Pokefloral trail

Ever since we started playing Pokémon go, my mobile album is full of photos of places we visited.  To put it more precise, they are mainly photos of plants/flowers, and a small number of scenery and buildings of these places.  In other to house keep my phone, I want to post them, so that I can start deleting them.  So here's the compilation:
 
 
ECP - we went there multiple times, to catch Voltorb, Magnemite, and Pikachu.  (This flower is really very special, I shall post one more picture of it individually after writing this post)
 
 
 
It rained very heavily on 17th Sep night, so the park is full of fallen branches on the 18th morning.  The middle picture is a tree that had fallen previously and had grew new roots. 
 
ECP again on a weekday after I drove WK to the airport and was on leave.. 

 
 
Bishan park was nest for several items in the past, such as Geodude, Machop, and most recently Jynx.


We went MBS very often, to catch Dratini and other rarer stuff.  Once we were there for Kabutos.



Here's a random photo in my phone of this flower at TPY Lor 3 market place.


We sometimes go to Garden's by the bay from MBS area.

Here's another weekday, when Lynn's holiday started, that WK and I took her to ECP.  I remember it was this day that we first caught a Ditto (at Liang Court before we came here).

Other than ECP, Bishan park, and MBS, we went to new places too. 

This day, we came here for Omanyte

This day we went Bedok reservoir for something (a nest), but I can't remember what. 

At the beginning of Dec, we have visited a lot of nests, and it was the first time that went after rare pokemon.  We use SGpokemap.  That morning, we went after a Aerodactyl at Woodlands but miss it by a few minutes.  Then we spotted a newly spawned Hitmonchan at Senoko, drove there and successfully caught it.  Afterwards, we drove to Sengkang park for Jynx (nest).  It was my first time at Sengkang.  This new town gave me a rather deserted feeling.
 




And this morning, we we visited MBSS again, I took pictures of the rarer white and yellow lotus flowers. 


OK, here's the picture of that very special flower at ECP.  So now, I can start deleting a lot of pictures from my mobile liao...

BD, gathering and celebration

(July and August)

Wk turned 44 this July; time flies.. Had a very simple, early celebration for him at home as I need to travel during his BD week:


Had a farewell dinner for the Tianjin plant FM during the business trip. I seldom post about my currently job, so here a photo of the colleagues from the northern plants.


Made it back in time for Ginny's BD dinner on 1st August. It had been some years since we celebrated her BD together. Right now, Joc is organizing a gathering in October for Deloitte gp 5 1996, to celebrate our 20th year anniversary of friendship! 

National day weekend came around; Lynn was invited to Victoria's (our Indian neighbor) BD party.  Here's a picture that WK took for them.


And I tried to organize a picnic for our family together with mum. But it rained hard that evening. So we ended up bringing the food to grandma's house and shared it with aunt YY too.  For the records, it was spaghetti beef Bolognese and chicken rice, which are both yummy!!


The Pokemon go fever had started, so Wk brought Lynn to bishan park on the Monday before national day holiday.  And they walked all the way to J8!


Pinsir on my bed!!!


And then on national day, I went Bangkok with Lili for a short holiday..

Update X

Sunday 17 July, one more weekend before my business trips and holiday trip starts.. 

Mabel came to stay over on Saturday, so we took her along to ECP on Sunday morning. So unlike the previous week, Lynn has company. They actually went into the sea, for about an hour, before Lynn complained about being bitten by a crab!  

 

And finally, here's some random photos of life around the neighborhood..

Dragon's neighbourhood

Yet another post about my neighbourhood (19/20 March).  

It is the first weekend after Grandma's funeral.  It was still March school holiday on Saturday, so Lynn had no tuition that day.  I had wanted to go Gardens by the Bay that afternoon, but WK's schedule didn't fit.  Anyway, that morning, Lynn and I went for our usual breakfast, but did quite a detour "chasing cats and flowers". 









On Sunday morning,  we passed by a "Art at Your Neighbourhood" event.  We were attracted by the craft making, so we signed up on the spot.   Since SG50, the dragon playground has become the icon of TPY. Half way through the craft, I suddenly noticed that Joanne Peh is seated at the same table as us, but I didn't manage to get a photo of her.

Chingay at TPY


This took place on 5th March, Saturday. Took sweetie to Lorong1 for the carnival at 6+ but tickets were sold out, so we didn't get to play there. We ate ice cream and waffles as we waited for the parade.  Finally it started at 8 sharp. My favourite is the float from POSB.
