My Adoption Kit is Here!!! :)

I was so excited when I saw the large green envelope bearing the WWF logo in my mailbox today. My adoption kit is finally here! I had expected it to reach most probably around end of November but it had reached earlier than I've expected. So glad the mail reached S'pore safely from the US. :) Can't wait to explore it's contents....


The kit and it's contents.

November Meetups!

This week has been a tiring but fulfilling one. Had at least 3 meetups just this week alone... lolx... Met up with sis for dinner at Mad Jack Cafe after work on Mon. It was our first time eating there and I find the food quite nice and the price reasonable (plus there's no service charge...:D)

The food at Mad Jack Cafe

On Tue, I met up with a uni friend for lunch at SGH (where I worked) and also had a small birthday celebration for sis back home at night.

On Wed, I met up with sis again for buffet dinner at Cafe Brios @ Grand Copthrone Waterfront Hotel. I like the food and ambience there. The only downside was that the hotel was not exactly situated at the best location. It was not that easily accessible by bus (due to the limited number of buses passing through). The walk from Chinatown to the hotel takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

On Thurs, I met up with another friend for dinner at Tampines after work. We ate at the japanese gourmet town at Tampines One. My friend and I had not seen each other for quite some time and I was glad for the get-together. Although it was a rather tiring week for me, I find the time spent fulfilling as it was really good to be able to meetup with old friends for some catching up. :)

PS: the bad thing about my whole week endeavour was that I had a little too much to eat... argh... getting fatter...:(( time to go on diet...

I adopted a Dolphin!!

Happy Halloween, people!! On this special day, I did something special too. Yea, you read it right... :p. I adopted a dolphin!! You must be wondering how on earth did I adopt a dolphin... haha. The truth is, it's just a symbolic adoption I did on the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) website. I paid US $50 for my symbolic adoption kit which consist of an adoption certificate, a high resolution photo of my new "pet" and my very own dolphin plush in a gift bag! :) This was something I had been yearning to do for ages and I'm so glad to finally accomplish that. It feels really good to be able to adopt one of my favourite animal as well as to contribute to WWF's conservation efforts around the world. The shipping of my adoption package is expected to take about 3 to 8 weeks. I'm definitely looking forward to it in my mailbox.. :D.

I'm so looking forward to my upcoming trip to Hong Kong in October. Not that it's my first time going there, but cos I'm really yearning for a nice trip right now. Well, besides HK, I may be able to go to Macau and Shenzhen as well. Yeah!!! I'm finally getting a break. I'm definitely looking forward to October right now. :)
