Happy Birthday Alex
Wow... Time sure flies.. In a blink of an eye, someone's 23 already.
Happy Birthday Alex.
Fun filled day today. Well... something most people would least expect it. hehe. But i guess its quite an experience. So here we go, location was at Raffles place Control station. As usual, i had to be late... LOL. Well, Alex was kind enough to give me a lift up from my place and we picked weimin on the way as well. By the time we got there, Jian xiong was already waiting there for us. And then we are off to clifford pier. Woah, haven been there for a real long time. The last time i went there was when i was a kid with my auntie.
So.. we waited for the boat to arrive. The Cheng Ho 2 (well... thats wad they named the boat. so... i'll let it be) pulled up to the berth. My initial response was... Gosh.. This heap is floating?? WOw.. Read in the papers that it sank or something around that line. So thoughts were a little skeptical. Anyhow.. i swear we were the only singaporeans there... The rest were like tourist. So in order to blend it.. i whipped out my trusty camera and there.... Singaporea Tourist. LOL. started taking pics here and there. they city skyline and stuff. took a while for me to get use to rocking of the boat. We were half way through the journey and bam... Water from the Heavens came pouring down. We went to the lower deck to get some food to eat. Since it was raining, phototaking was out of the question. To kill time, Weimin and Jian xiong decided to play magic cards. Wow... Maybe we took a boat ride to play cards. LOL.
We reached kusu island in abt 40mins time. Couldnt do much either cos it was still raining. decide to head to the temple to have a look see. So we braved the down pour and ran to the temple. Made a wish at a wishing well, and then we are back on board the boat. As its was still raining, couldnt do much. Hence the magic session continued. Another 40mins, and we are soon back at clifford pier. Time for dinner.
Walked to the esplanade, took a few more pics, headed to Marina Sq foe dinner.
Had dinner at Changing Appetites. The food there is quite nice i must say. Good thing we went there early, as the queue started forming almost immediately after we were seated. Man i'm stuffed. Walked ard marina sq a bit more. The nite city skyline was pretty nice. Off to find a nice location to take a pic. No tripod. argh. So use the ledge to surport my camera and take a pic. Hopefully it will turn nice.
After trugging around, we went of to eat again. LOL. Had a chocolate Foundue there. Yumm. Need to get some exercise. LOL. Soon, it was time to go home. Quite a fun day i had today. A well deserve break from my studies. hee. Woah, used up 2 rolls of film. what fun what fun.
Oggies gonna stare at the telly now.
Peace y'aLL
