If only every monday is like this...

Don't you love the greenery... Being close to nature once in a while is definitely good for one's spiritual well being.

I totally enjoyed my Monday leave... Being able to wake up without an alarm clock on a weekday, esp on a Monday is an amazing feeling :) Also, it has been a long time since I went to the Botanical Gardens and a long time since I went for a picnic! With der and myself being on leave, we decided to make full use of it.

I prepared some simple food and got der to carry it in an obiang recycle bag haha serve him right for not helping at all! We managed to get KOI as there was no queue.

The famous swan lake... I remember feeding the fishes and tortoises at this pond and looking at awe at the swans when I was a kid as they came on shore. I remember there was a black swan last time. But we only spot these 2 swans now.

Check out the blue sky.. Fortunately for us, it was a cloudy day. So we found a breezy spot under a big tree. Surprisingly, there were a few groups out there having a picnic too.

We laid out the table.

So do something different once in a while. It'll do you good :)

The Orange Timber

Today was a pretty chill day, walking around, eating and reading my book! It has been a long time since I walked along Blk 85 market. I think the last time was during my sec sch days, on my way back to my grandma house after sch. Since I had breakfast there with my grandma today, I showed der the old sch cake shop where Cham and I bought a huge cream cake (not those fanciful ones we get these days) and finished it all by ourselves under the void deck! Der and I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a slice each :) Strawberry vs blueberry...Only $1.10 each. Those miniture ones that are sold at toast box cost $1.20 and they are only 1/3 the size of this! What a rip off for something nostalgia... Later in the evening, we decided to chill at The Orange Timber @ Tiong Bahru The Orange Timber is a cafe cum art gallery. The plates are bowl used were also meant to be something nostalgia once again... hah However, I use those cutlery at home too. There are like 3 sections to this small cafe...

Happy Chinese New Year!
