Vegetarian Food... Nice but.....

Went to have dinner at this relocated restaurant that served vegetarian dishes. Simple and cosy place. Food was great. However when the bill came, we were a bit shock...... the total is exceeded what we had expected...... Anyway, I will not mention the place in this blog... as others may find the place nice and reasonable...... I will only tell my friends in private.....

Dempsey Hill

This place used to be the Central Manpower Base (CMPB) of MINDEF, where all Singapore male citizens reported here for army enlistment.

This building used to be the SAF Career Centre, promoted to those people who would like to take up army as their career.

This formerly was the enlistment center where every quarterly (called as major intake, mainly during Mar, Jun, Sep & Dec), thousand of young men will come here to report and surrender their civilian IC. After they had reported, the recruits will then be sent to respective training camps to start their 2 to 2 1/2 years of army life.

But now, most of the buildings here had transformed into restaurants and furniture shops.

This building, where I spent my army days, had turned into a restaurant (current owner is serving Thai food). The green field in front the building had changed a tar coated road.

Singapore Botanic Garden (28 Jun 09)

It’s been a looooong time not going to the Singapore Botanic Garden. No specific impression that I had visited there in the few years, the only memory I had it was during my childhood days.

Many changes had been made to the place.

Immediately, after the entrance, we were walking on the Main Gate Road. However, I’m vaguely still remembered there was a pond after you entered the garden…. I still can recalled that I fell into the pond while trying to catch the tadpole during my first visit there with Mom…… But the pond no way to be seen.

Walked along the Main Gate Road, the weather was quite breezing cool….. Many Filipinos are having picnic or gathering on the green…..…

Reached the Swam Lake…… only few swan was observed.

(gazebo next the swan lake)

Ohhhhhh….. why I can’t take any more photos with my camera…… camera indicated memory storage full….. how can it be…… .. Alamak…. SD card not in the camera…. Then I realized I had left the SD card in my notebook after working with it…….

So just walked without taking any photos…… After the Swan Lake, it is the Ginger Garden….. there was a man-made water fall…. Saw a couple taking wedding photos there… Next to the Ginger Garden was the Orchids Garden…. Needed to pay for the entrance…. Since unable to take photos, decided not to go in….. just taken another walking path back to the main gate….

I think I’ll go again to visit the Orchids Garden.
