House Warming



I cannot remember when was the last time I've been to a house warming party! Might be 3years back? In Jurong when Chester and his family upgraded to a HDUC apartment.

Just last weekend, we attened a house warming party cum birthday celebration at my Aunt's place. I was all excited! Not because of the food or the type of house, but because I can finally see Potato!

Teehee. Potato is my Aunt's newly acquired Golden Retriever! If I'm not wrong, he should be at about 5months of age.

Adorable isn't he?

(okay, I kinda love my smile here, all the pain and $4.5K was worth it!)

Other animals in the house!

The mean female-detesting talking parrot.



2 large tortoise



And the pair of budgies.



She has another dog, a Papilion. Such a Dao-gei dog that I could not even capture a shot of him, let alone touch him. Haha!

Mahjong-ed after food and I lost like $70+ for the 1.5rounds of game! Biggest loss ever! Makan-ed at the nearby seafood place and it was yummilicious and thoughtful for the pockets!

We had:

- Cereal Prawns
- Marmi Chicken
- Sambal Kangkong
- Hotplate Tofu
- 5 bowls of white rice

all these for $47++ and it fills 5 persons tummy fully!

Drinks and beer were paid by the biggest winner! Haha, but still all thanks to me cos I was the biggest loser loh! BLEAH!

Dinner @ Grandpa's place later!

Ciao,
michelle

Excursion!

When was the last time we actually went on a excursion? Many many months back I guess, and all these time, weekends were spent on shopping and on lotsa food which had made me heavier by the days. So being the recent health/weight conscious me, I suggested a trip to Ubin.

It was a gloomy Saturday morning, nevertheless, we headed out with much anticipation. And this was what my 'Haolian' man wore out that day.



Decided to settle down for lunch @ KFC, which was such an unhealthy way to start of a healthy day!




Bus-ed down to Changi from Sengkang, and it took about 20minutes I think. SK is becoming much acessible but still, I hate taking the LRT!
Nike Visor bought by Chris just because I wanted to wear a cap out that day, and he misplaced my Mizuno white cap which I lent it to him sometime back when he went blading.

At the Changi Jetty!



Haolian man in the boat.




Rented 2 bicycles for $14 until 630pm. I was quite a steal as the previous girl whom we asked, quoted us $20! And when I told Chris to look around first, the girl went "Here all the same one, standard price, sure cannot find anything cheaper." Cheh! I helped Chris saved $6 by walking 10more steps. Haha.




Ubin is a good place to get away from the Urban City. But I wished there were better amenities. Prolly the Village Head should market it better as a 'Singaporean Tourist' place of attraction.








Love this! Kinda candid.




Water point! Coconuts = must have!







After an hour or so, I was feeling super tired tired already!




And this was what happened. He had to push my bike. KaKaKa.




100plus! The life saver!



This is what Ubin looked like 5mins after we returned the bicycles.


I swear I could feel my bones defragmented the night after the trip. It hurt like hell when I tried getting out of bed heading to the toilet! Each step was like a torture! I'm so gonna start keeping fit! Hah!


Some cutsy pictures to end the post!
