to wander too deep in case she drowned despite being a certified swimming just because her feet could'nt reach the floor.

But I did nearly fall on Punani as I got hit by a big wave, catching myself just in time.

And that was only in the first half, ladies & gentlemen!!

We had lunch about half an hour or so later, consuming most of the sandwiches I had brought with me as well as those brought by Penese.

This time Chippy was the first one to hit the water before all of us were done with lunch. Ya lahh, somebody so full already, what!! No wonder he didn't eat so much during the meal.

Anywayz, the second part of our residence in the water was to be concluded with some mildly dramatic antics because someone almost drowned. Yeah, ALMOST drowned.

At a certain smart aleck's suggestion -a certain Hippo, that is- Blome was to hold on to his shoulders while he hung on to Kity's & I was to clutch Blome's. All we had to do was to swim backwards, like a couple of ducks strung on a chain, so to speak. But it all backfired when suddenly the navigations were wrong, we drifted a little more out to sea & Blome panicked like a lunatic. Chippy & Kity had already broken free of the so-called chain which left Blome clinging on to me instead of the other way around.

So, of course I didn't let go of Blome. I couldn't!! Due to the simple fact that this girl was swim-illiterate. So, the more we drifted out to see, the more she became agitated & started thrashing around until she nearly disappeared underwater. As I dove down to push her up to the surface, she flailing legs delivered a swift kick to my gut & for a moment, I nearly passed out myself. And not only were her legs on overdrive, she had an arm around my neck & was squeezing the life out of me & for a few times, I went under.

Punani -the idiot- was the nearest & apparently thought all was under control until I shouted at him to help if not me, HER. And it was only then that he extended his hand & pulled us to him, steering us to shore. Like, whoaaa. Close call there. Little did I know Blome would react so violently to whatever had happened a few minutes ago. Jeez...

And what were the other three doing?? God knew!! I was busy trying to keep Blome from sinking below, it befuddles me why nobody came to assist. Bah!!

Since the weather was unpredictable these days, our beach fun was put to an end shortly after an announcent that lightning had been spotted. So, gathering all our things, we headed towards the restrooms where, oh my God!! The bloody queue!! I think it took us nearly an hour before it was our turn to use the cubicles & even then, the three of us had to share ONE cubicle just to cut down the time.

Of course, we knew while awaiting our turn that the guys would be sure to finish way before us, dirty things that they were. But hey, it wasn't as if we were soaking ourselves in a hot tub there. And even as we showered, the rain poured down heavily against the toilet walls.

And when we came out, Kity still had the audacity to almost shout at Penese just because of our delay. Tut tut; so naughty!! Kity, Kity. If that was any way to talk to a girl, then too bad for you. You won't be getting a girlfriend anytime soon. And even if you already have a girlfriend & you talked that way to her, she would leave you in a heartbeat. Absolutely no respect for the fairer gender.

Believe it, that was the thing that overshadowed the day's festivities. Nope, not the rain. But rather, Kity's rash words. Although everybody made sure it didn't stand in our way of having fun. Because the day wasn't just going to end there. We were supposed to head up to Bugis for a jamming session at a studio that the guys had booked for a discounted price. Usually, their jamming sessions would be held at their usual place, Lee Kwong Seng, in Yishun. But after receiving a few vouchers, they decided to give the studio a try.

We were almost 30 minutes later than the proposed time as we met up with Amir & Keeran in Bugis. The studio was almost twice the size of the one at Lee Kwong Seng; big enough for even the three of us girls to lie down. But, of course lahh we didn't; we just sat around on the stools available & responded when requested to take videos of them jamming.

I shall refrain from commenting on how their jamming was; you jammers know yourselves lahh, right. There isn't a need for any of us to say it out for you.

Overall, the day was not bad. So-so, since the guys planned it & it nearly became a flop. But it was otherwise a memorable GB Family day. One which I reckon, wouldn't happen so often now that Punani is soon embarking on his trip to Europe where he will spend two solid months as a vagabond of sorts. Chippy is still stinging from the fact that he can't go due to financial restraints. Just hope that Punani brings back something 'special' for Chippy, ehh.

Laterz...
