NYC update

Only 2 photos to wrap up the New York's chapter due to time constraint. From now onwards only selected photos will be posted, I will try my best to do a proper update when I'm back in Singapore!


I am currently spending my 2nd night in Orlando, Florida. Went to the Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom park today, simply awesome! I will be gg to another 2 parks in the next 2 days!

nicely done

final days on the island

My last few days on the island last week can be summarised into the following:
- watching a ballet performance by students

- luncheon with fellow Associate of the Month nominees
- dinner @ Bistro

mini picnic

On last Thursday, I had a mini picnic together with Alex, Lydia, Maddie and Jenny along the coastline near downtown. We bought takeaway chicken wings and french fries from Goodfellow's. It's a pity we could not see the sunset as it was quite a cloudy day.

What a nice way to end off the breezy evening!

Millie's / Starbucks / Horn's

Went downtown in search of food with Lingling, Lydia and Michelle on Wednesday evening. After much consideration, we finally decided to try Millie's on Main.

no whipped cream on my hot chocolate?!

We ordered turkey wrap and chicken tenders to share, they tasted well but the servings were miserable.

After the meal we went to Starbucks where Lydia bought a cup of strawberries & creme frappuccino and I bought a cup of iced green tea latte.

We went to Horn's Bar later in the night and had some specialty drinks.
~ passion fruit martini, pomegranate margarita, rum runner, pomegranate martini ~

The 3 of them left around midnight due to work the next day while I joined the rest (Russell, Sean, Nina, Olivia, Penny and Amanda) for the rest of the night.

fulfilling OFF day

On Tuesday which was my last official off day, I went to have lunch at Goodfellow's with the rest who were either off or working later in the afternoon.

After lunch I went to Fort Mackinac with Olivia as both of us have not gone there b4.

it was interesting to learn the American rifle drills

soldiers getting ready to perform on the parade ground

they sang a couple of folk songs and ended off with a simple mass dance

We left after the rifle firing demonstration

Went to the Great Turtle Park in the evening with Alex to play soccer with a few Jamaican colleagues

We played non-stop for more than an hour but it was good workout nevertheless.

Went down to the BBQ pit where the same gang was preparing for the second consecutive BBQ in two days! We tried the Singapore Satay recipe and it turned out very nice.

What a way to end off my last off day on the island!

~ 3 more days to go ~
