Firstly, I went to Taichi/Taji New Year Gathering. Tachi/Taji is a form of chinese martial arts if some of you didn't know. And yes, I am attending Taichi class for about 6 months already. As I have childhood phobia (ran and fell on my arm which caused my arm to be fractured and in turn my arm was put on cast for 6 months), I didn't dare to do any vigorous sport. Therefore, to me, Taichi is the best form of exercise for me. Lol. I do not need to worry about leg or arm sprains or fracture while exercising. Lol! Although the class consists of more aged people than young people, I totally don't mind it at all. It was fun doing Taiji with all the aged people!
Anyway, I thought the gathering was held at an open-air venue but I was wrong. T_T I only wore t-shirt, bermudas and slippers. OMG!! So embarrassing!! The venue is at the multi-purpose hall at Toa Payoh Community Centre. It is air-conditioned. Luckily, I didn't feel too cold while I was there. I'm quite sensitive to cold air. >_< That day was fun. There were lion dance, awarding-giving, magic performances and song singing. Even the God of Fortune was there to give out gifts! Here's some of the pictures taken!

The next day, I went to Beer Market @ Clarke Quay with my nanny's son and their cousins. As I don't drink alcohol, I drank the Fruit Punch selling at S$10. That was really expensive but it was as expected as no one will drink non-alcoholic drinks at a alcoholic store. Lol. The fruit punch was really tasty. Luckily the store has free-flow of plain water. If not, I think I will have trouble of buying the expensive non-alcoholic drinks or have trouble having sore throat due to dryness. We had pizzas, Calamari and chicken wings. Beer Market is an interesting store as its name says, the beer sold at this store are sold at fluctuating prices. The beer prices goes up and down like share prices. Here's some pictures!

Seriously, I have never seen such a long list of bill before. Lol. Maybe because I don't usually go drink. Lol. By the way, my this group of friends already planned for the next outing which is cycling. Can't wait to join them again! ^_^
The next day, I went to StarVista @ Buona Vista to celebrate a friend's birthday. Lol. We went to Hot Tomato restaurant. The food was nice and at a reasonable price of less than S$15 per meal. The manager there was really comical and like an entertainer. That day just nice there are Russian tourists visiting the store. The manager welcomed and introduced them to everyone in the shop. The manager even sang a Russian song for them. OMG! He has such a good and strong voice. So talented!! Everyone in the shop clapped along with the manager. Interesting!! After our main course, we went to Marble Slab Creamery for ice-cream dessert. The store had 50% discount for Lava cake that day. Lucky!!! We ordered the Lava cake and our individual ice-cream scoops. It was delicious!!
Can't believe that I am so lucky for these few days with all the good food at reasonable prices.
So happy and contented!! ^_^
