Zoo Mania

My two good friends and I started this tradition of planning a surprise trip for the three of us and then this time, one of them planned something and she wanted us to wear something comfortable and bring a face towel as there would be exercise like lotsa walking. So the key words are basically there so me and Nats were basically dressed up for exercise but then in the middle of the trip, we were told that we would be going to the zoo.


My first thought was....'in this?!' looking at my get up of a baggy shirt, shorts and a backpack...hrmph. Oh well. My friend who was a planner was dressed up as she obviously knew what she was going  and Im like..eurgh..I just had to wear this after not stepping in the zoo for awhile. Oh well. If there was one saviour, it was only the fact I at least wore mascara for photo taking. So please forgive me if I looked like crap in the pictures below...some of which are courtesy of my friend the 'surprise planner'..heh.

Anyway, what I enjoy about the trip most, as I always have every time I go there, are the tram rides..whee!!! Thank goodness we were in it when it was raining heavily of which the tram captain had to stop for awhile at a train stop which seemed to take like forever but I know it was coz of the rain. And I just love touching the kangaroo and by then I understood why the heck they put the sign 'kangaroo crossing' when all of a sudden, it went underneath the barrier and out in the open with us. 


Lunch was nice...specially prepared by my friend. It was cold pasta salad eaten with baked beans and we ended the meal with a Ben & Jerry ice cream. Mine was 'fish food' which yah, gave me goosebumps as me and fish, er..we're not exactly on good terms but narh, it was actually chocolate pieces which looked like fish. But it was nice......extra nice coz it was treated by Nats. Ah, love that girl.


cheated!

We stalked him and he posed with us willingly with branches extended..heh.

Perfect setting for drama queens!

Birthday Gathering & House Hunting

Last week, I celebrated a friend of mine's belated birthday together with another friend at her condo. Sadly, this would be the last time we would hold the celebration at her place because she has finally managed to sell off her condo unit after one year of looking for a buyer. Mostly we used the swimming pool facilities although the two of us didn't swim at all but just chill under the shade. We brought home cooked food and I really appreciated my friend for doing this for us, thinking about how the young son of a friend of us would love the swimming pool for kids. She is so selfless and kind to her friends and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life.  While one was selling off the house, the other friend was on the verge of getting a dream house for herself and her young son. In life, we have many priorities and things to look forward to. Each of our dreams and aspirations are different from one another, like for me, getting a house is not a priority at the moment.  ...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...
