Sunburnt

We wished to take a dip at water theme park to celebrate the start of the 1st term holidays.  Where to..?  Tambun Lost World, Bukit Merah or The Carnival SP ?  After much discussion among us, Ah Boy suggested Bukit Merah, giving the reason ~ nearest. 

Today, we spent half a day at Bukit Merah Laketown Water Theme Park.  We drove down south, pull over at Jawi for a sumptious Dim Sum. 

Reached destination around 11am.  Changed into proper attire and off we got ourselves WET.  Fun..exciting ..indulging ourselves in the many activities.   

The weather was quite humid around noon.  The sun shoned mercilessly at us.  Basking under the scorching sun for good 4 hours has a price to pay !  My skin especially on my cheeks and arms are burnt.  They're reddish now and it may turn into some ugly tan in a couple of days.  Could feel the inflammation sensation on my skin now.   OUCH..

Although I did apply a generous amount of sunblock b4 getting into the water but my skin still burnt!!  Regretted for neglecting my skin. I did not take any precaution like long sleeves shirt with my swimming suit or have a straw hat covering my head......!  My face looked like tomatoes....sigh...!!!!  I had taken my skin for granted today.  Hopefully, my skin doesn't peel off like a snake tomorrow. 

As a home remedy, I applied lots of aloe vera gel (pure, natural) from my lil garden.  It soothes the discomfort on my skin. 
Also did the same for Ah Boy and Him.

Did not take any photos as it's inconvenient to bring camera at the pool.
