To continue my 'Ai Guo Jing Shen'... hee.. posted a photo for the Smile2006 online mural for the coming IMF. :)
A relaxing and very enjoyable day today. Jie Lin came over to my house to slack together with me. SO sad Chyi cant join us, needs to work.. there goes our majong session..any way we ordered Pizzadefrance (taste so much better than Pizza Hut), had a disastrous manicure session (fun still), Jie tried to fix my sis's hopeless computer (as predicted, its hopeless), and just chill and blog together (she brought her laptop). :) Do wish she could stay over, would be soo much more fun, but she needs to work tom, further more jielin mummy dont approve, wonder why.. wat a spoiler.
Since I'm in such a happy mood today, I shall recall back what I've missed out for the past weeks when I'm MIA. Hee..

.: Pulau ubin cycling trip 16.07.06 :.
My 1st ever cycling experience out of Singapore main land- Pulau Ubin!! Its suppose to be a fishing trip, but i explain later.. Dear and me set off to Changi after lunch. The wait for the bum boat to Ubin was surprisingly fast. Initially thought Ubin is a Ulu place whereby not many will go, and becos the boat only leaves when there's 12 passengers, guess I'm the mountain turtle. Any way, we are in the boat and heading towards Ubin in less then 15mins, reached in 10mins. FAST!! Ubin is actually not as rural kampong as i've imagined it to be. We rented bicycle (only $3 for a whole day, to return by 6pm. Wow!!). Along the way to our fishing destination, we saw durian trees (no durians to pick, sad) and some interesting insects, saw a gigantic spider (I'm a city kid).. after an hour of peddling we finally reach our fishing spot. The fishing wasn't a great success.. keep getting our fishing hocks entangles amoung the rocks and mangrooves .. resulting in a lost of a few hooks and weights.. saw archer fishs. mud skipperes, and some other small fishes..(saw a male dog humping a female dog.. faintz..) after a short 30mins of fishing nothing, we gave up (also its getting late) and get back to cycling.
People @ ubin are real friendly and so approachable. We were looking around for durians as a small group of family cycle by, suddenly we are in this chat about which tree is durian tree, how to identify 1 blah blah.. very casual, very truthful and sincere conversation, 'bu zuo zuo'.. I wonder y cant ppl in Singapore main land be like this too..
We went over to the beach for a quick photo taking session, then was intending to leave the island after this.. but just then i found prawns among the shallows of the rocky beach. haa.. we ended up catching prawns for the next 30mins or so. It bring out the kid in me and Dear, We had so much fun!!! Wonder when's the next trip back here again. A good retreat away from the city.
.: Devils Bar 15.07.06 :.
Met Jet and his friends @ devils bar.. been there before.. dont really had a good impression of it.. just seems like a uncles place to me. They opened a bottle therefore entrance fee waivered, since i dont drink that much, I wasn't required to pay. hee.. tats gd.. went in drank a few.. dance a little.. music not to my liking.. played guessing games (tats the only fun part).. drank a bit more.. then it was time to head home.. Din really stayed till too late, having this annoying stomach ache, further more, its a trip to PUlau Ubin the next day!! :)

.: Cycle & Blading @ East Coast Park 08.07.06 :.
As usual, morning archery training with dear.. After that, headed to East coast park to meet up the girls n their partner. Chyi had to work therefore was late. Therefore while waiting for her, we went ahead to cycle first. This is the furtherest I've cycled so far.. past by the bedok jetty and saw the cable ski lagoon.. it looks so cool.. maybe when I'm well toned enough some day, I might try that.
After an hour of peddling, Chyi finally arrived.. went for blading.. Chyi and Terrance bought their own (Chyi's bought her brother's).. Haa.. Look like pros.. any way, the 6 of us geared up.. only Jet and Terrance are familiar with the wheels(thou both needed some warming up too), the rest struggled to balance. After a few falls and screamings, hee... most did manage to gain control and start blading. Alvin was unlucky.. apparently his shoes are faulty and too loose.. therefore it was a bumpy 1 for him. I thought I did quite well, considering this is my 1st attempt, of course credits to my dear. :)
Dear and me departed 1st as we had another programme in the evening.. Headed to Bedok sports complex for a quick bath. heee.. then we are off to bugis to meet dear's friends' for steam boat.. and that wasnt all for the day.. our next stop was to Giraffe..
.: Giraffe @ Istana Park 08.07.06 :.
Reflection made by the wine glass- Cool!!
A place for wine and dine, good place to chill out. Met Jet and his pals @ night. Got my palm read by one of his friend. Hm.. what he said was a bit shocking, but i believe one decide how one's final fate would be. any case its the 1st time every I tried any fortune telling thingy, its cool. Good to know. But wont believe blindly. THEN... we headed to PS mac for bits (can u believe I accomplish so much in a day.haa.. i'm amazed myself) It was almost 2 am i think when we all depart to head home.. SO tired.. I had to wake up early the next day too.. be having a Family trip down to Pontian to visit some relatives..
