singapore flyer

thanks to amy for giving me the complimentary tickets.

the joke was shortly after i received the tickets in the mail, the flyer was shut down indefinitely. hehe... fortunately the tickets are still valid now.

didn't manage to take many pictures since it's raining tonight and the capsule glass surfaces are covered with condensation.

hmm... think it's a rather touristy attraction and i don't think many locals will go for it more than once. frankly speaking, i feel it's slightly over-priced at $29.50.

go and try it out if you've run out of things to do. :P

gerbera

estee's gerbera finally bloomed after more than 1 year.

a single, intensely red flower.
sweet.

treetop walk 2009

what do singles do on valentine's day?

go and hide in the nature reserves to avoid all the lovey-dovey couples in town. haha...

a nice way to spend the weekend not to mention breaking some sweat and having some fresh air. as usual, i took the shortcut and started from jalan lembah thomson.

nothing has changed since i firsted visited the treetop walk a few years back. as usual the trek ended with prata at casuarina. :)

dinner @ wong kok

have you tried this hong kong cafe at bugis junction? always wanted to try out this place but somehow never got round to it until today.

overall, find the food so-so only and not exactly value for money. the milk was special since i didn't expect ice-cream in it. the fishball in curry sauce wasn't spicy at all and the sauce doesn't even taste vaguely like curry. not sure if the dish is authentic 'cos i've not eaten this in hong kong.

hmm... i think i prefer 湾仔at imm or the original hong kong cafe at east coast road.

lunch @ pandan valley

pandan valley was this place that i passed by on my way to primary school but i've never been inside the condominium until today.

sl and jeff had just moved in and is hosting jcgang for lunch. although it's one of the largest developments in singapore, it was still quite peaceful on a sunday afternoon. however, things were different when the little ones started to arrive. haha...

everyone turned up except for eric and tracy who couldn't make it. the kids enjoyed themselves as usual.

me too since i got an angpow from johann and diane. hehe...

lunch @ 自然海鲜

i suggested having lunch here to celebrate mum's birthday. it's crowded as expected since it's 人日, luckily i made reservations.

we had 鱼生 in addition to their signature tofu and beancurd prawn dishes. overall, mum and dad were satisfied with the dishes. dad quite like the pork ribs which is very tender although the vegetable with mixed waxed meats which mum wanted to try didn't turn out well. the preserved meats were a bit tough.

the 干炒海鲜拉面 was a good alternative to the usual noodles to round up the meal. a pity we didn't have room for desserts.
