Got a new file from Dear zhi which she decorated herself. Its a 20 compartment clear folder. Think its for me to be more organised,haha...talk about presents with a meaning huh,haha.No la, i like it, alot!!Appreciate it.Sat night, dear zhi and i went to Dempsey Hill Ben n Jerry's for some ice cream. Havent realli went out to have fun since school started...besides muggin and goin to school, i guess its good to put down our books and have a good night out,even if its just doing nothing much really.
Although its not that new a place, but i would still consider it another one of my fav spot in SG. Thanks to the nice colonial buildings and feel and the lack of tall and crammed buildings,maybe the nice cool weather helped as well.And its really hard to find places in singapore that is not about malls and neon lights, but to keep things simple and comfortable, not too hectic a place to be in.
We went to check out quite a few of the cool restaurants, and loved a few of em! Price is certainly on the high side, so i guess we'll stick to the ice cream and maybe the drinks will do...we leave the mains elsewhere.Ha. Ben n Jerry's was really packed and noisy. If not for the nice cow-boy/cottage decors, it would have been equivalent to a noisy coffeeshop!haha..Dear zhi and I had Double Belgian Waffle(chunky monkey and our fav coffee ice cream!!). ice cream was great until dear zhis's 'cant find phone' incident, haha. Eventually found the phone in the car, but some of the ice cream melted already,haha. But still i enjoyed it, havent had so much fun talking and just sit back for awhile.
After ice cream, we walked abit more before we head home, finding more nice places to go together next time!!
Thanks, for the file and for the great time out=)

A specially prepared Waffle breakfast brought to school and a pink rose...that was how we celebrated the auspicious 8th month & coincidentally the chinese Vday(haha) together. haha...
Was suppose to wake up earlier to prepare the waffle proper but overslept, my phone tried to play a trick on me..still had time though and there we are....Aunt Jemmima Waffles with strawberries and California Raisins with Maple Syrup.Sweet!!

In the evening, i waited for dear zhi below her house...and surprised her on her way to Yoga with my pink rose. Then we walked to the CC tgt...=)
The school sem hasnt been exactly kind to us, we've basically been studyin(or at least trying to) day in day out...with lots to stress. Hopefully these wld have made ur days a little more happier.Jiayou dear!!

Its been 1 week into school, and as always i still get the false impression that 1st week's are meant to be slack...the school loves to play mind games with us and before i know it, its the end of the sem. It took me 3 years to realise the importance of a good degree and the importance of the chance to study. Im banking on the next 2 sem, so if you have that lil' bit more luck to spare, do send it to me.I'll be thankful:)

First friday of the start of the sem and dear zhi and i were spotted at Orchard having a short shopping trip. Not really actually, just that we needed to get her shoes curz the old one is not hanging on much longer. We took a peep at ION orchard, and it sure is a mega mall. Their food-level is also amazing, lotsa jap food that looks as expensive as they are selling it for!haha. But yea, we'll be back to check out the mall proper again.

Dear zhi eventually bought her shoes, almost got an extra one...haha,if not for the not-so-patient staff who got impatient with her trying the shoe.But its ok, there'll be a better one!


We went to Geylang on sat night. Yea,it was a HOT & STEAMY night-both of us...............................at the YongHe Dou Jiang Eatery that is!!(what did u think!!Haha).They served it abit like china-style, not too bad by my standards but dear zhi didnt really like it. We walked abit down geylang road, and saw many china ladies drinking with the old men at the coffee-shops. 'Colourful' night life of Singapore!


The World's worst Dog
Watched Marley n Me over the sunday afternoon on my Com. A really good pick i must say! Eventhough the movie ended as per all 'Dog-movies', with the death of the dog, but i enjoyed watching how John(the lead) grew from a newly-wed young man to a sensitive family man. Beyond Marley the show told about how they grew as a family from scratch. And with marley, it further strengthens my view of how in life, Imperfections can be the greatest form of perfection. Often its the imperfection of someone, something that makes that person extraodinary, and eventhough the imperfection may not be something we like or appreciate but its what makes that someone who he is.

It seems my holiday adventure is never ending, as a week into my school and im still blogging about them. But this is a true adventure, 2 days before school start, dear zhi and I took a bum-boat to PuLau Ubin for a day-out in the wild!!

We set off at 830 and reached Ubin at 1030, it was a rather long journey....taking the bum-boat already is a great feeling, like going on a holiday, or maybe i just love the sea view. Reaching Ubin, we had some breakfast at the Malay Stall. They were very insistent that we do not eat Outside Food...haha, i guess they saw my packet of Chwee Kuay and so warned me first. Not the most friendly of people considering they were the first islanders we met. Getting a bicycle there is easy as there were loads and loads of them, but they dont come quite that cheap tho as a better bike cost us 8 dollars...the shop-owner kept comparing prices with Sentosa!!(Hello?both also island doesnt mean can compare leh....ure sand is yellow leh not white!)haha...

So we set out, cycling down the Sensory Trail, Mamam Beach and Chek Jawa! Venturing into the Secret Garden we checked out all the herbs n Spices and coffee plant. After that we took the long way to Mamam Beach, which personally was quite a disappointment. THe beach was more like a sand patch, not quite what i had imagined curz i planned to have a lunch break there. Good thing the Orchid Plantation is just round the corner and we got to see lotsa baby rabbits, pet dogs and a pet wild boar!yea...

We then took the hilly roads up to Chek Jawa. It was the most challenging part of the day curz we had actually cycled for 2-3 hours non-stop. When we finally reached Chek Jawa, we were surprise to see a nice cottage sitting right by the sea...the broad-walk extends right to the sea and it was quite shiok sitting there, doing nothing but just listening to the wind.
After chek jawa, i had nothin on my itenary alr..haha.and so we trekked back and reached the jetty at about 230pm. A short 4 hr on the island, but an enjoyable one getting close to nature. Cycling through the hilly paths werent easy, so Kudos to dear zhi who trekked and pushed the bike with me til the end!!Good job yea.
After a rather heavy lunch at Changi Village, inroducing dear zhi to their famous Red-Tea Longan..And since we ended early, we took a bus home from Tampinese interchange to CCK!!oh yea...a whopping 1 plus/2 hours!! You can imagine, thats like 1/3 of our outing time already!!wahaha.

On the friday before school start i spent a day with dear zhi doing all the simplest things we can and enjoying the attractions around the neighbourhood!!haha.
We started with Sushi making over at Dear zhi's place. It was my first time making sushi myself...and it sure is not as hard as it seems to make an edible one, although im not doubting the skills of the japanese sushi chefs, takes alot to know the amount and shape of the moulded rice. Anw, i picked up some skills from dear zhi who's really quite good at it...yea professional?!haha..Below which im rather proud of are the sushi we made,comprises of tuna, crabstick mayo and california Rolls!!Yea, go on and salivate.....wahaha...

After lunch, we did up our Photo album!!!Contents are secret....haha...

Then we took the free shuttle bus to Qian Hu, where we had the FIshSpa!!Student price was not too ex, 5 per 30mins. Being a grown up man and army trained, but never did i imagine how all those tiny little fishes could conquer me and make me cringe like nobody's business!!haha...it wasnt pleasant at all for a start. So after much suffering, we tried the pool with Bigger fishes..haha..it feels less ticklish but it was too big for comfort for dear zhi. So we went back to the smaller fishes, and this time round it felt much better and i gradually began to enjoy and relax!!hahaha. So much i forgot we only had 30mins...well, i would go back for more, and girls...this is better than your average shower foam that guarantees smooth skin!!haha

It wasnt over, as we ventured down the ulu road to an orchard in search of the Basil Plant dear zhi had been looking for. Thanks to the friendly uncle who seemed really proud of his collection of herbs n spices and introduced us to almost all of it...we found the plant and verified the smell!!Yea, better than those we found in Carrefour. Fresh from the nature!!
Dear zhi headed home a happy girl with her plant, i headed home happy as well...the simplest day out yet the most fun out of it=)

We're going to the Zoo zoo zoo..
How about you you you...
Went to the Zoo with DearZhi. Had wanted go since the beginning of the holidays...haha, took us so long to finally go. Went there early in the morning to catch the animals when they are most active and to see the elephants bathing but it was too early tho..
Armed with the feeding and show times, we attempt to catch all of em..only to realise its too difficult to cath all!haha. The habitats in the zoo has surely been upgraded over the years, looking better and more like the animals' natural habitat.
The animal shows have also been changed. During the show, the ang moh tourist who got chosen to do the tribal dance first took off his shirt when asked, and when the artistes jokingly asked him to remove his pants as well...he really went to remove his belt and his pants almost dropped..haha..
We were lucky again as the weather was kind to us....the animals were fun to watch, Ben n Jerry's nice to eat...the zoo is a happy place to be!=)

NDP (Preview)2009 Lucky was the word for the weekend! First i managed to get NDP preview ticket sitting at the VIP sector from someone i didnt know, 2nd the weather forecast for the weekend was likely showers yet we sat thru the show dry and with a nice breeze. So yea, sometimes we really can depend on luck too...=)
It was my first time viewing at the floating platform at MarinaBay. Sure is enjoyable sitting by the Singapore river and having our CBD skyline as the back-drop. I even saw my NS OC at the stands, had a short chat with him..still as sarcastic as ever. He's of course moved up from the supporting to the main contingent leader, good for him!!
The NDP has-through the years-become more meaningfull to me...as i see Altitude went up to perform, and myself doing the Guard-of-honour. The first time i saw it was at Kallang Stadium, i took part in the one at Padang and now i get to see it at Marina Bay.haha.


The show is very much different from last time, as there are less formations and weapon-system parades now, in place of that is more music and dance-performances. We can also get closer to the props and performers as they now can walk into the stands. As night falls, the spectular lights and music made it look like a pop-concert!

8.22pm, we took the pledge together and sang all the other national day songs...there were quite alot of fireworks as well considering its only a preview. After the show we even walked to the bottom of the stage and took pictures.

NDP was really good, although i was quite busy the whole time taking pictures..it was a memorable NDP with dear zhi...
