& free flow it was at NTUC BM, yesterday while doing grocery shopping. Haha the thing about us Singaporeans is to pounce onto anything we see free. What else the best things in the world are free right? lol aha.. ya if you wondering why am I grocery shopping again you guess that right if you’ve been following the previous posts, mom jus wants me to carry stuff home for her!.. dang!

Went for my bi-weekly 12km jog at tiong bahru park last evening, this time clocking in about 60mins on the run, breathing through my nose all the way. Currently everything looks set in progression towards the stand-chart marathon in december. Now if only I can wake up early to go for track & field training…

Its quite a fast week after the chalet late last week. Still yet to find time to put all the photos online. It was quite interesting depsite the rude fact that wild wild wet was closed for the MONTH for renovations (maybe possiblity adverting another “fantasy island style closure” & the discovery that Escape theme park is ONLY open on weekends! ARGRH! so guess it more time on the xbox, Ps2 we brought in & arcade. Mmm, mentioning arcade its thru this sudden availablity of free time during the chalet where I get to try out & master the konami arcade game- Precussion Freaks & man I guess I am good! scoring A’s on the begineer level after only 2 virgin plays. heyhey! guess its another game I would see myself playing more often besides DDR haha. Anyway, feast yourself with some pictures from the chalet!

Whoa BBQ!	Synco-swimming?	Happy Bday Andre! (waterbombs ready…)

On a sidenote, had been trying the game 2nd-Life for about 2 weeks, & I say its quite an interactive game where we get to create stuff in game & sell them for real money! whee! there even a life exchange rate for the in-game currency, whats more joining is free now, if you are interested, just leave a comment or contact me & I will invite you to the community.

Mmmm if only I can convert the money I earn in counter-strike to real cash.. *snicker*

It comes a time in Singapore, where a driver will go ultimately go through the ritual to take down the probation plate after obtaining his/her driving license for one year. As scared as it can be as putting it up initially, its a day I had been long counting down too… haha! YEA BABY! its time! Today! 8th of OCT! whee whooo! no more newbie sign. Watch out DRIVERS!

With that I would like to reflect on my rather safe & accident-free 1st year. & so will it be for as long as I drive.

cheers

Well, thats the case this evening at the Breeks cafe, HabourFront. I ordered my usual double servings of fish & chips + baked rice while dad got his chicken thigh set, Sheena with her baked pasta & mum with her chicken baked rice. Everyone was happily eating when I started on my 2nd serving - baked rice after my finishing my fish & chips… So after going thru like, one third into the 2nd dish, I was rather amusingly greeted by a well baked baby cockroach sandwiched & perfectly moulded into the rice… Well as the saying goes: whats worst than seeing a worm in your apple? - a half bitten worm of course! Thank goodness it wasn’t the latter!

We reflected the bug to the staff, where I guess an autopsy was conduct in the kitchen thereafter. The manager was very traumatised by the the matter, he came to our table & kept explaining all things from kitchen management, how it possibly went in, their monthly extermination with pestbusters, etc. I guess the issue was quite controversial with the staff & such, as they were like, you know, kinda “scared” as they approach our table thereafter, fearing that we might bite their heads off with a complain to the environment ministry… haha just say they were very apologetic… & they approached us in a rather professional manner, which is a good thing I guess.

Personal, I am one who grew up with creepy crawlys, not only kept them as pets before but ate crickets & bugs overseas too, so no big deal. Usually I the kind ok with an occasional hair or so in a bowl of soup, with the except of flies & I guess lizards of course, being potent bateria taxis. In all, we had 6 dishes, but we only paid for 4, so thats 2 on the house plus an additonal ice cream set for dessert- on the house. Luckily I was sharp, then mum mentioned that, I was infact rather sharp in eating my food, stating that if there were ever a roach in her food, she won’t know, as she would have eaten it already!

On our way back home we came to conclusion in a rather comical manner, saying that “the cockroach which sacrificed itself for a baking demise actually did it for quite a “good cause” - for our pockets that is, saved about $21 in all. Now jus hope I don’t make frequent trips to the toilet soon…

I got myself a 65cm gym ball at the habourfront Aibi store! whee! bounces, bounces, bounces…

Oh yea & to all those still running the 168km all-around-singapore, all the best, I salute you.
