Soiree on the Hilltop

At the Chairman's invitation, some 320 guests turned up at the NTU Alumni Club @ Slim Barracks Rise (off North Buona Vista Road) to celebrate his second doctorate degree. Food was catered by Gayatri Restaurant, music was provided by a Filipino band, and perspiration - lots and lots of it - was supplied by my beaten-up body. Eww!

Kelly Kelly

I don't usually find WWE Divas alluring (Chyna, anyone?), but the former Duchess of Dudleyville (and DANCING WITH THE STARS finalist), Stacy Keibler, was an exception. And now, current top-tier female performer Kelly Kelly (above) of the ECW brand is another. At barely 22, the curvy lass from Jacksonville, Florida, still has a long way ahead of her in this business. With dedication and fan/company support, she could, in future, become the next Keibler. Who knows?

Kite Flyer

Escape @ Pasir Ris' NTUC Downtown East may be "360 degrees of fun" and Singapore's largest outdoor theme park, but when it showers it's 'groundhog day' and 'back to the saddle'.

For our luck, only Haunted II, Ferris Wheel, Kite Flyer (pictured) and Pirate Ship (out of a total 15 attractions) were sampled. Good thing we were given complimentary tickets for our next/return visit (which can alternatively be used for Wild Wild Wet).
