Well, for those who doesnt noe where the Bottle Tree Village is, i dun really blame you. Before i visited this place, i didnt even noe this place existed. We made plans, my gf's family wanted to bring the whole family, which included me (*grin) to Bottle Tree Village for dinner to celebrate my belated birthday. Well, everyone was excited as this place was recommended by my gf's mother's friend's friend's friend's.. .ok stop.. juz one friend. We all had the impression it was a western style "high class" (or mayb slightly above middle class) restaurant by the beach! (Sembawang Beach to be exact)

Travelling there..

only one mode of transport.. either u haf u own private transport, or u walk in... for those planning to walk in.. one word.. gd luck. i think it takes a person 1 hour plus to walk from the nearest bus stop! Its really ULU... well, i thought to myself.. since its beside the beach.. oh ok.. it has to be deep inside. Travelling in unlit roads really reminded me of my time in PULAU TEKONG searching for checkpoints!!! really scary. haha. lucky i was in the comfort of a car! not so bad, no SBO, no fieldpack on me.. phew!

After travelling in for abt 15mins. we finally saw the sign " Welcome to Bottle Tree Village ", den we saw some chinese wordings!! CRAP! CHINESE FOOD!!! haha im not being racist against chinese or anything (im chinese anyway) but we all expect that it was western.. aww well, i think i will eat the usual hor fun.. haha.. thats wad i always eat when i go to chinese eateries. haha

Indeed, it was situated next to the beach.. hai! but the beach was so dark and the scenery was.. breathtaking! Views of Forest, Refineries from JB, Police Coast Guard boats patorlling the sea... zzz how breathtaking.. anyway..

back to food.. some stuff we ate: pls dun drool on my blog for those who are reading this.

1. Shark fins soup - the authentic one! not the pirated $2.50 per bowl kind.
2. Abalone - the real one!
3. Hor fun - as usual haha
4. CHILLI CRAB! wif man tou - shoik! but my gf's mum complained it was too spicy! zzz

ok the rest were normal stuff. Food wise, it wasnt anything spectacular.. but i did enjoy the company of my gf and her family. haha. we had short breaks of fireworks display... from the Malaysia side.. haha (abit duh right? singapore play fireworks = wan to die ar?) it kinda reminded me of Marina NDP haha! but well.. we ended the day by playing wif lanterns (given free by the restuarant) since it was lantern festival the very next day.. and u noe wad...

I BURNT 2 LANTERNS!! MUHAHAHA!

.. my gf's sis was quite sad abt it. I wanted to take more lanterns to burn since it was free.. but time was short.. haha sigh

anyway.. i love playing wif fire.. seriously.. had that evil habit since i was in primary school.. im sure there are some people out there that haf the same habit as me. lol.

oh ya.. btw, the reason why this place is called bottle tree village is bcos the trees in this village really looked like bottles.. lol. no joke!

Happy 20th Birthday to Me!

Trying out Blogger for Word on Microsoft 2003. haha. Anyway, I think my blog grow spider again.. really long since I last update. the spellcheck for word is damn irritating.. so many green and red lines under my words as I type … zzzz.. mayb next time I shld write in proper English haha!

Many things happened over the past 2 weeks. Well, I celebrated my birthday on 12th of September. Zzzzz im no longer a teen! I hit 20 already.. zzz.. I think its time to settle down, start a family.. haha.. well.. I think I beta go uni and concentrate on my studies.. if not my future wife would look down on me.. which I dun wan that to happen! Haha.. I had a simple dinner at my grandma’s place.. nothing too extravagant. But what I enjoyed best abt the celebration was the family warmth that I experienced that night.. quite unforgettable to see my whole family.. which included my grandparents and auntie, to celebrate my birthday.

Well.. one more yr to hit the 21 mark.. which I can watch RA movies and go clubbing like no one’s business.. but sadly, I dun watch RA movies nor go clubbing. Haha.. dun ask mi why.. I juz dun.. Thanks for all those who wished me happy birthday, I felt really appreciated that I wasn’t forgotten.. haha… for those who haven.. well, its still not too late and u can wish mi now.. haha
