My sister’s birthday
We went to this Disney Restaurant for dinner. It came highly recommended by my aunt, but we were in for a bit of a surprise. We were under the impression that that restaurant was big and at least of Sizzler’s class of dinnning. But it turned out to be some tiny fast food-ish place that overcharges (a LOT), that has a Disney logo, and serves Mickey-shaped pizzas.

The Exterior didn’t look too bad YET..

Walk in… Does this look like a restaurant to you? Or does it a Candy store?

My sister up close… while waiting

the place was well done up with disney characters and kiddy designs

This macaroni and cheese cost ten bucks!

The signature Mickey Mouse Pizza… (about the size of a pizza hut personal pan – $15!)

National Library sky garden – really windy and with a pretty nice view (a good place to study – if i ever need to again… reminds me of amkss days)

Tommy tried on this very yellow, yellow shirt. Rachel if you are seeing this, he wants your opinion on this shirt as he needs ur assurance before blowing money on it.

Oh and I went to the PC show to buy harddisks, printer ink, etc few days before that.

Also, I’m going to Vietnam tomorrow… will be back with an update next Wednesday…

If you remembered, sometime late last year, I tried making my Update Checker in flash, which worked great on my computer, but just showed ‘loading…’ when uploaded. (STUPID Flash security $@!#*!#&)

But, after spending a few hours re-learning abit of php and doing alot of trial and errors, ITS DONE Check it out on the left-side bar ==========>
My aim is to make this Update Checker customizable to everyone… but looks like thats not gonna happen any time in the near future. It currently only works for blogger cos I’m too lazy to recode for those livejournal people. Will work on it when I feel like it again. (so thats like a LONG time from now) Oh well

after not skating since before the Os, I decided to try a distance skate from my house to North Point.

This journey of 9.9km took about 50mins…

this is the expressway after the end of YCK, apparently after some road works, someone forgot to paint in the zebra crossing, so i had to wait for a long time (look at the never-ending car flow)

the road was extremely narrow!

the canal leading to the lower seletar reservoir, just before entering Yishun South

officially entered YISHUN!

i just came up that slope

the brand new yishun park connectors!

under the MRT tracks

the Kahtib Pond

i skated through all thouse pigeons!

AT LAST! North Point Shopping Centre

i skated in to be welcomed (yeah right..) by some school choir

huanqing was working at Cold Storage to promote beer

i went to mac to fix her macbook pro!
Time taken
Home-Yishun (skate) ==> 50mins
Repair Laptop ==> 1hr 10min
MRT+ Feeder Bus Home ==> 1hr 15mins!!
———————-
ok, so by some stroke of (bad) luck, taking public transportation (at peak hr) is slower than skating (anytime)!
