an afternoon at east coast park

spent the afternoon with the dive group at east coast park today. people present were Alda, Alex, Alvin Loke, Alvin Ho, Andy, Belinda & Bernerd. 5 A's Vs 2 B's. haha. belinda had graciously went down to ntu to pick up the hall people and in the process inadvertently picked up Alvin Loke the "BBDC intstructor". bednerd and i made our own way to east coast. he on his motorbike, me by my trusty bikey. took me about 40 mins to reach east coast park from bukit merah.

i entered east coast park via fort road and changed out of my jeans to bermudas. after giving a call to alvin to check their location, i proceeded to meetup with them. along the way, i passed vincent wu who was rollerblading at east coast too. moments later, i noticed belinda coming in my direction but her attention was on something else in front of her. i waved and only after i passed her then did she realised it was me. as i did not notice the guys on my way, i guess they must be lagging behind so i stopped to wait for them. later i found out what had captured belnida's attention. apparently she, alda & alex were chasing after vincent wu and wanted to take a photo with him. haiz. starry-eyed young girls. haha.

alvin is new to rollerblading and was moving very very slowly. i tried to pace him and even tried towing him along. it sure wasn't easy towing people and i had to change to a lower gear to better handle bikey. when bernerd later tagged on, i think alvin suddenly lost balanced and lurched foward, causing me to lose balance and braking. ooohh. alvin nearly had no chance of celebrating father's day. ouch! we continued to move on and later headed towards the food centre. along the way, alda was very encouraging to alvin and tried to aid him in his rollerblading technique. we soon stopped at the food centre for some deserts and chicken wings. alex while transporting the chicken wings from the stall, lost his balanced and dropped the wings on the floor. oh no! thankfully he was ok, we could always get new chicken wings later. as alvin and andy had returned their rollerblades, they set off for belinda's car first by foot. in the meanwhile, the rest of us went down to bedok jetty for some photos and rest. while we passed mcdonald's on our way back, we passed an ambulance. apparently somebody had a very nasty fall. poor thing. after a quick wash up, we adjourned to the beach for a rest where we decided to head to marine parade food centre, next to parkway parade.

taking the underpass, while the rest travelled by road, i managed to reach the place just ahead of them. seeing that there were 7 of us, we had to split to 2 separate tables. alda, alvin, belinda & myself were at one while alex, andy & berdnerd were at the other. our table was full of sharing as we bought food for each other to share or as belinda puts it, our tablle is so full of love. heez! chee cheong fun, chwee kuay, char kway teow, char tau kuay, fried fish soup, sugar cane juice, soya bean grass jelly mix. by the time my main course of pork mixture porridge arrived, i was pretty stuffed. hahaha. it's more fun when we buy and share. eating with girls are an added bonus besides the obvious eye candy. they sometimes can not finish their food and you can have extras. no wonder i so fat! hahaha.

after dinner we shopped around for a while for alda to get some snacks as dinner at her hostel. snacks as dinner? we discussed our plans for the following week of where we could relax. from labrador park to fort canning park to marina south to batam to pulau ubin and even space! hahaha. it sure was intrsting. especially since "mehmet" invited berdnerd to go to turkey. hahaha. in the end we settled for macritchie reservoir's tree top walk and pinic, plus some fishing. sounds great! i'm looking foward to it already. we soon bade farewell and i started my journey home. with a stop over at my mum's place at bukit purmei, by the time i reached my granny's place i had taken about an hour.

today was sure a good way to relax after a hectic week at ntu and we didn't have to spend much at all. this bunch is sure a great group to hang with. kind of reminds me of my bygone days in poly year 1. thanks gal & guys! looking foward to our meetup next sat. see ya!
