BUSY OCTOBER

Oct has indeed been a busy month for me.

Bobby arrived at the beginning of Oct for training. Derrick, Raymond and I met up with him for dinner. Most the time during his trip was busy with work but we met up again for dinner before his went back to Tokyo.

Jeff came and talked about going in to JB and I agreed. Raymond came along. We had to take the 2nd Link as it was jam packed at Woodlands. Went behind Sutera Mall for body massage. Well, it was more of a 'torture'! Drove to Tampoi for lunch - the usual place famous for boiled fish. The fish was delicious! We manged to do some shopping before we rushed back to Singapore and met up with Alan for dinner.

Wallace and Frankie came in the middle of the month with 2 other friends. Busy few days! Met up with them on Friday for dinner and drinks; Saturday started with morning walk at the Southern Ridges and then lunch at Vicocity. Went to Katong to have Katong Laksa and also the Teochew Soon Kueh. Then its back to Chinatown and let them loose for a coupe of hours
before meeting them and bringing them to Joo Chiat area for pepper crabs! After dinner, we went back to the hotel (Fullerton) and had a wonderful time chatting and talking about each other's experience!
Sunday was a shopping day at Orchard and then followed with dinner at Katong ....steamboat! since it was the last night,w e decided to go back to the hotel for another chit-chat session. It was really fun and we had Derrick and Raymond with us!

The week after, Daddy and Win arrived. This time they stayed at Ibis Singapore (Bugis). With them, its always makan and more makan. We had dinner on their arrival on Friday with Derrick. Saturday was lunch at Orchard and then let loose at Chinatown. Dinner was at with many people....a restaurant near Kembangan MRT. Gerald, Wong, Tony, Yas, Derrick, Raymond, Joseph, me and the Thais!
After dinner, we went to the Cheesecake Cafe and had cheesecake!
Met up with them on Sunday for lunch at Vivocity and also ice cream at Ben & Jerry before bidding farewell.

A new friend from Russia, ALexey, stop over in Singapore on his way to Bali. Took the morning off to catch up breakfast with him and showed him around Chinatown and Raffles Place vicinity. It was really hot walking around in business attire! At least, he was grateful that I took time off to show him around!

Another friend, from China, called in last weekend. Had dinner at Chinatown and managed to show him Clarke Quay and Boat Quay. The night was made interesting as it was Halloween Night! Many people came in costumes and make-ups!

Every weekend I had friend(s) from overseas and I have to admit that I ain't as young and energetic as I used to me. I have to thank Raymond who was always there to help me take care of them. At least, I am sure he had a great time with them!
