Ben is our best friend, Jerry is his pal

We had lunch with a small bunch of friends today at Victoria Peak (in Singapore!), at the relatively new Orchard Central. It was a great location - 11th Floor - affording us a birds eye view of the Orchard area - things sure looked different from atop! There was also the requisite Tong Tong Chiang - Lion Dance troupe - that made an auspicious ruckus. I gave the lion an angbao and they came close up to us, but the lil un was so afraid, we didn't get a good pic together with the furry thang. Val's still fascinated by Lions and Dragons though. everytime he hears the drums and cymbals anywhere, he would urge me to bring him to see the uniquely Chinese dance. After a sumptuous Dimsum lunch, we went on the 12th floor for a walk - nice flowers and open garden - and then to Heaven's Loft for ice cream. This picture says it all: he heart ice cream! It was Ben & Jerry's Macadamia Nut and Vanilla... the same flavours he had when we celebrated his first birthday at the zoo in December 2008. :-) Anyhow, this guy is easy. He doesn't need expensive B&J to buy him over. When Uncle J came visiting few weeks ago, the lil chap became best friends with his bearded friend over a cup of $1 ice cream too.. :-)
