Saturday was fulfilling after we did some coolie stuff - shifting loads of baggage and shoes and etc from our parents' place. The day ended with a gathering at neighbour's place. Poh Ling stays with hubby Clement and son Teng Fong; and three of them have been the most friendly and gracious neighbours ever! Among those who went were Cailuan who stays next door with hubby and mum. And yes, our distant 7th floor neighbour couple Xiuli and Jason.
The main lead was supposed to be durian (and mangosteens) but turned out to be Vera or Xuan Xuan, Cailuan's 20mo niece. She is so adorable and entertained us throughout the evening. We stayed on and chatted after the durian feast till around 11tish before heading home to rest.
Sunday started with dragonboating with the CDAC vols ~ an activity which I pushed through successfully three years ago. I was still very satisfied with the turnout and how e event made all participants happy, especially the older folks.
Coz it was raining just before we put on our life vests to enter the boats, I decided to not go down eventually (after struggling with my mind and heart). Was having flu and throat inflammation last week, and still having running nose on the day itself. It was really sensible not to risk my life for it. However, it was a thin line between being happy and disappointed when Jurong team won the dragonboat race (among the 5 boats that went out). How I wished I was there too!
The weather became better after the activity, with a light breeze and no more drizzle. We went over to Old Airport Road food centre for lunch thereafter. Pretty disappointed coz they ran out of Lor Mee and so I settled for second best - Blanco Court Kuay Chap. OMG it was really damn nice!!! Will remember the taste for awhile... hehe
After lunch, we decided to go ktv (though Wei Ting doesn't sing and I was still recovering from flu). Cindy was so quick to book a room at Cash Studio and we had our 3hrs fix then. With my nasal voice, I managed to sing about 3 songs (two duets with dear and 1 SHE song with Cindy and Jasmine). Haha the only reason I like Cash Studio is coz they have so many mics in each room, and oh wow, a stage complete with old school mic!
Dinner was at Victor's Kitchen. Well, should I say finally? It has been awhile since I heard about the good dimsum there but did not get a chance to try it. True enough, the 流沙包 is good, and other common ones like har gao and siu mai were nice too. But my ultimate favourite was the egg tarts! Warmly baked from the oven, they tasted so good and melted in our mouths!
Will go back there again!
