Chinese and Japanese Garden Singapore

Abbey:
From bahay, nag-bus kami papuntang Woodlands MRT (Red line), then Clementi (Green line) at last stop is Chinese Garden. Makulimlim pa lang nung umalis kami, pero pagdating sa garden bumuhos na talaga ang ulan. Nung medyo humina na, we proceed sa pasyal namin. Una namin nakita yung Chinese tower. Parang kasing laki nung tower na nakikita ko sa Naruto PSP game, yung hidden mugenjo. hehehe. Nakita din namin yung statue ni Hua Mula (Mulan) . Nagulat si Wilma kasi totoo daw pala si Mulan. We also take picture sa grass art nila na hugis dragon. Tapos merong koi garden din. Sa Japanese garden naman, merong horoscope at bonsai garden. A word of advise lang sa Japanese garden, mag-iingat kapag umuualan at talagang madulas ang mga bato (hindi ako nadulas, nagpapayo lang po). On the way back, puro putik ang tsinelas namin. Kaya nagtampisaw kami sa konting baha dun. Ayun, parang nagkaroon ng chemical reaction yung tubig sa mga slippers namin kaya parang nalusaw. We munched our chichi on the way sa MRT. Until we got home, hindi tumigil ang ulan. Pero it was a nice stroll.













WILL: The rain is coming, the rain is coming, the rain is cominggg.. :). We supposed to do a DIY pre-nup shoot here, but we were blessed by a rain. Yan tuloy konti lng yung ngamit namin sa tripod ni Pareng Arnold (hehe, close kami). 
     In this kind of situation matatry ang tatag ng mood mo and ng partner mo. Ayun, imbes magngangawa kami ni Abbey because our plan didn't work, ayun we just jumped out sa trip ng ulan.
     Chinese Garden, sobrang daming statues, malamang mga heroes nila yun. I am in joy nung makita ko si Hua Mulan. Isa sa mga fave movie ko yun from Walt Disney kasi. Then of course, mawawala ba ang dragons sa Chinese? You can roam around the whole CG in less than an hour. 
     Hai! The Japanese Garden is more of bonsai, malamang! hehe, but when you will just observe their structures eh makikita mo na malaki ang similarities. 
     You can enjoy here also yung mga malalaking turtles, may entrance fee nga lng S$5.00 ata,but the gardens, of course it is free.. hehehe.. 
     You can do picnic here pero dahil nga its raining, even kite flying namin eh napurnada. Pero oks lng, we have bonded, a different bonding, closer, kasi we got only ONE umbrella.
     Go and see this place, endure with Chinese and Japanese culture.

Baked Macaroni

ABBEY: 
Basta kapamilya ng kahit anong pasta gusto ko. :) Except for seafood pasta of course. When Wilma told me that she'll cook baked mac on my birthday, I was ecstatic. My birthday will have a new twist kasi hindi na spaghetti ang handa. What I cooked is my version of buffalo wings. This baked mac will only cost you less than 10SGD. And can serve up to 7 pax. Sarap talaga, Maybe a lasagna on Christmas :)


Procedure:
    Cook the pasta with for about 3 minutes (if you want al dente), drain.
    Saute the gralic and onions. Add the ground pork and cook until it is brown. 
    Pour in the tomato paste paste, let it simmer for 3 mins. Then, add the cheese and butter. Let it simmer up to 10 mins. Then add the strips of bell pepper.
    Pour the pasta in the baking dish and on top of it the sauce. Bake it in yhe microwave oven for 20 minutes or up to the cheese melts.
    Serve it hot.

Rubik's Cube


Abbey:
We had this kind of puzzle since we were kids. We tried to solve it then but no luck, even by memorizing our moves. We only managed to solve one side. When I entered college, my classmate thought me how to solve it. Voila, I finished it with no sweat. Memorize only few algorithms and you're good to go. Now I have 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, Pyraminx, the "Transformer" Rubik's cube (Rubik's Cube Icon), Rubik's revolution, Rubik's twist. Latest one is my 3x3 Wooden Rubik's cube. Fastest time is 2 minutes flat. I hope I can do better than that.



WILL: We have this cube when I was about 8 years old. Pero I don't have the idea to solve it, so I rather have my time to my barbies. hehe.
      Now I know how to solve the 3x3, taught by Abbey. It's fun to play this cube lalo n yung revolution. Kaya pala nakalagay na it can be played by people from 5 to 105 of age, kasi you will just push the button that will lit. hehehe. 
     Addiction of Abbey ;)
