Happy Birthday, and lesser celebrations

Posted by Eric Tan on May 2, 2009 in echoes in a bowl

It’s the birthday season. Happy Birthday yuan, chiyu, yiqi, jiaxin & pakchong. And later this month, LeQuor, jiaxian, as well as jingyi will be celebrating their birthdays.

Birthdays

Used to have so many bdae celebrations, had quite a number of them at my place. But now, I do not have a place for myself, so I did not initiate as many (or should I say, none?).

Everyone have their own ways to “celebrate” now.. Some with husband, wive, some with bf, gf. Some have buddy to drink, dance, club. some choose not to bother people.

But anyhow, I’m not too much of a birthday person, bday celebration is never a big thing to me. I just loves the meet up, gathering, makan and sharing. So, friends, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Don’t need a celebration, just find an excuse to meet whenever you are free, and I shall share my secret on “how to look skinny and STILL have a tummy!”. Cheers!

Bintan Lagoon 2008

Posted by Eric Tan on Sep 28, 2008 in traveller's tale?

Before I start, I must say sorry for not updating for quite some time… (yeah, I heard you saying “what’s new?”) But this time round is slightly different. Previously, I did not write anything simply because there’s nothing much to write. But this time, I had fun that definitely worth few post but I simply couldn’t find a time to sit down and write! Also, there’s also info that I should tell my friends out there, ;)

So, let me start with my Bintan Trip. A trip that’s sponsored by SM, as my birthday gift.

We visited Bintan Lagoon for a 2 days 1 night trip. We stay in the resort throughout the trip, and the ferry is very comfortable.

If I’m not wrong, within one hour of travelling time from Singapore, Bintan’s beach should be one of the best. Because the water is clear, beach is wide and long, and the sand is white.

The beach

Spent the day on the beach, and had a wonderful dinner at Nelayan Grill. You pay for the grill (seafood or meat), and you get free salad, side dishes and desserts from the buffet bar. Remember to reserve the seats if you wanna dine at the outdoor candle-light hut.

Overall, the experience is nice. It’s near and not much logistic to take care (you can even use SGD there). Not a place with lots of activities, but definitely a good place to do something different on a weekend.
