Labour Day, May Day, Beltane, Full Moon

A number of holidays are being celebrated today on May 1st.
* Labour Day, which we are all familiar with, is a result of the efforts of the labour union movement. A day of REST for all of us. =)
* May Day is also the first day of summer. Too bad, we can't appreciate it as much as it is almost summer the whole year round in Singapore.
* For those familiar with Wicca, Beltane is also celebrated on May Day. Plus, a full moon today, the moon's energy is at its most intense, any magical effort can benefit greatly from the potency of this phrase. Not a very frequent occasion, that's for sure.

We met up with our friend, Hoon again for lunch at nydc, Wheelock Place. We had vegetarian food today because it is 15th of the lunar month. But the the main course for us were, yup, you guessed it, the DESSERTS! Hahaha. We shared among us:
Jedi Mudster - double chocolate chip ice cream, macadamia nut ice cream with oreo cookie crust, and cookie chunks.
Irish Cream Mudpie - French vanilla ice cream, double chocolate chip ice cream with bailey, and oreo cookie crust.
Cookie Monster Mudpie - double chocolate chip ice cream, mocha almond fudge ice cream, and oreo cookie crust.
Pineapple Carrot Cake with cream cheese frosting.

We were all SMILES at the end of the meal!




PS. We browsed at Borders for a while. Lots of people, guessed it could be because of the May Day holidays and also the "30% off a book" promotion which ends today.
