Being no stranger to the botanics, it surprises me how each time I visit I never get bored. The Orchid gardens were worth every bit of the entrance fee as we conducted a tour within, the coolhouse being our favourite bit of the trail. As the four of us stepped into the glasshouse, air conditioning greeted us in true Singapore fashion and we were suddenly taken into the tropical rainforests with its lush greens and scenic falls.
The Orchid Gardens were never a focal point of my visit to the Botanics until yesterday. I was captivated by the discovery of countless species of orchids and it was probably the first time I'd seen male company so fascinated by the flora and fauna. The serenity of the Botanics never fails to bring a sense of tranquility, an inner joy and the wondrous orchid garden makes me feel truly honoured to be a citizen of Singapore.The gorgeous waterfalls and beautiful company were more than enough to make my day.Kudos to the Botanics gang and eM the star!
After Botanics, we met up with the rest and joined the throngs queuing for seafood at the infamous Long Beach@ East Coast. Except for me and Chin May, everyone savoured the delights of the sea, from butter crab and black pepper crab to bamboo clams and cereal prawns. Sadly, due to my form, I could only devour the lemon chicken, which was admittedly tasty. Dessert was my favourite traditional black glutinous rice and longan w almond beancurd. Mmmm... Lugging our satisfied bellies, we took a short stroll and made photo stops before heading home for...
EUROCUP FINAL! To which I was sure Spain would emerge the victor. And my predictions of 1-0 weren't far off the result either. 13 shots for Spain and 4 for Germany, the Spainiards dominated with Torres finally proving himself as my favourite at the 33rd minute. Then I was left to drift off for a quick snooze before the alarm sounded, with a huge smile on my face. A joy filled night indeed!
