Everyday is Sunday to me. No that's not a good thing! Aaarrgghhh!! The STI was down until below 1500 today! But it went back up to settle at 1,666.49. Crazy market now.
Wah actually I'm quite tired today. Coz I automatically woke up at 7am today! Then just now went to Boon Leong's house where we went to his swimming pool to soak around for one hour or so. Didn't really swim, only paddled a few rounds and enjoyed the jacuzzi effect at the side of the pool and other than that, mostly chatting. Now I still smell of chlorine lol.

Another random dinner outing. Yaokun and Siying were helping Peiyi with some volunteer work. So they decided to ask me out for dinner since they were in Tampines. We almost went to Tampines Mall, but seeing that the carpark was sardines, we thought of going to E!Hub instead. Peyyong and Uncle joined us but didn't eat dinner though. We went to New York New York. I haven't eaten at this restaurant before, and seeing that there's always a snake winding out from the outlet at CityLink, I suggested having our dinner there. Me and Yaokun ordered the Meat-lovers for 2 set. AND IT'S A HUMONGOUS PLATE~!
Compare the normal-sized plate on the left to the "washing basin" on the right!
Compare the size of the chicken to the plate!
Candy floss! Haven't eaten it in years! Believe it or not: Uncle has NEVER eaten it before!And so we ate our dinner until Peyyong and Uncle arrived. As usual, Peyyong wil finish up all the leftovers while Uncle will sit there and act Uncle. LOL. We even hung around until we're the last customers in the restaurant. Then we had candy floss! Woohoo! I seriously don't remember the last time I had it. Worse still. Uncle has NEVER eaten it before. Seriously he's a case of 没童年. LOL. Maybe that explains why he's Uncle. =P
So we walked around E!Hub and even went to the arcade. Saw some youngsters super pro at the basketball games. And I thought kids these days only know how to play PSPs and Wiis. LOL! So that's all for the night and so we went home after that.

It's Deepavali! As if it makes a difference to me. I went to meet up with YK who managed to squeeze his time to join us after work, on a holiday morning! So Peiyi, Peyyong and I got onto his 小红 at Bedok MRT station. Along the way I passed the 9 free tix to SnowCity to Huiru at Geylang, cos she called me to enquire about the tix. Great! I gave out all the tix to her, so no wastage whatsoever. We then continued down to VivoCity. I went to meet up with Yong Seng first at the MRT station while they went to park the car. I had initially planned to meet up with Keng Yew, Yong Seng and Lim Leng for lunch at Vivo too, but thanks to KY's aeroplane-putting act, we had to cancel our lunch meeting. However YS was already on his way to Vivo and therefore I told him to join me and my friends for lunch. And also, Claire, one of my MapleStory buddies, also joined us on this Butterfly Park escapade. So we then all met at the Banquet foodcourt in Vivo to have our lunch.
Toucans. Feels more like Bird Park to me.
Ah-ee-ah-ee-ai, I'm a little butterfly.
Parrots. Am I really in Butterfly Park?
Butterfly Lovers. Triangle love, that is.
After lunch, YS went off to join his army friends for movies. Therefore the rest of us proceeded to Sentosa. As all of us couldn't fit into YK's 小红, and since Claire had never been on the Skytrain, she and I went to take it to reach Sentosa. Then we all met up outside the Butterfly Park and we used my free tix to gain entry. It's like an educational trip, but it sure was fun finding out about the wonders of nature. I have no idea whether I've been to this place or not. Maybe when I was a kid I could have been there before. Anyway YK had actually been to this place for a long time because he was working on his FYP. Therefore he's very familiar with the place and therefore briefly explained a bit to us, like a tour guide lol.

Parrots. Am I really in Butterfly Park? 
Butterfly Lovers. Triangle love, that is.We watched a bird show which lasted around half an hour or so. Then walked around the park. Spent quite a long time inside. So after the tour ended, I was frantically looking around for people to pass my four remaining tix to. However the angmohs I approached all rejected my offer. It was only when Peiyi said, "try the Chinese!", before I realize that yeah, Chinese should be willing to take anything that's free. So I looked around and saw a family of four. They sounded like Taiwanese though, but I managed to give it to them. Mission accomplished! All my free tix were used up/given out!
So we then took YK's 小红 to Siloso Beach. However the dark clouds had begun to float towards the beach area and raindrops on the windscreen gave us second thoughts about going to the beach. However I die die wanted to use the frisbee that I purposely bought for this trip. Costs me $3.90! LOL. So we just got YK's car parked and we walked down to the beach and started playing. There were a few bikini girls around, but TONNES of Indians/Bangladeshis all over the beach. Not to be racist here, so I will save on the remarks I heard from them wahhaha. We merely played for 10 minutes or so before we had to run back to the carpark to get out of that place. Bad day for beach games. So we ended up at AMK for our crab dinner as planned.
We reached the place, Mellben Seafood, quite early. We actually had our dinner at 5+pm. Ok lah cos I was already freaking famished from all the walking. We ordered several types of crabs, like the Chili, Curry and Creamy Butter Crabs, plus several other side dishes. The chili crab tasted normal, just like any other chili crabs. The creamy butter one could be compared to the Defu Lane one. Both just as nice. But I think I prefer the Defu Lane to this one. The curry crab, however, didn't taste as good as I thought it would be. That's because the crabmeat didn't actually absorb the curry flavour and therefore there was a lack of taste. But you can of course manually pour extra curry over the crabmeat. Overall I guess it was a rather good seafood dinner, except for the price! It costs us $180, for 6 people! That's $30 each! Therefore I think I will not go back there anytime soon, some more it's in AMK. So it was home after dinner, since we were all tired from the crab-biting ordeal. It's a real chore eating crabs man.
