Omelette! My first attempt at trying to cook an omelette by myself using the stove. Haha.
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 4 cherry tomatoes
- 1 slice of ham
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- Pepper
Ingredients:
All prepared to be cooked:
Well it turned out slightly oily and was a bit dry on the inside but luckily it was not burnt. :) Must remember to turn down the fire a little next time.
The finished product:

My 8th geocache find - From Grammy's Attic, GCXE7V
Decided to attempt this cache today despite the rain the night before and the sky that threatened to rain today. Alighted at the bus-stop near the (already up) MacDonald's Drive-thru. Headed in a straight line towards the trees..... Wait... Something's not right here. Deep 5m into the jungle, I decided that this was not another Private Wars AKA Ex-xiong. Felt like a fool when I walked out.
Anyway I took a short hike up the small hill as I was too lazy to walk over to the staircase.
GZ 1:
Found the first clue quite easily; the coordinates were spot on. Very nice idea of hiding the first clue. You exercise a lot whitewizard? . First clue was easy to retrieve although there were elderly muggles around.
Clue in hiding:
Coordinates of final cache inside clue:
Got the coordinates to the final GZ, and reached there rather quickly.
Path to final cache:
Final GZ:
Saw the velcro tape that Zeng mentioned, but could not see the final cache. Used a flashlight to illuminate the area around it, but could not find it. Just then a muggle decided to call the GZ his home and started to stretch around. Had to watch him for a while but he quickly moved away. (I guess it feels weird having someone watch you do your workout. :) ) Finally retrieved the final geocache!
Around the park I ran, with my GPSr in hand.
In search of grammy's bountiful store, instead I saw grandpa's and ma's galore.
The hanging gardens of the park I ventured, on another great adventure.
Of course I enjoyed myself.
Thought I did not see the ''lizard'',
I still say, ''TFTC The Old White Wizard!''

My 7th geocache find - Emily Rose, GCT7A6.
This was the second cache of the day, first was Santa Klutz. Took the train from Orchard, changed train and alighted at Little India. Took a nice hike to GZ.
Mt Emily Park:
It was quite hot and humid today. Even though I didn't walk much nor hunt a lot for the cache, I was already perspiring in the shade.
GZ:
Cache in hiding:
Found the cache easily as I spotted an object that did not look it could end up that without a human doing so!
Alas! Cache has been muggled! By a fellow geocacher... =.= Cache is intact, along with the ziplock bag used to hold the TB, but the TB Outback Cat is missing! Double-checked the cache hiding area to make sure that I didn't accidentally drop it. Yup. Another earlier geocacher noted that the TB is missing too.
Blowing bubbles on a sunny day:
Anyway, TFTC IndianaJanes!

Out: Silver dolphin statue

My 6th geocache find! Santa Klutz, GCRPPD. (Pictures below).
Woke up early this morning to attempt this cache, due to weather forecasts predicting heavy rains in the late morning and afternoon. Got dad to drop me off near GZ and began a short walk to the tree. Like the others, I was barking up the wrong tree initially, but after consulting my GPSr finally got the right tree. GZ was a little damp because it rained the night before, but thankfully there was no mud.
GZ:
Quick insertion and exit at the tree, having seen the clue already. Lots and lots of muggles around, ranging from the garderners to the sweepers (who kept glaring at me suspiciously), to the everyday office workers, and the tourists.
Cache in hiding:
Quickly snapped a few shots, and sat down to read logs. Who would believe that in such an area there were mosquitoes? Yep, there sure was a swarm around.
Had to wait for 2 muggles to look away and for the coast to be clear before darting back to replace the cache.
TFTC Indianajanes! Clue was very helpful.
In: Rubber cake figurine
Out: Hawaiian slipper keychain.

Today marks the 41st birthday of our nation, Singapore! A tiny country which had its humble beginnings as a humble fishing village is now one of the world's leading economies and arguably the best military in South-East Asia. No easy feat for a tiny red dot on the world map eh.
Anyway my family 2 other relatives managed to get hold of tickets to go to watch the National Day Parade 2006 at the National Stadium at Kallang! It's the last NDP that's going to be held there so goodbye to the stadium of memories. It's also my FIRST ever NDP! We left the house at 3pm and the parade started at 6pm. Well, Í took so many pictures so I'll let them do the talking...
Big pile of goodie bags:
Sea of red:
Future of Singapore, flying our flag high:
Target float for ''Red Lions" - parachuters:
Red Lions in the sky trailing coloured smoke:
Red lion breezing in:
Parade at rest:
Guard-of-honour (Navy):
State flag flown by Chinook helicopter flanked by 2 Apache helicopters:
Crimson red sunset (the best I've seen in Singapore!):
Night performance:
Flares out of float:
Lit performers' lamps:
Lit balloon:
Powerful spotlight:
Spotlight beams:
Fireworks!:
"Made in Singapore"
