Shakespeare by the Park

We went to watch Shakespeare's play "Much Ado About Nothing", the modernized, localized version by The Singapore Repertory Theatre.
Twisting the original, the story is still a love comedy romance but is set in the colonization era of Singapore played by the Nyona and the British settlers.





















Thanks to Calven the organizer with a military precision, each of us brought something to contribute to make a very nice picnic. I made sushi rolls and fried chicken while others brought wine, beer, cheese, cold meats etc etc.

After the play, and when most of the audience were gone, we stayed back and fooled around a bit. Courtney jumped in the pool which was part of the theatre set, while the boys had more wine and beer... resulting in us doing silly innocent things like these...

my colleague's birthday

Nanthia is my senior in the team, who commutes from JB (Malaysia) everyday (1-2hours commute) but she is always on time. She is positive, jovial and is helpful to everyone. She also has a pretty face and a slender body for a mother of two!

Matt's parents 2days in Singapore

Terry & Jenny came back from Koh Samui and had 2 days in Singapore before leaving to UK.
















We had a nice dinner at Flutes@Fort Canning on Friday night.











Saturday, we had Yam Cha@China Town and went to the Asian Civilization Museum.










Afterwards, we went back home and spent the remaining hours chatting and relaxing.
It seemed Terry & Jenny had a good holiday.

Next time we see them, there will be a new addition to the family!

ah....Koh Samui

Matt's parents came to Singapore for 2 days then went to Koh Samui, Thailand first.
We joined them on Thursday night until Sunday.






The villa was booked by Jenny so it was definitely going to be some what lux, and it was. The best part is that there were almost nobody except for us! I don't know if it is credit crunch or just how the resort is made, but it was as if we had the beach and the resort all to ourselves. Now, that is an ultimate luxury!

The food at the resort was good enough that we really didn't need to leave the resort.

Except for the time when we went to Samui Institute of Thai Culinary Arts to learn how to cook Thai Red Curry, Chicken & Cashew nut with Vegitable mix and Thai fish soup.
I loved the part where I learned more about chilli and how to cook the curry paste.

The weather was nice and we all got a nice tan!
