Good Friday long weekend holidays was a fruitful and exciting break for me! heehee... had programs lined up on both Fri and Sat. HOWEVER, due to my laziness, i have no photos to share as yet. still awaiting patiently for LI HUILIN to send me the photos taken for our gathering on Fri. once i received, i will upload all photos for both days' events onto the blog. rite now, juz have a read at our activities.
on Fri, the Spice gang met up for buffet lunch. our reservation was at 11am at Noble House. so being ambitious, i told them to meet at 10.30am at Tanjong Pagar MRT. haha... knowing all of our usual pattern of being late, i still took the risk to ask for such an early meeting time. in the end, within my expectations, ALL of us were LATE! haha... we only managed to reach Noble House restaurant at abt 1115am. lucky they din cancel our reservation ah. reason for us to go so a-tas to go for buffet lunch cos it was meant to be a combine bday treat from Jas and Lin together with my 1st pay treat. so we went for buffet and it was a really good experience. the dishes were yummy, ingredients were fresh and taste was juz rite. we cleared almost every dishes we ordered and we even had 2nd order for some yummy ones like the poached prawns, diced beef. when it came to dessert, we had a really scary order list sia... 1st round of order list was 3 bowls of herbal jelly, 5 bowls of mango pudding, 5 bowls of honeydew sago. guess wat? Lian and Lin had a serving of each of the dessert! haha... then we went for 2nd round of dessert with 5 bowls of honeydew sago, 2 bowls of mango pudding and 1 bowl of herbal jelly. YES! in the end, Lian had the most bowls of dessert! salute her ah! whahaha...
after lunch, we went for some indoor exercise. 1st stop was to Marina Square bowling centre for some bowling. donkey years since we lasted played bowling together. we had a good time laughing at one another, had a good time teasing at one another's "drainage clearing skill". overall, it was a very energetic session. we all played well and we did put in effort not to get too many ZEROs. heehee... 2nd stop was to the arcade centre next door. oso long time nv play arcade games together. well well, me and jun played the knocking game and we got so violent tat the whole machine shifted position! haha... & my hands got all red playing the smacking game. we had a race at the daytona car race. all these certainly brought back many fond memories. after much nua-ing here and there, we ended our gathering with lots of smiles, happiness and laughter. it always take us abt 1 mth to plan a gathering with full attendance so we had to decide on our next gathering now. not too kua zhang as all of us r having commitments here and there and such early planning can "book" everyone 1st. :D
on Sat, i went for a farm tour with my grandma, aunt YY, cousin SW, her husband - WK & my lovely niece, Lynnette. pleasant day for outdoor activities. Lynn had a good time running around the Aeroponics Farm (vege). when we reached the Fish Farm, we saw many big and small fishes. Lynn was so fascinated by the big sized fishes. we fed the fishes and they were surely hungry sia. all of them opened their mouths so wide and BIG! there were turtles in the pond, so we fed them as well. most of them were actually doing sun-tanning so we tried to distract their lovely sun-tanning session by luring them with the food. haha... it surely works when one by one, each of them slowly discard their sun-tanning position. :) when we reached the Goat Farm, i tot we can go in the barn for a walk. however, due to AVA regulation, such barn walk is no longer allowed. so juz too bad tat Lynn cannot get a close up look @ the goats. i had a close up look @ the goats a few yrs back when we brought our kids from Mentoring club for outing. Lunch was at Poison Ivy. all food served was fresh and organic. very original taste and healthy. pleasant outdoor seating arrangement which allow the customers to enjoy their meals even when the weather is rather hot with sorching sun. day ended with tiredness and happiness. Lynn had a fun time, i had a good time too.
Sun was housework day. spent the whole day doing laundry, sweeping floor and mopping floor. really became auntie maria ah. haha... but after 2 days of fun, i shld do some work to balance up. :p
*i realised without photos, i seems to tok too much ah. hahaha... paiseh for the long winded-ness*

after high tea, we went to Brother's house as Cousin SW has not been to his house before. & there is a piano at Brother's place. so being the one who is most musician inclined in our family, Cousin SW started to play us a piece of music. Lynn saw wat her mum did, she follow suit. she took a small chair and sat next to her mum and started to play on the piano. of cos her playing is not as pleasant as her mum's but for the great effort from a 2.5yrs old girl, a round of applause, pls!!! haha...
