Once again, I would like to reiterate...

...that in the battle between sun and skin, the Sun always wins. Even if you have thick skin like me. I should probably explain how I got sunburnt. Being complacent and bochup, I did not bother to procure any sunblock before happily traipsing off to the beach. I was there from 12 to around 3.45 on Saturday. And all this while the sun was scorching. So I lay there on my beach towel happily reading my book and occasionally collecting some shells, and towards the end I could see something was going seriously wrong. My skin felt really hot but I couldn't leave cos my friend was fast asleep and would NOT wake up. So in order to minimize the damage, I continued to lie face down on my towel, exposing the back of my body for more roasting/baking/grilling/deep frying or what-have-you. So pretty much I'm burnt only on the BACK of my body. Haha. Anyway I was trying to bathe just now and as I mentioned, the front part of my body felt fine. So I thought, everything's ok right? I turned around to let the warm water run over my back and promptly screamed. Not one of my finest moments. Hope my housemates didn't hear me.
