Day One of leave

was spent on Tanjong Beach.

(yeah so it's not a spectacular beach and the water's damn suspect but heck what other beach does singapore have anyway?)

Met ying at Carrefour where we picked up some various munchies for the great sentosa do-nothing day.

got some bread, cheese, dip, corn chips, oj, baby carrots. plenty for a good meal and more.

the only disappointment was the weather. where was the sun? hiding beneath the clouds it seemed...popping out (barely) once in a while.

but despite the weather, it was a great time, mostly because there were few others around on a tuesday at sentosa.

sure there were some kids, but they seemed to head towards siloso beach so tanjong was nice and quiet.

great to lie back and read a book (William Trevor's The Story Of Lucy Gault), swim a little in the murky water, build a sandcastle with a moat, play some frisbee and snooze.

hung out for about 5 1/2 hours, before taking a quick shower and then grabbing a beer at km8.

then it was off to harbourfront for some pizza. at spizza. where the service was slow and the food decent.

and now i'm just a little tired. it's amazing how doing nothing the whole day can tire you out. :P

n now what to do tomorrow?
