Road Trip: Changi Broadwalk

On the last day before we had to return the car, Raphel was determined to bring me to Changi Broadwalk.



Unfortunately due to my own schedule, we were unable to head there during sunset to grab a lovely picture. Thus, we decided to just head there after lunching at Changi Village. Yum!



With the clear blue skies and the sound of the waves, one can't help but fall in love with this quiet lovely place.



And it's surely not called a broadwalk for nothing.



The adorable 'small' Raphel and me along the walkways.

As well as some couple shots.







One can seriously be amazed at how we manage to find ways to capture couple pics when it's just the two of us =D

Road Trip: Sentosa Flower Festival

Our road trip this time continued to the shores of Sentosa, as we made our way to Sentosa's yearly Flower Festival.



To me, it held something special, as we came by this exhibition last year as well, only with a different status.



Armed with his DSLR, I was sure to make myself useful by volunteering to help carry his tripod =)



Even so, that did not keep my hands off my puny P&S, so I got to work myself. It's a pity my shots of the bees weren't that great, but yes, we were busy 'running' after all the busy bees...

I guess the highlight of the day however was when we saw the swans! Yes, if any of you read the previous entries, it was all thanks to Raphel that I blocked a whole swan in a picture of mine. To date, the Boy still has the cheek to laugh at me when he was the photographer!

But this time, I made sure he got it right...



And I even took a nice picture of him too, to return the favour =)

Anyway, with us deciding to go on a weekday (thankfully), the crowd wasn't too bad, hence allowing us to queue up for couple shoots in the designated areas.







Tis something really special for us this year =)

Road Trip: Henderson Waves

Guess our exploration never stops =)





The waves are seriously pretty! =)

I never knew that Henderson Waves was quite high off the road, as I was filled with awe when the Boy drove past it. But my awe was soon taken over by slight worry, as I realised that there was quite a steep slope up the hill. And with me being in high heels, it surely wasn't an easy feat trying to make my way downhill! Plus the bridge had parquet flooring, which meant that every step I made would make a loud thud. Imagine my embarrassment in such a quiet place!





But it still was fun being with Raphel and enjoying tranquility of the place (minus my heel-thudding sound!)

Then again, it's because of this visit that I'm starting to feel more and more limitations of my P&S!! Boo... I've already been contemplating on getting a DSLR, and this is surely a sign... =P

Road Trip: Jurong Hill

Our adventure continues as this time, we made our way to Jurong Hill after our first day of visiting.

It was such a serene place, I can't help but feel at peace.



Up and up the spiral walk.



I'm guessing this is Jurong Island.





And here's me and my Boy, enjoying each other's company =)

Road Trip: Marina Barrage & A Sneak Peak of Rochester Park

Raphel decided to rent a car during this festive period. And this gave us the ability to travel around Singapore, especially to the more inaccessible areas. First up: Marina Barrage.

Unfortunately, we got a little lost due to some miscommunication. But thankfully, due to Raphel's road instinct, we finally got back on track. And seriously, one is not able to get to Marina Barrage without a car, especially at night when you would love to see its night lights and enjoy the lovely breeze. Here's sharing what I got with my puny P&S.




The fountain and its lights.




Here's its architectural curves. My fav being the top left picture.



And a view from the top.





And finally, the ever classic view of the flyer from Marina Barrage.

Hopefully Raphel will be able to showcase his better quality pictures from his DSLR soon too =)

Wanting to make full use of the night, Raphel decided to head to Rochester Park as well, before heading off for prata supper. And with us not willing to pay to enter, we just took a walk around the restaurants and bars, before settling for a picture.



Perhaps one day, we'll really make our way into the bars/restaurants for a nice chill-out session =)

PS Cafe

With the continuation of our foodie craze, this time round we ended up at PS Cafe, at the Palais branch. With a colonial British style, the layout of the place was really lovely, as they had both indoor and outdoor seating. It gives you a quiet yet relaxing mood to enjoy your meals with much tranquility. And the interesting thing was, even though we were actually going there for lunch, we were instead served with the brunch menu.


Chicken in a Basket

Egg Benedict

Overall, the food was quite good, as Nahele had a nice Chicken in a Basket, while I had the Egg Benedict. But look at the portion! It's so unfair! Knowing the girl's pattern, I had to help her with the food, which I gladly did so of course. =P And with a little chat through the process of food tasting, we soon ended off and head on down to do our crazy shopping!! =P

MacRitchie Tree Top Walk

Since it is a brand new year, Nahele and I decided to come up with new activities to make it an eventful, yet exciting year for both of us. It was just as convenient that one of my buddy came up with the idea of going trekking at the MacRitchie Tree Top Walk. Hence off we went on a early Sunday morning. It was our first time being there, so it kind of got us really excited and perked up.

Not only us, the whole group also got excited. A "brilliant" idea suggested by one of my buddy, got us choosing the longer route than usual, taking us a total of 3hrs to get to the Tree Top Walk. And guess the distance we covered?? 5km!! And the worse thing was tat the whole tree top walk is just about 250m!

Some nice scenes along the trek

Don't be fooled by the signs, it's certainly longer than that!

Nevertheless, all of us made it in th end, with me motivating and pulling the rest along. =) Nahele was dead tired upon reaching the Tree Top Walk. Plus her stomach was growling!!

It was another 5km of walk back to the reservoir where we had started!! And this time round, the journey was filled with ups and downs of stairs and slopes. The girl was dead beat, judging from her expression on her face. Just like a dead fish. =P But of course, everyone was not quitters. It was not long before we hit a road. That's when we decided to follow through and discover civilization. Yup pee...We smell food!! =D
