Terry Fox Run


Woke up at 6am this morning though it was raining cats & dogs to participate in the Terry Fox Run at Sentosa. The rain didn't dampen everyone's mood and it was still jam packed. In fact, we started the run 30mins late because of the shuttle bus queue.

Nonetheless we completed the 8km route. It was certainly a marathon of hope. Along the way, I saw 2 individuals with prosthetic leg covering the distance on crutches. The first one looked confident and strong. The second person looked like he's in pain and struggling... but he persevered on. ®un your own race...

Oktoberfest 2007

Basically Oktoberfest is a two-week festival held each year in Munich, Bavaria, Germany during late Sept & early Oct. It is one of the most famous events in Germany where beer plays a central role and are served in a Bierzelt, a beer tent which is large enough for thousands. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the Munich event. In S'pore, Oktoberfest was held over 4 days at The Swiss Club, in a similar tent & long bench setting.

Attended my first Oktoberfest on Friday night with colleagues and Gerald came along too since all staffs and spouse are given free tiks. Simply loved the atmosphere.. people standing on tables & benches to sing and dance along with the band.. Especially good to see some colleagues (who are usually pretty stony in office) let their hair down and party.

There's free flow of food.. simply loved the crispy but sinful pork knuckles and the rich chocolate pudding. Yummy! We were also given drinks coupon so we had 2 mugs of Erindger beer each. As usual, my face turned red after all the drinking so pictures have been censored.. hehe

Fulfilling Weekend..


Had lotsa fun over the weekend =)
Gerald and I watched a play on Friday evening. Venue was the Action Theatre at Waterloo Street.. very small place with a pretty nice & cosy courtyard. Since we've 2 extra tiks, Felice & Janice joined us too. We also bump into Joey & his fren at the theatre.. such a small world!

I quite like the concept of using white markers to draw on the black background to illustrate their thoughts. It only lasted about an hour. Basically its a low budget production.. a "2 men" show but it was pretty interesting and something different.. a refreshing change from catching movies on the big screen.

Had a good dinner after the play.. basically pig out at our fav supper spot again! =) Thereafter, we joined some frens for fishing near Tanah Merah terminal. Cheap thrill.. we only used a fishing line, attach a hook at the end of the line with some prawns as bait. As the fishes nibble on the bait, we could feel the fishing line vibrate in our hand! Hehe.. I actually caught a fish for the first time in my life! It was a very small silver fish.. smaller than a palm size. hee

On Saturday, Gerald & I had high tea at Equinox. Haven't been there with him for ages! Our first high tea there was about 8 years ago, when we first started dating. Could even remember the exact spot where we took pictures! I always loved high tea.. plenty of variety and good ambience to chat. =)

In the evening, we drove into Sentosa for pinic by the beach. No elaborate feast.. basically just 2 mats and drinks to enjoy the breeze and the company. Weather was good and we had a good time relaxing. Timing was amazingly good too cos we managed to catch fireworks from the Songs of the Sea effortlessly as we walked towards the beach.

A flower never fails to bring a smile to a gal's heart...



Thanks Jac! =)
