I went to Sentosa for a swim and sun-tan this afternoon, despite the pessimistic weather forecast for today. Having woken up late and gone to pick Laibao up only at 1pm, we did not have an enormous portion of time to spend there. However, the 2 hours of splashing around in the sea was just good enough. After having enough of the sea, we bathed, went back to the car to deposit some of our bulkier belongings, then to Movenpick for ice-cream. As usual, I went for the double-scoop, Caramelita + Swiss Chocolate flavor.

In my opinion, a visit to Palawan Beach can never end without a visit to the Twin Huts, so we made our way there and spent a fair amount of time there viewing the scenery, as well as did a little exploration on a certain part of the islet we've never been to. We headed home soon after that, only to meet out at Bedok Central again an hour for dinner, as Laibao wanted to bring some of his stuff home first and I did not feel like driving my car out after that. We had Long John Silver and loitered around NTUC Fairprice, then I went home while Laibao went elsewhere to meet his friend.

Deciding to do something constructive for a Sat night, I started on learning Thai writing, and for tonight, I've managed to learn 9 consonants, 7 vowels and 4 tone marks. By definition, the Thai alphabet system has 44 consonants and 32 vowels, which means I've got ((44 - 9) + (32 - 7)) = 60 more alphabets to learn! Well, at least I've managed to make a start, though.
