Beyond Sunday

Today was sunny when we left home at around 1130 hours. By the time we reached Orchard at around noon, it starts to rain. Anyway, the rain soon stops. Well, actually I had totally forgotten when was the last time we had gone out, let alone go shopping on a Sunday. Haha... Sunday is our nua day where we do nothing and rot at our own home. But this Sunday is different as my dear needs to search for her white dress to attend a friend's wedding. And I.... keke.. was hoping that somehow, we would end up at Plaza Singapura later that afternoon.

As it turns out, shopping in the early morning seems fun. Most of the shoppers are tourists and yeah, we actually felt that we were tourists too. Had fun shopping but after walking thru' Orchard, still cannot get the white dress.

However, I got my wish! We ended up at Plaza Sing!! Haha... why Plaza Sing excites me is because two members of Beyond, Ah Paul and Ah Wing would be there. Some of my friends who are Beyond's fans were already there. Haha nice to meet them again.

Hee... here are some pics......

We decided to wait for them somewhere before they go up the stage.

Quite a crowd of people were there too, mostly in their 30s and 40s. One auntie was there with her kid. However, there were also quite a few teens there too. Wonder how they got to know Beyond.

Haha... here we go again....

Here they come!!


Ah Paul walk right pass me and I managed to say "Hello" to him. Haha.. he responded by saying "Hello" back! This simple gesture makes my day.. haha....

Ah Paul and Ah Wing on stage. The emcee for the afternoon is Cruz Teng of FM93.3.

Ah Paul. In his 40s but still look young. No wonder Zhu Yin is still with him after so many years.. ha..

Ah Wing, hmmm, he has put on weight.....

Cuiyi, the gal holding the camera, is a Beyond fanatic, but very how lian. She stalked Ah Paul and Ah Wing to their hotel and managed to force them to take photo with her. Then she mms this photo to me to try and make me jealous. See, very how lian hor....

Peace.....

The duo later appears in Superband. However, their performance is truly disappointing, especially Ah Wing. He needs to sing with the help of a paper and yet he sings wrongly. But well, no matter what, they still got my support, although I will not be going for their concert this Nov.

:(

Big Win for Arsenal

Stayed up for the Champions League Match late last night. Definitely worth sacrificing my ahem beauty sleep for this match. The scoreline reads Arsenal 4 Porto 0 at the end of the match, but it could have been easily 8-0 or more.

1-0, 31 mins, Robin Van Persie

2-0, 40 mins, Adebayor

3-0, 48 mins, Robin Van Persie

4-0, 71 mins, Adebayor (penalty)

The match is very entertaining, especially the second half. Saw some brilliant skills displayed by the Arsenal players. Hope they can achieve some silverware this season.

Pre-Wedding Photoshoot

Finally got the DVD which contains some 2000+ photos of our pre-wedding photoshoot. Out of these 2000+ photos, we are to select some 50-55 photos for the album. Not going to be easy I guess... Anyway, here are some of the samples photos we got...

This photo was taken outside the studio at Linden Dr.

Hort Park....

Airport T3

Ben & Jerry, Dempsey Road

PageOne, VivoCity

Seriously, the photos did not come out as good as what I had expected. Maybe because in the first place, I had set pretty high expectation. Anyway, I think we should be able to select some really nice photos to be in the album. The rest of the photos, I think maybe we should spend some money and time to print them out and arrange them in our own photo album....

Our Bintan trip

This is pretty overdue.... but well, since when I am on time...

Here goes, Our Bintan Trip

Date : 06 Sep to 07 Sep

Place : Maya Sari Resort, Nariwana Gardens, Bintan

This is suppose to be a couple-trip with 5 couples going. In the end, a couple could not make it while one of the gals went alone, making our group 7 persons; Me, dear, JW, KT, TT, Andrew and NaNa.

This is our first time to Tanah Merah Ferry terminal; was surprise that there was a Killiney Kopitiam there. Well, at least I also know that this Killiney Kopitiam served sucky kopi.

Here are some photos.

The ferry that took us to Bintan.

Got us some beers before the trip.... In the end, we got to drink these beers as punishment because we cannot finished them......

Our ferry ride. Took a little more than an hour. The sea was choppy, making us sick.

First taste of the feeling of kanna tok. The food is expensive. We decided to share a portion as I do not want to become a carrot head. Our lunch which we waited for about 45 mins?

After lunch, we headed straight to the beach. The gals stayed under the shades, while the guys....

... took a dip in the sea. The water soon became choppy and the big waves comes in. That's when it is most fun... keke...

The next day...... Our breakfast was not too bad. They have a pretty good spread of food.

Took a photo outside our room. We are so into self-taken pics recently.. hee. The room is chalet style and is pretty cosy inside. Too bad we did not take a pic of the room.

Me; getting ready for another round of swim before we pack up and leave. Hmmm... where is my dear then???

Here she is! Enjoying herself under the coconut trees, as expected... Ha.. but well, she did join us for the beach volleyball. But let's see what is she looking at.....

.. oh the coconuts trees.. waiting for a nut or two to drop.


Took some time off from our volleyball game to fool around for the camera.

Soon comes the time we head home.

There is really nothing much to do at Bintan. We did try their Indonesian massage for about SGD32 for an hour at the Paseh Oleh Oleh. It was okie but left us with oily bodies... ha.

So, Bintan is a place whereby it is so so so commercialised. Everywhere you go, everything u does are meant for tourists. And this place is so darn expensive. They really think that it is so easy to earn our Singaporeans money. They will try to tok our money as much as they can. Be it in food or the water sports they offer. Nevertheless, we had a pretty good time there. The sky is blue, the sea is clear; something we do not get here in Singapore. Although the price is abit steep, this is one of the place to go if you just feel like doing nothing but go for a swim or a spa.

Singapore Flyers

Date: 04 Sep 2008, Thurs

As a Teachers' Day special, all MOE teachers get to enjoy free ride on the Singapore Flyers. Furthermore, friends of the teachers get to enjoy 25% of the regular ticket price. We decided to take up this offer and paid slightly more than $20 for both of us. I must said that although nothing great, it is worth the time and effort to try the Flyers at least once, just to get the feel of it. Anyway, the Flyers is damn inaccessible. There is a shettle bus there. But please lor, for those going there for the first time, they will not know where to take this bus lor.

Well, here are some pics taken during our rides.



Saw this wedding couple taking photos at the car park. Hee.. remind us of our own photoshoot the day before...

Nose to nose...

Guess what, the pic below is self-taken.

Soccer field at the Floating gallery... Heard they are planning for some soccer matches on this field... Hmmm wonder how many soccer balls will end up in the sea.

Pebblebay condo...

Our CBD...

After our ride which lasted about 25 mins, went for our dinner at Kenny Rogers. They changed their system of service. You do not order any more from the counter. You will be seated and then you order from their staffs. I still prefer ordering from the counter... Less waiting and no 10% service charge!

Lastly, went to lim kopi and had some cakes at TCC. Decided to make some faces...

In a few hours time, we will be leaving for Bintin for a short trip... Yahoooooo....

Photos!!

Some photos that were taken during our wedding photoshoot on 03 Sep 2008.

Here Jesslin, the make-up-artist is doing up the hair for my dear. Jesslin h'susband is the owner of a hair studio so she is also a good hairstylist. Actually, it is not easy to get a make-up-artist who is also a good hairstylist. This Jesslin is pretty pro, can change the style of hairdo in under a minute! Yap, no joke. She is good.


Now, its my turn. Just some powder on my scarred face and a simple hairdo.

My dear getting all ready in her wedding gown. She look gorgeous, don't you think so?

Putting on the final touches before the shoot starts.

We are all ready!! Beauty and her 白马王子. Wow haha...

Finally, a last photo taken after our photoshoot, while waiting for dinner to come. Hungry and tired...
Did not took much photos with our own camera. The rest of our photos are still with our photographer. Can't wait to collect our CDs with our pics.
