~ My Camping Trip... Part 1... ~
5:03:00 pm
Wow... It's been almost a week since I last blogged... Been going out too much... *
Haha*...
Anyway, I went camping with my other family members at East Coast Park (Area B) on Christmas Day, which falls on Saturday... We set out from home at 2pm, fetched my aunts and cousins since there was a transport and reached East Coast near to Big Splash at about 3 plus in afternoon... Boy, there were so many other people and it was hard to find a spot to pitch up the tent... So we sat there by the shelter, putting the items on the mat and having sandwiches and snacks... While my cousins went into the water, I stood there by the beach, looking at them playing in the sea... Gosh, I almost got pushed into the water by 3 of my younger cousins,
Kak Ngah,
Ayuni and
Shida... What's more, my hp was strapped around my neck using the neck-chain... Thank goodness I stopped them in them... *
But it would really be a good excuse for me to buy a new hp!! Haha*... Anyway, I changed into my swimming suit since I was in t-shirt and track pants... When I came back from the toilet,
Kakak told me to get the beach ball and I was shocked to see the ball far in the middle of the sea...
Aisha and
Shida was already upset so in the end, I got them to join me in the water... *
Kids are easy to please... Haha*... Didn't stay long though since I know that I would get dark easily and the sun was shining brightly... *
Vain*... Anyway, there were lots of stones under the water and as a result, I've got a few cuts on my two feet... Instead, I was 'taking care' of
Adli and
Shida since I was the elder one who were with them in the water...
While my cousins and I were in the sea,
Kakak,
Abang and
Bibi Rozana helped to pitch up the tents... I only came up to help to pitch the last tent... *
Hehe*... After which, I went to the toilet to bathe cuz I was feeling uncomfortable... In the end, I 'ditched' my cousins half way through a game to join
Ayah and
Kak Long to cycle to 7-eleven... *
Haha... So bad right?*... Anyway, I couldn't cycle but the bike I shared with
Kak Long was a two-seated one so she was basically controlling the bike and I was just helping her to cycle... By the time we came back,
Bibi Tati and
Bibi Dini's family have already reached with both tents already pitched... By then, I was already 'psycho'-ing
Des, my other older cousin, to rent a bike overnight with me... Although I couldn't cycle yet then, I was determine to rent a single bike... Luckily, I wasn't over-ambitious cuz I could cycle in the end
... Ended up paying $15 which is cheap for overnight...
After having dinner,
Kakak and I walked to 7-eleven with the rest of my cousins,
Kak Ngah,
Ayuni,
Shasha,
Aisha,
Shida and
Adli... It was really a LONG walk so I told them that if any of them complaint of being tired, I would not treat them to anything... *
Haha*... I could see that even though all of them were tired, neither of them said anything about being tired... Bought for them drinks, ice-cream and snacks since I've got my pay... In the end,
Des,
Kak Long and
Alishah cycled to 7-eleven to meet up with us... And me, being the 'bad' one, asked
Kak Long to let me have the bicycle... 'Ditched' them again... *
Haha*... When we reached the tents,
Bibi Netty and her husband, and
Bibi Sarimah were already there...
At about 9pm,
Des,
Kak Long and I went cycling... Both me and
Kak Long ended up 'psycho'-ing
Des into cycling to Bedok Jetty with us... It was REALLY far since we were at the other end of East Coast... And I was the slower one in cycling since it was still 'new' to me... At one point, after the Costa Sands Resort, my bike went to the small drain... I was lucky I didn't fall but the group of youngsters at the chalet were practically laughing at me... Luckily, my back was facing them so at least, they couldn't see my face... Ended up reaching Bedok Jetty at about 10 plus... *
There were lots of stopping cuz of me... 
I was messaging a friend throughout the journey*... The trip back was a more smoother one since both my mum and
Bibi Tati were calling us relentlessly... But again at one point, I 'rammed' straight into the bushes... *
Sigh*... Also on our way back, there were a few bikini-clad dancers in a pub, dancing to 'Me Against My Music'... All 3 of us slowed down to take a peek... *
Haha*... Finally reached the tents at about 11.30pm, with both our butts and legs in pain
