Today 1SA1 had our first real outing to East Coast Park. I arrived a bit late at the City Hall MRT Station, the meeting place, coming a few minutes past 10am. Present were Jonathan, Simeon and Andy. Davina, Elizabeth and June Teng arrived one by one later, and Yen Nee (psst: Andy's girlfriend!) showed up very late. After making a stopover at the nearest Breadtalk for some of us to get something to eat, we exited the station and walked to a bus stop behind Raffles City Shopping Centre to take a bus to ECP.
According to Davina, Hartono (thanks to dozing off) ended up at Buona Vista and would be meeting us at ECP's McDonald's. When we arrived Tony (Hartono) was nowhere in sight, so all of us sat down and ate ice-cream again. Halfway through it started to pour outside, so heavily that the corridor outside the restaurant was slowly being flooded. Very Titanic. Tony came in the middle of the rain, drenched (strangely, more on the front than the back). After a while someone decided to buy more fried, and in the end we ate a total of 8 packets of fries coupled with a variety of sauces.
By the time the rain reduced to nothing more than drops of water from leaves of trees, we left McDonald's and discussed our next activity. Eventually we picked bowling over pool and went over to the bowling alley across the carpark from McDonald's. All nine of us played two games each (except Andy, who played one game as he had to leave early). Simeon was the top scorer for the first round of games (expert using hook/spin), but maybe it was his teaching Tony how to spin the ball that caused him to sort of lose focus. I topped the second round with 90 points, 8 points ahead of JC (Jonathan) who almost beat me with a spare in the final frame.
When we left the bowling alley at 2 plus, the sun was shining bright and the roads were almost dry. We decided to cycle next, so we headed to the bicycle rental shop near 7-Eleven. Tony had to leave early, so we were left with 7 people. Thanks to a promotion which allowed us to get 1 hour free when we rent 1 hour, I only spent $5 to cycle for two hours. We cycled eastwards all the way to the end of the whole bicycle track, stopping over at Bedok Jetty for a breather. Elizabeth had to be 'escorted' by JC and Simeon as she wasn't too good on the bike. When the two hours were almost up June Teng was the first to return to the rental shop, followed by me and the rest.
We were done for the day at ECP. We headed to the bus stop but couldn't decide where to eat next, so we let fate decide by sending the next bus. Alas, we ended up deciding to go to Parkway Parade again. JC continued his ride on the bus as he was headed to Causeway Point for dinner with his parents, while we got off and walked around the Parkway Parade Shopping Centre, since it was still pretty early to eat. We finally went to Pastamania on Level 3 to have dinner at 5 plus. The Buddy Meals we ordered really filled us up; I had Al Funghi (with Shitake mushroom and cream), cream of corn, banana dessert pizza and 100-Plus. The Nutella chocolate spread which Simeon brought added 'highness' to the atmosphere, but of course we had to do it secretly. We went back once we finished our meals at 7 plus, with Simeon and Elizabeth stopping over in Giant Hypermarket to buy more Nutella and honey respectively.
