Outing to the Marina Barrage

 

It was a beautiful Saturday morning.

We left Tampines at around 9am for the Marina Barrage. Today is an outing with…

… our wheelchair bound friends.

For many of them, this was their first visit to the Marina Barrage.

 

We took many photos for and with them.

Auntie Mary is a very cheerful old lady who always have a ‘Words Search’ book with her. Either that or a ‘Sudoku’ book.

Another auntie said, “I am very happy. Today I get to come to the Marina Barrage and I get to see so many people. Otherwise, today will be another Saturday for me, doing the same old things at home.”

It was my N visit to Marina Barrage but this time round, I had a different feeling. I thank my friends for giving me the chance to visit Marina Barrage with them and made my Saturday morning a meaningful one.

不做,不会怎样. 做了,会不一样!

If you don’t do it, there won’t be much impact and life goes on.

If you do it, there will be a lot of impact and life might get more exciting!

We only live once, “Life is short, Live Hard”!

As much as I fear the cold, I want to challenge myself and go for the Everest Base Camp trip. Everything is confirmed now and I should be somewhere up on Mount Everest in end December.

I am still convincing myself that everything will be alright… the coldness will not be that cold… brrr….

Anyway, Team Tiger Balm ACTIVE will only announce the winner to represent them for the New York City Marathon 2011 next week. I hope I still stand a chance to represent them as I really want to run this marathon.

The ‘LIKE’s for each video are not the final scores and there will be other judging criteria, hence, I hope I can score more points in the other areas. Crossing my fingers now…

The assignments season has come and everybody is busy with assignments and more assignments. Once we get passed this season, Spring will be here and it will be time to P A R T A Y !!!!

Please vote for me!

If you are not aware, I am in the running for the one spot to represent Team Tiger Balm ACTIVE to go to New York City for the NYC 2011 Marathon in November.

One of the criteria is to gather as many ‘LIKES’ on the Team Tiger Balm ACTIVE’s Facebook page. There are seven finalists in total and all of us have reasons to go.

Please have a look at my video and ‘LIKE’ my video. It is currently the tenth post on Team Tiger Balm ACTIVE’s Facebook page. Please give me your ‘LIKE’! Thank you!

Believe in the RUN!

This is a really cool video! Maybe if I have done something like this for the contest, I will be selected for the NYC Marathon 2011.

Well, I also believe in my run. You should too!

Another video to convince Team Tiger Balm Active to select me!!! ^^v

Here comes the food part!

Hygiene in the kitchen is very important – clean food, healthy and happy customers!

The 100% beef patties are grilled with no additives and fillers!

Now let’s put them together…

When the day is cold (seldom) or when one is feeling down, the golden fries from McDonald’s will surely save the day! And how can you not get the McNuggets too?

Thank you very much McDonald’s for giving me this opportunity to look beyond the counter and witnessed what was going on in the kitchen. I have always been a loyal customer and the visit shown me more about what goes into my favourite food.

Now I am assured that McDonald’s get their ingredients from reputable sources and hygiene is very important to them.

I am lovin’ it!

Welcome to McDonald’s!

May I have your order please?

So I went for a session of the Open Doors 2011 before it officially starts on 18 Sept 2011 and had the opportunities to go beyond the counter and into the kitchen!

We have the nice people from McDonald’s to share with us some info and to show us around later.

There’s Ting, our Open Doors Ambassador! This is where the containers for the food and some condiments are stored at. It is really important to keep them tidy so that you know where to get what in the shortest period of time! This is FAST FOOD after all, remember?

With so much food in the house, we will need a HUGE refrigerator!!!

There is even a staff corner for staff to have their meals and rest during their break time. That is so considerate!!!

 

Alrighty, the next post I will touch on the more important stuff, which is the FOOD!!!!!!!!!

McDonald’s Open Doors is back!

This is going to be the third year that McDonald’s is going to open its doors to all. It is a free guided kitchen tour at selected McDonald’s restaurants where participants will learn about McDonald’s food from “farm to fork”.

Where are the raw ingredients from?

How is the food prepared?

How do the McDonald’s fries stay crispy on the outside and fluffy inside?

What are the safety and quality checks?

These are some of the questions that will be answered  during the tour. If you want to join the tour, you really have to act fast.

The slots were snapped up last year. You read right, I said "snapped up”! Happening on the 3rd Sunday of the month from 18 Sept 2011 to 19 Feb 2012, you should go to www.mcdonalds.com.sg/opendoors to register NOW!
