Lunch kakis gathering

What I missed most about the previous job is the people in the company.
I used to enjoy lunch ALOT even if it's a mere 1 hour break.
Because that's the best time to relax and hang out with my colleagues.
Most importantly, I've got the best lunch clique ever.

Most of us moved on to new jobs.
But the friendship doesn't just stop when we resigned.
I'm glad we still keep in contact like this.

Had a BBQ session with the ex lunch clique over the weekends.
It was a great catching up session!


The ones who moved on with new jobs


Not a very successful shot of the flames =(


Only the tall one can manage this job

The guys tried to "tie the umbrella up"
But it wasn't going to work. Haha..
The umbrella were held up by pins!


The happy couple preparing the sauce and plates



Dabian busy cooking


That was how dabian 'certify' our chicken edible.. HAHA
Turns out it wasn't a very reliable method.


The otah was meh~~


BBQ food!


The guys busy cooking while we girls eat


Time to get to work after filling our tummies.
Sarina was the official "light lady" for the day - she was in charged of shining the torch light.
(The place was pretty dark)


sm doing the bbq


Not too bad... got the chef vibe


Flaming prawns?!


sm's signature... erm.. pose


Dabian very relax hor..


The older people.. haha


Thanks to our lovely host - Maggie and John
They are my future neighbours! =)

Belated celebration

Belated birthday celebration with my poly mates.
I was tired and grumpy when I met them but they cheered me up easily.
Glad to have such friends! =)

Anyway, this batch of people were so sneaky (yet sweet).
Thinking that none will be at the meeting point early, I accompanied dabian for dinner before heading over to meet them.
没想到 they met up earlier to get my present and wait at the restaurant before our meeting time.
So when I reached, they were already there.

We had dinner at Wild Honey.
It was my first time trying out the restaurant.
Personally felt that the food tasted much better than Antionette's.


Cindy's egg benny thingie


sm and I had their breakfast set
Portion was too huge for us.... I donated 1 toast to wj whose order was too little to fill his tummy.
I absolutely love their potatoes~~


wj's crab omelette with thai salad
The portion was too little and the salad dressing was too spicy.
Self note to never order this dish since wj the guinea pig said its not good.


I think sm was laughing because cindy (or one of us) mentioned that her egg benny looks like neh-neh on the plate. HAHA.


wj and his signature smile


My 1st samantha and I!
Gosh.. I really look tired in this shot.


Its soooo pretty!!
I adore the heart wares on the corners!


Thank you for being such great friends!!

8 years of LOVE

Time flies by really quickly when spent with people you love.
On 1 Sep, we celebrated our 8th anniversary.
What's more is that we celebrated this year's anniversary as an engaged couple.

Celebrated our special day with Sentosa... literally.
It was Sentosa's 40th anniversary!
It was pure coincidence that we chose to celebrate the day there.
We were lucky to get to enjoy all the anniversary perks.




Before heading to the island


FREE badge = FREE island admission

The crowded was insane.
There were barricades where the Sentosa Express is but was of no use.


The Sandy Treasure
A sand sculpture exhibition of Sentosa's history




Performers on stilts
Aiyah... I couldn't get a shot with the tourists


On our way to UNDERWATER WORLD!


When was the last time you have been to the Underwater World?

My last trip to the Underwater World was a few years back... maybe when I was in poly.
I almost forgot what's its like inside besides the conveyor belt.
Anyway, we saw lots of marine creatures MATING!
A really eye opener! Lol..


Where got people so happy around shark?


Green turtles are adorable!


Grumpy lion fish
My dad used to rear one of this when he was into marine fishes.
But I can't remember what happened to it.


Marine fossils


The underneath of a horseshoe crab
Can you believe they have been on earth since 450 million years ago?!


What did I say about creatures mating?!
Lol.. a couple of mating horseshoe crabs


Pig nose turtle!
Omg.. we used to rear 2 of these!


An extremely huge and ancient fish which I can't remember what it is called.
This fishie is hunched back. It swam like that... as in 'L' shaped.


Not-so-gigantic giant octopus


Another mating pair


Really cute but I have no idea what this is called


Colourful starfishes


Alaska King Crab... yums?! Lol..


The easiest shot of the day.
The seahorse remained stationary while I took this shot.
Its so pretty with the leafy stuff.


Unicorn fish


Mini jellies
Supposed to be a artsy shot.. what do you think?


More jellies
I love it that they are luminous under UV lights


This is a giant deep sea isopod.
Looks oddly like a huge albino underwater cockroach.
Guess what it feeds on..... dead carcass of WHALES and other fishies


Sharks having some kinda meeting? Lol


The shark got dabian within its jaws!!


Turtles are simply adorable!


My fiancé is adorable too


Headed to the Dolphin Lagoon since our ticket came with its admission.
Surprised how much they have changed.
The last time I was there... the performance was conducted at the beach and audience sat on portable chairs.
Now, there is a proper sheltered auditorium with mist fan!


Sea lion doing the jump



Caught 2 of them in the middle of their leap

It so hard to picture these fast moving creatures. Lol..


Dolphin doing a bigger jump
Can't emphasize how much it is to picture this with a normal camera

The next highlight of the day was to Fort Siloso
Honestly, I have never been there before.
I never like wax figures... but dabian loves whatever related to history.
He is a old man.



The cute bus which brought us up the hill


Fort Silso is all about WWII
Some of the exhibits were quite scary, imo.
But its quite saddening to see videos and pictures of the POWs.
Anyway fun fact about dabian: he remembers details of WWII to the exact dates of almost every event


Few of the many canons around the area


Rusty old canon facing the sea


These are 'spot lights', not canons!

Did take much photos at Fort Silso because its scary... and we were rushing off for dinner at MBS.
Took the monorail back after the short tour.... well not really. Lol


I miss the monorail!!
