It was the Chinese New Year week of 2012 and I took the whole week off. Fetched kids to school each morning and Clara tagged along.
Mommy was also on leave, but she was fast asleep at home, so it was quality time with Clara and I brought her to Punggol Beach just after dropping the kids off at school. I knew the place was getting a makeover and there was even a launch of the new place, so its long overdue for a visit.
Short legs
It was 7:45am, the breeze was still cooling as the sun was slowly rising. The park reminded me of the days in Perth. There is just something with the grass and sand that made the experience different.
Good Morning
Clara was quiet. She hardly uttered a sound. We were communicating with facial expressions.
When she wanted to go in certain direction, she would ask me for my finger. She would then grab it and pull me in the direction she wanted to go.
Boat!
There is a nice stadium like sitting area and I can imagine the conversations that could happen on these steps at night. It would be such a nice place to hang out.
Clara sat quietly there while I was taking pictures.
Suddenly a boat sounded its horn and Clara immediately pointed in its direction. We went to see it.
Bug
During our stroll, she spotted a bug and squatted down to take a closer look. Whenever she squatted down the bug went further away from her, so she got up, took a few steps forward and squatted down again. This went on for a few times, then she gave up. lol.
Track
The path around the whole area was beautiful. It had a wooden deck like feel to it. But when you observe it closely, its actually cement. How cool. According to my architect friend dezzo, the whole promenade is done by Look Architects. It is a 5-kilometre long public waterfront promenade and it goes around the whole of Punggol. I <3 Punggol.
Waiting for the boat
A lady was sitting there by herself and having her breakfast. How peaceful. Later I realised she was actually waiting for her boat.
Sweeping
An old uncle was sweeping up the trash the beach washed up. Slowly bit by bit, he was combing the beach to make her beautiful again. Thank you uncle.
Punggol Jetty
That was the boat that Clara pointed out. A huge one that had what seems like 3 large spherical enclosures.
Thepans @ Punggol Promenade
The next day being saturday, I brought the rest of the family there again in the morning. They loved the place. Clié and Cleo loved the swing the most.
Shower facilities
We then discovered that there were shower facilities there too. Its really well designed I think.
Punggol beach at night
That night, we had friends over for dinner and after dinner I brought them to there to see the place. It looks beautiful at night too.

If you’ve not been to Punggol Jetty / Punggol Beach for sometime, you should go and check it out soon. You will like me, fall in love with the place.
Can someone please tell me why Outlook 2011 for Mac can’t sync with iCloud? I’m not sure how many man hours globally have went into trying to make it work, only to find out its not possible. If someone have the solution please share.
It seems like many people end up loosing their Outlook calendars and have them moved into iCloud which syncs with iCal, but not back to Outlook. So Outlook goes BLANK! If that happened to you too, there is a way to recover your calendar.
Luckily there is a way to restore it. I found this on a forum.
Disable Sync Services in Outlook and quit.
In iCal, open the calendars list and right click the iCloud calendar that has all your Outlook data. Export it.
In iCal Preferences, disable your iCloud account.
Disable iCloud Calendar Sharing in System Preferences.
In iCal, do File > Import > Import and select the file you exported in Step 2. iCal will ask which calendar to import it to, so make sure you select a local calendar.
Open Outlook and re-enable sync services. Your calendar data will reappear.
