Raccoon sighting in Siglap!

I went to Mel's apartment after my walk today to get some DVDs from her and we saw a raccoon!

The animal climbed up a gate, jumped to a pillar more than its body length away, strutted across the wall over our heads and disappeared up a tree.

"Look at that cat!" I exclaimed when I saw it climbing up the gate.

"That is so not a cat loh!" replied Meliza. "THAT is a ferret!"

I went back home, googled for ferrets and realised that it is not a ferret but a freaking raccoon!

It looked something like this. Cute and cuddly!

The sky was clear and I also got a mini astronomy lesson from Mel.

The Orions Belt looks like this, and we also saw what looked like to be the Southern Cross.

We saw a bright orange star, not blinking or moving, but according to Mel, we are not supposed to be able to differentiate star colours with our naked eye.

Maybe its an UFO woah! Heh Heh!!!

Yummy food and sword bearers

Finally, all the wedding dinners I'm invited to are over for the year!

Yesterday was Leanne and David's wedding at the Mandarin Oriental, today was Miaoxin and Ivan's wedding at Sheraton Towers.

I was totally wowed by both weddings!

Leanne and David's one was excellently planned. The service and ambiance at the Mandarin Oriental were absolutely first-class, the servers were extremely attentive and took great care of us. David had spent great effort trying and choosing the dishes on the menu so the food was totally innovative and delicious! The wine was good too! I've never had so many glasses of white wine in a sitting before! Woke up with a slight hangover the next day! :P

As for Miaoxin and Ivan's wedding, Ivan is with the navy, so they had sword bearers for their walk-in! It was sooo cool and smart! Their toasting went really well thanks to the big number of navy officers in attendance!
