High Noon.
(If you play Overwatch you'd get the joke, but to be honest I don't play Overwatch I just find the line hilarious.)
How's it been cracking, lads? Since the last that I've updated this blog space (almost a month back) I would say I've done a fair amount of fun things within this month. I finally had my beach day where I hiked up to Sentosa to join some friends who had booked a hotel there, and walked around on the sand basically freaking out every now and then at how funny it felt between my toes. It was a child-like fascination to what some people will find is very normal. I also went into the ocean, which was a first! Seaweed, or kelp, or whatever the hell grows just below the surface, is about the damn scariest thing I've ever felt against my legs. Also waves- I'm super scared of being carried away by them but it was a ton of fun wading around in something that is only slightly more salty than I am! Also I witnessed my two friends break down that Pizza couldn't be delivered to Sentosa. They really wanted Pizza.
I've spent the most of this holiday actually spending time with friends, meeting some new ones, and then spent a full week on cruise. Now this sounds like a really relaxing thing to have done, right? Sun, sea, food all day every day, potentially good looking guys or gals tanning it up in their best beach attire, alcohol which is marginally cheaper, and then rest and relaxing or going down to land when we dock to go explore the country for a day right? Sounds excellent!
Except it was anything but that.
Now don't get me wrong I infinitely appreciate my grandmother having brought me on this trip because I did get time to just read a book on top deck, tan out to a delicious caramel tone and drink a copious amount of cocktails on a daily basis- but it was bloody stressful too. Why, you ask? Imagine travelling with your extended grand-generation and their friends. Yes, the average age of the travel group was 67. And that's after adding in my 20 years of age. I wouldn't call it hell on high water for sure, but it had it's moments where I was swearing from the moment I got up at 7am in the morning because my grandmother insisted on this hellish wakening time.
I think I nearly cried when I saw my parents after flying back from Hong Kong.
I actually did have the whale of a time basically doing random things like winning a karaoke competition while on cruise and if you've been around Facebook, I've actually been singing a lot more often than I used to and- well I've been putting it out there that I can because constructive criticism is always greatly appreciated- I have honestly no idea how good/bad I sound because I always think I sound weird.
That aside, I feel like I've made significant progress with my parents about travelling with friends or travelling solo- sometime next week I'm hoping I can get a daytrip/ one night trip up to JB because there seems to be a lot to do up there! And I'm looking forward to it. I'm also hoping to perhaps make a solo trip up to somewhere like London again- perhaps as a pipeline plan. And perhaps when I'm up there I'd just hop up to France or something like that, it should be fun. For now though, my focus remains on clearing the competition this weekend and going past my personal best for archery score simply because my form has been the absolute pits, and I have no consistency.
Hopefully I find the motivation I need to sort myself out soon and keep my body like some kind of machine, but I honestly have no idea how to do that. At least I now am sporting the arm guard tan after outdoor training today! It's been a while since we've trained in the sun, because the competition is indoors. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing some of the archer's I've made friends with, though!
I was going to end this post when I suddenly remembered why I even started it.
I passed my driving test.
And therefore I have met a new milestone in life- also beware the madwoman on the roads.
