Roadtrip on Wheelies..

We did just that. My friend has a pair of foldable bikes kept at the back of the family car which her parents use to ride out at East Coast Park. She happen to drive the car today and wheee we headed off to Seletar Air Base. She, with blazing determination to desparately lose calories and me with burning passion to explore the air base. Perfect! Parked the car near Kingfisher Bar & Restaurant and cycled first to Sunset Grill & Bar on these cool little darlings.




There were lots of vacant buildings around, believe it used to be for military use. Set your directions to East Camp and you'll be en route to Sunset Grill. This place really doesnt feel like Singapore. You know your nearly there when you see these. I love the retro street lamps!

We reach our destination and rewarded ourselves with ice-cold beer and calamari. While walking, I spotted a pineapple growing off its bush!

Next, we headed off and cycled just about anywhere the road takes us. It's not in the pics but there was a street named Knight's Bridge. Sounds really medieval.

Clear skies, bare trees, there are houses with residents...mostly occupied by angmohs. Was informed the rental is at least 2k per month and you gotta sign up at least 2 years. Had crazy thought of renting one with some friends for couple of months. Split the rental, head off to work and come home to daily BBQs and hangout talks. With the huge gardens there, you can easily play volley, badminton or softball.

Dempsey I love you..
Yesterday evening I was whisked away by friends who snuck me to a seculded wine-dine watering hole The Wine Network hidden deep within dempsey road. Rustic and amid lush greenery, we chose alfresco and I could truely see stars. This is some cool place I'm determined to explore furthur in the day. There were standalone buildings which were deserted scattered across the dim compound. I wonder what's the story to this secret garden. We had pizza, chicken drumlets which when served hears cries of missy J exclaiming how the portion has shrunk. Also smoked salmon salad and washing all these down with a bottle of white. A red followed soon after and missy kept refilling my glass, before long I was flying.

High but not gone, though I clearly do not recollect seeing the waiter set the glass of warm water and piece of lemon in front of me. A turn of head and hey these items magically appeared. Times like these I know I could sleep forever, something which I've been seriously deprived of. They sent me home and I made a beeline for bed. It was only quarter to eleven and I totally knocked out, waking up at 4am to have the runs. I hate those. It didnt feel right at 4ish, my head was still spining and my tummy quisy. Drifting inbetween consciousness, I was worried about how I could drag my hangover body to work and stay upright for rest of the day. I must've squeezed in more solid sleep between that couple of hours, at half-past 8 I jumped right out and headed out to face the world. Thankfully most part of my hangover was gone, I just had more runs at work and couple before and during this blog entry. It sucked, now my tummy feels tortured as if I managed a million sit-ups. Nonetheless I found myself a new playground and this will certainly keep me busy for couple of weeks. The place reminds me of Sunset Grill & Pub, another rare discovery. It's not everyday you drive right up and park next to planes eh. It's in the plans to bring our bikes down and cycle out the vicinity. I might just do that for dempsy .

After discount...$6.90

Finally! I found the VCD yesterday at good ole Poh Kim and it was going for 50%! Happy... Wasted no time in tearing off the package and indulged myself in love,drama and death. Part of the reason why I was quite persistent in getting hold of this movie was reading that one of the actresses commited suicide in Feb last year. She died at the age of 25. What a pity right? I thought to myself, she's got everything going for her...career, looks and fame yet she chose to end her life. But guess all these could be the very reason that adds to her depression. Below are some pictures, guess it's quite easy to figure out who's the one.

Of Things Kimchi
Trying to get hold of this korean drama. This is a 2002 production, considering the korean wave here, surprisingly none of the shop staff approached heard of it...



Esther is back but only for the week. She's flying off again Monday morning back to her little Beijing apartment. Bernard's in HongKong, Michelle soon to be Australia, brother in NZ. Gee...picking out vacation spots should be quite a breeze for me.
Today's my first time meeting Tabby and it's really been awhile since I heard someone punctuate their lines with limpeh. I just burst out laughing. Its quite fun hanging out with people lidat for a change and I find the lian in me identifying with her.
