'Lunch' at Manly Beach

I woke up at 12.00 noon today....thinking that it will be a boring day as usual, I dragged myself up to brush my teeth. As I was about to leave my room, my hp rang.....it was Edward, asking if I would like to go to Manly for lunch....he had to like repeat a few times in order for me to understand that....(that was how sick n blur I was). I told him I needed half an hour to prepare myself. Happy that there was plans for the day...I hoped into the shower only to realise that there is NO hot water! Damn! Had to go boil water to shower.....

Half an hour later, I was in Edward's car....we drove to the city to pick Cynthia up and....straight to Manly.....

We chose this corner cafe for lunch....which we were attracted to it because of the HUGE variety of cakes there were in there....I had a fettucini bosciaola which I couldn't even finish. I guess my appetite has shrink since I had been sick for the last 2 days....we were so stuffed after that that we cannot stuff in the cakes anymore. So we decided to go for a walk at the beach and then come back for the cake!




Geeeeezzzzz...the beach was soooo nice that we all realise a walk isn't gonna satisfy us today....So, after some silly pictures we took off our camera phones (yesss...no one actually brought a camera) and then decided.....we need to run down the ocean and crash the waves!!!!!......But WAIT! Being rational, we realise we needed clothings......and being gals, Cynthia remembered the surf shop across the road was having 70% off sales! Yessss.....that is EXACTLY wat we need......we hurried there.....each chose a bikini (I tried on like 8 before finally settling down on one that I guess will not float away easily when being face-to-face with the wave.....) And damn the sales was really really cheap!!! However, Edward wasn't that lucky at all when he realise that clothes aren't really cheap for him....but he bought a surf pants which he and we liked very much...worth it seriously!....we hurriedly paid....rush to buy towel, went back to the car to put our bags....then rush to the toilet...get changed.....and ran straight into the sea!


Hahaha...too bad we had to keep our phones in the car so no photos were taken of us crashing the wave.....but then, as usual, the scary-chick me was terrified by the waves. It wasn't my first time but then as always I got sooo scared. Plus, the seawater at Manly was soooo freaking saltish that each taste of it was yucky! Cynthia and Edward held my hands as we went deeper into the sea....goshhhh...it was SCARY! My feet couldn't even touch the ground at times and when the wave hits, it make u feel like u are miles away from the ground. And there are also times the wave hits u so badly u just hit the ground hard and bruise urself. Everytime I met with a BIG wave.....and when I feel insecure and my feet is sorta like miles off the ground, I blurt out this chirping sound....hell I dunno why but its sorta like my language when I am in a situation where I cannot blurt out normal words. I chirped all the way and I guess if other ppl could hear it, they might have thought it was a chicken getting drowned or something....embarassing!

I was trembling from cold (serious trembling tat I turned green).....by the time we left the water. We changed and headed back to the car to get our stuff before heading back to the cafe for cakes!! kekekekke.......goshhh....a peep at the mirror and I realise all my makeup was gone and my hair gel has melted freaked me out! I look soooo pale....esp that I was soooo freaking cold!

We headed back to the cafe....had like 3 cakes and I had a hot chocolate....and that was the best time ever. It was for once I felt like I was away on holiday and that I could now just walk back to the hotel room and sleep till dinnertime or something....I felt sooo free and relaxed!

We crapped all the way back to the city after a looooong tiring day....but indeed it was such a fun one that this 'lunch' at Manly beach was the coolest, most random and relaxed thing I have ever done in the past year!

Thanks Guys for a Lovely Day!!!
