Nephew's Sports Hits at Bishan Stadium

22 March 2007

Went for my nephew's sport hits in the morning

Felt so sorry for all the runners. They were told that they cannot makan cos cannot run on a full stomach. So the young runners waited for their turn........... By the time my nephew's turn was up, it was around 4pm already! He only got to munch on some bananas.

Waiting....Still waiting.........


Dad looks cool.


Nephew in front waiting to be passed the baton...


Hands up to receive...


Got it!


Let's GO!!!!!


They got one of the best times - very good considering it was among all the primary schools in Singapore.

Cameron Highland, Malaysia

20 - 22 February 2007

Got invited by one of our fren to visit her relatives up in Cameron Highlands during the Chinese New Year week.

Outside fren's relative's house.
Vegetables everywhere.
We had steam-boat in the evening with plenty of vegetables.
Fresh veggies just plucked from outside their house. It was really very sweet and delicious. What a difference being freshly plucked.

The view outside the house.


Fresh peppers!




Plucking fresh veggies!


Fresh veggies delivery.



Cameron's corn are the sweetest I've ever tasted!
Andrew and I bought some and we ate it right there and then.
No need to cook it, it was so sweeet.




I enjoyed the farm part plucking my own veggies which was really something for a city gal like me.

Very interesting ride at nite along the mountain roads of Cameron - we saw the farms all lighted up! It was so, so bright.

Then we came across some people lighting fire-works as this was during the Chinese New Year period.

Phew, it was so hot even under the covers.

Double Birthdays - Dec 2006

The group had an early birthday celebration for CC and I.

Celebrating at Orchard Cineleisure.

Asian Civilisation Museum

30 Nov 2006

Saw my nephew reading a book one day. I asked him what he's reading and he was reading a book on the artefacts in the ASM.
Hmm... rather unusual for a kid to like knowing about old stuff.

My nephew and I share some similarities - like we like to eat sotong, we like going to museums, at one time when he was very young, the way we ran were similar too-with both our arm flailing around - so funny.

With my nephew.


Lunch at Boat Quay after visiting the Asian Civilisation Museum.

Sentosa - 15 Nov 2006

A day at Sentosa with SK and her hubby SW.




Taking the sky lift to get to the Luge ride venue.




Ah Kin's look of fear...

Went to take neo-prints

Somatic Exercise - 09 Sept 2006

Was queueing up to collect a free gift from UOB and started chatting with this gal. She was going to the USA to learn about this new form of exercise called Somatic.
When she came back from the States for a holiday, she organised a group to participate and I was invited. Don't know what it is, so I went to find out. Hmm.... seems like a cross between yoga and pilates.

Quirky La France

(Paris, 05 April - 18 April 2006)

Bus-Stop : Exact timing of the arrival of buses tracked by satellite.

A fast and economical way for rubbish - no body cover, just strap on the plastic bag.

A self-cleaning public toilet.
I tried it once - very clean cos after every use, it automatically flushes and disinfect.

Such small cars - great for me cos if I can't park it, I could just simply push it into the parking lot.

Wonder if hubby could fit in it since he's tall and big size.

MONMARTRE

(Paris, 05 April - 18 April 2006)

17 April 2006

Set on a hill 130 meters high, the area of Montmartre looks grandly out over all of Paris.
Also a place where the artists gathers.






Long way up - but I took the cable-car

Open your mouth - there, that's a good boy.














The top most picture is my favourite. The hauntingly blue night sky....






My dad used to bring me on a merry-go-round.
