It's the time of the year...

for ice skating! Ice skating rings are popping up all around Moscow at this time of the year. I doubt there are any russians that cannot ice skate hahah (I'm exaggerating) So to immerse into Russian's winter culture, we brought our skates down to Gorky Park to have some fun!

I may not be able to skate now but I sure can balance! hah I'll be practising my skating skills and hopefully I will be able to glide smoothly by the end of winter ;)

The ring at Gorky Park is amazing, it is unlike the rings in Singapore that is only 1 rectangle space. This ring is practically the walking path of the park where we can skate to the restaurants for a cuppa of coffee or have some food etc. Basically, it is easier to get around on skates then if you are walking. There are some areas that will not even be accessible if you are not skating.

Everyone was having so much fun! I can't wait to visit all the other ice skating rings around Mosow! Till the next skating session :)

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! Go! team 4!!), inaugural trip to Penang on Jetstar with a budget of SGD60. 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...
