Family Day At Punggol Point

-

My dad suggested that we would be going to Punggol Road End for our family day today. It has been a while since my family has been out together.

Punggol Point is located in Punggol, in northeastern Singapore.It is reached from Upper Serangoon Road which begins in the Potong Pasir area by Punggol Road to a dead end. This is the area is known as Punggol Point. Punggol Point was surrounded by seafood restaurants in the 80s and the 90s which were very popular back then. The area is undeveloped now to the east. Punggol Point is relatively isolated from the rest of Singapore. The closest LRT station here is the Punggol Point LRT Station of the Punggol LRT Line which is not currently in operation. SBS Transit Service 82 is available from Serangoon Bus Interchange. This service used to operate between the former Punggol Bus Terminal (which was on the end of Punggol Point) and Shenton Way Bus Terminal. When Punggol Bus Interchange and the North East Line opened this service was changed into a loop service from Serangoon Interchange looping at a bus stop (Punggol Road End) due to NEL rationalisation. Samudera LRT Station which is not operational is at the end of Punggol 17th Avenue

We had a good time, even though it was short as we enjoyed the breeze. Dad was sharing with us about his fun times that he had when he was young at Punggol Point during the short visit.

Although the visit was short, it was a great family bonding trip. I had the chance to learn the rerouted Service 82 as well, as I never had the chance to board on the Service since it was rerouted.

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
