Cafe Les Amis

Date: 2 April 2005 (Saturday)

4 of us went to the cafe last Saturday. It was raining a little, and we were inside this cutsy little 2-door subaru vicki ( i think), which apparently took some time to start.. the poor little thing had to contend with the weight of all 4 of us, climbing the slopes of SMU all the way to Botanical Gdns. It was one of the most amusing rides (one other being the ride i took when i was 6+ on my uncle's scooter, i was scared stiff and according to mum, my face turned green after the ride... haha). the other cars whizzed past us, as the needle on the speedometer struggled to climb a notch a second..

The food there was not bad, but it really is quite pretty. a rather yuppie place to hang out, amongst the expatriates and tourists. there was the sound of the rain, coupled with the sound of the water gushing down some plants next to the cafe. all in all, quite a nice spot away from the hustle and bustle of city life, with no hint of mossies (good work National Parks and NEA!!), and just a short cab ride to town. who's brilliant idea was it to have a garden at Cluny Road? Raffles? *salute*

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

Accident on Front St

Hao-e and i just witnessed a horrible freak accident on Front St. Tonight is the first Harbour Night of 2007, and we happened to be in town for dinner. After dinner, we walked along Front St looking at the stalls set up along the side walk. There were stalls selling jewellery, ice-cream, hand-crafts, pepper jam/sauce, soap etc. And there was quite a good crowd as well cos there were 2 cruise ships docked at the Hamilton harbour. When the gombey dancers started their performance, we stood on the side walk of Burnaby St watching, gaping and taking photos. All of a sudden this horse carriage with 2 horses just sped along crushing the crowds underneath. The horses trampled over and the carriage rolled over some ppl!!! Eeks, we were shocked beyond words, thinking it could have been us. The parameds came and took 4 on stretchers. It was horrible. Hope noone is seriously hurt.
