Met Karel at Vivocity to get our picnic stuff from Giant and Daiso. Along the way, checked out forever21, Bodyshop, Faceshop, Diva and PageOne before getting our things ready and queuing for our Sentosa Express tickets.
It's the first time I took the Sentosa Express and think cos it's a public holiday and there's lotsa tourists, we had to queue for some time before we managed to buy our tickets ($3 inclusive of entrance fee) and enter Sentosa. Felt that the Express is better than our airport sky train. It's similar to our LRTs. Took 7 minutes to reach the Beach station and went to queue up for the beach tram to get to Tanjong Beach. The sweltering heat didn't help much but make our waiting for the tram more miserable. Upon alighting at Tanjong Beach stop, could see that the furthest beach is a fave amongst dog lovers as they bring their pets to the beach to play and mingle with other owners or their friends. We managed to find a hut and was properly sheltered from the sun so we can enjoy our picnic lunch. Enjoyed the walnut cheese on bread and also the cranberry juice from Minute Maid. Sat there to chat and only left when we sensed that a storm might be coming as dark clouds were starting to gather and could hear the occasional thunder.
Went back to Vivocity to avoid getting caught in the rain. Went to Garden of Posies and got some drinks and food. Like the ambience of the place and the food is quite nice as well. The ice-blended floral tea were interesting and refreshing. However, it's basically iced floral tea instead of ice-blended. =P Found a cute birthday card with a small soft toy sheep and Karel decided to get it for sis' birthday gift which was sweet of him to do so.
Went to queue for a cab to go to Yoyogi at Mohd Sultan for the family dinner to celebrate sis' birthday. It's the first time in my life that I'm in such a long taxi queue. Think there were like almost 50 people in front of me and I waited like 15 min to get my cab though there were plenty of cabs waiting in line. It's quite silly to only allow passengers to board at the front of the queue instead of just having the passengers get into the cabs in queue. Perhaps it's for order and safety reasons. The journey was quite short, abt 15min and I was there earlier. Could look through the menu and see what they have to offer. Dad ordered sashimi, sushi, chawanmushi, cold tofu, agadeshi tofu, yakiniku udon. He also ate a ume 饭团. Felt so contented and full when we were done. = )
Had the birthday cake once we got home cos grandparents tend to sleep early. It was quite amusing as the candles were burning out fast and we had to rush through the photo-taking and I was the only one who sang the birthday song for sis quickly. She was told to blow out the candles and in a hurry she forgot to make her wish before she blew them out. Hahahaha...super cartoon...the cake was from Fourleaves so it was really tasty and not too sweet. (",)
