Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve (30 Jan '10)




Went with a few of my cell-group people to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve on Saturday. It was quite a hot morning, but thank God got plenty of wind. It was a refreshing walk amongst the jungles and swamps. I haven't been to this part of Kranji before, the furthest I've ever been was to the Kranji park. After the hike, we went to a nearby organic farm to buy some fresh produce. All in all, it was a good time; though I think I may have been out in the sun for too long. Now am having a splitting headache... ow ow ow ow...

Jon's celebration tea (25 Jan '10)




We celebrated Jonathan's birthday during afternoon tea-time today, as he didn't want a birthday lunch thrown for him. :D Most of the pictures taken turned out to be blurry, because I switched off the flash-light function.

>:P

My friends dubbed my pictures the "shaky hands" album...

Blessed Birthday, Jonathan! Metsu Hadoken!~

P.S. "Gah poh-ed" some pics from my friend, whose hads were steadier than mine. Thanks, Ah Tan!

Dinner at Streets (21 Jan '10)




Last week went to Bukit Panjang PLaza for a get-together dinner with the drama people. Supposed to have more people one, but a lot of people last minute cannot make it. :p So in the end, it was just Yat Sing, Mei-en and myself. Cozy gathering, really get to hear Yat Sing tell more of his stories and jokes. He'll be leaving this Saturday, so we'll won't be hearing from him for a while. :(

P.S. Last picture is taken from Yat Sing's camera. XD

Korean rice adventure (19 Jan '10)




Today decided to try out making the korean "kimbap" (korean rice roll) that my friends brought back for me from Korea. Was at a loss on how to make the thing, until two of my colleagues gave me advice. The Korean rice taste different from our Thai rice and the Japanese rice, both in texture and taste. It was delicious enough to go alone the award-winning hot pepper paste ("gochujang"). And the seaweed was fantastic! A very satisfying breakfast overall~ Jal meogeosseumnida!

Watched this on SQ while flying to Taipei. Not a bad Japanese film. Building a castle out of cardboard is not as easy as it seems!
