Ben and Jerry Chuck Fest at Marina Barrage

After tennis lesson, off I went to meet up with Trixy and her sister n friends at Marina Barrage~
We took the shuttle bust at the bus stop outside Marina Bay. Luckily it was only a short while to wait for the bus to arrive under the hot sun.

We bought and share the 6 scoops of ice-creams with Trixy's sis and her friend. As it was already melting FAST, I didn't manage to take photos of our ice-creams. After a while, I couldn't differentiate the taste too when the ice-cream becomes watery. Hahaa..

:: Not a very clear shot of The Singapore Flyer as the skies was foggy::

Some of them even brought their own food for picnic and sitting on the grass, enjoying the breeze and music of the concert. While some others are flying kites. It was kinda enjoying and relaxing to sit back and watched the kites fly high UP up n away in the sky.

:: The kites look so tiny in the skies ::

:: Yeah! We found a mat and quickly hurried over ^^ ::

::Funny faces again ::

I wonder where they bought their kites from. Saw many of them flying it! Wish I can join them. But I was feeling lazy and feeling tired from the tennis session, so I just stoned there. I can ALMOST sleep if i really closed my eyes and "sleep" on the mat.

::Colorful fountain lights brighten the night::

Quite a fun experience hanging out at Marina Barrage! I guess I wont purposely come here next time if there's no event as it was located in such a ulu place. Keke...

Sunny Saturday

:: John coaching Val ::

Yesterday morning, I wake up super early, which i seldom did. Quite rare too.

Anyway, it was my first lesson for tennis and I was looking forward to it!

John, my study buddy cum "xiao di" was our tennis coach and provided us the rackets and the tennis balls. Woo... cool hur? I was quite surprised to hear his experience in tennis. He actually played tennis for 14 years since he was primary 5!

He was very patient teaching us the basics techniques like how to hold the rackets properly and how to serve the ball over to the other side of the net. According to him, he told us that normally, it will normally takes 4-5 months for amateurs players to start their first game properly( Duhz.. so long!) It was interesting to hear that his coach made him practise bonucing the tennis ball at the "sweet spot" of the racket for a month before he was taught the basic stuff.

We were practising for 3 hours under the hot sun and sweat profusely. As usual, my face got much more redder than others easily. After the whole lesson, I realise my 2 arms got sunburnt too. Uneven tones! Next time must remember to apply sunblock on my body as well le!
