MY BIKING BUDDIES ..

.. even if it is for a short time :(



I had a fine time with my friend, Stefan, on our cycling trip from ECP F2 Carpark to Changi Village PCN (Park Connector Network). That's my DAHON behind Stefan. It was 34km two-way trip. Stefan is a visiting student from Germany. He has since returned to Stuttgart and I have to say i kind of miss him. I enjoyed his company very much and I hope our path will cross again :)




.. and here is HJ. HJ is from Korea. Well who says you dont look good with a helmet? We did the same route It started out with a nice balmy morning but by the time we could reach Changi Village, it rained cats and dogs! .. two ladies braving the rain. We were soaked to the skin! After brunch at Changi Village, we thought it had rained out .. boy were we wrong ! I thought it was fun riding in the heavy rain but not HJ... she thinks I am crazy ! Should have snapped some photos but we were too busy with getting home to change out !


.. and this is me !


HJ promised that she would do this ride with me again and i am looking forward :)

Thanks Guys!

Just have to show off ..

So how do you like my fire-engine red lacquered nails ?? .. they are so hot and spicy ! l simply love it. Had a great time at the beauty salon... had a pedi, mani and a nice facial. Well .. a girl's gotta look good .. just for HERSELF! .. right ??

my first DAHON!

For a change.. this is not about my work .. it's personal. I have always wanted to get a bike. Okay I have to admit I am a novice when it comes to biking so i really need a bike which will allow me to start somewhere and yet look COOOL ! .. AND not forgetting one that i could move around easily so that i can bring it to a ride in a park. So you can imagine i made quite some research and finally i found it !! .. a foldable DAHON !

Here it is.. all mine and to be exact it's the MUP8. I love the 'feline spine'. Nice ??




I am truly impressed by its design and compactness when all folded up in 11secs! Okay i took 20 but i will get there!



I took it out to the jogging path along Ulu Pandan Canal early this morning for my maiden ride ..... and sustained my first tumble.. yes it was quite a tumble but i am okay. My impression .. well not just mine but I also impressed many other riders and joggers who were wondering what this beauty is all about and if you are also wondering here is the website:

Celebrating the Lunar New Year with lots of Fanfare!

I know i have be really tardy with my writing simply because i have been really busy with the year-end holidays and working on a new project. Hopefully this new project works out but more of that later.

Well yesterday was the start of the Lunar New Year celebration here in Singapore. To usher in the Year of the Ox, there was a Lion Dance to wish all residents of our estate lots of good health and prosperity. I took the opportunity to video tape it which i have to apologise for my poor video skill.. should have turned up the resolution .. but I promise I will get the hang of it with practice :)



It was so nice to see these two playful Lions working hard to welcome the new year with wishes (see banner) ..
"Welcome Spring And Good Fortune" and "May All Your Desires Come True"
..in spite of the gloom and doom forecast. It's for me really strange to see the ox dancing on its forelegs as if he is doing his hand-stand all the way ... LOL. To look on the 'bright' side, it brought some light moments to the morning :) .. really funny, don't you think?



As usual I could not resist taking more pictures ..


Stunning lift!


Touch me and you will receive lots of luck!!


If you think that was it.. no.. no.. we were also treated to a Dragon Dance!




Nice formation..



Till next Spring .. adios


I hope you enjoyed this blog as much as I enjoyed writing it.

May the New Year brings you lots of love, happiness and good health!
