Our long weekend

It was baby girl's birthday last Saturday, 05-04-08, and we decided to spend the day with her at the Beach! So off we went to Sentosa in the afternoon as I think she really needs some swimming exercise to work out all the fats!

Look at her standing on twos while she waits for Chris to come back with her food @ the carpark in Vivocity.




Read more about her part of the story @ her blog @ http://sundaejrt.blogspot.com/. :)

Thank God Chris brought his hammock! Earlier in the afternoon, we used it as a shelter as the sun burns furiously. When the heat got down a lil, into a relaxing breezy late afternoon, we laid, each on one side and watched the trees swayed, ate our chips and keeping our eyes eagled on the birthday girl every now and then.













Very 'impromptuly' we decided to have BARBEQUE later in the night. We packed up at about 530pm, sent ourselves home, washed up the 3 of us and laze a lil before heading off to the NTUC @ AMK Hub to get the stuffs needed.

This is what we've got after spending 1.5hours and $92bucks! & that's my Kaypoh[busybody] dog who's ramaging through the shopping bags thinking that all the food was meant for her.

Look at the amount of food! We bought it based on 2 hungry people, turned out to be too much! dragged down another 2 semi full people[maid & sista amanda] to help finish the food.



And so, during that 4hours, we....

cooked



ate



posed



&

took pictures of the food.







Most of the boliao pictures were taken by sista amanda, blame her for not cooking. Hao chi lan duo! :P




Super drained out by the time it ended at 1am. We showered again before konking out right away.

Then on Sunday, somehow Chris agreed to Mandy's invitation for the meeting at Discovery8, a travel agency claiming that they wanna give us some gift vouchers eg: 1 for 1 cruise holiday & a $1000 shopping credits.

We got to their office, felt weird right after we took our first step in. Felt even weirder to be conversing with one of the sales personnel/agent in a big room along with the rest. There were like 30 over round tables, 70% filled with avg of 2-3 people each, all talking at the same time with fast paced music playing in the background, seems like a fish market!

Anyways, we went there narrow-minded as we've read & heard such scams through word of mouth as well as the internet.

It goes something like paying a down payment of NINETEEN THOUSAND SING DOLLARS, for either 25 or 50yrs, and then a $350 yearly subscription, it will guarantee you with 10 hotel night free in a 4-5 star hotels world-wide, and the ability to purchase air tickets or extra hotel nights for less than half the retail price.

Piangz! Who can tell if the company will last 25-50years? Who can tell if you guys aren't scammers? Who can tell if the stuffs you showed on your files aren't made up stories?

We were very nice towards the uncle who as trying his best to make us comfortable and liking him. But the moment we heard of the whole package, and told him a "NO" very nicely, his atittude changed. He looked as if we owed him millions, he looked as if he would beat us up, nevertheless, we remain nice & calm, shot him a few questions which he briefing answer and moved on quickly to psycho us even further with a lower package of $10K, and even wanted us to put a deposit of that pathtic $100.

We left after almost 3hours! WTH! Initially they told us it was about 90mins, but we're there for like 180mins! Sat until my butt cracked. We took the free gift vouchers and then drove off to Suntec for our yummilicious dinner buffet at Kuishin-Bo!

Some of the dishes we had within that 3hours are mainly loads and loads of Snow Crab, loads & loads of salmon sashimi, chawamushi, cold udon & soba, handrolls, sushis teppanyaki and loads & loads of sweet desserts & ice cream!









Walked around the shopping centre with a buldging stomach and decided it's time for me to do something about my tummy fats! Was on the verge of purchasing a Osim Uzap, luckily Aunt Vivian has the similar Oto Slimming belt which isn't of use to her anymore, she gave it to me.

Sent Chris home to get his stuffs for the working week, then back to my home. Super tiring and enjoyable weekend!

Sign off with a picture of me in his army "beggar like headgear". :P



Baby girl is 5!
