Monday, 19th May - Happy Vesak Day

last night went for barbeque... for the first ever, the bbq was not held at the beach, nor was it at anywhere specially for bbq, it was at a HDB block, not on the ground floor, but at the ninth floor... imagine bbqing at ninth floor, where you can overlook the surrounding... didn't eat much as i was still recovering from the flu... henry, nicholas was there also, mark and samuel went to meet us later for pool and bowling... we went to play pool after registering our name with the bowling centre because it is full... for unknown reason, after playing pool, we went to the bowling centre and just nice, it was our turn... after the first game, mark and nicholas went home first because they cant stay out late.. then jian hua left after the second game... during the third game, we lost the mood to play, because we are too tired already... eventually i won the first and second game but lost the third game to henry... haiz, have to share cab with henry to go home, 50% surcharged, so exexex.....

then this morning 8am went to macritchie reservoir with my grandparents, auntie linda and her hubby and uncle johnny family as well...we have diffculty finding parking space and have to park somewhere near the private estate a distance away... the weather was very warm and everyone was sweating badly, many uneven upslope and downslope along the way which make the hiking even more fun... my grandma has to stay at a shelter area as she get too tired to walk any further.. the rest of us then proceed to a suspension bridge... saw many monkeys along the way chasing each other, practically seeing my mum around the forest.... know what its mean??? hehe...

the ant near the center of picture is incredibly big, about 1.5cm... we saw another even bigger one, twice as big as this... imagine it bite on your skin, your flesh will be twice as swollen?? by the time we finish the whole journey, it was already close to noon and everyone was tired and hungry...

going to bowling after the walk, but before that, we need to replenish our energy, LUNCH!!!!! we have lunch at yishun and went orchid country club for bowling... bowling again right?? i just went last night, bowling twice in less than 12 hours... haiz, lost to uncle johnny for the first two match and eventually won him in the third game... his score was 138, 134, 136, very constant right with a average of 136... mine was 132, 121, 157 with a average of 133... even my average lost to him... :(

byebye,

weekends over :(
