Fun-filled Halloween Day

Happy Halloween!

I had planned to visit Punggol Beach and Chinese Garden today. It was a day filled with unplanned and unorganised activities and to top it up, I was late this morning. I was supposed to organise the activities today but I was very busy with deadlines at work and had forgotten to check the directions to Punggol Beach. Hence, KC and I ended up with ad-hoc plans and follow-our-instincts routes.

Instead of Punggol Beach, we arrived at Punggol Jetty. The place was so deserted. We were surprised that we could still catch a bus there. There were a couple of families and some hobbyists fishing when we arrived at the jetty. We spent less than half an hour at the jetty.

After Punggol Jetty, we decided to head to Holland Village. The village presents suburban living of Singapore. We are supposed to be able to find many handicraft shops and lifestyle boutiques, but all we saw was some well-known international eateries such as Coffee Bean, Sushi Tei, Coffee Club and Crystal Jade Restaurant.

She offered to pose!

By the time we finished touring Holland Village, our legs could not take it anymore. We decided go back to Orchard Road to look for a place to rest because in less than 2 hours, we would need to head back to Holland Village for dinner with Hiew Ming. She was in Singapore with her friend today!

No sofas *sob* Ended up at TCC (The Coffee Connoisseur) for coffee and free sofas

Dinner with Hiew Ming and her friend was at Holland Drive Blk 46. She recommended that we settle at the Big D's Grill located at the basement of the flat. The food was not bad. We ordered Kurabuta Pork Loin (Hiew Ming's and friend's) and Boneless Chicken Leg (KC's and mine). We also ordered a single person's XO Fish Head Noodle from another stall there. We ate, chat, laughed and waited for the rain to stop.

That's the end of a 12-hour outing on Halloween Day. So so so tired.
Also, Happy 21st Birthday to my sister, Pei Ling, who is busy entertaining her friends now :p
