Mrupupup got invited to a cooking contest using Tefal Actifry at Courts Ang Mo Kio. It was an interesting experience. Mrupupup did not know that there was a cooking equipment known as Tefal Actifry to help cook up a delicious dish. Mrupupup, as part of the Courts Ang Mo Kio cooking contest, came up with a nice chicken wings with mushrooms and broccoli dish.

Sembawang Park is in the north of Singapore. Mrupupup visited the park and found it very peaceful. Sembawang Park is now undergoing some renovations. Mrupupup found the park very nice because of the Beaulieu House (old style colonial house) located at the park, the jetty and very clean place to hang out or go for a nice walk. The Beaulieu House now serves as a restaurant and is located right in front of the beach. While Mrupupup was at Sembawang Park, people were just relaxing at the beach and breathing the fresh air. You can take bus service 882 from Sembawang MRT station/ bus interchange to go to the park.   Stone Chairs   Future playground under construction      Pine trees     Checking out the Sembawang Shipyard   Sembawang Jetty       Map of the Park   Beaulieu House  

Mrupupup is excited to see Johnny Depp in his new movie - The Lone Ranger. As usual, with Johnny Depp in the movie 'The Lone Ranger", there would be lots of twists and turns, and hopefully would have some 'dark' comedy & great adventures. Johnny Depp, not a “savvy-ing” pirate this time but a Native American spiritual warrior, TONTO, who recounts the untold tales that transformed a man of the law into a legend of justice, JOHN REID aka LONE RANGER, enacted by Armie Hammer. Hold tight to your seats for a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes.  The action-packed film takes the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.
