camp recee at kota tinggi

overseas recee with the pe dept, for the sec 3 overseas camp, that will take place from 27 may to 29 may. the RnM people may find the place familiar. haha. 

the pool looks pretty inviting. but i doubt the teachers got the time to swim.

heading to our chalets! 

not too bad isn't it? :) 

the cosy toilet

beautiful campsite

the "cookhouse"

teachers sleep in chalets, the students sleep in tents. must train them to be resilient. i also slept in tents during my sec sch camps!

woo hoo! the wonderful pe dept!

the super dirty johor river, where the students will kayak in.  

a bunch of grown-ups eating ice cream. what a funny sight. hahaha. 

the staycation!

awesome room, with an awesome view of Gardens By The Bay, from the spacious balcony.

although is a brotherhood staycation, but i still brought my significant other to check in with me. hahahaha. 

highlights of the staycation are:

1) having a dip in the infinity pool, admiring the breathtaking scenery of singapore's city landscape

2) going to the gym, and having a dip in the hot pool, where the water is at a temperature of 40 degree celsius. reminds me of the hot spring days in japan. 

3) going to gardens by the bay for a jog at 7 am this morning. i woke up at 6 am! 

4) chilling out with darling, the brotherhood and wonderful nuscd friends (only three came hahahahaha and one of them came with his mum), eating potato chips, watching tv, drinking beer and chit chatting

went to the food court to da bao dim sum for supper! remind me of the days when i go da bao breakfast for the brotherhood in taipei, when we stayed at east dragon hotel and i went down to 永和豆浆 to do the da bao-ing. 

staycation concluded with a wonderful lunch at tcc. too bad hw was not able to join us for lunch. :(

(never take photos of the main courses and the shroom bites. haha.)

now i am fully recharged! looking forward to work in the coming week! 

weekend staycation with the brotherhood!

its been so long since we last travelled together...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

this is where we will have our staycation tonight!

looking forward to the sausage party! *evil grin*

nicer pics of bistro soori

the below pics are kapoh-ed from lady iron chef. :)

if you want to see how they prepare the food you can sit at the bar counter. :)

the very nice restaurant layout. 

the lamb rack that i ordered!

the slow roasted pork belly!

the awesome pandan souffle that needs 20 min to prepare! 

梦幻晚餐 @ Bistro Soori

this is a belated birthday treat for darling. 

previously we went to this peranakan restaurant at vivocity for her birthday dinner, but the food there was totally crap. not delicious, and comes in miserly portions. we tasted much nicer peranakan food before such as 金珠 at katong, Guan Hoe Soon at joo chiat and Aunty Lee at malacca. therefore no way am i going to eat at that peranakan restaurant anymore!

so i decided to bring darling to Bistro Soori for a much better birthday treat. :)

thank goodness the food did not disappoint. the menu was really comprehensive. we are spoilt for choice! you can check out their menu at their website. 

waiting for food to be served!

you can invite the chefs to your house to cook fine dining cuisine! i am sure it will cost a bomb. 

starter #1: pan fried foie gras with poached pear

starter #2: slow roasted pork belly

main course #1: seabass (it is actually codfish! not seabass!)

main course #2: lamb rack

dessert: pandan souffle

the very happy couple satisfied with the wonderful 梦幻 dining experience! 

we definitely dun mind going there again to try the other food items on the menu! anyone want to join us? :)

syf 2013

so far the workplace has achieved commendable results in the syf.

band got distinction. dance dynamics got distinction. english drama got achievement. 

malay dance performed on wednesday, will only know the result tomorrow.

chinese dance performed today, will also know the result tomorrow. 

i went to kallang theatre to watch chinese dance. the only syf that i went to watch. did not go for the previous ones because i was stuck in sungei gedong camp for reservist. 

happy to see DLS and ZLS, and some of the nuscd juniors! dun need to be too happy to see xuehong, because i see him quite regularly. hahahahahaha. 

the beautiful ladies. they really put in their best and in my opinion it was their best performance compared to the previous rehearsals that i had seen. but still i think they lack the cutting edge to up their performance by another level. 

after their item, BLS told me:"她们缺少你在台上表演的激情和精力!!!"

felt super happy to hear this from him. :)

the president! she cried very hard yesterday after practise because she was too stressed and too worried. spent a long time talking to her and comforting her. 

the president in 2011! glad to have alumni like her who still come back and help with making up and other miscellanous stuff. 

the performers from my CNY item. only missing the 3 wushu boys.

once again, well done ladies! let's hope for the best!
