Re-living the good ol' days

Loads of fun and laughter tdy! It was pretty much like going back to the good ol' school days.. it all began with a bdae celebration for a fren at MACDONALD! This was to fulfil the bdae wish of the bdae gal since she never held any celebration at Mac when she was a kid. A very novel idea indeed! But the sleepy me, overslept and arrived so late that they were almost done with playing games.. But I saved the day for 1 of the group by providing a MP3 player.. LoL.. oohh, and paw got her car! i wan one too.. jus for the convenience...

then we left for kallang leisure park to catch a movie.. we chose KLP because we knew that its ulu enough for us to be able to get tix upon getting there even on a sat.. aft some discussions, we settled on watching Jack Neo's latest production - Where got Ghost? I've never been a huge fan of his productions because I don't think they're worth catching at the cinemas and they are typically very lame.. but just went along with the rest.. i can't recall when was the last time i went to the movies with such a huge group! 9 of us in all! over coffee, we started chatting abt the kind of part-time jobs we had done before.. mine were so boring.. all the office-kind.. theirs were the more fun kind.. working in pubs, serving beer, mac, waiter etc.. thinking back, shd have tried those stuff then.. that was prob the only age where one could have fun in such roles.. being in KLP with such a big grp reminds me of sec sch days.. KLP was one of our fave haunts.. esp the bubble tea place that serves minced meat rice..

aft movie, they headed for dbl o.. but i din join them cos i'm jus too tired... ...

Its still BRIGHT!

I'm currently on training.. the joy of external training which is offsite.. being able to get off on time and go home while its still bright!

Everybody gives me the unbelievable look when I tell them my training is held in Sentosa! Its been a great 2 days in Sentosa.. with another 11 more days to come.. heehee.. really enjoy it when a work day ends at bout 530/6pm.. maybe one of the days, I shall go stroll down the beach to catch the sunset.. tis is wat worklife ought to be like!!

Weekend at Pulau Subar Sarat

Vincent had kindly organised this getaway to Sister Island and I happily tagged along. Everything had been taken care of - from applying for permit, logistics, food, games.. all I had to do was to bring myself there.. =)

But I had so wanted to pull out of the trip at the eleventh hour because I hadn't had proper rest over the last 2 weeks and I knew I wouldn't get much sleep out in the open. Also, there was just so much work that I ought to complete over the weekend.

I'm so glad I stuck to the plan and went ahead! I contemplated bringing work along, but thot betta and left that behind. It was a much welcome getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life! It felt so wonderful the moment the boat moved off. The sea breeze was refreshing under the sunny sky. When we got to small sis island, we were the only ones there! Our private island for the weekend. Splendid!

Perhaps being on the island made it difficult for me to feel the stress at work. As I sat at the breakwater chatting away with friends, listening to the waves gently falling against the rocks and watching the sunset.. I felt peace.. and wished the weekend would not end. Dinner was sumptuous. Really, I was only expecting something like instant noodles for dinner. I was pleasantly surprise! We had all the typical bbq food like chicken wings, sausages, nuggets, prawns, potatoes, yam, corn and for a balance diet, vegetable soup (incl. mushrooms, prawns, dofu). I was amazed by the food I/C. It was certainly a very satisfying dinner.

After night fall, we sat waiting for the fireworks since it was the national day parade preview. Albeit small, we saw the fireworks! But none of the cameras could capture that as it was too far away. Supper was durians. I was simply amazed that they even bothered to bring durians! haha! Played brainless games in the night and laughed so hard that my sides hurt.

Mozzies and the hot weather kept most of us up through the night. But that meant we could catch the sunrise, which we did, albeit slighly late. Beautiful sunrise!

Breakfast was equally great! Peanut porridge, softboiled eggs (complete with soy sauce and pepper), toast (with kaya and butter). I don't even have such a spread at home.. LoL!

Then it was time for us bid farewell and return to the concrete jungle.. but we'll be back!
