Short Rendezvous: 22 - 26 May 2010

What we were up to over the looooong weekend!
We went in search of insects at the park after leaving the little boy with the groomers. That gave us a good 3 hour to catch up with each other  with some crawlies. -___-"

They say there's always a woman behind every successful man.

There I was. Right behind. Capturing his photog moments :)

Back to rendezvous days with the Jap bestfriends whom we won many pictionary with! Cos in Atsu's words, "although I can draw well, we lost due to our limited vocabulary.."
*heehee*

His words holds true to this!!
Guan Yin well drawn eh? Here, he was trying to illustrate to us how the brand CANON came about! It was actually derived from Guan Yin! The man behind canon must have been a Buddhist!

And a chronogical documentary of our merry making rendezvous..

Day 1 - Sunset Grill and Pub, Chomp Chomp

Biru, many glasses of milk and water (not in pic)
The first plate of Buffalo wings - Level 1. Atsu is a very ambitious man. He wanted to try level 30/35 when we told him about the board of honour!! Lucky we convinced him to try out level 1 and 3 first...
Bottom left: level 1
Bottom right: level 3!!! (Looks the same but damn HOT!!)
We stopped at 3 and headed Chomp Chomp for more local delights cravings..


Day 2 - Kovan, Hougang Mall, My House, Red Star, Marina Barriage, Geylang

Breakfast at their favorite chicken rice stall in Kovan. The whole hawker centre was closed down for renovations but luckily the chicken rice stall is one of the fewwww stalls that rented a space in the makeshift hawker... *whew*

There was also an oyster omelette (not in pic).

Then we headed Hougang Mall for some Or Nee! (Mari's fave!!) and to my house to see the little baby :)

Luncheon was done in Red Star, another one of our faves cos of its traditional setting. The waitresses push the dimsum carts around!
Atsu's first time there. Cos Mari's attempt to bring him there failed ;p she only remembered it was near diving school and within a HDB.. hahaha..So they had a hard time trying to find THAT correct HDB while riding around...

We headed to Marina. Stopped at Peninsula and Funan for the 2 men to accomplish their work. Atsu's office work and N's camera lust. Bagged the better tripod, though it was way above our budget. N&I always set a budget before a purchase but always fail to adhere strictly to it.. -__-" like that how to save up for marriage??!!

Anyways, it served its good purpose IMMEDIATELY! So good buy! :)
Brought it to the rooftop carpark and monkeyed around. That's when we realised his camera has a function for 10 consecutive shots. TEN!!! TEN leh!!! U can do 3 jumps within a take!!

Then we headed to the Barrage. Jap's first time, not amazing. Our first time too, amazing not? o_O

Aim of the day was to get good sunset shots. So we wait.... and had a cuppa in the Cafe. Yes, picnic-goers. There is a cafe there! :)
Right before sunset. A coupla more monkey shots with the TEN shots function. :):):):):)
Reminisce!

An attempt to do a dragon shot ;p

And the paparazzi in me... ;p
Sunset done, we headed to more FOOD!!
GEYLANG!! Beef horfun!
That wasnt all. there was also a Yam ring and another plate of vege (not in pic)
The xxx th time we went there for dinner. There were many done with their friends and families when they visited Singapore. That said, we realised that we havent been to any of the places that we had been frequenting with the Japs. Think we got boring after they left *heh*

Day 5 - Vivocity, Airport
Visited National Geographic to document down some antiques for Atsu. :) The man flew off that morning for another country.. Mari's flight was at night.. So we had a farewell dinner and sent her to the airport..
Last dinner in Singapore (for this time round) had to be a local fare! So Republic Foodcourt is the answer! Where else to get Bah Kut Teh and Laska together to satisfy Mari's cravings?! :)
Of course it didnt just stop at Bah Kut Teh and Laksa... There was sucha huge spread of local fare! We had to get morrre! :):) Popiah, braised trotters and chinese rojak.

And since we had time, some desserts and chillax. New place in Vivo! We like!! :)
Happy with our yummy and beautiful cakes :)

***THE END***

To be continued in in the later half of 2010 :)
