This is terrible! slept at 4am last night finishing the "things"... set my alarm to wake me up at 10am, in the end hit the snooze button and continued sleeping til 3pm... lol i have myself to blame for sleeping so late... half distracted by making the "things" with watching youtube and surfing the internet... i think im not trying to overcome my jet lag on purpose... but i cant help it... hope the countdown will straighten my body clock... another 2 more days til the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008, and 9 more days before i enlist... sigh

Do not ask "are you"
Just say "i know"
How did you know what i was going to say?
Because i've asked myself the same questions

Ok im finally back! cant say i dont miss singapore, but its still nice to get out once in a while... Took EK 344 i was in the aisle seat and am i lucky to be there... haha everyone, and i mean everyone around me was asleep (the flight was 2 in the morning), so im glad i wasnt stuck in between alot of ppl so i can go toilet walk walk etc without waking them up... another nice thing to be surrounded by sleeping ppl is i practically have a personal air stewardess haha cause they got no one else to serve except me...

Arrived at 5am their time... and it was FREEZING cold, no sun and lotsa wind... met my sis at the airport and we took a cab back...

This was where i was staying -) well jet lag sets in... i was ZONKED... slept for 4 hours after that... and im glad i did or else i wont have energy for the rest of the day... woke up at 12 wide awake... we decided to do things backwards, finish all the hectic stuffs during the first few days and relax afterwards haha... we took a bus to some round about to transfer to another bus (the bus system there sucks!) we waited for the second bus for 1 hour before we gave up to take a taxi to the MOE (a coincidence) its just a mall... the taxi jumps 50c everytime, so dont complain bout the hike here too much (although im still not going to take a taxi ever in singapore)

Having been there i have concluded that Vivocity is so SO SO SO small haha the size of is like WHOA! i can die walking from one end to another... its like 1 or 2 km long... We decided to go skiing, and the funny thing is that i have NO idea how to ski, so if im a beginner, im suppose to start with discovery and beginner courses which wastes time... so i had to fake that i know how to ski and that i had skiied before, so my sister had me memorise some things like where i have skiied before what did i learn there blah blah so i can straight away sign up for level 1 skiing... now the worst part, the first thing the instructor told us to do was to test us if we knew how to turn (which was taught in beginner course) and i dont know what possessed me, i skiied down perfectly! hahaha im a fast learner -) we went up to a higher slope on a ski lift... it was quite cool






haha it was fun although i think my ears and nose were frostbitten... doesnt feel like my own...



Thats me and my sis and im really freezing... by the time we finished and defrosted we were really hungry... haha ended up eating subway... and it tastes like shit without being toasted (which i forgot to ask them do)

Went to gift village the next day to buy some souvenirs for my greedy friends (sorry ah no LV thats in PARIS haha) cant really remember much its been almost one week ago... wanted to go steamboat at some place but its closed (who would figure... lol) took a bus ride to Global Village... it was a 45 minutes ride, and i took the time to finally memorise all the algorithms for my rubik's cube -) can do it in 3-4 minutes now... who wants a challenge!! haha... reached Global Village at night its was very crowded... its quite cool, the place is quite big, its like a giant bazaar selling things from around the world...

The Big Bottle

Looking like a retard

Went to Dreamland Aqua Park for a suicide mission... cant believe i went into water IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER... i must be asking for it haha i spent most of my time in the heated pool... but the rides were cool... i loved (for a GOOD reason) the rides on the tube, mostly because i didnt have to make contact with the water... as usual did everything backwards... tried the most fun rides first like the black hole and the twisting dragons... before lazing (on the tube) at the lazy river and wave pool... and i had a desert experience while driving there and back... space is really different there... the moon was HUMONGOUS... thats not the sun, its a MOON

It really looks like the sun


And so BRIGHT

The desert experience

The desserted desert road


And thats Mars above the glaring Moon

Ok thats bout all the fun i had... the rest of the days were dedicated to slacking and moping around... here are some picks i took which were quite funny


To my Wealth?!?

LOL

A nice Menu

But a nice dish?!

Its so hard to talk overseas... i had to develop another accent just for them to understand what im saying... the worst was water... most singaporeans would say woo-oh-Ter... they would just say HUH?! and then you would have to say wo'er then they would like ohhhhh... sheesh... i didnt know singlish was so terrible until then... oh well... now im looking forward to the 30th and 31st!!!!

Zhiwen: haha dont need to be so high! anyway why you and estelli need my help? haha

Minhui: haha if christmas feeling should combine mine and yours, den green and red will really have the christmas feeling

"tml meet at 10 ok dont late ah" in the end she was the latest to come 45 minutes late lol... haha stoned at macs for breakfast for VERY long (due to 3 hours of sleep last night) we educated jacq on the wonders of the monorail from vivo to sentosa (she has never taken before lol)

Underwater world was freaking crowded! must be the holidays... alot of china and ang moh people there... the place quite cool, alot of nice and disgusting fishes... this is a fish thats dying and being attacked by other fishes... damn poor thing we all feel sad for it look at the end where it floats to the top and dies =(



We had to DRAG darel away from the aquarium when he said he wanted to go another round, which is = to another 2 hours... he was crazy bout taking pictures of the fishes... lol we managed get away from there after 1 hour... ate dinner at pasta at harbourfront center
