Time for my virgin post (copy dajie) hehe. Since a picture paints a thousand words i'll just post some pictures i took over the weekend as we drove to pensacola florida.
But first things first my humble abode! its very small but has all the basic facilities that we need eg. TV, fridge, bathtub, lazy chair, air con and internet connection (phew)
View from outside my room......err nice big tree.
the air conditioner is super 1950s kind old school man! And the lazy chair rocks!
After a long 2 hour drive from fort rucker, we are finally in florida! Gotta love all the beach front houses. The sand is white and fine, plenty of nice fishing spots. Seaside living must be shiok!
Had to sneak a quick shot at Perdido key. Its a lovely beach to chill however we were granted with nasty weather that day so we ran out to the beach in the rain, snapped a picture then ran back to shelter hah....like that also can.
Finally made our way to the naval air station pensacola. Its the air base commonly known to be where the famous blue angels train their aerial prowess. Some of our friends were training here to be Weapon specialists (back seater in the F16) so it was a good chance to catch up and for them to bring us around.
We went for lunch at a restaurant called Lambert's cafe. Its a very fun place to eat where the waiters play pranks on customers....ranging from serving fake dead rats to splashing mock ketchup on people hah my friend almost had a heart attack. Here one has to only order a main dish and the side orders are free flow. Waiters will walk around with big bowls of yummy side dishes and pile it up on your plate. Bread rolls are not served but rather thrown to customers from across the room, so u got food flying over ur heads while dining!
I ordered the lambert burger with cheese and mash potatoes. I could only eat 3/4 of the burger before i gave up, the portions here are insane no wonder 80% of America is obese.
After lunch we headed off to shop at the outlet malls, the coach brand is crazily cheap here. Don't know why its so expensive in singapore wor so try not to buy coach in singapore okie? If really need to have one we can help to buy and send it back home ya.
Had some time before dinner (friend's wife cooked) so we popped by the hangars in the naval air station to pose with the planes. Lo and behold the blue angels! My legs went weak when i saw them parked outside the hangar and had to snap some pictures!
Is that sexy or what? (of cos fang jie is sexier)
Mandatory pose with the F18 *grins*
Voila! dinner is served. We had bak kut teh, bacon with spinach, assam seafood soup, omelette with sausages, homemade char siu plus maguro (tuna) sashimi. Satis! Although i haven't gotten sick of the american food yet but one never gets tired of the taste of singapore ya?
After dinner some of them got dead drunk and guess wat, we had to drive home again urghhh really hate driving for so many hours. Got back to my room at only 4am omg. That marked the end of our saturday and the end of my post.
Hope i don't become a pig by the time i get home bleah bleah.
LOVELY!
