A fun crabby day

Met Emay jiejie to go cycle at East Coast. (After a failure to organise a surprise pig-out at my house...)

Anyway, thank God for keeping the dark clouds and its rain away, and for the wonderful weather!
We ended up walking, picking up mini "seashells on the seashore", climbing breakwaters, spotting and watching crabbies playing amongst the moss and hiding from the strong waves splashing onto the rocks.

The difference between Emay jiejie and myself....
She picks pretty, flawless, tiny seashells while I pick BIG seashells and go "yum yum" and heck the Quality Control part.
She spots tiny crabs and go "cute" while I spot larger crabs and go "yum yum", thinking how best to cook them.
Hahaha! So which type are u??

Anyway, Emay jiejie spotted a tiny hermit crab, which I picked up and grew rather attached to. We named it "Hermie".

I really liked him. Why?

He had this natural sensor in him, such that if u waved ya hand near him, he would creep back into his shell and pretend that nobody was home. But he was always very adventurous, peeping his head out time and again to see where he was. He spent some time in my pocket, cos there was nowhere else to put him! I was thinking of presenting him to ZY as a birthday present, but I din know what he eats, and din think that presenting a dead hermit crab to ZY would be ideal. Heh. (Maybe a snail would be a better choice! Hmm... idea! *grin*) Crustaceans eat fish, but ANYTHING would be BIGGER than dear tiny Hermie! So in the end, after much deliberation, I decided that nature does not belong to me, and I had no right to take Hermie home when I wasn't capable of taking care of him. So we prayed for him and put him back on the beach.

Do you know that there's a cable wakeboarding area just beside the hawker centre?? Anyone interested?!

Oh, and as we were having dinner, guess who came and took the seats beside us?! Lim Kay Tong (!) and this other young Caucasian guy whom we assumed was a friend's son. We waited so that we could eavesdrop on the conversation, but he took so long ordering that Emay jiejie and I gave up waiting. Hee. Maybe he knew? Haha!

Yep, all in all, a fun day of play which ended with the admiration of the fireworks at River Hong Bao.

Thank God for all the friends that he has put in my life.... for the ones whom I feel so comfortable with that I can be myself anytime and spout nonsense and they would still accept me for who I am, for the ones who oblige my whims and fancies and still play with me, etc. Thank you God for all the fellowship I have had this weekend.
