Giving Mega Thanks in October - my favourite month

28th Oct (Tue)

maintaining my ideal weight of between 52 and 54kg is getting harder & harder every year and i'm nowhere near this ideal since the June holiday + am getting sick of having to decide on what to eat on days when i dont meet any meal kakis + the idea of healthier eating was triggered from reading the 退休 @ 45 book...

surf surf surf, swipe swipe swipe and a new microwave & this bag of Yolofoods 陆陆续续 arrived @ home sweet home... happiness was finding out that all 14 mains are different and they all have 6 months expiry... 😍😍😍

had Peri Peri Chicken Breast with Roasted Potatoes and Broccoli for lunch today and i'm impressed... the meat was juicy & everything was yummy!!! 😋😋😋... gonna get my Frittata ready for tmr!!!

24th Oct (Fri)

one hour shiok shiok massage at Yi Oasis, Holland Village  which came with a massage 后的姜茶和甜心 by a 'window' seat... the irony was Mich was the one who suggested the massage, booked the massage, ended up being the one who couldnt make it in time... 😅😅😅

the 3 who reached much earlier and got started on the starters while we waited... hatchday meal @ AirCCCC where every dish from starters to desserts were interesting, unique & yummy!!! 😍😍😍


luv this hilarious & efficient group of lovely ladies who initiated and confirmed a Korea trip next June to celebrate our 20th years of friendship over tonight's dinner... one had to seek boss's approval, one had to seek spouse's approval and Mich will be buying flight tics TONIGHT!!!... 😍😍😍

Hatchday Celebration @ Rainforest Wild Asia w Mx

 a case of same same but different... found out that the elevated walkway at Rainforest Wild Asia that mx had been telling me about for the last 2 weeks wasnt the Mandai Boardwalk that i had in mind only after i had alighted from the shuttle bus... 😅😅😅


since i was early, i decided to walk the 800m between the two places upon seeing the directory signages... surprise oh surprise #1> no more shelter after only about 100m into the walk... 


Let's practice positive thinking:
got to clock steps
received a good dose of vitamin D
a chance to see if my new make-up fixer works > It did!




surprise oh surprise #2 > the pathway was blocked off for construction about halfway through?!?!?! heng the road next to it had NO traffic... 

it took me a long while to realise that i was the only person walking along this stretch not because it was at 4pm in the afternoon but because this road / pathway may not be opened yet?!?!?!?!... 


the good news was i completed the walk and reached where i should be at, though a little late... it would be worse if i had to walk back right?!?!?! 😂😂😂





Spotted a Bambi !!!



so exciting.... it came so near to the edge of the boardwalk!!! 



reminded me of the 毛毛 feel of the deer's antlers in Nara


no entry sign for us into the deer's territory but free for the deer to exit and come join us on the boardwalk, though none came... =S 



mx looked so cute in her ranger hat... 😊


yup yup... to exploring more places together... 😍😍😍



not as scary as i thought it would be... it's like a prelude to bungy jump... the freefall part seemed to last less than 5m followed by a controlled drop for the remaining height?!?!?!... 



so structured is the management that this is a one-way 'street' and cannot bo-ing bo-ing on the net... 




你看我  我看你

a food chain in action : tiger ← dhole ← bird ← caterpillar on the tree?!?!?



massive saltwater crocodile spotted!!! 


this interior was inspired by the Mulu Caves in Sarawak... reminded me of Sung Got Cave @ Halong Bay


Welcoming us into Cavern Restaurant


 pasta & drinks in angry glasses for dinner... 😂😂😂


Brulee Oolong Cheesecake !!!... interesting combination of 3 things; creme buelee + oolong tea + cheesecake, that i like... 



Thanks Mx for the hatchday meal & experience!!! 
To more experiences & places together!!! 😍😍😍
