A GooD WeekEnD!
The weekend is now over and looking back, it was totally fantastic. I think I should continue from where I last ended my previous post.
Ok, I rushed from home to Bedok MRT. I thought I will be early, but E and D were already there when I reached. So went to take Bus Number 2 to Changi Village. Turns out that E had to take cab over cause he went to the wrong bus stop... Anyway, it was a long wait for the bus, and an even longer journey for the bus to get there. We finally reached there at around 1230, and since we were all starving, we crossed over to the food centre to eat.
We all ate the Nasi Lemak there. It was totally fantastic, and worth the time we took to queue for it (20 mins to be precise). The chicken wing was crispy and the meat tender, the otah was good, the chilli was brilliant, and everything else fits in perfectly. Only problem was that the rice was a bit too little. Well, it's definitely worth the $3.50 that we paid.....
Anyway, we went to take the bumboat ride over to Ubin. Wah, it is all now centralise under the Changi Village Ferry Terminal, which is so much better than the past. Its like now all shelter with a waiting area as well as police officers on duty and there were even rides to Johore. That's something I never knew! Well, the good thing is that the ride is still as cheap as last time, a healthy $2.
Pulau Ubin still looks the same as the last time I was there (a good 3 years back), and the management office is still there. We walked around the village, went to the quarry, hike a min 2km and snap photos here and there. Oh yea, we also paid our respects to the Dua Pek Gong Temple there. Hopefully all our luck has improved by now.
We stayed until around 230, then we went back to mainland. After that, it was a mad rush home for all of us for the night's main event.
Yup, I reached AMK MRT station at 5, and boy, it was so normal to realise that over half of us were late. By the time the guy who was supposed to bring us there reached, it was already 545. Haiz....my friends ar......Anyway, we went to NTUC to buy Yomeishu for aunty (she's treating us to dinner and some more still need to give us ang baos, so better give her a present or else not nice la....), before we finally made our way to E's house.
Boy, was his house crowded man! Ok, lucky it was big (2 3-rm flats joint), so it was able to accomodate close to 20 of us comfortably. Well, we sat around, chit chat, met all the future in-laws (haha), before we finally settled to dinner. It was totally sumptous, with abalone and clams and big prawns and Foochow fishball, chicken, satay, etc.... Great and marvelous!! But there were so many of us that we had to split into 2 shifts to eat.
After that played Mahjong...Seems to me that my luck still hasn't improved, because I lost the most (and I even zha Hu...sux!!), or maybe because all the others older than me, that's why their luck outshone mine...Oh well, but I din't lose much, only around$13, so still ok la....can still survive, at most 1 week no canteen food lor... Anyway I hate to play mahjong with people talking to me by the side, quite irritating and distracting...hmmm.......maybe that's why I lost la! People should keep quiet man! And I just realised the different between beginners and experts.....beginners just aim to win as many times as possible, while experts aim to win as big as possible. Guess that affected my rhythem so maybe that's why I lost.. But it's ok, just treat it as gift to charity...Haha~
Anyway I got home at around 4 (took cab), then slept till Sunday morning 9 plus, then had to go to Bright Hill temple to pay respects to my grandma. After that went to Chinatown to meet the Geppers (irritating man, that stupid Lips who don't know what exactly is People's Park Complex and his lame assumption that the whole world know the Yong Tau Foo at Chinatown). Well, we sang KTV at Kster and its quite cheap, I must admit...But the sound system sucks to the core. I thought it sounded weird and its kind of difficult to hear yourself at times. So I think I shall continue to stick to Partyworld and Kbox in future...Seriously speaking, I thought they wanted to go to Tea Lovers House, which was just further down the road, but too bad....Lips and his planning...
Anyway that's the great weekend I had this week. Going to start learning driving next saturday morning. Hopefully I will be safe and sound through out my whole future driving life, and that all those accidents will not befall me! Wish me luck!
