HELLO FROM SUNNY SINGAPORE!!
Actually, not really. It’s been raining non-stop which is good since it makes the weather lovely and cool, but bad because it’s quite dreary and depressing. I’ve also gone about SIX DAYS (!) without my laptop – it died. Not a normal kinda death, but a crash-and-burn-in-hell kinda death. It was so bad that when the engineer came in to change the screen and cabling (thank goodness for the warranty!), it still didn’t work and he had to come back the next day to change the motherboard as well. But it finally works now and I have a TON of photos/posts all back-logged.. so they’ll all come in a flurry of posts asap 🙂
Anyway, on Saturday we met up with a Japanese friend and a Finnish friend – we’re very multicultural 😉 We wandered all around East Coast since the weather was brilliant.. so we mooched around and ate. Saw these cool sandcastle thingys and wondered how they stay so.. upright? Do they lacquer the surface after making them so the sand doesn’t fall apart?
Us!
The sandcastles
After that, the 7 of us had dinner by the water and watched the sunset. Unfortunately, the BBQ place that we were after had closed for renovations, so we went to the one next door. It wasn’t particularly cheap, and the food was good but not spectacular – I think their calling card is more the ambience than it is the food 😉 Still, it was nice having dinner outdoors!
Seating along the boardwalk, by the water
Peanut dipped in chilli – as ‘discovered’ by mum
Beef with mushrooms and veggies – just average, like any other beef dish
Seafood egg omelette – really liked this, they were generous with the seafood
Cereal prawns – never a fan of this, too dry and weird!
Deep fried fish with special sauce – this was the BEST dish of the night
Honey & garlic chicken – 2nd best dish, it was delish!
Sambal veggies – very tasty
The view at night
You have a Finnish friend? That´s cool, I´m from Finland too 🙂
My first real life Finnish friend, heh! She came a loooong way
Hello! *waving* 😛
Wow, you’re back home! Hope you have funnnn! And I hope it stops raining! *^^*
Helloooo yeah it’s great to be back! the weather does kinda suck tho :X
they use packing/builder’s sand for the sandcastles. and spray it with stuff as they go along.
Huh, well there you go.. you learn something new every day!
The other day, a couple of weeks ago, I was there after the rain. And the sandcastle was just mounds. Hahaha! I guess they re-do them immediately after rainfalls.
WOW that sounds kinda insane.. imagine being in charge of re-doing them every time it rains, d’oh 😉

It was really spectacular as usually it’s Australia that has the good views 😉

Welcome home babe!!
Hmmm..cereal prawns are my all-time favorite. But it has to be fried correctly. No Signboard does it well 🙂
Heh I’ve never gotten my tastebuds used to cereal prawns.. no matter when I try ’em, I don’t like it. Maybe it’s cos I hate peeling prawns 😛

I just took a photo of the sandcastles last week when we were in sg. 🙂
I can’t believe they’ve been there for a week! They definitely must’ve lacquered them or something…

Wow, what a beautiful view! Wish I was over there and not here, where it’s been unusually cold. Glad you’re having a great time!
