I was kidnapped

I was kidnapped... This afternoon, I received a call from my mum's colleague... He sounded very urgent...

The conversation goes like this:

Colleague: Hello. Are u alright? Where are u?

Me: I am good. At home now.

Colleague: Are u sure? I am so and so... What is your full name?

Me:Cy... What happened?!

Colleague: Ok... I will call u back again...

Seconds later...

Collegue: Hello... Call me back using your house phone number...

Me: Ok

I called back

Me: Hello

Colleague: Your mum just received a phone call saying that you owe a huge sum of money... So u are alright. ok... I know what to do...

I called my mum then know everything... My mum received a call from 'one of her sons' crying out loud "Mummy!! They keep hitting me!" Then the kidnappers told my mum that I was a guarantor of someone then that someone ran away... with $80k...

So now a police report has being made...

Lucky we got watch 'crimewatch' on tv

So people let this be a reminder that to stay clam in this situation. Use another phone to call ur loved ones to ensure their safety...

Thanks to my mum's colleague that everything is resolved...

Canopy, Bridge, Forest Walk

Susan, PW and I have being planning for this trip since last month... Am looking for it and the walk does not disappoint me at all... Let me take u for a walkthrough of the 9km walk...

We started at Kent Ridge Park


After the short canopy walk, we reach the Horticulture Park where there are a lot of beautiful flowers and a lot of small garden areas for small gatherings and pinic...





After the Hort park, we approached the famous Alexandra Arch Bridge... This is a very modern and beautiful bridge, which is connected to the tree top walk... When walking along the bridge, u will feel like u are walking on the clouds where u can see the top of the trees... Its an experience... Can go there for a jog sometime...






Next is another beautiful bridge called the 'Henderson Waves'... The view was fantastic... U will feel like u are not in Singapore... The use of basic colours such as brown(wood) and white(metal) is very soothing... Perfect Combination...





Next we reached Mount Faber Jewel Box... In case you are thirsty or ran outta water, u can purchase a bottle of mineral water here at a small store in front, but I recommend u NOT do it, cos it cost a FREAKING $2.50 PER BOTTLE... So bring your own bottle when you go for the walk...

After jewel box, after faber walk then after another trail which I've forgot about the name, we reached VIVOCITY!! Wooo... 9 km all and all from kent ridge to vivo...

It was a very relaxing walk... Its great for family outings... But BE prepared... Wear comfortably, bring water, umbrellas(if u are afraid of the rain or steep roads) and of course a good CAMERA!!! I will go there again for pictures and gatherings at hort park...

Outing on last Friday

Last Friday, PW and I went for a run at ECP... It has been such a long time since I step foot on the tracks of ECP... I started near the end of ECP where the new park is located, ran to the NSRCC then back to the starting point... I think I've ran for only about 3 km, but it was a very comfortable and refreshing run...

Then after that we went to pick susan up to have dinner at Arab St... It was the first time I've been there... The place was so happening... It is a great place for all photographers to take beautiful pictures... We had Arabian food of course... The food was good... I forgot to take pictures before we ate, so here is a piece of fat from the mutton which I resisted from eating...


After that, we went to Harry's @ Dempsey Hill... How I hated the Dempsey Hill now, becauuse its so crowded and noisy now... It used to be so quiet and classy... But anyway, we went for a drink @ Harry's... As usual, it's 'my birthday' everytime we went for drinks... So our dear susan wrote a dedication for me again... *sigh... haha... Lucky no dancing on the stage this time... So here are the pictures... Quality wise, blame it on the camera phone...




The above is "Singapore Sling", but its erm... erm... I think I will stick to beer at Harry's...

NTUCO BBQ

Hmmm... Actually was looking forward to this BBQ since it was planned quite sometime ago... Initially we thought we can jio a number of people since Zhiqiang tried to inform everyone asap... But it turned out that the gross strength is 9... It was a small and cosy gathering though... At least i think they had fun playing wii...

I really appreciate the effort put in my them... The purchasing of food, booking of chalet and all the liasing... Thanks Zhiqiang and Suqing for the effort... I've done it and I know how difficult it is... so 3 cheers for them...

Virgin golf

Ha... Today I went to play golf for the first time... PW brought me to Marina Golf Course to play range after our gym session, cos me beginner then needa learn a lot of things... It is a very difficult game... A lot of fine tuning, a lot of posture thingy to remember... But overall its a very fun game, esp when u see ur ball goes further after each stroke... I wanna take up lessons, anyone interested to learn with me?

Some pics... not very nice though... cos me camera phone sux...
