It has been a wonderful, despite the erratic weather throughout the lunch buffet at Holiday Inn Riverview.

Greeted by the comfortably-lit dining hall by the window, we had arrived earlier than the rest...the place was none-intensively populated with diners, each group with a different topic over lunch; but most on a leisure purpose.

Eve and her boyfriend, Warren, came shortly after with the rest of the family, and soon, we had warmed up with introductory conversations, of which I had even been called the "golden hair" by Eve's mum, shortly after the arrival of the most important person...Isabel! It's her birthday on 9th (shh, don't ask about age), and they had decided to call on a gathering this day, being also the fact, it's a public holiday.

Python-eats-egg performance done, alongside with more jokes to warm up the company we all had, which made the entire lunch session more lively while we eat...and yum, that gooey durian paste which is superior in taste is addictive, yet wonderful.

Fot the first time, a Friday feels like a Saturday, considering the crowd that we had on the road, malls, pavements...a torrental rain greeted us after we had parted with Eve, Warren and her parents, while the rest of us took unto to Borders...wow more crowd and more water from the sky...

I had to do a drying up by baking under the handdryer, while Junfa (Isabel's brother) helped me with the umbrellas, before we went into Borders for some book browsing...Men's Health, May edition caught my attention and literally skimmed through the entire magazine...but at the sight of the sky outside, it had stopped raining...sigh...hahaha...

Tampines 1, the newest fad in the heart of Tampines, was the merged between DBS building and Pavilion, forming the One Big Mall...build-time of no less than 1.5 years and so soon it was up...3 jewellery stores in the 1st level, but being an overwhelmed populated place, we decided to move on to Tampines Mall...sea of homo saipens before reaching the "stairway to shopping heaven" - the escalator...

At least it's not so crowded in stores like Isetan, but still a nice place to see clothes, shoes and Oakley (slippers retailed at $95...wallet-insanity~)...

I will have to put up more pics...or have a centralised photo album on Facebook, where we can all deposit photos of what had been taken on that day, to seal that wonderful moment of fellowship into memory, moving on ahead, redefining family and friendship closeness.
