I will miss this
If there's one thing I love about Ghim Moh, it's the good food and gentle buzz of the heartlands.
Every weekend - or anytime I have the time really - I take great pleasure in strolling to the market for breakfast and just watching the folks go by.
I'm not sure the new place will have this but I'll always treasure our memories made here.
Prevention
In a bid to get writing again, I was going to do some blogging this weekend.
There are still quite a few thoughts from Melbourne I hadn't penned down so this weekend would have been a good time to do some of that.
But I can't.
Someone's been hogging the iMac all weekend playing Starcraft 2.
Grrrr.
Can't wait for my gadgets to arrive real soon!
Any of you iPhone 4 users got any user experiences to share with me?
See you on the slopes
Mt Buller, "Two-O-O-Ten-JULY'
It seems like just yesterday the four of us were at Mt Buller on our one-day ski trip. I had gone to ski school for a couple of hours with Ga, after which we then spent the rest of the day snow ploughing down the icy mountain. But then the evening came and we had to pack it in and drive down the mountain again.
This year, we decided we'd spend more time on the mountain. And to commemorate this snowy reunion, we attempted to 'date' our picture manually. Please refer to picture bove for our version of 2010-7.
So things were really different this year....
The Coleman-Goh Clan
Hubba with good pal Jon & his babies
Part of our trip away Down Under was spent bonding with family and old friends - We spent some time cycling with Hubba's ol' bike pal Jon, who now lives in Melbourne with his family, and spent some time in their home with his wife Justine - who graciously loaned me her bike whilst I was there - and kids too.
Funnily enough, the trip was like a little trial run for us....
Riding Lysterfield Park
conquering a hill everywhere we go
Wherever we travel, Hubba and I need to somehow venture past the meadow and explore the outdoors.
I'm a sucker for sunshine and fresh air, and apart from loving the same, he's a sadist who wants to feel pain in his legs and the wind getting knocked out of his lungs as he climbs a hill. I think this is part of the reason why I fell for him - his love for life and Superman attitude is infectious.
The day we arrived in Melbourne, we strapped on our trainers and hit the pavement. But our itch wasn't properly scratched till the next day when we were off to the Commonwealth Games MTB track at Lysterfield Park with bike mate Jon and his friend Will....
Making Memories
Montalto Vineyard & Olive Grove
This has been such a beautiful trip. We have made so many memories and had such a wonderful time.
I wish it could have lasted forever but home beckons, along with our baby doggles, responsibilites & loved ones.
Thank you, for everything.
Happy Trails
Nothing makes me happier than being outside, taking in the fresh air, enjoying the sun with people I love..... [Read more]
Happy Birthday to my HubbaBubba
my superhero
A couple of weeks ago, Hubba celebrated his 31st birthday. And in his usual manner, he quietly let the day come and go without bothering too much about it. That's Hubba for you.
But I didn't want to let it go without a little bit of fuss at least!
So I called up a small bunch of good mates whom I know mean a lot to him and got them together for a celebratory burger. (Yup, age is catching up and we didn't even have a beer.)
He was really happy - I could just see it in his eyes.
And that made me really happy indeed.
Watching your loved ones happy is just one of life's greatest gifts, don't you think?
Thanks to all our lovely friends who played a big part in lighting up his day!!
happy birthday, hubba!
More pictures after the jump!
Reminiscing…
Attending two very touching weddings this weekend made me really, really happy for my friends. It's not everyday you walk down the aisle with your best friend and promise to spend your lives together.
Funnily enough, it also made me think back to our own wedding - It really was a special day. It also made us think about renewing our vows sometime down the road.... But we're far from that. Gotta be patient and wait another ten years or something.
More on the touching ceremonies later!
