Kranji/ sungei buloh day trip

woke up 7.30am today to prepare for the one day trip where 5 generations of peihwa primary sch gather (my dad's generation, a neighbour who is his senior, mine, my bro's, and a current student)

so went to sungei buloh listen to china people explaining about its history, which my father thinks that its sad for singaporeans like us who dun even noe abt our own country haha. walked ard till 12pm see see look look, saw the commonwealth art tiles which bring back some memories, saw alot of otters and monitor lizards with some within 30cm radius. didnt see much mudskippers compared to previous few trips.

went for lunch at a bistro nearby where the food is nice and well priced, and it was sort of an eyeopener meal for me. did i mention that one of the uncles who tagged along is a millionaire? ( he drove the latest ferrari f430 spider that was displayed during this year f1 aka $1000,000, went to cape town for a month for world cup and stays in orchard road) So i had a very nice experience of seeing him order his meal together with the typical kiasu singaporeans like us. One goes " can i have this side order, this appetizers , this medium rare ribeye, this dessert and the house wine", while the rest goes " Wah, $22 for one main course!!! WAHHHH $17 for salads?! think i will have the $15 fish n chips and can i have a glass of iced water"
guess this is the difference when you have a few more zeros than others in ur pay cheque.
so after we had our meal, ferrari uncle decided to pick up the tab for us so im guessing my neighbours was feeling angry over nt ordering more, since they felt the most cheapskate to me as they keep asking the waiter why other tables gt free jack o lantern but we did nt have (although the rest paid for them) in the end the waiter just gave them the smallest pumpkin to keep them happy?

went to fish farm and goat farm and took a look around, nothing new since my last visit so it was kinda boring.

finally reach home at 4pm, and feeling freaking tired. work again tml and im getting sick of it =/
