Solo Traveller - Step 3

Over the last few weeks, I realised that I had to do more planning when I travel solo - there's no one to spilt up the research and no one to keep tab on the progress. Well, I do my best :P Today, the adventure starts. I am at Changi Airport now, about 50 minutes before my flight to Taipei takes off. It's been such a long time since I depart from T3 and the Butterfly Garden really made my day - it's so pretty and surreal as you walk amongst the butterflies flying around you! Nice! I'm so proud of our airport! :)

How do I feel? It's complicated - happy, excited, free, nervous, scared, high... It's like how you feel at your first day in school or at work - you don't really know what will unfold in the days ahead even though there are some plans in place. But I'm definitely looking forward to it and living to tell my story :) Daily updates over the next few days if possible, otherwise when I'm back in town.

Sentosa Flowers + Malaysia Food Street

Unlikely combination but we (my parents, my cousin and me) did that last Friday. We went to Sentosa Flowers 2012 and had dinner at the Malaysian Food Street at Resort World Singapore.

Yummy combination, I must say (although many commented that this year's Sentosa Flowers is not as good as past years). It's been a long time since my last visit, so I guess my expectation is not that high. It rained, thanks to the Water Dragon year :P and I did not take a lot of pictures - just some for fun and to try out the aperture mode.

For some reasons, I took quite a few pictures of orchids. Guess I was feeling patriotic! :P

Read about the Malaysian Food Street in the media, and decided to bring my parents who are more into hawker food than restaurant food. There were rave reviews about some of the items I tried :)  A bit expensive though but well, no need to go to KL, Penang or Malacca just to eat :P So still worth the trip, I say!

Hokkien Mee. Nice. But I thought the one in KL is better :P

Hokkien Mee too. This is very nice. I like it - a bit spicy though :P

Cuttlefish with Kang Kong. The sauce is nice.

Flour roll and bean curd skin with curry. A bit weird.

Clay pot rice which we waited one hour for! It's amazing! But it was very good. Forgot to take a picture before we attacked it. It tastes 100% better than it looks :P

Chengdol. Nice too :)

Scrapbooking III - Happy Birthday, MQ!

Here's a birthday card I made for an old friend MQ and we kind of celebrated it on a staycation at MBS and watched Wicked last weekend. It was a lovely stay - MBS was beautiful (will post some pictures soon, haha, Wicked was great too :) and of course the card was pretty :P

Happy 3X Birthday, MQ!

We also took the opportunity to celebrate 20 years of friendship - yes yes I know these girls since we were teenagers :) A great start to 2012, I must say (although I was really frustrated at work for the last few weeks :/ )
And ah, today's is KW's birthday. @KW, if you happen to read this post one day, Happy Birthday! :) and congrats, father-to-be!
