Cable car, Underwater World & Dolpfine Lagoon!

$26 for cable car ride from cable car center to Sentosa, access to Underwater World & Lagoon before returning in cable car again! Totally worth it! This offer is valid till 26th June! Go for it now!

Finally get to sit on cable car & visit Underwater World again after more than a decade! Felt pretty excited!

Keppel Bay! The place where elites hang out? Haha!

Resorts World Sentosa! Everything will be just fine once those construction are complete!

Sea Turtle! There is actually a viewing gallery from below.

Seahorse! As elegant as Stallions!

Japanese Spider Crabs! Can't imagine if spiders are of their size, hahaha!

The Leafy Sea Dragons! Best camouflage!

Pinocchio fish!

And I spotted this one & only fish in the aquarium! I might be wrong though... Haha!

The Crown Fish and its anemone!

And lastly, the Jelly Fishes! I wonder whats going through their heads...

Skinny Pizza is for the skinnies.

Went to check out Skinny Pizza at Wheel Lock Place on Saturday and it turned out to be a great disappointment. I think they shouldn't even be called pizza. All I see were crispy thin doughs with ingredients on top. Well, they have this Lobster Pasta which looked pretty decent... Not sure about the taste as we didn't try.

Try at your own risk :D ahaha!

Forgot the names of the pizzas, but this one is basically like curry chicken... Can't even taste the yogurt stated in the menu...

Just meat balls.

This one tasted the best out of the 3.

And we saw this on the way home. A dude actually went to shake him up and asked him where he was supposed to get off, haha!

Birthday eve treats!

My baby brought me to eat at The Magic of ChongQing Hotpot at TangLin Shopping Center! A nice place for steamboat! Good ambiance and nice service! Their beef are so nicely sliced that we only had to dip it into the soup for around 8 seconds! And their 8 treasure tea tasted pretty refreshing!

The name of the store!

Spicy and chicken soup!

The babe & her fish paste! Oops, all in the pot already, haha!

My turn!

& Häagen-Dazs! All free for me :D Strawberry & Mango and Passion Fruit!

Then we caught a movie, Something Borrowed! Not bad for a love story, haha! Headed back to Yishun and bought beancurb to Yishun Dam as dinner before heading home! Haha, what a day!

Yummy!

Certified glutton! Hahaha!

Thanks my beloved girlfriend for the treats! Damn, the calories intake for the day must be sky rocket! Time to exercise! That is if I can get my lazy ass to move :D hahaha!

I am not dead!

Hello! Long time no blog! Hahaha! Check out my ORD countdown timer on the right! Its down to less than 2 months! Gosh... Time flies! & I'm going to be 22 years old in no time! Hahaha!

Should I get Iphone 4 or should I wait for Iphone 5, which is said to be released in September. My contract have already ended since April... What a dilemma...

And I want to go overseas in July! But I'm kind of tight on budget... Can't go anywhere further than Malaysia, sucks!

Oh, I've been accepted by RMIT, hope it won't be too tough! Starting school in 1st August I think... Which means I need a part-time job soon!

Okay, thats all for now, hope that I'll get a camera phone soon and revive my blog like how it used to before I enlisted :D ciao!

Gantz rocks!

Turi Beach Batam 16 - 17 April 2011

Went to Turi Beach Resort at Batam with Lynette on the 16th of April! The reason we went there is because my baby needed a quick get away quickly & I wanted to try out purchasing a coupon which is pretty popular these days, so I bought a coupon from http://www.coupark.com

So my dad sent us to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in the morning, around 8am, collected out ferry tickets and pay $20 each for some tax shit.

While waiting for the gate to open!

Reached Nongsapura Ferry Terminal at Batam.

Learned from my cousin that the reason this place is called Nongsapura is because the place is a project between Indonesia & Singapore's government to develop the Nongsa of Batam. That's probably the reason why most resorts there uses SGD.

Got a shock when I arrived at the resort as it was so beautiful and well maintained.

A portion near the reception.

Beautiful view of the pool! This is actually the old pool.

New pool! The one we swam in.

A peep into our humble room.

Decent toilet. Wasn't expecting a bathtub cause I don't really need one and from my experiences, beach resort usually don't have one, unless its those 5 star resorts.

Well, we actually had some problem with our room. First, the key for the safe was lost, so we can't use it and the sliding door for the balcony was broken and we had to wait around 30 minutes for someone to get it fixed.

Always go for Nasi Goreng when on vacation in Batam! Yummy!

They have this real long 'jetty' that extends roughly 200m out into the sea and at 1 point of the 'jetty' has this Island Bar or something, pretty chilling.

Can't believe we slept on the hammock for around 3o to 45 minutes!

And we went for a swim! Its fun to take picture underwater!

Peace!

Went to Batam Center to get some cheap ass daily necessaries before heading back to Singapore. Great trip overall, looking forward to my next get away!

Haw Par Villa!

Went to Haw Par Villa last Saturday and I totally understand why nobody barely goes there anymore... The place is extremely exposed to heat from the blazing sun, totally out of place and inaccessible, figurines or exhibits are all broken and worn. Didn't even see a single worker or maybe I couldn't identify them.

Anyway, this place is named after 2 brothers, Mr. Aw Boon Haw and Mr. Aw Boon Par, with Haw meaning Tiger and Par, Leopard.

The entrance! Didn't really bring back memories... Guess I totally forgot about the place.

Nice right? Taken by lovely Lynette, in fact most of the pictures are, mine are too horrendous to be shown :D

This is the 'Tiger-car', previously owned by the founder and owner of Haw Par Villa, and of course the legendary Tiger Balm

& these 2 are believed to escort people to hell after their death!

Oops, think thats called a 'down-pants', ahahaha!

福禄寿! Chinese deities whom represents Good Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity!

Beauty and the pig? Ahahaha!

Is my head small or its ear huge?

Scary cat expression! Hahaha!

Hover hand?

Tried using this to win some 4D that day, but didn't really work, hahaha!

Er... No comment.

& the 2 survivors! Do check out the place if you people really got nothing to do, ancient Chinese heritage can be pretty interesting!

What do I do?

If you're very tired, but sleeping would make the one you love upset, will you still go ahead? Now I understand how simplicity can sometimes be very complicated.

What have we become?

Do kids these days still play catching, hide & seek and all those childhood games we used to play when we were young? I don't think so. Guess they are all too overly engrossed in stuffs like PSP, Maple-Story, DOTA, Facebook, etc. Gosh, what have technology done to us...

Text messages, online communication programs, social net-working sites like SMS, MSN, skype and Facebook, can't deny that they've brought much convenience to our lives. They have the ability to bring people together & allow us to stay virtually connected, but can they really keep people together? Well... I personally feel that no pictures or videos can be more clear than seeing through our very eyes, no text message can be more comforting than voices and nothing can be compared to hugs and kisses or even the slightest touch. Nothing can be more real.

Check this video out! What Are Words, by Chris Medina, American Idol contestant. So touching that I teared a little, haha!



I caught World Invasion, Battle Los Angeles yesterday! Definitely one of the best movies I've watched. Filled with actions, endless explosives & firepower, last but not least, hell lot of patriotism! Hahahaha! US Marine Corp! I want to sign up too! :D

Blessings to Japan... & us

Finally a long weekend for me! Applied off today and Monday! Muahaha! & today marks 4 months and 4 days to ORD! Hoo-ray! But to be honest, I fear the coming of that day... It will means the day I become financially independent, no more leeching of allowance from the government... Seem like I'll have to get a part-time job soon... Envy all the all the rich man's kids don't we? Ahahaha! Well, I'll try not to :D

And my heart goes out to all the victims either directly or not of the recent Japan earthquake and tsunami. Guess we are all affected 1 way or the other. Seems like men can never stand the wrath of nature... I really have my doubt on how Japan can recover its financial market in the next 50 years, considering the damage it took. Maybe it'll take all the million & billionaires in the world to donate a quarter of their fortune and all the construction workers from Singapore to help rebuild their destroyed properties.

Not forgetting the nuclear plants and leakage of radiation problem. This is what I'm really concern of. Makes me wonder if I should continue saving money and pursuing higher education since we are all gonna be affected in the near future and eventually develop cancer and die. Might as well spend as we earn and live our lives to the fullest. Muahahaha!
Ok, just kidding. With all the brilliant minds in the world of our time, I'm sure a solution will be brought up if things really get out of hand...

I want to watch World Invasion: Battle LA now! Now! Now!

Random thoughts

We should never be too quick to judge, else we won't have time to love.

There is always a part of us that admire certain things and wish to be like them. And there is a part of these people who will work hard towards it, while another just continue admiring, doing nothing about it. But I guess its subjective. I can like and admire many things, but there might just be 1 that I'm really interested in. So... Yeah, each to its own!

Hmmm... 4 more months to ORD. Wonder what awaits... Shall update more when they strike me.

<3 Lynette :>
