Whatz up????

Another whatz up? Well, this week has been a pretty laid back week cos I only need to teach for ONE day and the school is closed for PSLE marking. Thus, I utilise this week to plan stuffs, run errands, spend time with Bryan as well as go praying…

Went to KUSU island yesterday with Kheeliang and Xiayun. We met at 9am at Clifford Pier and boarded the boat about 930am. Reached there about 10am. Spent the first half hour eating breakfast and walking along the coastal line. Afterwhich, we decided its time to join the crowd!!! There are so many people there cos this lunar month is the praying season… hee, dont ask me what season cos I really dont know. :p

Being totally ignorant abt the praying process, I simply followed what Xiayun does. She helps out at her aunt’s temple very often so she knows best what to do… hee. Going from God to Deities to Goddess, we finish our round of praying at the chinese temple. This is the 2nd time I went to KUSU and this temple. It has changed lots cos the "Sentosa" Organization had taken over the island develpoment and thus added the touch of "resort" feel to it.

The totally new experience for me was the visit to the Malay temple. They call it the "Datuk" temple… its my first time there! First, we had to climb 152 steps to reach the temple. Panting and catching my breathe… again, I follow suit to what Xiayun does. However, she went so fast that I lost track of what she is doing. So I followed the rest of the crowd there. At a stop, I placed my offerings for the "Datuk" and gave my donation. The "priest" there offered me some blessings and it was a pleasant experience.

After completing the rounds of praying there, we retreated to the coastal line again. I took lots of pictures using my mobile phone camera and we had lots of fun. Below are some pics for you to enjoy! I got both Kheeliang and Xiayun to jump while I capture him in mid-air. It came out really nice! I tried to jump myself but found out that I could not jump as high and so the pics turn out

I also took lots of pics of flowers and plants on that island. Posted some here too. I really liked this mobile phone of mine. Its the one that I lost but I bought back the same model - (Mitsubishi M350). Really Cheap & Good!
Rumble, rumble… our stomach starts to get hungry and so headed for the temporary tentage there for food. We shared fried kuay teow, traditional laksa & lor mee there. The food here are alright… and reasonable priced.

Filled tummy, more walking around! As this is the 1st time Kheeliang went to KUSU, he went around reading the signboard. It was interesting to learn more about this island. We pass by a small pond of torteise. I went down and took pics of 2 torteise that posed for me. Hee… they immediately returned to the pond after I’m done. Ain’t they cute…..

Well, after half a day of outdoor activities, we are all tired. Returning to mainland, we decided to go for some drinks. While walking along the linkway between Clifford Pier and Change Alley and Xiayun spotted an interesting shop. I took a look inside and I saw an old friend of mine-Rachel!!! We have not seen each other for about 3 years! Rachel and I were in a business building team together before. Then she took great care of me especially when I had my knee injury. The shop was co-owned with her sister and they started only about 2 weeks ago. They sell laces and patterns for sewing or iron-on. You can make belts or revamp a plain shirt into something really beautiful! Lots of little stuffs too. I bought a broad lace make a belt as well as a little mobile accessory for only $13.

All you need is a little creativity!

Happy with our purchases, we went for our drink. We had our little discussion about what we can do together and decided some possible measures to earning an income during the upcoming season. And while typing this, I realise that I can also put up a little booth during the upcoming ACPAF! Hee… :->

Thats all for now! I know I still owe the pics on this page… will put it up once I get them into my PC from my phone…
