Hatching Day Report

My family brought me down to Raffles Marina for my Hatching Day Celebration. It is a nice place but i really was not in a celebratory mood so it kinda sucked. It was not like in the pics because when we got there it was already dark and windy. But it is probably picture perfect at sunset and sunrise.

The food was alright but the portions I got were rather meagre. I got two small pieces of lamb when I ordered the Australian Lamb Chops. We did the obligatory cake cutting/cake eating thingy. Amazing part was that the six of us actually finished the entire cake. First time in my 30...I mean ...25 years....

Of course being that the 31st is also Halloween there was a Halloween party nearby. Was kinda a hoot watching clowns on unicycles and little kids dressed to kill (literally!).

We also took a drive down to Wood Grove, which is near Woodlands. Being that it is near the Singapore American School and home to many of the expatriate community (read:foreign talents) many homes were all decked out for Halloween. Not a sight seen very often in Singapore. Skeletons,jack-o-lanterns,cobwebs and all assortment of scary stuff fronted every other home. We got there close to 10:30 pm so I guess most of the trick or treaters were already in bed. My mum says it is even more gay during Christmas and New Years. So I will probably drive round there again around X-mas...
