ComCrop @ NorthWest

ABBEY:  This is Harvest Moon in reality. I only do gardening in small pots and only planting the ornamental ones. But this is new experience. Starbucks is having a program for the community to plant crops. We did prepared for compost, built a land plot, plant seedlings and transferring the grown seedlings to the plot. It was tiring but fun. We were provided lunch, water, complementary shirt and dessert. This is good program and I hope we can join again someday.





















WILL: I saw in Abbey's eyes when I asked him that I want to join the Starbucks' Project is quite hesitant. Why? He do not know what will be ahead for us. Haha. He agreed and now it give back time to Mother Earth. 
      I am very nervous why? There is no one calling us for to confirm our registration, so what we do?, we went back to the VivoCity branch and followed-up! ;) Not more than three hours one called up man rang my phone then were in. Ha!
    Exactly 830AM we're at the Bukit Panjang branch waiting for our group. :) Then around 9am we start the oplan tanim. :) First, they told us the composting, then we build a blocks for the plants, we was asked to get a Starbucks cup and plant out own seeds, then the last thing we were asked to plant the seedlings to the blocks we built. 
    After this affair, Starbucks provided a lunch, bottomless cold coffee, a fro-yo with dill and the most exciting part is their speech. I am so touched that in a small effort we exerted a group of aunties were relieved to many duties. 
    Thanks Starbucks and The Living! Project for giving a chance for us to serve the community, aunties, and mother nature in a small way. 
    This is a great date! Haha! Unusual and exciting!

Romancing U Movie Night 2012

ABBEY: This is different from our other movie nights as it is in outdoors. It was held in Fort Canning Park by Marriage Central. Serenades from a band and games were conducted before the movie. We got the pass from a group coupon site for a price of 10sgd. It includes free airbrush tattoo, a snap with you better half at a carousel, candy floss, popcorn, floor-mat and goodie bag. Hotdogs, ice cream and drinks were sold at the site. The movie is "What happens in Vegas". Its kind of old movie now but still made us to burst into laughter. Thanks Marriage Central.








WILL:  We are running out of time and almost all the hotels we know were fully booked, its a weekend/holiday. All efforts was used and even asked our friend to booked us at Ritz-Carlton but still effort was futile. 
       We gave up and then decided just to have a dinner somewhere, but my quirky eye saw an event sent organized by NTUC... The Romancing U Night.
       Rain or shine event and yes it rains. Hehe. At the ticket we bought for $25/couple, there is no stated exact location were the event will be. So we roamed around the area looking until we found them after 30mins of walking in the rain. 
      Suddenly upon entering the bars, the rain stopped. We take our bag goodies, took some pictures, take our free popcorn and cotton candy, Abbey got a tattoo too, then we positioned the provided mat. The show begun as well as the games. We bought a hotdog and soda at Botak stall and enjoyed the movie. 
      Nice idea NTUC. I hope next year we can join the games! Love it a lot! A very nice experience to celebrate our first 
wedding anniversary.

London Roll Chocolate Flavour

ABBEY: This is an alternative to Pinoy's Inipit. As its name says it's a roll. A roll filled with sweet vanilla filling. Small in size compared to my appetite but fills in to complete my coffee breaks. A box costs less than 5sgd.



WILL: Okay, i love breads and biscuits but this roll have no appeal for me. For only $3.25 per box Abbey had these as his snack for almost two weeks. 
       When it was down to two pieces, I opened one and munch in. Hayyy, the taste is so nice partnered with my hot drink. I love it a lot. Buy some.
