Punggol Marina


Driving
I drove to Punggol Marina today. I went there after I sent Su to school. My feet were hurting but I was adamant to do something about. Hence my code for the year "do something about it". Have not been successful the past few weeks to continue my "take photo in the morning routing".

Punggol Marina
Spent about an hour there. Wondered if I took some keepers home with me. The light was  flat and, admittedly, there are only so much you can "look see". The sun was not up yet, well it out but not up so even though the day was clear, the light was flat. I thought that it was a wasted trip. Anyway took some pictures, almost 4GB of them and there were keepers. Uploaded some into my flickr account.

Lens
I know I had promised Su that I would not buy a new lens but I did. I bought the Contax 28mm 2.8 for $465. I think I need to sell something. 

Will be reading today. Have my cup of coffee in front of me and my books. Will be reading Frankestine. Thats a thick book.

Masai





Went to Masai last weekend. Stayed over from Friday midnight to Sunday morning. We went to Desaru from there via Pasir Gudang, managed to catch a soccer game at Pasir Gudang Stadium, ate a lot and had lots of fun drives in Dad's new Toyota Hilux. I managed to cause a slight indentation on my sister's car as I was reversing the Hilux. What a bummer. Had the best durians there and also lost of food.

There were several first in all that happened of course. It was our first away game, it was our first driving a Malaysian plated car, and it was our first drive into Pasir Gudang. It was our first more than 1 night stay at Dad's.

Adam made a toy.

Via Flickr:
He joined a toy making class held in school.

This is the toy that he made with his grandmother. It is supposed to be a flapping bird but I think it is unfinished. Good job though.

Pasir Ris Park






Went to Pasir Ris Park yesterday. Went there with Su, Adam, Irsyad and Wan. It was a good walk for me except that my leg started to give way on the walk back. Irsyad was taught how plants and animals adapt to a different environment. Don't know whether he will remember what was taught. Adam was more interested though. Love the way, he took pictures using his iPhone. Also loved the way he recounts what he saw during the field trip.

Both he and Su want to set up an aquarium. Again. I hope this works.

Car in the workshop, engine overheating. Hope it will be a simple matter.
