Outing to Future Of Us Exhibition at Gardens By The Bay

Managed to meet  up with our poly peers just before the end of 2015. It's been a long time since we last hung out with full strength, the last gathering with the presence of 5 of us was in April 2015. Wow, that was like 8 months ago. Everyone is busy with their own stuffs - studies, work, travel etc. Time flies without us knowing.

We met up for lunch at The Coffee Bean @ Marina Square. The standard was quite disappointing for both the food and drinks. Initially we wanted to eat Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe, but we discovered it has been closed down.

After our lunch, we made our way to Gardens by the Bay. On our way, we past by The Float and saw all the Wishing Sphere in the sea. They looked so beautiful floating on the sea.

We were here for The Future of Us’ exhibition.

‘The Future of Us’ exhibition is an immersive and multi-sensory experience that offers a glimpse into the possibilities of how Singaporeans can live, work, play, care and learn in 15 years time, 2030.

The Future of Us exhibition features the future of Singapore in six immersive and interactive zones.

Immerse in a show projected on LED screens.

In the zone for 'Home Tomorrow'.

A glimpse of the changes in our committees and daily life.

It was a pretty short exhibition, we finished touring within half an hour for the indoor.

Time to proceed outdoor for The Lion Playground.

The adult got super excited at the sight of swing. Steffi was the one to go.

We took turn to play with the swing, reminiscing the childhood times. It was so hard to find swing in playground nowadays.

I was the second to go.

Mix feeling about growing up. How I wish I could be young again where my life is carefree and my only worry is to score well for exam. Life has become complicated when you grow up.

Christine was next. 

She was always camera ready. Knowing I was taking photo of her, she paused to let me have a photo.

We decided not to halt the swing for too long there are kids who wanted to play with it.

OOTD with the ladies and the lion.

Enjoying our time spent together. Though we didn't see each other often, my friendship are still as close as ever. No awkwardness between us.

Chan Lin, Christine and Steffi.

With my beloved Grace. 

She is someone whom I can count on when I encounter problems.

The girls were standing in their rightful position according to height - do, re mi.

Chan Lin and I got a solo picture of our own.

With Christine.

Since the time was still early, we decided to pop by to visit Christmas Wonderland which was also inside Gardens by the Bay.

We walked to the Christmas Wonderland.

Steffi kept telling us that she wanted to take the Carousel. Sadly, it will not be open until evening time.

Nothing much to see in the day time.

Shall end my post with a stunning landscape of Gardens by the Bay.

This is how I wish my weekend will be. Enjoy quality time spend with friends over a meal and outing. 

Thanks for reading.

Christmas Celebration 2015

December is one of my favourite month because it is the month of festive. With Christmas and New Year approaching, it's the time for a feast and celebrate theses special occasions. Time to shop for gifts for all the special friends.

Wednesday 16/12/15

Began my first Christmas celebration in the office. My bosses and team leads have chipped in to sponsor this Christmas party for our unit. Thank you bosses.

We went down half an hour early to set up the place and get all the food ready.

Ivy helped to cut the ham for everyone.

What is Christmas without log cake?

We have our log cake from Royal Plaza on Scotts. It's dark chocolate log cake and it has a rich taste.

Apple and grape flavour of sparkling drinks.

Honey Glazed Chicken Ham was purchased from Delifrance. The ham was accompanied with tangy pineapple sauce which we poured in the cup.

Pizza Hut.

I was right not to eat too full for lunch that day, I just have oats and biscuits for lunch. Save my tummy for the Christmas party. We have a nice one hour session eating, now that I was too full for dinner.

Sunday 20/12/15

I'm back to Toa Payoh two days in a row. I was here yesterday for an event and today I was here for a Christmas lunch with my lovely clique. GF introduced us to Krazy Salad Bar. It was our first time patronising the restaurant (all except for GF) and we love the place very much. I foresee myself going back there again.

Initially when GF proposed the idea of having our Christmas lunch at Krazy Salad Bar, my immediate reaction was like "Oh man, we are going to just have salad for lunch? We are all meat eater, you know?"

She assured me that there is main course available and we won't be having just salad. 

KRAZYSalads is a semi buffet concept restaurant offering great value for money main courses and wide salads spread. Each of us ordered a main course each. The price of the main course is about $20++.

I started off with the all-time-favourite mushroom soup, added some wanton stripes in it too. It tasted delicious, I wanted to go for second round for the mushroom soup if my tummy still have room for it later on.

Ryden ordered this seafood set for sharing. Thanks Ryden.

I have Uncle Krazy's Chicken Chop.

The old fashioned style chicken chop with mushroom sauce together with potato wedges and onion rings.

The chicken chop was juicy good and the portion was just nice.

I was really full after finishing the main course. No room for second round of soup because I needed to save the space for dessert.

Soft serve chocolate and vanilla mix ice-cream.

Mandatory group photo before we left. Thanks Jasmine for the photo.

From left to right: Meryl, Fif, Terence, GF, me, Jasmine and Ryden.

We had a great 2 hours lunch. Let's do it often, we have already set our next meeting date for the next month.

Playing with Fif's fisheye len.

This is good for photo taking if you have a large group of friends.

Received the loves from my clique.

Thanks for the gifts, receiving gifts always make me happy.

With the festive season approaching, it also means 2015 is coming to an end. Another year has gone, it's time to reflect what I have achieved in 2015 and what I want to achieve in 2016.
