today, i went to the Volvo Ocean Race as a scout and the race village was so much emptier than expected!! i think its because today was reserved for scouts only. i saw tons and tons of scouts plus there were no other tourists or locals there...
sadly, my darling couldnt join me as she had her CNY preparation. afterall she is the MC....what if i appear all of a sudden!!
ok back to topic. here are the pics of the race village!

thats like the main hall where to scouts gathered for some kinda talk. the pre-ventures and ventures wandered off away form the scouts as we toured the race village... ooo guess what! i met my primary school juniors who were helping out in the event too!


seriously i have no idea why my fingers keep cutting into every picture....down there was super glaring plus with my handphone privacy protection screen, i couldnt see anything! so i snapped these pics based on my instincts. oh yeah these are the racing boats! cool huh. they are so tall yet so stable. heard they have this long lead tube under the boat to stabilize it.

thats like the movie theatre? justthat they have a really short clip for you to watch, its titled uh....life to the extreme i think. something like that. gotta say the sailing was really gruelling but its super cool la. if i had the expertise, i would have gone for it.

me and bernie shared this iceball! they had a choice of 3 flavours and i asked for all! :P
oh yeah. then, we went for the presentation kinda thing where the people showed us more about the race and the history behind it, plus the person doing the talking didnt really make it sound so interseting..... anyway here is the trophy!!

they said this is all the winner gets!! not even cash or whatsoever, just this. and the pride that come with it. after all the gruelling 9 months....looks like the pride is the greatest achievement....
anyway after that, we got bored and the pre-ventures, bernie, alisa, stefanie and I decided to go over to the other side of sentosa form where we were, sentosa cove. we then took a tram to the siloso beach... where we walked on the beach and just sat there. before i went to buy a bottle of beer! :D

took some pics of the beach as we chatted a little and just walked around aimlessly....


nice scenery huh? i so feel like going there again as my birthday celebration with my close friends!
