Ayden totally enjoyed the rides. Rise and shine on the 2nd day, we started our day with the 1st cable ride (all of us never take it before) so its kinda exciting!!
Outdoor theme park opened and started all the rides as well... went ah yat for lunch, cheap and tasty!! and last but not least... i finally went casino to play for the whole 4hrs :p Shiokyy!!

its really been a long long time... ever since i change my SE phone to Iphone..
Iphone is a selfish phone where cant dwload pics, videos directly and got to use Itunes for that, so basically all updates in FB.. Peng, not to retort in ur post on the "whereabout" haa but thats wat FB's status is all about? :p anyway.. photos and videos will be on FB till i figure out hw to transfer files :)

its peng's surgery today.. and glad all its over, though feel terrible but it will save her from bringin tons of tissues out each time she goes out :) Rest well and will visit u over the weekends.

The past few weeks was great... meet ups with besties for potluck, SATC 2 (Great Movie)!!
miss 1 bday dinner with the May babies.. Sorry! Nevertheless we still "chit chat" during work! hahaha and wonder.. any chance for a short break to Harries.. just US?
