Fun Fun Fun

In a small country like Singapore, there isn't much room for all of us to roam about and the nearest getaway was indeed a long awaited one.

The blue sky, the sandy beach, the windy breeze and the sound of birds chirping, waves rushing to the shore and not forgetting the fresh air.

It's doubly worthwhile when you're indulging in all these with a bunch of buddies.

I think by now, you notice that like most Asian Chinese/Japanese gals, we like to pose with a peace V sign.

I have no idea why.


That's a question the boys frm UK asked me before which until now remains a puzzle.

Fun activities like cycling is part of the fun and exercise. However, 2 hours is really too much of a torture for my ass.

Not kidding, I swear!

There's something about the beaches. The effect beaches have on us. Is it the strong wind blowing our hair, the feeling of sand on our feet, the sound of the waves hitting the shore, the gals in bikinis....I think it's the view. The horizon we can see without any obstruction by high rise buildings.

What kind of relaxing holiday is considered complete if food is not part of the agenda??
The evening began with our food hunting with at the hawker stalls with just $50.

Sann does not let food wait and the only exception she'll make is when her photo is taken.

See how happy we were.

See how much $50 could buy.

See how much it took to feed us.


What a spread of happiness and joy!!!

Not forgetting the effort and kind gesture of our dear Sann with the super duper chewy juicy jelly lorr...besides being delicious, it's also an ART.

Of course, when our tummies were all filled up, the FUN began. Typically, Singaporeans spend their time best at a mahjong game.

(For the benefit of those who's not familiar with this local chinese game, Mahjong is a game of tiles with 4 different series of designs.) I'm not going to tell you how much I've learnt from this game but one thing is for sure, PATIENCE is required. And also, a nice chair with cushion helps you go a long way.

VODKA,7-Up,CORONA and CARDS

After who knows how many hours of ass cramping and fingers flicking with the mahjong tiles, I'm proud to say that I have finally mastered the game...errr...I think.

It was my 2nd time at it and Shin was trying so hard not to stuff my face with the tiles as I kept on forgetting the rules and my turns.

So sorry, I'm still proud to say I only lost $8. What an achievement!!

With that, the final session began. Card game. Simple and sweet.

Simple cos you just have to pick a card and place it above your head and pour the amount of alcohol you wish the loser to drink.

Sweet cos if your card is the lowest number, you get to drink the sweet vodka+7up.

Left:-Shin had the luck of a.....we were just speechless.
Right:- Not such a superman after all...

Who's got THE lowest?Sam helped to drink
I think the photos speak for themselves. I don't need to elaborate more except that our dear Shin might have been the biggest winner of Mahjong, she was certainly equally the biggest drinker for the card game.

Here come the PEACE signs again

Having a good time is not compulsary. It's just simply a NEED.

Living in Asia, we work as if we own the business. We work at such longer hours than the rest of the world and we get peanuts.

Then, if we don't work as hard, we get peanuts shells. Sometimes I wonder why don't we learn to just live with peanut shells. Some people who's got lotsa peanuts don't even have the time to crush the peanut open to get to the nuts.

Anyways, enough with peanuts before you think i'm going nuts. I just wanna learn to let go certain things and adapt to just being content with peanut shells and having the time of my life crushing them with my bare feet.

Thanks, gals, for the memory.

I sure hope everyone of you out there are blessed with the same luxury.
