High Flyer

My date with Audrey Sim! :)

Arranged with her to go onto the Flyer with me since we teachers get it free during this month. Thanks to Teacher's Day! But she forgot that she's meeting me to 'fly' today and she didn't put on make up or bring her SLR camera! Tsk tsk...anyhow her misgivings about going on to the Flyer (due to some negative feedbacks from friends) soon turn into much enthusiasm as we were so captivated by the scenic night view from the Flyer.


We were so blessed to be able to get on the 7pm ride and it turned out to be a fantastic time. It was the perfect interchange from evening to night and wow..the aerial view was splendid. And we even had a guide on board. Apparently not every carriage has 1. As much as I feel this Flyer thingy is another novelty for Singaporeans but I am glad I had this one-time experience. Haha..Miss Sim Sim even contemplated of going back again before the promotion expires on the 30th Sept. :)

Below are a few snapshots of my wonderful night.

Some of my personal favourite shots but the last 1 is particularly my all time favourite!!! And I'm so proud that I took them myself! :)

Before we proceeded onto the Flyer, we had some cheeky moments in this 'Make Your Bear' shop.

Miss Sim Sim doing her thing!

More captivating night shots :

Some of the shots taken felt as those I was in a space ship. Quite futuristic structures there!

Dinner at Glutton's Bay. But we both had bagel and coffee at Starbucks before 'flying' so we were not that hungry. Nonetheless we had satay and chickie wings :)

To end of the night, we had beer from 7-eleven! Each of us had a bottle and we had a merry time chit-chatting under the stars (not really visible lah!).

Totally an evening well-spent. :)

Wo(Man) of the hour

As I read the tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, I can't help but feel this profoundly deep admiration for this immensely brilliant forefather of Singapore. I was in awe of his contributions and how his influence is so pervasive in modern Singapore, yet so few actually heard and know of his legacy. The more I read on about what people remembered of him and his long list of accolades, the more proud I am to be a Singaporean. I never knew places of interests like our zoo, bird park and even Sentosa were his ideas! These are just a tiny fraction of his contributions. My gosh....it was just an incredible discovery and I was hooked to the Saturday's Special edition on 'Remember Dr Goh Keng Swee'. Strangely, my heart was pounding as I read and later reflected on this titan's life. Instinctively, a question came to mind i.e. will there be another titan like Dr Goh, Mr Lee KY, Mr Wee Kim Wee or the other members of the Old Guard in my generation? Will I get to see one em...

Count your blessings

I bought this set of keychain for my gramps. So cute right? They both love it to bits man! Haha..I'm proud of myself. A wise person said this to me this morning: "when you count your blessings, you will find many things to be thankful for...". True true. Been rather short fused these days and especially with family members. My grandma bore the brunt of it on monday when she suddenly appeared at NCC with my grandpa. I wasn't expecting her and so when I saw her, I was quite mean to ask why she was there when I actually know her intentions. I felt the way I felt because firstly I was already bothered about how to take care of grandpop when he sighs and worries about his discomfort and blah and then grandmop comes along and be herself (complain complain and ask same questions 1001 times etc). Double whammy! Anyway in a nutshell, the wise person told me early in the morning that grandmop upset that I brushed her aside that day, which I know was baddie bad bad :( ok i will...

Universal Studio

Thanks to YOG I got to enter Universal Studios @ Resorts World Sentosa ytd for free! Yes...rides were free and I had a $10 food & beverage voucher. Ok....sometimes I'm grateful that I'm a teacher because we are really one of the few professions who will enjoy such privileges :) Introducing the bevy of gorgeous ladies of Pei Hwa Sec : Miss Grace Tan, Miss Sophia Tan, Miss Shirley Tan and Miss Roslinda ! Don't you love the donkey ears???!!! WE WERE SERIOUSLY AMUSING OURSELVES IN THE SOUVENIR SHOP! Alright...this is the first but not my last time visiting U.S.S because I'll be going there again in Nov for my dept's learning journey. Don't ask me how we are going to think up PE lessons from visiting the theme park but miracles do happen! So after loosening the leash around the 51 kids whom we accompanied yesterday evening, the 6 female teachers (where are all the men??? tsk tsk...) went about to have a wild time of feasting on 20" pizzas, running after cart...
