Botanical Gardens!
Hello people!
Youth activity yesterday was definitely very nature-ish.Tiring,but it was very fun too!(:
So so,started off with meeting my fellow region people at the bus interchange.Listening to music and talking to Huimin the entire time.HAHA.
My surprise was,before heading towards Botanical Gardens Sheena needed to pick up some batteries...from GLENEAGLES HOSPITAL.Oh man.Now that I think of it,I haven't been there for the past 13 years and 6 months.Meaning since I was born.OH MAH WORD THAT IS SUPER DUPER LONG!!The place really changed,the faintest memory I had of it when I was born,is:
Glass window.White walls.Pinkish white blankets.Now that I step in not a lot of white walls to be seen.And why is the floor so glossy!?Haha,I bet it wasn't like that when I was born.The memory of the glass window,white walls and pinkish white blankets are the few things I remembered when I was born.Not bad,I can still remember them.


Well well,after all that nostalgia time to go to the botanical gardens!Second last region to arrive.Hohoho.But still,I did group with Carmen,Joel,Huimin,BJ,Ryan,Sheena and Franklin.In group 5 ^^
So one worksheet full of questions about the botanical gardens was given to us,and we have to run around and around the botanical gardens finding the answers.And in some activities,do cheers and and take zany photos.But over all,pretty fun!But at the same time,exhausting heh heh.

I remember this place was near swan lake and called the 'iron'-something.But yeap,beautiful as it is.

The 'Backstand'?STM in work again,I remember this called something-'stand'....Quite a number of couples take their wedding photos here!

This is the statue called 'Girl on a swing'.And if you look closely,this is one super strong statue since it's balancing it's entire body on the tips of the dress.After all,the ropes are hanging from nowhere.

This is cool!The marble ball is turning and turning with water,looks really interesting.

The sundial.Though sadly,it's a little bit inaccurate!But yeah,I haven't seen a sundial in a really long time...

My group took an amazingly LONG time to find this.Simple as it looks,but not easy to find!Haha.

Francel and I!Pardon my hair,I was sweating xD
And with two more clues,here we end our hunt!And my team was first lol.YAY.
After the game,we went off to town with Huimin,my brother,Caleb,Sheena and Jocelyn!For dinner and a short walk.Went to McCafe first,then I found something.

Must be the 3-quarter jeans that somehow gave me a blister on the side of my knee cap.Ouch.Declan joined us later,and we decided to make our way to pastacafe to see what we could have for dinner.
The trip there for me was definitely painful.Not because of the blister,but...
1.Scratched on the calf by the escalator
2.Tripped over something
3.Banged into some handle
4.Someone dashed past me,and his/her file scratched me on the left arm(the mark's still there!)
ARGHHH!Lots of minor accidents yesterday.
Alas,comfort upon reaching pastacafe!AMEN.


Huimin is the only one alert enough to notice me taking a photo here xD

So there ya have it,Huimin and I!Haha.
After that,suddenly everyone decided to eat at N.Y.D.C instead.But you know,it's a little weird to leave the area just like that,with the waitress whom already laid out the utensils and drinks.So we left a little by little,Huimin and I left first...and Sheena was the last.But yeah the waitress didn't seem to mind so much since Sheena already explained that we had a change of plans.We definitely did a thick-skin thing,Hah.
Off to N.Y.D.C we go!Where it was,I haven't been there since around p3?That is long!But yeah,the architecture is as cool as ever!


The architect of this area I admit,IS A GENIUS!lol...
N.Y.D.C toys are cute.And one of them is a teddy bear!My brother and I love teddy bears,and Jocelyn liked the toy moose.Therefore...

Cute huh?



I really think N.Y.D.C has the cutest menu ever.And it's main character which is some white dog is really cute!

Huimin and I again!Haha,we take photos of each other in most of the places we go.

I shared this with Sheena!'The three amigos' this dish is called.Very yummeh.^^

The 'Big O cheescake'.Rather sweet,but I loved it.Also shared with Sheena ^^

Declan's dessert.Not a Cheesecake,but something else chocolatey and I suppose a lot sweeter...
So,after a very lovely meal we went to the 'Borders' book stall to find something interesting to look at.The girls were in the wedding mood since 3 couples are getting married in this two months!A lot huh.And us the girls looked through 2 thick magazines on bridal dresses and weddings,while the guys browsed whatever there is OTHER THAN WEDDINGS.Haha.
And before we went to borders we saw this interesting sign outside a shoe shop.

Yeah.RUN RUN RUN!
After everything it's time to go off!And many thanks to the people who went for dinner,we all had loads of fun!Sheena,Jason Oon,Colleen,Declan,Huimin,Grace,Jocelyn,Caleb My brother and me!We really enjoyed ourselves(:
Many thanks to Jason who drove some of us back!(:And to end off,my brother and Shrek ears.Fits him perfectly now that he's Botak.Haha.

Dear Lord,I thank you so much for yesterday!Amen(:
God bless you all.
