In the Hive.

I woke up earlier than normal working day and met the rest at 8am at Tanah Merah Mrt Station on the rainy & floody Saturday. We headed to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. We took a ferry at 10am to Nonsapura Ferry Terminal and transit to Leisure World Cruise ($42 for ferry & inclusive all 4 meals). The journey took 1.5hr and some of us felt kind of nauseous. The sea was choppy and the ferry had some strange smell. When we reached the cruise, we had to deposit our pp with them and went to starlight cafe for the buffet lunch. Although the food didn't look appetizing, it was not bad especially for the shisamo tempura, drumstick and fishball noodle. However, they did not have cold drinks. Hence, we found ice and made our very own teh o peng/teh peng. Haha. After a filling lunch, we went to get our slot cards & checked out the cabin room (contemplating if we should stay over). There was a deal that if we change $300 wooden chips (can't encash straight away), we will be able to fully refund the $42. However, to play safe, we shared the $300 chips and got back part of the $42. We went to the tables (there were free flow of drinks, porridge, yam paste and curry puff to be consumed at the tables) and played until the bingo time at 4pm which was at the lounge. Prior to the performance, a lady was dancing and singing "nobody". Finally the bingo started. Each of us bought 2 tickets but din not manage to win. Sianz. We went to play some slot machine (they gave us some slot voucher) and bought ice cream. We went to the tables and continued playing before gg for buffet dinner at 5+pm. We were eating non-stop. We continued playing after dinner. We decided not to stay over and took the last ferry back at 945pm to Habourfront. We slept throughout the ride while the TV was playing the 1993's Stephen chow's movie. It was freezing cold. We reached Singapore at 1130pm. After which, we went to watch "Despicable Me" in GV Vivo. I like the lightstick part and the ending competition. I was laughing in my sleepy mode. Reached home at 3+am. Was almost active for 24hrs. Zzzz

My birthday treat from the girls was Asian Tunch (Tea+Lunch) at Marina Mandarin's Aquamarine this rainy afternoon. We met at 12pm. We had fun making the penang rojak, muah ji and bo pian. We had lots of pork soup, chicken, dim sum, egg tarts and bread. There were some peranakan kueh kueh as well. oh, we had our DIY ice kacang, bandung and ice-cream! Non-stop eating until almost 4pm. haha. Nice to catch up with one another! :)
