Sentosa Sequel and Chunkfest

The weekend has gotten off to a great start. Last night I met Ali and Zach, Whitney and Josh for dinner at this little wine bar/French bistro. Perfect way to wind down after the work week, very chill.

This morning I walked along the marina area before taking my second trip to Sentosa with Ali, Joy and Crystal. This time, no food poisoning - yay!


Here I am, out in the Indian Ocean.


I actually took this photo so you could see the Speedo king in the background. Lots of Euros and Asians alike in their Speedos. Luckily - unlike in the U.S. - most of them had the bodies to be able to pull it off as much as one can. Still, they're Speedos...

After a day at the beach, we went over to this place called Marina Barrage for the Chunkfest, an outside festival sponsored by Ben & Jerry's. We had heard the ice cream was free (untrue) and had to take two cabs to get there (the first guy had no idea!) but in the end it was worth it and pretty fun. We didn't stay that long, but there were lots of families enjoying the live music, games and ice cream. Locals mostly. I had two flavors: Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road and Peanut Butter Cookie Dough - yum!

The funny part was when we were trying to decide whether to go or not, Ali called Zach and all I heard her say was, "Ok, so you're going to the gym? I think I'll go to Chunkfest then." LOL.

By the time we got home it was after 7, so I decided to just to hang out and chill. Tomorrow morning I'm meeting Whitney for brunch, then we're exploring some of the "off the beaten path" places in Singapore. Not sure what that means, but I'll let you know.

P.S. Feel free to leave some comments - I miss hearing from you all!

Nice speedo guy. Apparently it is actually illegal to wear shorts at public pools in some places (France). I don't think I'd ever get used to that many speedos! We're at the beach too!

Where is this? Sentosa has different beaches. Siloso?
