Then after a busy day touring the sights… It was quick time go home to meet Hupps and Mama for dinner… then get dressed up to party at St James Power Station with Ian and Jean for a bit of a boogie!!

Strolling into bed about 3am… I think to myself… Oh boy - I’m tired!!!

Today’s plans were a trip to the zoo and night safari.. However, only managed to enjoy the zoo as towards the evening it started to rain… Oh no - Pri brought the rain with her!!!!

Pri arrived yesterday arvo, after a super-duper mission flight!

Checked her into our home… gave her a chilled out tour of AMK.. and then planned the rest of her stay… Following her guide book - we thought we would sort of go thru the list….

So following the list - we went out for dinner and let her try Bak Kut Teh…. She wasn’t gonna try anything too trendy like pig’s intestines/insides…. Don’t blame her really cos, I’m not exactly a fan of them either… They stink!!!!

Then it was a brief tour of Mustafa… Huppy originally said to me that she would be back there more than once cos she’ll love it! And guess what? Pri and I have planned another shopping day at Mustafa!!! A full day!!! hehe

Early night tonight.. cos early wake-up tomorrow!

Today is the day Pri-pri is meant to arrive… All the way from the U er K!!

We were scheduled to pick her up from T1 just after lunch time… So we thought we’d make it a family day out! Let’s go see Terminal 3!!! It’s recently built and meant to be really nice! Any excuse not to work eh!

My first impressions…
-Fanatastic ceiling
-Love the open space

Today, we went to the Singapore Airshow at Changi Exhibition Centre…. Thanks to Uncle for the tickets… Waking up early and cooking ourselves a fry-up breakfast - we were all set!

Although cloudy, it was a lovely hot day.. and the place was heaving! Saw many different planes, helicopters, fighter jets etc… Was really interesting talking to pilots and their crew! Esp. loved the “hurricaine hunters”!

We were all excited to tour the new Airbus 380…. but when we got to that section - it was strictly invitation only… Oh nvm…. maybe we’ll be able to fly on it one day?

Closer to the time of the flying display, Uncle had organised buffet lunch for us at an air-conned restaurant - with spectacular views of the displays…. Was fantastic not to be on the ground with all the other people under the beating sun!!! Loved it cos we didn’t have to queue for any tables and walked straight in! We could even pop to the outdoor mezzanine if we wanted to see the flying display outside! Cold drinks, food, dessert, restaurant’s private mezzanine, in the luxury of air-con.. what more could you ask for?!

Must say, it was a really great day… partly because it was different and we had the comfort of being able to relax and enjoy the event in style….

Did you know it’s Chinese Valentine’s Day today? So to continue with the love theme: Let love remain beautiful

“Love is like a mountain,
Hard to climb
But once you’re at the top,
It’s beautiful…”

When I was younger, I always wanted a cat… I wasn’t really interested in dogs as I had so many pet dogs, it scared me! One bulldog and 12 Yorkshire Terriers… I know - alot eh! As years passed, the idea of a cat drifted out of my mind until…

Recently, I saw a beautiful doll face persian kitten in a shop window… It was so cute and simply spectacular…. This is the cat I wanted when I was younger… White or chocolate coloured hair with blue eyes… A friend of mine had this type of cat and I’ve loved it since I met it… I mean, the soft hair, round eyes, the cuteness, the expressive and beautiful flat face!!! The sweet and gentle nature…

Looking at the different types of cats.. I came across a breed which was also really cute… the Ragaper…. This is the result of crossing the breeds Persian and Ragamuffin! Simply divine!!!

Hehe, this is funny… I didn’t know Singapure had its own breed of cats too!!! - The Singapura cats!!! Really huge eyes on a small face!!! Can’t really say I’ve noticed these in the streets of Singa, but I’m sure I’ll start noticing!

People always associate cats with spinsters… Ummm!!! Well, maybe I’ll susbstitute children with cats!?!?!? Lots of cats!!! I’m sure my Huppy would love that!? But, on a serious note…. Can’t really get my desired cat at the moment, as I simply don’t have the time to care for cats… I mean, grooming it daily, bathing it…. But you never know - if I have the time!!!???
