ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of cycling from Tampines to Bedok...
ReplyDeleteUr, it's a walkable distance from Bedok MRT to Bayshore, no?
Oh yeah, definitely walkable, 20mins at a brisk pace.
ReplyDeleteHOWEVER, if you have already cycled all the way to Bedok MRT it would be sort of silly to park your bike there and walk. Just bike all the way to Bayshore.
LOL - I meant, I would either bike all the way from Tampines to Bayshore, or take a train to Bedok and walk from there. ;-)
ReplyDelete20mins? No more than 10 the last time I tried it.
ReplyDeleteSure, maybe the next person (beside me) can time his journey and we can see whether it takes 10 mins or less.
ReplyDeleteI drive along that stretch of road sometimes ... 10 mins? ... with LKM's legs & walking pace.
ReplyDeletehello KM,
ReplyDeleteI may not be able to join u for the moon festival celebration this 14th because it is a tradition my mum pray to the Moon Goddess this day, and at the same time, also cook for the entire family clan... it will be strange if I am the only one absent from the party. I've totally forgotten about the date clash, so thought I better let you know now.
Thousand apologies for last min changes. ;-P
Awwww.... no Moon that evening? :-(
ReplyDeleteI'm still deciding what sort of mooncakes to bring. The array on sale is...impressive, to say the least.
ReplyDeleteWhatever sort you buy, please buy those with tin boxes. Me collecting.
ReplyDeleteI'll see that day how it goes.. maybe I can just come at 4pm and leave at 6pm, I'll just play by ear. Anyhow, don't have to save anything for me, a drink perhaps, since I will be going to my mum's place for dinner. No promise, har? ;-)
ReplyDeleteSure, will do so. Anythin' for Ur. :)
ReplyDeleteHey...would you be collecting any from HK?
ReplyDeleteDon't really know anyone there to collect from. Although that is an idea...
ReplyDeletegood... good... at least can see Moon....
ReplyDeleteWill see what I can do to get my hands on a HK mooncake tin box.
ReplyDeleteHehe, I am not collecting them as Mooncake tin boxes, i am collecting them as tin boxes of a certain size and depth which is perfect for keeping my toy soldiers with magnetised bases. So tin box from Singapore will do just fine...
ReplyDeleteOh, haha. Ok.
ReplyDeleteSo if you see any tin mooncake boxes in your office please grab it!
ReplyDeleteSure.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply on this. Was waiting for confirmation if a family dinner for that night is on or off. Well, I am sad to say that I am not able to join you guys for this one..perhaps next year? Have fun guys and I am looking forwards to the photos. (There will be photos, right?)
ReplyDeleteok deb, no problem.
ReplyDeleteMoon, try to drop by then.
Everyone come at 4pm SHARP. Will make some yong tau foo and stuff.
Anyone else? Ur, the japanese coming? I'm still assuming the swedes are coming yes?
I got 3/4 box of mooncakes (sorry couldn't help myself. Had to sample it first right?) Anyone bringing more?
ReplyDeleteI'll bring two boxes - enough?
ReplyDeletelol! More than enough. I still have paper lanterns and candles from last year. We're pretty much all set then. :)
ReplyDeleteOkie, two boxes from me. (:
ReplyDeleteThe boxes better be tin! :=D
ReplyDeleteHi LJM,
instead of 3 Swedes, make that 1 Swede, 1 Norwegian and 1 Japanese. I was going to get Mooncakes but if we have a surfeit of Mooncakes maybe I get something else?
yay!
ReplyDeleteok, get dessert and maybe some tea leaves
ok, mystery local dessert and some tea leaves coming up...
ReplyDeletecertainly sounds like a plan
ReplyDeletein view of our international guest, I'm making good ol' home-made Swedish Shepherd's Pie, good ol' home-made Norwegian Shepherd's Pie and good ol' home-made Japanese Shepherd's Pie.
ReplyDeletelooks like my pics will be uploaded later in the week. something's screwed with my mobile broadband connection. :(
