So Near Yet So Far

26 November 2006.

The Quintet's Open House.

TOP obtained. But where the heck are our KEYS?!?!?! *sulk*

The Jacuzzi area...

Not sure if we can enter this rocky area.

Jacuzzi pic 3!

Another view of the jacuzzi. Nicccceeeee.....

My unit! Can it be any more obvious?

The same pic as that in the newspapers. But in the day. Looks so peacful... kinda like Genting when the haze was around. Heh.

View From The Balcony

We managed to sneak up to our unit and lo and behold! Our door was OPEN! Apparently they lock the doors so it was quite heng we managed to get in. Here's the view from our balcony/planter area. (Left View)


Here's a closer-up shot of the view, from the master bedroom. Love the greenery :)

And the POOL view. Woo hoo!

The view from the back of the block, aka the front door.... confused yet? Heh. It was very windy... BUT the wind was coming from the back aka the front door (hah) and because we bought a 3-bedroom unit, we don't have a back window. So no wind for us. Boo. Hopefully the wind will also come from the side. ;p


Some of the units that get the afternoon sun. HOT!

Carpark Rooftop

The rooftop of the carpark. Foot reflexology and er... some landscaped thingy.


The tennis court. Wonder what would happen if we lob the ball out of the court and hit someone's window or car.... The basketball court's on the left.

The rooftop barbeque area. No idea who would book these pits cos it's such a hassle to bring food up here despite the availability of a lift. Anyway, there are two pits just below my block. And those come with a table and chairs. And a great view of the... canal. heh.


Parting shot. View from the roof of the carpark.

Oh. Didn't take any pics of the flat itself cos too dusty/dirty. The flush was working though.


Er... here's a (very ugly) drawing of the layout which is SO not to scale. Heh. Just to an idea of what it looks like. Think there's something wrong with my mouse. It gives me less than solid lines.

So everything looks fine and dandy.... where are our darn keys?!?!

Pulau Ubin

Took a short trip over to Ubin on Saturday last week. It was only for a while cos we went quite late and by the time we reach there it was around 4 plus. Went off the beaten trek (the only way to chek jawa) but ended up turning back halfway cos it was around 6 plus by then and it was getting dark. Didn't want to have to cycle back in the dark.

Along the way we cycled pass this cat that was in the middle of the road. It saw us coming but didn't care and continue sitting in the middle of the road. We didn't expect to see it on the way back but we did. We stopped and it decided to lie down and flip itself a few times. Quite funny and very cute.

The face machiam as big as an orange. Bone structure wide. Heh. Here's a video of its flip.



Pictures coming up when I have time.

Seeing Star (Wars)

Went to view The Art of Star Wars on 1 Apr (2 days before the exhibition ended). The Science Centre had tonnes of kids running around (even in the exhibition). One of the highlights I guess were the appearance of the various characters (pple dressed in costume) from 2pm to 3pm.

PHOTO OP! (Pics to come).

Darth Vadar supposed to be tall and menancing right? Then I think they want to make sure that Darth Vadar is tall enough, they got some shortie to be the storm trooper. Quite sad but also quite funny. I think the storm trooper not much taller than I am. Heh.

Queued for tix and this is what we got for $18:

Ticket



Brochure



Postcard



Complimentary Notepad



Complimentary Medallion

The back of the medallion actually quite DUH.

There are supposed to be pics but they are with John. So... here's a prelude to the exhibition courtesy of the brochure.
