Let's Bike It! (Велопарад)

This was a project launched to draw attention to ecological problems and to demonstrate the convenience of cycling. It is the 3rd time this event is held in Moscow.

Cycling event is a first for me. I have not joined any cycling events back in Singapore before. It turned out pretty fun but super exhausting! I think it got to do with the bike too. The rental bikes in Moscow are very heavy. Renting a bike in Moscow cost 900 rubles for 4-6 hours.

We were greeted by a massive crowd of bikers at the start line at 10.30am in the morning. People played dressed up, music was booming, nice bikes all around.. it was a great crowd :)

All ready at the start line...

The roads were closed for half a day just for this event. Cars on the opposite side of the road that was not closed were honking, waving and cheering whenever we cycled passed.

The group of Singaporeans that attended the cycling event. We cycled a total of about 20km.

I look forward to more such events! :)

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!

JetSaver Light Challenge - Penang Trip

A very big Thank You to Jetstar and JetSaver Light! We had an AWESOME trip. Not only was it a cultural and stomach full filling trip filled with nothing but one of the very best food :), we also experienced the affable nature of the people in Penang and most importantly, we made many friends to keep :) Below was the itinerary that got us selected. And we're proud to say that we completed everything mentioned and accomplished even more. Wednesday, 1st July marks JetSaver Light inaugural flight to Penang and also our, team 4's (GO!

After the initial briefing and collecting of our SGD60 which we converted to RM144 , we were all ready and excited to jet off. Checking out the duty free at terminal 1 before boarding . Upon our arrival at Penang, we were warmly welcomed by a group of local performers . A surprising start to the trip. A photo taken together with 2 of the performers outside Penang International...
