No David Schwimmer - but it is indeed Friends!!!

We had not met up with the girls for an age.
Literally something like 8 months - just crazy.
So Anakis get together planned this arvo and this arvo at Satay by the Bay.
In their usual style they all turned up about 1-2 hours late blaming getting lost in the gardens - hmmm.
But we all got there in the end and it was just wonderful to see them all.
I think you will see that from the pictures that follow.

Thanks girls - so lovely to see you all!!!

But first let's choose our food.
Oliver clearly hates the Muppets as is looking straight for a deep fried Kermit.


Always one of the worst things to admit - "Sorry I've got crabs!"
But here at Satay by the Bay it's a statement!
Check these puppies out - all the way from Sri Lanka, and soon to be off to the pot for chilli crabbing!
Sorry friends you are just too yummy!


Never ever seen this - it was a first and sure won't be the last.
Sort of a popiah in a cup cake.
Absolutely delicious, just bloody brilliant to be honest.
And its name is - Kueh Pie Tee
Yep never heard of it. But now will not forget it!!!


Clearly my Mum has been working with the local employment agency and child labour is sneaking in.
Look at this poor little 5 year old, dragged away from her parents to slave away serving beers to clients.
I am so shocked.
Look at that poor little face - she is clearly not enjoying herself, forced to work long hours - shocking!!!!


Gong Gong - say no more!
Yep sort of snail things that look like someone has sneezed when you get them out from the shell.
But the ladies loved them!!! 
Hmmmmm!!!


To those ladies.
Here they are.
Anakis.
Our mates - love you all!!!



Whoops slipped in to artsy mode! Sorry bout that!


Whoopsy and again.
But cool right.
Check the reflection thing going on.
Nice!!!


Where we were - Satay by the Bay - we love it here!!!



The girls.


And close up girls.


And my girl.



My kind of girls.
Drink up ladies - plenty more where that came from - ha ha!!!



This took a while actually - have a look at the line up.
Yep Ollie is the tallest of all the girls - at 11 years old.
So a descending and ascending order photo of Ollie and his fans.


Slow walk home.
After a few cold beverages and with camera.
Hey come on time to try something new, you know me.
Love these.

Off to Gardens by the Bay again

Maybe these beautiful snaps may cheer up a dreary day if it is Autumnal where you are.

Here is same same as always - bloody hot, so off we troop to the Gardens as inside the greenhouses is just oh so lovely and cool.

On the way though we stopped at Peach Garden for lunch - delicious.
And on the way back we stopped at Satay by the Bay - again delicious.

A random snap of my with a flower behind my ear (thanks Amy) mucking about with Amy pretending to peruse some beautiful flowers.

A lovely shot of Mary with the kids.

The kids at the bottom of the huge man-made waterfall.

A couple of Amy atop a wooden lion - she demanded.

That pretty much sums up our Sunday - but 1st time to the Gardens with new camera. Thought I would share them. I think they look amazing and hopefully will shine some rays of light in to your Sunday.

Enjoy...
