Adventures in the Rain

Hokkien puppet wayang in Jalan Kayu to celebrate Monkey God (Sun Wukong) festival. This is apparently a BIG thing in Taiwan. The show lasted until the Heavens opened up...must've been a touching story...I wouldn't know. Can't speak a word of hokkien...

Coconut picking in Jalan Kayu. Check out the "goal keeper" at the bottom of the driveway, ready to "hope" any wayward rolling coconuts...

Seletar Reservoir, with rain clouds threatening in the distance

Some rich Fokker's private jet...HAR HAR.

Dinner at the Sunset Grill & Pub, Seletar

Buffalo wings (Level 3 spiciness), and some rather excellent sirloin steak and pork chop. The grilled veggies were yummy! The food was surprisingly good for such an out-of-the-way cafe whose highlight was probably dining/drinking against a backdrop of a spectacular sunset. Experience was slightly marred by having to expend some effort on swatting some persistent flies, who insisted on kamikaze attacks on our dinner. But overall, still a highly recommended location for dinner and drinks amidst a relaxed atmosphere.
