montreal exploration: the third day

Woke up the next morning for yummy breakfast by the terrace - portions were humongous, but delicious all the same. Pack the pounds!

After that we took a stroll down the city, passed by a fountain between roads, and headed to the magical swings - another cool installation in the middle of the city. What makes this innovation stand out is the whole row of swings lined up in sets of 3. When one of us sat on the swing, it played a tune. However, when 3 of us synchronised our swings, it played a melody through the movement of the pendulum. Now, how amazing is that? If only we had something like that in Orchard Road, I wonder what the response will be like?

Also passed by a wishing tree where you could write down your wish and hang it on the tree. Je souhaite...

Headed up Mount Tremblant (after many steep slopes and long flights of stairs) and the view was amazing. Here's a nice picture of the four of us! :D

View was breathtaking, weather was perfect.

Chuu~

Xling & I (:

Love the two back-to-back shots below. Of me taking a photo of Xingy & Xiu, and of Xling photobombing at the background.

Spotted a raccoon on the way down! Little scavenger hunting for some treasure - this smart fella managed to open the dustbin and grabbed his gold at the end.

We then headed to one of the parks below the mountain - they were having some sort of drum festival going on and there were truckloads of people. Found a shady spot, spread our mat and just chilled there for a couple of hours with beers. With the distant sound of drums and music in the background, the light-hearted chatter amongst the different groups of friends, it was the ideal place to just relax and daze off. Below are a couple of shots experimented with Xiu's close-up lens.

Here's one of Xling sneezing - oops! 

A day of spotting animals. Look at the squirrel peering innocently from behind the tree trunk - too cute for words.

After that, we went to do some grocery shopping - time for Singaporean night! As a kind gesture to our Canadian hosts, we decided to whip up a Singaporean feast with Prima Taste mix we got from our local supermarkets. Now what did we cook? Singapore curry chicken, Hainanese chicken rice, bean sprouts stew with pork and sauteed mushrooms! And the Canadians enjoyed it (: The Sangria they made was amazing too. Love Sangrias.

Here's a group shot of our empty plates haha!

We had chocolate fondue with fruits for desserts :p

After an exhaustive night, we left the grocery place close to 8pm, cooked for about 2-3 hours, and only finished eating past midnight. A wonderful way to end the night!
