We had a nice night out at Sentosa near the beaches call Camp Laguna after our 3h briefing about SIP. So thrilled I got to go SGH Pharmacy…..wahhahaha….its just opposite my house plus I get to have free lunches courtesy of mom which means…..free transport and free food!!! And money rolling in some more at S$420. Ok back to the trip, right after our briefing we travelled to Im Seah Food Centre to have our lunch. I had chicken rice set and after tasting the food. I found the sauce bit sweet but still tasty. I still prefer the chicken rice in Far East Plaza. How I love the special black sauce they serve. We board the bus to Sentosa and on our way to Camp Laguna using monorail. It was travelling at micro speed even the snail can beat it. Finally after all the bumps we reached the camp head office to find nobody around even though its past lunch hour. One of us had to call the staff to come. Such slow service. Then we chose a nice spot of concrete floor to pitch an 8-men tent next to a shelter. None of us had been a scout or girl guide so we took some time figuring out how to stabilize the tent with the support poles that are given to us. We work as a team to fix the tent plus laid the final ground sheet inside in less than 30 mins. We went to take a short stroll to the most southern part of the island which is a small island with 2 viewing platforms. We spend another hour or so waiting for Leslie to come and join us and we head for Underwater World. We didn’t go in as isn’t worth it when Dolphin Lagoon is closing since entrance fee comes with viewing the pink dolphins in Dolphin Lagoon too. Then we had a early dinner at Trapizza. Wheee….We ordered three pizzas, 1 seafood and salmon, 1 ham and mushrooms and 1 ham with bacon pizza. The pizzas were paper thin and crispy unlike the tough crust from Pizza Hut. The seafood pizza had a pungent salmon smell but still edible. I prefer the other pizzas which are quite tasty especially the pork. After a satisfiying meal, we went to watch the musical fountain display which is the same 1 as the last time I went. After that we went back to camp and rest plus shower. We played some cards for about an hour and grew bored. Listen to some stories and gossip and finally its 1am. Some went to sleep despite the mosquito infested and hot conditions in the tent. Luckily Linda brought a mini fan to help ease the unpleasant conditions. I laid a mat on the concrete floor outside the tent and lie down playing my gameboy advance sp and falling asleep for a while and feeding mosquitoes. I woke up at around 4am and join the others who haven slept at the beach. SJ and JH were eating bowl noodles and the other 2 guys dozing off. I also lay down on the beach chair and got comfortable and slept till around 7am. We checked out at 10+ am and have breakfast before heading home. Even though we didn’t do a lot of things, it was a different experience and we get to hear some gossip.
