Over the weekends

Guess my weekends are freaking busy as usual...

Friday - Picnic day :)

Went to Marina barrage to have picnic. Everyone brought some food over to eat. I prepared nachos with sauce whereas jm got some hot dogs and simon brought over chips. Diana, Julian and Mujia brought over some drinks. 

To be honest, I didn't actually know what marina barrage was for and me & jm thought it was just a waste of taxpayer's money. (govt wanna sue u, at least i pulled jm along with me) But in actual fact, it's actually a.....

The patch of grass beneath us is actually the whole pump. The whole reservoir serves I guess 2 purposes. One is to hold fresh water, another is to act as a preventive measure when storm kicks in. When it rains at the city, water gets trap and sometimes, it might get a little nasty as flooding might occur. So the possible solution is to pump out the rain water collected at the reservoir and into the sea. And vice versa. As you can see below, that whole bridge is the gateway between fresh water and sea water. Nice right?...

Okay, enough of the fun facts, these are like my chips dipping sauce. But these savage hunger people use the hotdog to go and dip into the sauce. (bet that's jm's hand lor...)

Saw some apache and chinnooks hovering around the city. Guess maybe it was for ndp. Well, I was just being courteous and signalled to them to land and have some chips....

Explored around the area and went to the Sustainable Singapore Gallery along with Diana and Julian. Kind of cool and nice atmosphere. Had some great designs over there. And we managed to see a model of how the barrage actually works

But..in the mean while, had some photo taking sessions. F.O.C

Tada!!!!!

Nice view eh???

Well, Diana had to go to work and then we went off soon after. 

Took MRT to orchard along with the rest. Julian went off first and I went off soon after to meet my parents for dinner. Had dinner at Manpuku Japanese Gourmet Restaurant over at Tampines one. Ate quite alot and the way we get food is like going to mache. Didn't really have pictures cos I didn't have any camera. So koped some pictures to tempt you all inside. This is what we had over dinner....or maybe less then what we had.... heee...

End up eating like $78++ dollars...hahah...but not bad..got lucky draw some more. 

After dinner I headed down to phuture to meet up with Shi Sheng and Eugene they all. Cos it was Shi Sheng's birthday, so he opened 3 tables. Had a little bit of drinks. haahahah...anyway, gave him this sake bottle as a present, since he like drinking. 

Happy 20th Birthday Bro!! (Shi Sheng is the on the extreme right)

Saturday - Swimming day

Woke up at 10.30am to get prepared and met xuan, guo ming and kiat hwee at my house downstairs to swim. I haven't been swimming for quite long though. We swam till like 2.30pm and then headed off to Ikea to meet up with yang zhi and jason. Had a DAMN heavy lunch cos neither of us had breakfast in the morning :)  Shared like 15 meat balls with kiat and had a nasi brani myself, along with a herring plate. Suuuper nice, but suuuupeeer full also. In the end went to drink coffee at starbucks back in tampines. When it was around 4.45pm I suddenly realised tt I had to cover bedok for jenny that day. And I was running late cos I was supposed to be there by 5pm to meet up with the aircon service man. I took cab down just to realise that the aircon man was late too. Suck thumb until cannot suck. Jenny, being the super nice girl she is, went to meet me cos i didnt have keys to the bedok branch. Eh, she came down from like the west side all the way to block 85 there can. So, just worked all the way till nine.

Sunday - Food Day:)

It was an armpits outing. Met up with xuan, kiat, tecko and jason at bugis junction. Jason reserved a table over at sketches. Not bad ah the food there, had this custom made pasta dish where you choose your choice of pasta, your sauce, your toppings and side dishes. Had some marinara sauce along with linguine and some other toppings. But kiat's one was the best. It was like a pizza. But kneaded in a way that it looks like a big dough dumpling. Damnnn nice I tell you. haha..sound like doing advertisement for that restaurant. But if you wanna go there it's on the first floor of parco bugis :)

Had deserts later at Ah Chew 甜品店. ALSO SUPER NICE. I ordered this cold mango sago with pamelo. Wah, never had a better one in my life can. I seriously swear!! After deserts, we met up with kin lung and hao sheng. Went to sheesha over at Arab street and slack and wait for Kin lung. Guess what we had for dinner? 麻辣火锅!! AND IT'S ALSO DAMNNNNN NICE. The soup base like not bad and the ingredients fresh. But one person like $20 like that. Not bad for a steamboat shop

Anyway 食物就在这里到一个段落。For those people who wants to eat these restaurant but dunno how to go. Can contact me!! mauahahha......

Very long never meet up with you guys like this le, meet up soon :)
