Personal - New Tent on the Island

Yoh Blog!

I can not take it any longer. If you look at my blog (Lazarus search), my last Lazarus trip was a few months ago. I really missed Lazarus Island and relaxed by doing nothing.

I was supposed to go to Lazarus with RD last Tuesday, but RD had a family matter that required his attention, and my school project had not been completed. So I could not go to the island while thinking about work, so I cancelled and went on leave today.

Today was 11.11 Singles Day, I believe... Only this unwanted shxt has to do things on its own... Watching and realising how many of my friends got engaged today... I suppose that added to my reason for wanting to visit the island and test something, as evidenced by the title of this post. Thank you, Heaven, for such beautiful weather rather than dampening.

Feeling meh... Singlehood lifestyle - I had to wake up at the same time as my working hours.

However, today I felt relaxed and looking forward.

11.11 Singles Day... I am neither happy nor upset, but I lean more towards upset because... I should not say it... Okay! Stop it, Jeff!

Let's stay focused! I would like to try the Quechua Camping Tent MH100 3P Fresh&Black. To make everything worse, Decathlon had 11.11 sales today!

Oh well... I am known for always being late... Late for a sale, late for a relationship, late for words, and late to get up from Delulu.

Even on the train... I was alone... Oh, well...

I made a stupid mistake by wearing these rubber shoes. I started feeling the abrasion...

Hello, Mr Sun. Thank you for accompanying me on today's island visit.

After purchasing my ticket, I had some time before the ferry arrived to pick us up, so I decided to eat breakfast somewhere.

I would like to have breakfast up here.

Good morning, Birdy. Typically... Birds usually hang out in pairs, but you are alone. Do not worry; you will find a partner soon. Birds are not picky and complex in any way.

Nice morning sunrise; the light and heat were ideal for me. (Fortunately, I wore white; otherwise, I would burn)

Unfortunately, there was no one around to assist me in capturing the blurry effect with my phone camera. Haha

Sun tanning here versus the sandy beach... At the very least, I will not get sand on my feet or body. Maybe I should get a foldable bed for sunbathing.

If I buy a foldable bed, I will need a larger bag to carry everything. Perhaps I will just get a larger ground sheet.

This is a typical shot I take whenever I visit the island. Just glad to see Mr. Sun.

Today was fairly crowded with workers and some elderly.

I remembered something... I had a cutter, so I removed the part that caused abrasion on the back of my feet. Actually, wearing rubber shoes is fine because they are thick enough to walk and protect my feet from any sharp objects hidden in the sand, but the situation has already reversed.

I wished I could go somewhere else on the island... But there is no one to take me there...

I suppose I will just dream for a while and enjoy this island as much as I can.

ST John's Island - I know there is a place where I would like to urbex, but I will not do so due to some feeling of discomfort.

Everyone was rushing to explore the island when the ferry docked especially me.

It appeared that there was no large group heading towards the beach. Yippee!

Good morning, Harbour. I am glad to see you are still strong.

Yes! It appeared that I was the only one walking towards the beach. I am so excited!

I saw some workers walking towards the beach, but I doubt they are beachgoers, so the entire beach is mine!

The cloud formation resembled a Phoenix.

Once again, the legendary Banyan tree with sheep, and I adore this type of artwork because it evolves over time, particularly as its roots begin to branch out.

Soon this Banyan tree is gonna sprout tentacles and come alive! How cool is that?

Yippee! My beach! The whole beach is mine!

I am a beach lover in case you don't know. Do you personally enjoy spending time at the beach? Some individuals prefer mountains, urban areas, or shopping malls.

Now walking towards my favourite place...

Yippee! My secluded shelter! I think I will try to stay here overnight one day.

Hmm 🤔 something had changed... The tall bushes that once grew here have been removed. I believe it is to make room for CCTV cameras and increase visibility.

And the signage was gone too. What's going on?

Time to transform! Heishi 変身! (Changed naked under the shelter, and the CCTV may have captured the entire ugly scene, causing sore eye disease in anyone who witnessed it.)

I doubt they will zoom in to watch anyway.

It was time to pitch my new tent, which was my primary goal.

Looking through all of the items and determining their functions.

Let us see what this is. It looked like the tent's main body.

This grey sheet serves as the tent's skin.

I suppose we will need skeletons for the tent.

I wondered how long it was. Quite long!

Putting in one, which is thankfully flexible and bendable, and then constructing another skeleton.

Tada! Simple!

The tent could be used without its outer layer, resulting in translucency or transparency in a general view, similar to my wet trunk which will become an eye sore. 😂

Anyway, let us try to cover the tent.

I just put it over at random and figured out where it should face later.

It seemed easy! You may wonder, "Why don't I set up the tent by the beach?" For this tent, I think I will need a ground sheet to keep sand from getting inside and destroying the tent base.

Finally, a complete tent was built! But I took about ten minutes or more to set up, whereas my previous tent took less than a minute. I suppose there are pros and cons to everything.

After I finished setting up the tent, I began to sweat heavily. I am not sure if you can see this, but I was completely soaked with my body sweat.

Yes! Big space for many things!

I got this tent because I like it is dark when you are inside. Love this.

I have always liked the image of a coconut tree by the beach, but my plan is to destroy the whole image. 🤮🤮🤮

Alone on the beach, I wanted to lie down completely, but the sand was uncomfortable. I forgot to bring my ground sheet, as it was used in the tent.

I need to plan a bit to get things organized.

The water was extremely clean and inviting!

The best part was that the water was warm. 😍

But there was a sad part...

I realized that I can't suntan today because I have an IPL session tomorrow. The laser treatment can have many side effects, especially if I get sunburned, so I can't suntan for too long.

I'm looking to achieve a tanned look, even though I may not have the perfect body to go along with it. Instead of focusing on that, I'll spend the day taking photos and enjoying myself. That way, I can embrace the experience and capture some great moments.

The clear blue sky only made me feel lousy. Oh, man!

I will be back here again next time.

As I walked closer to the end of the rocky handler at Lazarus Beach, I wondered why the signage had been removed...

It seemed like it was removed for a while, and I still didn't register that.

Somehow... I don't miss it at all! 😁

The thing to do is to avoid obstructing the beautiful beach scene, or perhaps it is I who is obstructing the view!

Walking around like nobody's business.

Do my own things

Just to kill time and avoid the sun...

I have not been to or sunbathed on Kusu Island in a long time. Lazarus is my favourite, but Kusu Island will prevail in terms of restrooms.

I assumed I would simply shade-tan here.

The primary goal was to unwind and forget about everything.

I tried to stay inside the tent for a little while, but it was too hot, so I will have to take the cover off in the hopes of getting some breeze. I will remember to pack a fan and power bank the next time to keep the inside of the tent cool.

I may therefore need to pack a lot of stuff the next time. Well, I thought to myself, the next time I should set up my tent by the beach instead of under the shelter. Why was I setting up a tent under the shelter, then? so that I can remove other visitors... but it seems so selfish. I will be more self-controlling next time.

An unexpected, spontaneous feeling... I felt strongly that I needed to get off this island as soon as possible. The cause was not known. It seemed like something else, even though I was aware that the rubber shoes had caused a painful abrasion on my feet.

Fortunately, I had enough time to make the ferry in time; otherwise, I would have had to wait an additional hour. What a lovely sun halo!

See you, St. John. I will be back!

Looking at my feet, I could see that they were badly abraded. It will hurt more if I touch the sea water.

I assumed that this might be the cause of my strange feelings right now. Normally, I would stay longer.

Kusu Island, I felt compelled to refrain, so I refrained from getting down. Weird... Usually, I will get down for sure.

Even a tiny fly, which stayed with me the entire time without moving much, only confirmed that I made the right choice.

I assumed I would follow my instincts and take a power nap on the way back.

Ah! Heavy rain! Was this a warning sign that I should leave the island and pack up early? It had been pouring for a while. I am grateful to Heaven for the warning, the abrasion on my feet, and the ferry that was waiting. Thank you.

overall experience for today, despite its brief duration. The primary objective was to relax and test out the new tent. Overall, the trip was a blessing although I could not get a tan and there were many obstacles. I apologise for the repulsive pictures, but I should not have gone into the water to take them because I could not see much with my camera until I downloaded it and realised what a repulsive sight I was. In any case, nobody will believe me, but I will make full use of the trunk, especially when no one else is around to witness such a disgusting person and get sore eyes.
