Trip To Palau Ubin

My mum suggested to going to Sentosa for today but dad was against the idea and he suggested Palau Ubin instead. It has been many years since I have stepped onto the island and at that time, I was there with one of my aunts and my mum to visit the temple there. I still remember that time, we could take a taxi to tour the island for just $6!

We took Service 109 from my place to Changi Village Terminal. Before catching the bumboat to Palau Ubin, we had our tea break at the hawker centre. When we reached Palau Ubin, I was shocked by the sight of so many bicycles and minibuses. There was no sight of taxis in the island. I guess that is a change of the times.

In the end, My mum had to keep me company at the resting point located near the ferry terminal, while my brother and dad cycled round the island. Fortunately, we had bought The New Paper and Lianhe Zaobao to read, otherwise it would be very boring for me.

I can’t cycle on a 2 wheel bike as due to my physical condition. Sometimes I just wish that I could cycle on a 2 wheel bike. At least I would get to see some places that are accessible by bikes only.

But at least, I really enjoyed the peace and quiet that is a little difficuit to find in the main island of Singapore nowadays. Also, I got to learn a new bus service route which I can add to my collection.

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.
