slosh down the pepper!

Nine items knifed !!!!!!!!!

Achieved many things today! Whoa.. I am impressed ... with myself.

1) Managed to get up by 7am despite sleeping at 3.30am the previous night and staying in Master Zhou's place for less than 5-6 hours every night for the one whole week prior to today (Sat)!

2) Managed to eat a McDonald's egg muffin meal after so sooo long.. heh.. gotta attribute it to tremendous efforts in trying to jog 3 times a week! I have amazed many people with this resolution and the actual achievement of at least the first 10% of the plan!

3) Managed to find the way to Kent Ridge Park's canopy walk! Heng, the rain god cued at the right time to stop the blew up of the clouds and stop the droplets from falling thereafter... the so-called Canopy Walk ain't as amazing as the Treetops Trail. The latter gave a more authentic feel to the idea of canopy walk with its metal looking suspension bridge while the former looks more like just a normal boardwalk that is held in mid-air. Not much wildlife seen saved for some squirrels. Mostly floral 'exhibits' that are beyond my knowledge, and thus earned zero appreciation from a non-flower-&-leaves lover.

4) Managed to convince and be convinced to do a fair bartertrade on 'snapshots of memories'. Really fun! It is likewise a movie that is made up of both the leads and supporting leads and even extras; a life story is written out more clearly in pictorials than in words. I am going to dig out more of such memories! Understanding the past makes the present more logical, and prepares the future for better encounters! A very nostalgic, meaningful, and fun activity!

5) Managed to find the way up to Mount Faber! In the course of doing so, I became one of two trepassers who accidentally roamed onto private grounds (Temmengong Street) of some rich Malay men! Nice white houses built on stilts.. probably men of royal blood! Well, as usual, finding the route to the intended destination has always not been easy, yet those missed turns and wrong directions provide the most unlikely adventures! Didn't stay on to tour around the 'Mountain' since rain god was having some fun.

6) Managed to find out the menu for reunion dinner at Soup Restaurant. $98++, 7 dishes for 4 pax! Pretty cheap compared to other chinese restaurants! Crystal Jade is offering a similar but more expensive version at $168++. However, my mum and brother don't seem to show much interest, dismissing the food as common, normal. Probably of my mis-recommendation of last year's dinner at The Feast: Chongqing Hotpot.. Hai..

7) Managed to catch Wallace & Gromit! A very funny and entertaining show! Even the penguins before the actual movie were superb!

8) Managed to locate Settler's Cafe and had a great timeout! Didn't expect myself to actually enjoy docents' outing that much. Was treating the volunteering activity as a obligatory duty, yet each duty never fails to light up my day, especially when the visitors were friendly and the fellow docents are entertaining. I should strive to attend every docent outing/meeting! Taboo was loud and fun! Though it didn't have brand-new LOTR, it does store a collection of a range of cute games with interesting names like 'Mama Mia', 'Valley of the Mammoth', 'Munchkin' and old classics like 'Cluedo', 'Pictionary', and of course 'Taboo'. The tables are also much bigger than Pit Stop's, and food is served faster.

9) Managed to bring myself to blog all of these!

Tired but happy. (",)
