heh
booked for a session of archery
40 arrows for 3 of us
$9 for 20 arrows
and massage at nite
went to the beach
really nice
had fried bee hoon for lunch
went for archery
th instructor was nice
motivated us by giving us additional arrows
if we hit the yellow and red portion of the target board
after 50+ arrows
we went to help retrieve them
and told him since we helped
we deserve another session
and he agreed!
haha
after another 40+ arrows
we threw in the white flag
headed back to the villa
was having pretty bad tension headache
took a short nap b4 the BBQ
woke up with a still-throbbing head
missed the sunset dat we wanted to watch
took a painkiller and an anti-swelling med after the BBQ
showered ourselves clean before heading for our massage
me and soo hoon chose javanese massage
xiang ru took the french aromatherapy massage
$83 each
really worth the money
my headache was gone after dat
went star-gazing at the beach
fell asleep under a blanket of stars
.
s.u.n.d.a.y.
missed the sunrise
we set the alarm at 7am
which means 6am bintan time
the sun was aredi up by that time
next time i'll stay up all nite
and see wat time the sun rises
had bread and egg for breakfast
went to the beach again
the buggy seemed especially charged up
forgetting that the sand is wet from the morning rain
i brought the buggy all the way onto the beach
the buggy behind us followed
and it got terribly stuck
we reversed ours back
and it got stuck too
tried to get it out but the situation got worse
had no choice but to seek help
took a long time to get the buggies out
had laksa for lunch
packed our bags
and left the place wif much reluctance
.
wouldn't say that i enjoyed myself fully
considering the fact that i couldn't enjoy seasports
yep, my period came on thurs morn
made me so miserable
the bintan trip was the only thing that kept me alive
ok, i'm exaggerating
but it was sumthing along that line lah
haha
.
enjoyed myself during the trip
but i wouldn't say that it helped in mending anything
in fact, it triggered my crying stint on thurs nite
was packing my bag for the trip
when i broke down again
had this urge to back out on the trip
called jingyi
managed to finally turn off my "tap"
she said it'll take me half the time of the length of the relationship
to forget / get over the relationship
not sure if there's any scientific research backing it
or is it just an arbitrary way of comforting pple
saying that time will help heal
sometimes i feel that "time heals all wounds" is bullshit too
u have to do it urself rite
time is just...there
it doesn't stop
nor does it go faster
but watever it is
she said the point is
do i want to forget about it
.
i don't know
right now
i juz wanna indulge in myself
let myself go
and do watever i feel like doing
i'm not expecting anything
i do not habour any hopes
i'm not wishing for anything nice
i'm just letting things be
.
come wat may
