After a rainy week, we finally woke up to a sunny Saturday. What a difference a sunny day makes! At last, I could wash my new t-shirts and dry them in the sun.
We didn’t let the beautiful morning go to waste! We went to World Farm and picked up some new plants for the garden. We even swung by Upper Pierce Reservoir and the butterfly trail at Alexandra for butterfly watching.
The sky turned cloudy after lunch. CH wanted to look for sports sandals at Queensway Shopping Centre. By the time we got there , it was already pouring. The mall has a mind boggling variety of sports shoes but he managed to find the right pair quite quickly.
We drove to Colbar for a drink. Sited in the middle of the idyllic Wessex Estate, Colbar is famous for its no frills, quaint laidback charm. Unlike any cookie-cutter food establishment you’ll find anywhere, this rickety shed is a haven for beatniks and beer-chugging expats. We had a pork sandwich and fried potato wedges. Where, in Singapore, can you find a sandwich made using porkchop wedged between 2 slices of buttered white bread? It is nostalgic food at its best!
Later, when we were strolling around the estate, we stumbled on a tiny musang (common palm civet cat) lying weakly on the grass. We were wondering what to do with it when a Caucasian couple came along. Apparently they had seen a similar one several days ago and contacted the zoo which promised to nurse it back to health before releasing it back into the wild again. They were happy to deal with this little one too.
Maybe we’ll visit our little friend at the zoo sometime soon.
