17 Aug 2024 – Nasi Lemak
Wed: lunched with Daisy&Clem@NewHot&SpicyNasiLemak/59MarineTerrace. One of those stalls that serves good NasiLemak but has little to no publicity – has its own followers, like myself and the queue can be pretty long at certain times but fast, nonetheless. Yummy lemak rice and tasty sambal – nice to be able to introduce this neighbourhood stall to the family.
NasiLemak=rice fragrant ناسي لمق is a dish originating in Malay cuisine that usually consists of fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk&pandan leaf. Traditionally, it is wrapped&served in banana leaves, added with a hot spicy sauce/sambal and various garnishes,fresh cucumber slices,fried anchovies/IkanBilis,roasted peanuts, and hard-boiled or fried eggs.
Thu: audio book It Ends With Us/~10+hrs and movie ~2hrs. Story of a woman from ME/USA who overcomes a traumatic childhood to embark on a new life in Boston and chase a lifelong dream of opening her own business. If the book means something to you, then do check out the movie too.

Fri: 0500hrs from my doorsteps-EC-Pk/AreaC-B, have not taken the time to read in depth about AmberBeaconTower and decided to do so today. Have heard that it was supposedly haunted but of course have not had any sightings, including today in the dark and despite having walked by this tower many times.
EC-Pk/AreaA – FortRd metal bridge passing MarinaE-DesalinationPlant.
0700hrs: lights switched off after passing after quiet stretch and was planning to get off around BayEastDr/RhuCross.
Pleasantly surprised to see Yip YC’s digital print on vinyl around the BayEast hoarding.
Looks like there is some school event under the ECP-highway but was not about to go near that crowd to find out what is happening.
On hindsight, the above 3pix should have been shot in panoramic view.

Cloudy and not too hot, decided to continue – delighted to discover SkylinePromenade is lined with beautiful blooms most of the way by the river despite of the hoarding for Founders’Memorial construction behind.
Has been a while ago since last walk on this dam crossing on the MarinaChannel – good views towards the city and towards the sea.
Was not even aware that there is a SolaPark@MarinaBarrage.
How convenient with GardensByTheBayMRTsta just around the corner and MarineTerraceMRTsta 5stations away. Nice MRT station(4stations done on my list and 8more to check out) with hanging gardens by the escalators. Took about ~4+hrs~15+k(detours+stops), ~15mins on the MRT to get back to my doorsteps and a whole afternoon to document this walk with enhanced pix and correct captions here!

Sat: today would have been a day to walk under the cool cloudy sky but knowing myself too well will stay away from anywhere with ppl who are not family or friends. Blessed with audiobooks,blogging,reading,sewing,watching movies with music as my refuge which are good positive indoor energy for me…
