afternoon at labrador park.

gosh, i've got so many things to update and i don't know where to start! but i've been really reaally swarmed with projects, our 1st birthday event and mandy's wedding!

about our (kel and i) first biz deal! we're helping this girl from my course plan her 21st! very exciting cos its the first time we're charging for our services and working with pple outside our social circle. so exciting i wanna peee!

lets track back to last thursday (29/1) where aroon, kel and i met up to celebrate kel's birthday at HOOTERS! more on that in another post.

then the rest of the secschgang met up at my place for steamboat on sat (31/1) to celebrate bern and kel's belated bdayy. it was xbox after that - viva pinata, soul calibur and LIPS! was quite alot of fun. no pictures though, em was the camerawoman so pictures are with herr.

monday (2/2) was a MAD DAY. i had back to back classes from 10-6! talk about monday blues yooo. then i managed to hitch a ride from fiona, to send me to holy family church at katong for mandy's wedding rehearsal.. to practice how to walk for the lectoring (reading e scripture).

small face brought me to labrador park yesterday (4/2) to exploree. the place is crazily humid and mosquito-infested. the park also has that spooky vibe, maybe cos its the only place which still has any remains of the world war ii destruction.

so after lunch at seah im, we bus-ed down to pasir panjang FC and walked in. if i haven't alr mentioned, the walk in was so bloody humid and hot i wanted to diee. it was so bad i kept complaining evry 15 mins. a typical conversation throughout the whole trip would be..

me: huhh. still wanna walk ah? tired already laaa! lets goooo!
him: aye babby! bring you out complain so much ahh. so noisyy.

hahas anyways, pics from the trip!

my tour guide-in-training, small face is learning how to become a part time history tour guide for secsch&prisch kids. and check out his pants! Those pants belong to HIS DAD. hahas i burst out laughing when i met him at the control station.

me: those are not your pants right! its your dad's one! the one he always wear when i come over! WHY YOU WEARING?!
him: hehe. ayeee. comfy whaat.
*and i continued laughing every few mins until he got slightly annoyed.
him: okok, stop laughing alr laaa. not funny.
me: BUT IT IS FUNNY.
him: later if take picture just take my top half k?
me: HAHAS. nooooo, i must make sure i take a picture of you in the classic pants!

ok, so at labrador park, you can either choose to turn right or go straight ahead. we decided to turn right. and after working for 200m, we were greeted with this.


the place was niceee.


look, ma! i can peee like a man! (:


the house behind small face is known as labrador villa; that was how labrador park got its name. this house was actually built in the 1800s by a british guy. the British government then forced(?) the guy to leave his house and took over the place in the 1900s. they converted the whole area around labrador park into a fort.. we went into the house to take a look, the whole house is converted into a spa alr.


ok, our official historical tour begins..

we saw alot of pill boxes (? - british soldiers use to hide in them and shoot from the inside), a sealed storeroom dated 1982, a 6inch gun(?), and 2 spots where british artillery guns used to be. shoot. i really don't remember ahahs

no pictures taken cos i was quite spooked. the whole park looked quite dark with all the trees covering the place.

there's some story about the forth door (the one on the extreme right). but i don't really rmb the exact details. you can actually visit the inside of these doors. they are suppose to be open from 10am - 6pm daily. but dont know why it was closed yest. oh well.


small face and some gun.



there were huge spiders like these all over the entrance of the fort.
me: eh i wanna take picture of the huge spider!
him: darling let's go! the spider so big, sure quite poisonous!
me: hhahas you scared ah?
him: scary whatt. some spiders bite got venom and the venom and kill ok. not like the ghosts you scared of.
i was quite tired after all the walking (bag heavy) and small face still wanna go explore the beach area! AIYO. i wanted to diee!
hahas idiot trying to mimic me.
the famous lighthouse thingy which i always wanted to find!.. cos i used to always see it on my way back from cruise.
can you imagine the skies were this dark for the whole few hours we were there?! and it would occasionally drizzle ABIT and that was it! omg the dry spell. anyway straits times reported that it did rain yesterday but lucky not at labrador park. i wouldnt wanna be stuck in that mozzie-infested area.

the nicer park area near the jetty..
city beach resort - a supposed hotel at labrador park. looks like some 3*hotel/chalet.
the looooong walk just to walk out to the bus stop. my poor feet!
sidetrack: i've been shopping alot by myself today and on tues just to find something to wear for mandy's wedding. i bought 2! for morning and night.. sometimes, shopping alone makes me feel more independent and grown up. but i guess its good to have a friend around so you can get feedback on certain clothes you can't decide if you wanna get or not. ohwell. this is totally random hahas.
