Happy Diwali Blog,
Finally, another public holiday in the month. I wanted to heal myself, and since the haze had cleared, I wanted to recharge under the sun. I also wanted to clear the queue to request a trip to Lazarus Island. It seemed like none of them could make it. And I also wanted to test my AI assistant with another long post to check the speed of preparing my blog.
 |
| I guess I might take a trip today to complete one of my personal objectives on the island, before that place is gone. |
It is also best to accomplish this alone... I doubt there is anyone who has any creativity or ideas to assist me with this. Okay! Let's not delay; I need to pack and go ASAP.

| Getting ready for what I planned to bring. |
 |
| Let's go! |
 |
| Oh dear... I forgot to bring an important thing... No... Two important things... Those are a towel and suntan lotion. |
 |
| Aww... What a golden sun rise. |
 |
| It seemed like... Today is kind of packed. I should not be surprised, as today is a holiday. |
 |
| Disney cruise. How I wish to visit again, if sponsored (daydreaming). |
|
| Wah, I was told to get on board earlier on if I don't mind taking the small boat. |
 |
| Usually, the ferry will sail off around 9am, but I was already on the boat like 8:20 am! |
 |
| The fear of crowds had been resolved since I was on the earlier ferry. Before I get to my main plan, I’m gonna catch some sun for a bit. |
 |
| St John Island. Personally, I feel that this island will change completely in several years' time. There are many renovations going on. |
 |
| Oh no... Can you see what I see? Even though I was on the earliest ferry, I could still see people and tents! |
 |
| It seemed like they camped overnight here, which I have always wanted to try. |
 |
Whatever it is, there is one thing on my mind...
|
 |
| My favourite pavilion was it occupied? |
 |
| Zoom in zoom in! It was not! |
 |
| The view at the Lazarus Lagoon is so beautiful. |
|
| As someone not well-off, this is the closest I've ever been to a white beach. |
|
| Oh no... My mind started to imagine what I will do later... I don't have a towel, so how can I wash up? |
 |
| Oooo! Interesting approach! Just lay down a plastic sheet on the ground to keep sand and insects away from the tent, and you can rest around the tent and sunbathe. |
 |
| It is mine! Always mine! |
 |
| Since there is no name for this pavilion, it will be called 'mine-vilion'.' |
|
| Perhaps I can get a hammock, and it will be perfect. I think a bench is good enough. |
 |
| Having a hammock requires an irregular surface, shape, or form, like a tree, to support the weight. Two regular pillars cannot support it. |
|
| Even if there were such a tree, it could not carry me, this ugly self. |
|
| An interesting thing about the coconut trees near 'mine-vilion' is that they tend to grow slanted. |
|
| Anyway, I felt that I had better take some photos before the sun got too bright, which isn't great for photos. |
|
| I wanted to set up my phone for photos, but there was quite a bit of preparation. |
|
| Honestly, looking back at my current photos, I am glad to be what I am now. |
|
| You know, a poor man like me didn't go to the gym, but I'm trying to do some workouts. I have an orange-ish skin tone, and earned my tanline, which is what I wished for. I should be thankful. I just have to stay healthy so I can enjoy simple workouts and the things I like to do. |
|
Sometimes, I reflect on my earlier posts; I would make all my posts negative, but this time, after experiencing negative thoughts, I should learn to shower myself with positivity...
|
 |
| Okay, back to reality. Should I go into the water? I don't have a towel to wash off the sand, especially from my feet. It could be a big issue for my next objective. |
 |
| But the water was so dirty... |
 |
| I don't wish like going in... |
 |
| Or maybe, I can dry off if I enter. |
|
| To think about it... Nope... I only made it worse... Especially the sand in the shoes... The most difficult to wash off... |
|
| I guess I already had my feet in the water... Time to test it out and see whether drying them off will resolve the issue. Time to sunbathe. |
|
| Somehow, I heard something from a distance: the first ferry had arrived. |
 |
| Should I be worrying? |
|
| But I don't have my suntan lotion... |
|
| I think it should not be a problem because the morning sun won't hurt, unlike the noon sun from around 11 a.m. onwards. Those sun rays are too strong! |
 |
| As I predicted, the crowd came. I could not take an overall view; just the picture I got the most, as explained. |
 |
| I can sense that this large group of demigods wanted to take over my pavilion, but they saw that an ugly, disgusting man in a trunk had taken it. They didn't want to see such an ugly sight, so they settled nearby. |
|
| But while the sun was rising higher and I had my next objective to clear, I just gave up my pavilion and let them have it, because one person occupying a large space and disgusting many people isn't a sensible move. |
 |
| I packed and left. They sensed that and quickly took over the pavilion. I guess ugly me can't win against a group of 300 Spartans. |
 |
| More people were coming to the beach. |
 |
| Yup, hope they enjoy the pavilion. |
 |
| Banyan tree and mouse deers ritual - It looks so beautiful. |
|
| I wish this tree could grow bigger and the artist could rearrange the mouse deers when it does. |
|
| I wanted to snap more photos here, but I couldn't because many judgmental passersby were watching a lonely person trying to take pictures with a tree. |
|
| Anyway, I had a different objective for visiting the island today. Sunbathing wasn't the main plan, as I understand it might be crowded. |
|
| Yes, going to the abandoned HQ quarter is my main aim. Previously, in my |
