Singapore----------Day 4

The fourth day.

Accompanied by aunty Sharron, my uncle's wife and a Singapore citizen, we went to many places. Firstly, me and my mother took the MRT to Toa Payoh, the place we agreed to meet each other. Aunty Sharron was quite punctual, although a few minutes late. But hey.....thinks are unpredictable. Anything could have happened in the last minute. So we did not make a fuss about that.

Toa Payoh is a place for tourist from Malaysia. Goods there are relatively cheap. Two bottles of shampoo for $6. Convert it to Malaysia ringgit and it is around RM13-17. If you think this is expensive, you are seriously and mentally wrong. We had our lunch there. Foods were delicious. Then, my mother and aunty Sharron went and looked the girl stuffs. I was bored, but I did not express it.

We didn't stay Toa Payoh for long. Then, from Toa Payoh, we took the MRT straight to Changi Airport.

I just wanted to have a glimpse of Changi Airport. And yep, a few pictures had been snapped.

This is the place where you are ready to embark the plane.

Decorations are quite beautiful.

Weirdly, Changi Airport wasn't crowded. We could see only a few people. My mother and aunty Sharron were both boring. They, somehow, like to use the skytrain in the airport to move from one station to another. Skytrain is somewhat like the MRT, just smaller and connecting shorter distance. Next, go check up what this is:

The Merlion!

From Changi Airport we took the MRT to City Hall and walked to the Merlion. There was a distance, it consumed some time. Nevertheless, we ambled along the road and reached the Merlion.

An going-to-be casino. Currently in construction.

Aunty Sharron then bought us tea time. She brought us to Coffee Bean, and bought three cups of coffees and two slices of cakes. And guess what, it cost $20++. Wow! She then chatted with my mother. The conversation will be posted later. Next, we went to Chinatown!

It was around 6.30pm. My cousins, Sha Jie, decided to accompany us. It was great. I could learn to socialise by chatting more with her. Cousins Bryan decided to follow to. We took MRT from City Hall interchange to Dhoby Ghaut interchange, then took the MRT from Dhoby Ghaut and alight at Chinatown.

I'm pretty sure it will be more beautiful during Chinese New Year.

We have our dinner there, in a restaurant, and the food there was indescribeable. Very...very delicious. In Chinatown, you will feel yourself in China. Everybody there speaks with a strong China's accent. After dinner, we went to Clarke Quay.

Picture's quality is not good. sorry.

Clarke Quay is one of the tourist's attraction. Many restaurants are built there. The Singapore River in Clarke Quay has been featured in many Singapore drama. I should have snapped more pictures. After that, we were all soaked in sweat and took the MRT. While upon MRT, I had a chat with cousin Bryan, and the conversation will be posted later. After that, I bid goodbye to all my cousins and aunty and went back to my uncle's house, bathed, and had a wonderful sleep.

Back....Back

After four nights of holiday, I'm back!

Okay, I'm cutting the crap, I will go straight to the topic.

December 19, 2009
My sister is on holiday. We get our stuff ready and go to Kampar to fetch my sister. Without delays, we go to Puchong, Selangor to meet my uncle. I'm looking forward to play with my cousins. They are all young, with the eldest 8 years old and youngest 3 years old. They are adorable. I have a great time there.

December 20, 2009
We go to Sunway Pyramid. Due to Christmas, Sunway is packed with people. We have our lunch there in Old Town White Coffee. The price is affordable, and the food is quite tasty. I buy a few books.

December 21, 2009
We wake up bright and early, and go to Kampar to help my sister to register her time table. Apparently UTAR wasn't punctual in time and delayed the time of registration. Within a few minutes, the time table has been fully booked and my sister has to apply the time table personally, in the office. Then, we go to Cameron Highland. The road is winding, and I feel like puking. Nonetheless, I didn't. We stayed in an apartment. The apartment lacks facilities. But who to be blamed? It's RM200 per night.

Then, we have our lunch in a restaurant. The food is still affordable and worth the price. Then we wandered our way to Tanah Rata park. The part looks derelict. Despite our will to enjoy the natural cool air, the biting wind and the overcast weather forced us to stay back in our apartment. We have our dinner in Brinchang's night market. The night market is packed, and the traffic is congested. I said inwardly: "Like this also want to come ah?" It's true. Nothing interesting in the night market.

December 22, 2009
The bitterly cold weather forced us to stay at home. We have cup noodles as breakfast, and rice for lunch. Then we stay at home, enjoying the cool breeze. Initially we want to eat Steamboot, but my parents and sister are full, and they can't eat anymore. So, we go to MarryBrown and have simple dinner. After dinner, we walk back to our apartment, and I bought an ice-cream. It feels great to eat ice-cream in a cold weather.


I try to keep my post short and simple. Nothing interesting occured in Cameron, so I have nothing much to say. I will post my fourth day in Singapore later.

Lastly,
Hopes all PMR candidates score straight As tomorrow. Good Luck to all of you and me. (^_^)

Holidaying

PMR result out on December 24. S*n of the b*t*h, if I don't get 8As, my mood will be completely spoilt and I wouldn't have the joy to celebrate christmas. I am not confident to get 8As. I don't know what I will get. The foreboding I'm experiencing is the harbinger of me failing PMR.

Tomorrow I will be going to Kampar to fetch my sister, and then my family and I will go straight to Puchong, where my grandparents live. We will stay there for about 2 nights, and then we will go to Cameron Highland for another 2 nights, hopefully. I will come back on Wednesday. Enjoy before I visit hell.

Saying 5 days goodbye to facebook and my blog, although I don't really miss you. Just saying goodbye as a sign of politeness.

Very....very lazy to post about my fourth day in Singapore. Too many pictures have been snapped, and I had gone to too many places. Actually only 4, but it was tiring. The decision to post it hang on my mood.

I should have supplicate before I sat for PMR......

Singapore----------Day 3

I woke up, still dazed, to find out it was already 8.30am. It was Sunday, and my uncle and aunt still didn't need to go working. They were both free, and decided to bring us around, again. But this time, we had one more company. She is my eldest cousin. She is 26 this year, and currently a permanent resident in Singapore, working as a pharmacist. We gave her a warm welcoming and she followed us to wherever we went.

My uncle brought my mother to buy bus tickets. We decided to come back on Tuesday night, so my uncle brought my mother to Boon Lay shopping complex to buy the ticket. After that, my uncle brought us to a shopping complex to buy books. Books there were relatively cheap. I bought two. Yep!

Then he brought us to Dhoby Ghaut because we were going to Sentosa Island. My cousin, Shu Ning, decided to follow upon a whim. We welcomed her. It was late. We reached Sentosa station around 1.00pm.

You can buy ticket or just use EZ-link card to pay.

Taking this picture in the monerail.

Sentosa Island, Beach Station

Every person is forced to line up before boarding the bus, even if they are unwilling to do so.

I wish so badly that I can take a picture with a python, but the price is $5 for one........

$22.50 per entry. Exorbitantly expensive.

Octopus

Sotong

Huge...........

The jellyfish is almost invisible.

Too many people were in the underwater world, hence, the room became stuffy.

Stingray's face

The Underwater world is not big. So small that we finished walking in about 30 minutes. It cost $22.50 per entry. It was so expensive!! I will never visit it again. After that, we watched a performance gracefully performed by seals. We waited for an hour, and the performance was less than 20 minutes. What a waste of time!

Trainer feeding the seals.

Seals waved towards the guests.

Seal playing with its trainer.

A seal standing...so cute.

The tourists from India came with hands full of foods and left with seats full with rubbish. India's disgrace.

Do you know tap water in Singapore can be drunk? It is safe. Many people have drunk it, so did I. In fact, tap water was my source of water for a few days. The fact that tap water can be drunk is confirmed by locals.

We left the Underwater World around 5.00pm. We still had time before Songs of the Sea performed. So, we strolled around the island. I was so eager to have the skyride. But the price was.......expensive. We walked, and walked, and we reached the Sentosa's Merlion.

Each person has to pay $8 to enter the Merlion. We were flabbergasted. Nonetheless, we just had a look at the outside.

This picture was taken after we left Sentosa. It was found outside Sentosa Station.

After visiting the Merlion, we went back to where we began and waited for the Songs of the Seas to be performed. The entry price was still expensive, $10 per entry....haiz....The performance was great, the seats were fully occupied. This show was performed with water, and fulled with cartoon characters. Frankly, the show was quite mesmerising. I enjoyed the scenes more than the songs. I couldn't take video. Sorry.

Let the show begins......

I should have taken the climax. The best part, in my opinion, was the part where fire was pushed out from the underground. I was sitting at the back, but I could feel the heat. So great!

After the show, it was late, and we boarded the MRT from Dhoby Ghaut to Bishan...or Yishun, I can't remember, to visit my another uncle. After we alighted the MRT, we took a cap and reached his house. My first uncle wasn't in, but my aunt was. I called her first aunt, to avoid confusion. My cousin, Bryan, was there too. They chatted for a few minutes, and then we headed back home to kip.
