Bonfire at the Beach

Went to Dockweiler Beach last Saturday with my Church members for a bonfire!

Totally awesome. After being in California for 5 months I finally went to a beach. ^_^ *Bounces around happily*

Me and Hana carpooled with some dude names Lucien and some ah mah, I mean, an elderly woman, to the beach since we don't know the way. I thought they'd be more people carpooling with us. Turns out it's just me, Hana and those two guys. Good also lah, more room for us!

It takes like, I dunno, an hour to get there? Maybe I'm exaggerating. But still it was a long journey. Since there's only gonna be old people to entertain me hor, I decided to listen to my music but Hannah said, "Cannot. So no respect for people." Fine, I knew that so I didn't do it. And then, just in like 5 minutes Hannah whipped out her cellphone and was blasting her music through her earphones. I wonder what happened to respecting people? Then again, it was so boring so we decided to ignore them and listen to our thing.

Horrors of all horrors, they began blasting their Opera music on the speakers. Soon enough I could hear "OOOOOOOOHHHHH" and "AAAAAAAAHHHHH" after every line of my song!
E.g. :
(Nikelback - Far Away)
So far away - OOOOOHHHHH
So far away, AHHHHHHHHHHHH
So far away AHHHHHHH for far too long OOOOHHHH



So anyway, long story short. Decided to take pictures instead.

On the way to the beach.

I saw this cool thing on the freeway! It's like those Hotwheels tracks that we used to see on the TV commercials. I used to think the Kuching Airport flyover was really cool until I saw this. It's like many, many times higher than Kuching's one, can? It's like a flyover atop another.

And finally, the beach! It's really, really beautiful. Unlike Kuching's small and cute little beaches, the sandy shores stretches for miles! Meh, I'm lazy to edit the pic so I stole this from Hana's blog. XD

There are gulls on the seashore! Cool'not?

Yealar, bird nia, so what? So, cool lar! I never see birds on the beaches in Kuching. Maybe because nobody go picnicking on the beaches in Santubong or Damai. And so, the birds starve to death at the expense of our stinginess and laziness in preparing a decent picnic meal other than the Kolomee we buy at some hawker stall on the way to the beach. As a result, they tell their grandkids to fly far, far out and ended up here in Dockweiler beach.

See the yellow car? It's a lifeguard's car! Yes, the beach is so wide that they need a car to patrol for drowning people and sharks. Yes, there's sharks in the water.




No, I'm lying. There isn't any. =( Just trying to make the beach sound cooler than it is.

Lucien, our driver, offered us this sweet looking candy. How nice of him - if it actually IS candy. I had no idea what it was I and still don't. It tastes like freaking plastic. Like straws melted in boiling syrup to make it sweet but failed miserably and taste like chemicals instead. I've learned that all those supposedly "yummy" American junk food are NOT yummy at all. Except Doritos. If you're wondering about the fake sunnies, Hana told me to draw it in. Her eyes cacat when this pic was taken. XD

Crazy Hana ate it all up. As for me, I refuse to be tricked into eating straws~! And so,

Wahahaha, I threw it away. I hope Lucien didn't see me do that. K, on to the bonfire...

Me fishing to catch a big fire

Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you the new sport the Americans do! Don't like fishing? Don't like worms as bait? Can't stand to see a good tuna fish wasted as fish bait? Don't like the water? Then this new sport is just for you! Hot-Dogging! Yes, ladies and gentleman, it's hot-dogging, the new alternative to fishing! No more seasickness, no more being thrown overboard, no more sinking boats, no more sharks chewing you to pieces! Come come come, hurry and get your own set of dogging rod for ONLY $9.99! Call now at 1-800-HOT-DOGS while stocks last.*Terms and conditions apply. Hot dogs & sexy babe not included* XD

I should write a book called, Young Girl and the Bonfire. ;-)

I don't know why the organizer came up with this fishing rod thing for a barbecue. I found out later from him that it was a clothes line with some wire attached to it. Dinner that night was burnt hot dogs. Man, the fire was SO HOT okay! And you can't even rotate your hot dog to get it all cooked, it just dangles on that smelly wire. Lame.

Me eating smores! (With a stupid look on my face) Was going for the"Wow, I've never tasted anything like this before!" look but succeeded in the "I so sakai now please don't take my photo now" look instead. HANA! BAD PHOTOGRAPHER! Anyway, I finally had smores! It's sweet. That white thing next to my face is NOT S**T, k? It's the leftover marshmallow that won't come off the wire. Making smores is messy. Eating smores is messier. Don't eat smores in front of your gf/bf. So un-glam can. He/she will run away from you the next day.

K, showing you a better pic of me now. In hopes you'll forget how ugly I look up there.

Tada~ ^_^

Honestly, I wasn't too impressed with the organizing team. Everything was so mixed up. Maybe I'm just too skeptical cuz I've organized a bunch of events before and thus, is not satisfied with such a, um, "laid-back" and "I look at you and you look at me" event. But it's fun...for normal, old people I guess. XD

Still, I'm happy.
