Birthday Celebration, cycling. wedding. thank yous

I'm officially 25 years old. I never thought this day would come but when it did it was a little surreal. All those years of wondering, 'what would it be like to reach that age?' "would i feel a drastic decease in my metabolism rate?" "will i feel the effects of what my sis calls 'The downhill effect?" Well, I know none of them appeared at the stroke of midnight like an aging curse. Though they did appear in my imagination. (the vivid imagination of Grace Tan)

Cycling

Unlike my sis's 30th extravaganza, mine paled in comparison. I did however, do extraordinary things to commenrate this milestone; one of which is tandem biking with the doc. Granted this wasnt our first time but it was a first in tandem biking at night. Arriving at the bike store around 2030hr, rental of our transport for the night came at a cheap cheap price of S$0.70/hour/pax.

Objective: Exercise and Fun.

Itinary: mini food trail.

I believe we pushed the tandem bike to its maximum when we brought it out of ECP. I mean, have you ever seen a 2-man bike anywhere OUTSIDE ECP? Trust me, it was a sight to behold. If not for the doctor's heck-care attitude of what others think, I would never have ventured out of ECP. But thankfully for us, we did and enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Cycling through the Siglap Park Connector, we manuvered our way to a coffeeshop near my place for mee sua, where the doc happily slurpped and proclaimed its yummy-value.

Next, we hopped back onto our 2-man bike and pedaled towards the Suspension Bridge located near Indoor Stadium, via ECP>exit Fort Road>Tanjong Rhu Road.Cycling on the road was quite scary but thankfully for me, the doc never failed. confident and skillfull. phew.

All in all, we cycled a solid 3 hours before our bums were calling out for mercy and we retired around midnight. Yes, we are quite lousy in that sense cos we technically didnt do night cycling. But oh well, better than nothing.

The actual day wasnt as high on the wow scale. It was however extremely lovely as I spent it at home with my family. (doc came by in the morning cos we had to return the bike by 1000 that day) We went out for breakfast at bakery depot, went grocery shopping for my mom, had lunch at home, had a homemade birthday cake and finally had a wedding to attend at Chjimes.

Wedding
While it wasnt the first time in Chjimes for me, it was a first time i attended a wedding dinner in the chapel. It was also the first time i was meeting the doc's JC friends. Cool bunch of people, really enjoyed the company and was truly entertained throughout the night. oh! and i actually met my ex-DG mate there! Nat and I used to be in the same Discipleship Group in Sci during my NUS days under the BX. It was really nice to see a familiar face as well as catch up with her since we all kind of drifted apart after we all left Crusade.

Thank you
to Miss Yeo and her kids and Dr Wang for spending a great lunch with me today.
Explanation: Like any other Sunday, a bunch of us would usually go out for lunch. Dr Wang had msg the doc the day before re lunch on Sunday. Great minds think alike, so all three of us chio-ed 'the cher' out for lunch as well. 'The cher' in return brought her kids too. So off we went to Astons for a nice lunch of steaks, burgers, soups, fries, onion rings, pork chops, chicken cutlet and salads. We were making so much noise (Dr wang, miss yeo and the doc were shouting insults at one another. in love of course) but it was all lost in the noise of Astons. Food arrived and i must say it was super yummy and super affordable. The kids were highly amused by us i think but i'm glad they came. It was a lot of fun. After that, Miss Yeo and Dr Wang suprised me by buying me a cake to celebrate! Dr Wang really knows his cakes man. The blueberry cheescake was yum yum and apparently it wasnt the best cake they had in this shop!

I had a wonderful time at lunch. Thank you to you all! =)
