YANNI IN SINGAPORE

One thing about marriage is, you learn to enjoy each other company in one another interests. Husband's love from the past- YANNI. I wasn't a big fan but after the one night concert at MBS, i was blown away by the talented musician and his band. Truely world class!

Batam Getaway

Sometimes a simple getway with frens over simple board games and eating can recharged your spirit. We should do this more often.

The Big Three @ Phuket Rawai

Morning sun greeted me at 8am. What a good rest! Serendipity lived up to it's name. We were served a sumptuous spread of intercontinental breakfast. Nice table set up with little cute cutlery and pottery.Food was aesthetically displayed. Light lounge music was played. The place is so quiet and serene. I felt time has slowed down a little .

11am :Moving on to another chapter today and celebrating it at phuket .Naiham beach is beautiful. The green waves and the clear cirrus clouds lightened me up. We rode the waves and dived in the sea water. I was in heaven with the sea water bubbling in my ears. There were a lot of things I hope to do before turning thirty such as having a kid but I guess god has it own timing and I should learn to be content with what I have and learn to treasure my time to enjoy the present .

4.30pm: While waiting for the minibus to fetch us back to the hotel, Hubs and I sat at the beach to have some silly fun.Snaping pictures, watching the dogs and talking about why the caucasians like to date petite thai asian girls

5.30pm:
Before having a good soak in the bathtub, we decided to laze around in the balcony,just to enjoy the good space and the nice nature. Be still. That's a nice feeling to have.

8pm: We went back to the same local restaurant that we had yesterday to buy dinner and went back to our apartment to enjoy a quiet dinner. No fancy dinner or blowing the candles on the cake. Just Hubs and I with a bowl of tom yam, green curry, morning glory and grilled chicken for just $20 dollars.

7am: Woke up to enjoy the breakfast.The same feeling of peace and tranquility. Have a little walk in the garden before hitting the pool to swim a few laps. Then laze around in the nice chairs to enjoy our last hour before we bade farewell to Serenpity and our wonderful accomodation. I really had a good time and will definitely be back again, hopefully with a little bud.

Jurong Bird Park

9th April 2011

Hoon had free tickets to Jurong Bird Park and she invited hubs and I to join them yesterday. I had such great fun. JBP changed so much. I preferred it over Mandai Zoo for two reasons:
1. It is less commercialized and the vegetation is much natural
2. The birds are always moving and in actions, unlike the animals in the zoo.

Then, we went to Ivy Poison @ Bollywood ( Lim Chu Kang) for lunch. The banana bread, kueh, fig tea and curry are yummy. Love the rustic feel of the restaurant. You won't feel like you are in Singapore. I think is a great place for parents to bring their children for some outdoor fun and eco-education. Service was good and the boss would take time to check in with you. Apparently all the vegetables are grown without pesticides. So is ORGANIC and you still feel so healthy after a heavy lunch!

Discovery weekend

1 April 2011
Hubs was away in Bali for an offsite retreat with his company. So I needed to figure out how to spend the weekend alone. Went to do a facial in Haach and thereafter went to Esplande to hang out at the library. I am reading the " Half the Sky. How to change the world". Fantastic book about wide spread human rights violation of our age. Worthy read. There's something about Esplanade that kept drawing me back.I love the changing visual arts display. It gave me perspective.

The young local bands were blasting at the amphitheater. I thought I am too old for Rock. I redicovered that it energizes my soul.

Then I moved indoors to the concourse. Another local band was sharing their journey. Fantastic trio. Love the lead singer, Ruth Ling and the drummer, Audrey.I swayed my body to their ballads and immersed in their sharing. Music makes wonder to one's soul. I am so glad that I am reconnected again.

At 6pm, i left to meet dad for dinner at Sisley. It turned out to be another wonderful time. Just daughter and father. Conversations over plates of salads, fish and chips and pasta. Catching up over one another's life.

Life is so wonderful with such little things.Thank god for such a great weekend.

Global Trotter is back

13 March 2011
First weekend that Eu Jin was back for good and in order to help this guy settle his life back in Singapore, we went to Adam Road to have his favorite prawn mee noodle after church service. Well, after being away for so long, he was still a true blue singaporean. Good Hawker food makes him happy.:) After that, we went to the Botanical Garden to laze around and enjoy the green outdoors. The SAF Military band was playing that weekend. It wasn't fantastic but had made us happy and contented .EJ said we should do this more often and with a bottle of wine,some cheese and crackers the next time.
