Of Sports and Trains

Last Friday, wifey met Yilong for dinner at Star Vista. It was his belated birthday treat. I stayed home to vacuum and mop the floor after dinner at Ah Pang with folks.


Whenever possible, I would like to finish up the chores on Friday nights as it would mean that I do not have to worry about them over the weekend. Also, doing chores at night with the radio on feels cooler and more relaxing to me.

Wifey came back much earlier than i expected that night.

I also laid a lizard trap to trap a lizard which has been hiding beside my window grill for the longest time. Boy am i glad to see this on Sat morning

Saturday morning, I went for my soccer at AMK.



It has been rather long since my last game there. Reached there just in time for the start and had quite a good workout with the lads.

Wifey met her mom for breakfast and then to an interview near Clarke Quay. After my game ended at 12+, I went over to Hougang to return Joshua his webbing . Wow.. from AMK MRT Station to Bishan (Circle Line) and than walk to take another line to Serangoon (North east Line) and from there another train to Hougang... nearly got lost in transit.
After returning the webbing, I went for lunch at KangKar Mall. I ate seafood hor fun. From there, I proceeded to take train (again) to Sengkang and than from Sengkang, i took the LRT to Farmway and walked over to the sports complex.

It was quite a nice place with a huge swimmimg complex, restaurants, badminton court integrated . A bit like SAFRA clubhouses. Played badminton with some of the unit bro/sis until 5pm and than Jasmine send me home while they went to Queensway to get new shoes.

Wifey and myself than joined them for dinner at Alexandra Village and after dinner we walked abit at Anchorpoint before heading home.

Sunday after church, we went to beach road to have Bak Kut Teh lunch. We were discussing with Alex and Jiayun about their wedding over lunch. At night had dinner at home while watching Gulliver’s Travel on TV.
It was quite a nice show.

Foot Reflex and a Hike

Last Fridays evening, I secretly arranged a foot relexology session for wifey and myself at Sole Relax. Bought the package from Groupon at $48 for 2 pax for a 40mins foot reflex plus 20 mins of back massage.

I kept it a from wifey and only revealed to her at the last minute. The foot reflex was painful and both of us were enduring the pain throughout. Wifey got a more chatty messeur and he was doing most of the talking.. hehe.
After the session, we went to have dinner at the coffeshop at Lorong Mambong. We ordered a sambal stingray and ladyfingers. I found it quite nice but wifey does not really really the ladyfinger as its too soggy. After that, we went home.

Saturday morning, we went for hiking at Bukit Timah Hill. Seems like its my first time there and we took the yellow route (or was it the green one?) Anyway, the hike itself was manageable as some of us ( me , wifey, Judy , David, Liyin and Cindy ) took the easier way which is to walk the slope. One thing good is that the weather on that day was fantastic. Nice and balmy… ;)

when walking down a steep slope...lean back

 We finished the hike in about an hour or so and went for lunch at Bukit Timah market then went home to rest. Dinner was steamboat at at Ah Pang. Tried to cook an omelette but i think i have burnt their steamboat. At night, we attempted to finish Jiayun’s puzzle but managed only to complete about 75% of it. It was so tiring to complete a puzzle, ended up sleeping about 2+ a.m @@

Sunday , went for service and this is the first time in many many weeks the whole LG is present. Its good to see everyone again. In the afternoon I brought Matt and Mick for their soccer practice but too bad the training was cancelled on that day, what a coincidence. My first time bringing the kids and the session was being called off because the field was locked.

At night, wifey and myself went to Vivocity. She bought 2 pairs of jeans from Kitschen and we also used up both our vouchers from the tray return campaign for our dinner. Firstly was the delicious Grilled Taxes Chicken, than followed by the humongous Carl’s Jr portebello mushroom burger . It was like a 2.5X whopper.. good thing we shared everything. It was very nice though. Always good to use vouchers. Oh and she also tried on a Chelsea jersey, very cool indeed.

We then walked around Vivo for awhile more and than decided to head home, only to realise that it was showering outside! No wonder it was so cold in the mall…

With Mike and Sulley

Last evening, wifey and I went to have our dinner at Harbourfront Foodcourt. We shared a set of korean fried beef and kimchi soup. It was a simple and nice dinner because it has been some time since we had that. Finally wifey got to satisfy her craving.
After dinner we walked over to Vivocity and saw Mike and Sulley... took a picture with them and ta-da! here it is ...
 I like this picture because its colourful and cute. Nice evening with wifey...
