Chalet!

This would be the chalet! Quite tired of elaborating so much except we had a great time playing mahjong till five in the morning and we were so damn high!
Photographer:Ho Cher Ern Dorita. Really must apologize to her being the only girl in the chalet. Sorry..wouldn't happen again. But i must say her photography isn't really good and thus no clear pictures were produced. Well.. we make do with what we have. Just look at headless angus..

Harvey sleeping really soundly and his hand is actually touching the floor. Must admire him for being able to sleep through us playing mahjong.

To Changi!


One week after the cycling in rain, this time we went a bit further.. to changi! But aling they way we still stopped at changi and there were actually facilities like this there. The stony lap. This time I went with Marc, Yeo Cheng and Marc's friend, Wayne. Yeo Cheng wanna challenge to race me around this and i was dumb enough to say ok.. thought it would be fun. It was supposed to be 2 laps but after 3/4 round i gave up man. It wasn't really painful when we walk on it, but never EVER run on these stones man. No joke. i ended up with bruises on my heels and had to tip-toe to walk for a week.

Yea this was when we reached changi. Didnt go the entire stretch cos cannot get into airport. Then marc said to arrange our bikes like that. Really cool man, but mine is all the way at the back. show u a clip of a plane that might not be taking off but really looks like it's taking off. Enjoy!

To East Coast!

Well no pictures to show here cos east coast is pretty standard. Not very interesting except...


Yea monks at east coast dunno what they doing here. It was the return journey that was really exciting. This cycling trip took place maybe 2 weeks before. During the return journey, there was an incredibly heavy downpour. We actually continued cycling in the rain man. The rain was STINGING painful and water kept getting into my eyes. Accidents are bound to happen right? Yep and it chose me. Along the road outside SA primary to SAJC, i took off my specs to wipe my eyes, or else i couldn't even see. Then in front of me was these four thin poles in a diamond formation to prevent from cycling through unless you slow down. I didn't see them..and yeah hit those poles. I was really lucky to have escaped with a bruise and my bicycle still in one piece. Whew. After that parted with Marc and i went to Yeo Cheng house to bathe and change. After the rain stopped, like around 6.40 plus pm, i had to go home. And i actually got lost and also found out that my handle bar was not straight! Cycled to macritchie reservoir then came to Bishan mrt and Then reached home cos i could only get my bearings from bishan. Pretty afraid throughout cos it was starting to get really dark and at rush hour with the handle bar not in line with the wheel. Thank the lucky stars that brought me home!

To Mandai Road!


This time, Marc ,Yeo Cheng and me cycled to the Singapore ZOO! As usual we started from Bishan and cycled all they way there. It is really good tanning exercise too. In fact, you know why did
we go there? We went there to eat breakfast at KFC. Haha, really. We reached at around 11plus and ordered a meal each. We wanted 2 buddy meals you see, more worth it but guess what? No buddy meal...or family feast without drinks...hai.







Yep this is the zoo. We didnt go in cos we didn't have locks to lock our bikes. Hence we cycled home lo. It really is great fun though. We also met some malays along mandai road who offered us cigarettes! I absolutely am repulsed by the poisonous smoke from it. Though i must say it is the cigarette that is bad, not the person. We think they might be people who brought tax-free cigarettes in and selling them there. Who knows.Reached home with time to spare, about 4.30pm.



Along the way, we stopped at Seletar reservoir here. Pretty plain though. But it is much much bigger than pierce.
This would be me. Nothing to add.. just feeling good there.

Flowers


Do you know that this is actually the flower of a guava plant? Its flower is really beautiful. However this flower wilts really fast. Hours later i might not even be able to capture a still standing flower.










This sunflower is actually bought from a florist for my sister's birthday. Haha its along the line of you are my sunshine..my only sunshine.






This would be Jasmine flowers. They smell really nice and its actually imported from thailand!! It just means taken back from my mother who just came back to thailand at that time. (My posts are not in chronological order)
Flower Power!
That said, i prefer herbs!

Silent Dialogue

Silent Dialogue


Heh.. This is the first painting i bought! Well it was actually co-bought with my sis. This painting was actually bought from my uncle who is an artist (really talented). The thoughts it gave me was kind of like communication with each other but sis argued that it was a reflection of one's mind which means that both of them would be male or female. However the painting shows evidently a presence of a male and female. It has a very serene feel to it while others might say gloomy. Also the creatures around the human figures are actually animals. Like the shape of a bird fly across makes us wonder how many times did we look up at the sky to appreciate it or just to notice it? What do you think then? Please do comment if you have any thoughts!

Cycling!



Well.. this cycling trip was when i was still in Sec 4 perhaps after june (couldn't remember). 5 of us: Yeo Cheng, Jian Ming, Glen, me and Marc the camera man! We started out from Bishan and cycled all the way to upper pierce reservoir! This picture is at bishan park.




This pic is the one taken at upper pierce reservoir. It really is very realaxing there. Especially when you go at the evening, very cool and tranquil there. You can play skipping stones there. My current record is 5 skips!
