Another day.....

Juz came back from dinner with morgan, munyi & rach @ beach road.... had bak kut teh at one of the many shops there..... din actually coordinate to meet up with them today, as me & rach were @ orchard earlier on before gng down to Siglap to try out the Cheesecake Cafe which we have been craving for so long...... and it did not disappoint..... the menu is in a innovative form of a DVD casing.... and there are so many varieties of cheesecakes for us to choose from, tried the fresh mango cheesecake (new variety) & peach with jelly cheesecake, both taste excellent and leaves one craving for more...... the deco is nicely touched up and ambience is good..... with nice cosy sofa if u managed to get it ..... =) definitely will be going back again...... strongly recommended...... back to the dinner, received their msg at 7 plus asking for coffee and arranged to meet up @ beach road after their work at 8pm..... always fun and nice to have them around..... some photos to share taken @ the cafe using my handphone......








feeling quite relax during these few days of leave, watching Dvds, sleeping, eating, playing with my PSP, laptop and reading..... shiok..... met up with munyi, morgan (ya, again, hahaha), samuel and adrian on tues at vivo to catch the "Jumper", not too bad but a bit short and lack of explaination on certain parts...... makes me wish to have tat special power to teleport , anytime & anywhere...... =) all rite, 2 more days to enjoy the sun @ phuket and enjoy the weekends folks...............

Time Flies......

Finally on leave till 5th of march, will be gng on my phuket trip on 2nd mar with my batch mates...... will take this time to re-energise myself yet again..... been working hard during the juz ended Singapore Airshow 2008, heavy traffic before and after every airspace closure.... kudos to all my fellow colleagues =) ...... next event will be in 2010, the year which we will also be hosting the Youth Olympics......


Woke up in the late afternoon today after coming home from work..... mum told me that there are a num of new eateries which just opened today @ JP, suggested that we go and try it out together with rach & valerie since valerie is gng back tonite after her one month stint at SGH..... went down around 5plus together with bro after his work, went into one of the new outlet which is a 24hr "Cha Chan Teng", not much deco, quality of the food was only so-so compared to others...... but maybe its their 1st day thus some of the stuff (e.g my favourite siew mai) was not available......







After dinner, went back to collect valerie's luggage before gng down SGH to get her stuff which she left behind...... reached airport around 8plus, sat down @ Mr Bean to have some dessert and gossiping before she checked in at 9pm..... def will be missing her joining our makan outings and late night coffee..... (p.s : valerie, we will be waiting for ur good news.....)

Singapore Airshow 2008


Went to the Singapore Airshow 2008 this morning after work, had our breakfast @ BK in T2 before making our way there...... there was already alot of people by the time we reached there...... went over to their static display area to check out on the various types of aircraft (civil & military) and some photo taking..... the hot weather discourage us from staying under the hot sun for too long and we promptly made our way inside the exhibition hall..... lots of aviation industry big players could be seen advertising and promoting their products as this is the last 2 days of the trade invite.....









"Bravo-rians"

"we make it possible"


Waited for the flying display to start at 12.15pm, we kept looking out for the last dep from changi as the airspace got to be closed before the flying display could commence...... when the commentator announced the beginning of the display, all the spectators were waiting in eagerness for the star of the display, the "Black Knights"..... the atmosphere were totally different from Changi Tower, get to see them in close proximity with them leaving trails of smoke and not forgetting the thundering decibel they produced........ din stay on for the Aussie's "Roulette" display though......will be watching the display again from Changi Tower when working this weekend...... got sunburnt as a result of the sunny weather and below are some photos of the Black Knights.....





"cupid"



Today is the last day of the CNY and also "元宵节", hereby wishing everyone 元宵节快乐, met up with rach for dinner at Sunset Way. Quite a number of nice restaurant and cafe were situated there and we decided on Cafe D'Orient, a typical Hong Kong cafe, nice deco and setting, food was not too bad..... enjoy the weekend, folks...... =)
