An Event Cache - Ed Christmas! and Food Galore!

Okay on the 17th Dec, its time to show face to the geocachers in Singapore. We got a christmas party and also a well deserved sending off Ed, coz he will be leaving Singapore at the end of the month to Arizona. Going to miss him. Hope he can get more caches. Will keep on the look out at his log.

Anyway arrive at Nations aka Junia hse. Thanks her for organising the potluck party and for us to mess up on her house. Heehee! Well, she split up us into groups of 4 and there are Red, Yellow and Blue teams. I'm the Reds! My teammates are Genecola, benruth and HToad. Anyway we have fun coz 3 different groups ran off searching clues ard the Siglap. Haha! We like a bunch of luntics running here and there, singing x'mas song, asking people to take photos and searching for clues under table inside restraunt. Haha...but thats wat geocachers do...we are the search engine.Haha! Anyway...the cache its in Junia's mail box...way to go! The reds and yellow will share the FTF...but i think all teams should deserve for the FTF as all work so hard for it...

After that, we go our buffet dinner...so much food to eat...haha! And on the mean time we also share our experiences of searching cache and asking clues...heehee! Gain alot of info from there...will continue my cache search within this few weeks...hope to hit 30 before a new yr starts.

Heres are some of the photos:

Geocaching Payback Time...

Due to sailing and lotsa stuffs been bugging at me so didn't go for geocaching for past 2 weeks and kinda lost to alot of newbies as they got more caches found den me...Urgh
Anyway...on 15 Dec'o5, I went for geocaching alone in the morning and found 5 urban caches by myself. After finding the 5th cache, went for lunch at Marina Square and call my brother-in-law. Asking him whether he wants to join me for an afternoon geocaching...and he agrees.

So we went to East part of singapore for 2 caches. One in Pasir Ris and Changi Village. Afte that, we went to Science Center for another cache at there. Wat a great fun day for me...

1st cache of the day. This cache give me a hard time coz the BIG RED ANTZ are guarding it...i got a few bites for putting it back

A good relax scenery at East Coast where i retrieve my cache.

A Week That I Have Gone Thru


Saturday 26/11/05

Today as usual woke up early...due to yesterday geocaching with Xavier (my gunnery officer). I'm quite abit tired and abit muscle cramp on both legs...haha But afternoon meeting with Darren, fiona and her sisters. Well last night msg her so she say she will be coming too. I was actually quite happy to she her and looking forward.

Anyway, I thot i cannot make it in time so i msg fiona that i will be meeting her at Bedok MRT platform so i no need to travel that far. I waited more than 1/2 hour but its okay coz i know that usually Singaprorean are late one...thats including me...hehe So next time meeting them can late for 10 - 15 min wont die one...haha Well, we alighted at Lavender MRT station becoz fiona n her sisters are going to malacca on 11 Dec and be back on 12 Dec so going there to book coach tixs for it. After getting it...went to bugis for lunch at MOS burger. After that, we continue our window shopping in Parco Bugis as Xueni, Weiling and Jennette going to Harbour Fornt to do something and will meet us in Ikea evening time.

Time goes fast...i still dun dare to talk to her much just abit chit chat only...so we take bus 33 down to Ikea just to drag time...Arriving there we went to Queensway shopping centre for another round of window shopping...haha. After that den we proceed to Ikea to get some shopping coz fiona wants to revamp her room and me...just looking for something to revamp my room and the price oso...heehee...After that we have dinner inside Ikea...thats happening...we waited and searching for seats...finally got our seats but need to split up into 2 place, a table with Linwen, Yihui, Yongfu and Jennette. Our table with Darren, Xueni, weiling, fiona, Eldine, lijing and me. I dunno whether or table been curse or not but fiona kinda of clumsy coz when we buy our food, she got some plain water for use and spill on to Eldine right leg...haha...but wats more when she helping weiling to broke the chicken wing she accidently hit her glass of orange juice and Elgin cannot catch it and went down the glass broke...haha on spill everywhere...kinda messy...but thats not more...time for xueni...she oso spill her cup of plain water...so our table really messy...sorry for the cleaner to clear for us... =P

After the messy dinner, we went back to tampines for some drinks n night bites at Mac. This time have more chance tokking to her liao... We tok quite late and time to go back home...so we separate with fiona and the others and i accompany xueni and her to interchange to go back home...she taking bus 29 and xueni and i took bus 69...i wish i have the chance to send her back. Anyway when travelling back, xueni scold me why i tot fiona abt the things me with lijing. I now sense that night during fiona birthday i was correct...xueni knew about i like lijing...i wanted to question her but too bad she going to alight soon so i now goin to bug xueni for more inorder to find out what she knows about...haha...
