Soya Bean Milk Powder

Something I've discovered last weekend...

Due to my extremely low tolerance in lactose, I grew up drinking Soya Bean Milk Powder when I was an infant...

Interesting eh...

Photography interest rekindled

Thanks to my sis, who kept pestering me to get a DSLR so that she can take pictures when we go to Turkey the end of the year, the photography interest which was asleep in me for eons has finally rekindled.

When I was young, my father bought a SLR because I like to take pictures. But due to the weight and laziness, I gave up months after. Then here comes IA period, where I met Eugene, SZ and Jane who are fanatics in photography, I slowly pick it up again. But still I hate the weight of my lao kok kok camera, so I use a prosumer camera instead. After the canon prosumer camera died on me, I do not own a camera anymore.

On the other hand, my sis loves to take pictures wherever she goes. And I have t admit that she does take good pictures. If you go to her blog, you will see tons of pictures by her. So she wanted to get a DSLR.

To be frank, she knows nothing about taking a good picture, the technical parts that is, she managed to take good pictures.

So after a bit of pestering from her, I decided to look up for a bit of infomation about cameras and photography. And the fire in me lit up, even though its a very very small match fire now. haha...

Who knows, maybe I will get a DSLR and take award winning pictures in future... haha

*Just a thought

???

Last Sat me and my friends went to Kallang Leisure Park... After that when I went to the Kallang MRT station, I was surprised by the amount of people there... Its only then I realised that the pick up point for the F1 race is near Kallang, so there is an abnormal amount of people in and out of the station... This is not the point, the point is the service I've witnessed there...

When me and my friends went thru the gantry into the station, we noticed a woman trying to go thru the gantry... She was tapping the card at the wrong gantry with the "X"... She was trying and trying for ages, so in the end we decided to help the woman... And the problem was solved by adding an extra 20 cents cos she did not pay the full amount when she bought the card...

What I was pissed off is that, the station control staff were chatting all the way in their comfortable air-con room... I thought their job is to 'control' the station and yet there is a helpless woman no knowing what to do...

Due to the circumstances, there are a few policemen standing guard... Then apparently, there was one standing at the gantry witnessing the turmoil the woman went thru without at least helping her to get the attention of the staff... I dun think there will be a riot if he was to stand away for a few seconds right???

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...
