This is quite a overdued post but I'll just post it up anyway. :)
Baby & I went on our first 'overseas' trip together, Singapore!
Not exactly overseas lah but it's out of the country at least. :)
Went there from 29 August until 1 Sept.
This is the first year that I'm missing Merdeka Celebrations. But I don't think I missed out on much though since my uncle didn't do his annual Merdeka eve Barbeque.
Our bus was in the morning, and we reached Singapore mid afternoon.
Went to my brothers' place while my brother took us to see Junction 8, a mall very nearby to their house.
Walked around there, didn't seem to have much in the mall since we weren't exactly there to do shopping.
After that, Aunty Lyn & Uncle Lewis took us to this other mall to eat.
The restaurant was called Paradise Inn.
Food was delicious :) Reminded us about Dragon-i actually.
Me & the 2 Nicholas'es. Lol.
Aunty Lyn & I
All of us, excluding Uncle Lewis because he was the cameraman. Haha.
The Mantau with the Pork dish. Don't know what's it called in english. Very nice =)
The fried rice which was quite famous there but I didn't find anything special about it. Malaysian fried rice better anytime haha.
Uncle Lewis
My brother Nick :D
My brother Daryl & his girlfriend :D
The 2 Nicks...Same hairstyle? Hehe.
Uncle Lewis, Me & Baby.
Take note of my noticeably rounder face shape..... TIME FOR GYM. :(
Steamed Fish. This was quite nice =)
After dinner, Dina (with Daryl of cuz) drove us around.
She took us to East Coast to see the beach.
After that we had some tea and some Taiwanese ice dessert thingy which you can find at the 100 yen shops here in Malaysia.
Surprisingly, there're more stars in Singapore beach than here in Malaysia.
Baby & I just sat there for quite some time to enjoy the view. :)
Further away from shore were the ships parked on the waters. All of them their lights on, which made the beach look so pretty because there were so many lights surrounding us. Loved the view.
Didn't know Singapore had places like that with nice views, all along I thought singapore was like some major concrete jungle. It kinda is, in a way.. But the beach caught me off guard. It was really nice. :)
No pictures cuz it was too dark :(
Around the beach was a mini fun-fair & mini-theme park.
Baby, I & Daryl took the pirate ship which seemed like it was no big deal....
But it was pretty damn scary actually. Lol.
We sat at the ends of the pirate ship where you can feel the 'effect' most. TT
After that, Dina took us around more places.
The Singapore Flyer that's like.. 40/50 stories high?
My brother's doing sales for it but we didn't have a chance to sit on it.
The image is blurred though because we were in the car... and it was moving really fast.
Googled some images for a clearer view of the Flyer. :)
Anyone wanna sit on it, contact my brother lol. Help his sales lah.
View of Singapore city from a fast moving car.
The effect looked pretty cool so I decided to keep it. :)
Later on we went to Marina Barrage.
The view there was amazing! So pretty!
Water fountain @ the barrage.
You can look over the city over the 'bridge' there. The view is breath taking!
Sands Casino
View of the city. <3
After that, We went to Clarke Quay to have a drink.
It was a Sunday night, so there weren't much people there.
Love the environment there though.
There was a belly dancer at the place we were having our drink.
Can feel all the male customers' eyes popping out lol.
Next day, we met up with Baby's cousin, Glen.
Went over to Plaza Singapore to walk around. nothing much there though.
After that went to Bugis where Baby's aunty works cuz we were supposed to meet up with her for dinner.
He bought me new flip flops cuz my gold flats weren't comfortable to walk around.
Expensive flip flops though! Everything's more expensive in singapore due to the currency and also because the flip flops were from Puma lah... I didn't want it since we can just get it for like RM10 over in Malaysia.
But I like it very much =)
Thanks dear :D
After Glen's mom finished work, we met up for Italian dinner.
Later on went back to Tampines where they lived.
Went to the mamak nearby to see how Singapore mamaks were like compared to ours.
First, the mamak was CLEAN.
Second, the mamak waiters USED PDAs to take your order.
Third, the mamak's toilet HAS AUTOFLUSH WTH!
Absolutely shocked......
Next day, Glen, baby & I went to Universal Studios Singapore :D
Alot alot of photos here..
my noticeably rounder face yet again...
Obviously this isn't a very good picture. Stupid woman duno how to take our full body photo.
Makes us look as if we were photoshopped into the picture!!
They had a few different 'themes'.
Madagascar, Far Far Away (Shrek), Ancient Egypt (The Mummy), Hollywood, New York, Sci-fi City (Battlestar Galactica) , The Lost World.
I have no idea what photos were from which place... But I'll guess. I think they're all in random order.
These were from Hollywood I think.
Overview:
That crazy looking roller coaster, also the main attraction of USS, was closed.
Unfortunate? Yes... But even if it were open, I don't think me or baby would have sat on it.
Too chi gek already. I might just die of a heart attack and my baby might have puked after that!
Madagascar!
Far far away!
Over here we watched a mini clip of Shrek in 4-D with all the effects like.. 3-D glasses, shaking chairs synchronized with the movie, sprinkling of water, air blowing from your feet... etc.
Also there was that Enchanted Airways thingy... mini coaster which was a little bit potong. A little bit too short I think.
Ancient Egypt!
I was pretty impressed with this one.
Inside the building....
There were 2 rides here.
one was the indoor roller coaster, Revenge of the Mummy. Best ride through out the trip!
Glen wanted to take it again but we didn't in the end because of Baby's motion sickness (poor thing!) and of course, I didn't see a point in it because I would have already seen everything coming so... it wouldn't have been as fun.
Also, there was one other attraction which we missed out omg! It's called Treasure Hunters where you can drive your own car to duno do what lah... I only found out after I wikipedia-ed. -.-
Baby said we noticed it but we said "we'll come back later for it" and eventually didn't lol.
Sci-Fi City!
Crazy ass Roller Coaster TT
Thank God it was closed lol
Nothing interesting here though since the roller coaster was closed.
Glen & I sat at the... thingy that resembled those rotating teacups. Boring.
New York!
They even 'rebuilt' the New York Public Library
There was a lake there, the view across was amazing
No idea where was this. Madagascar also I think
After that we went to The Lost World, which was the wet park.... so I didn't bring the camera around. Don't want it to be spoilt!
We also watched the Waterworld play. Quite good. Lots of explosions
After that we just shopped for souvenirs for our family members and left back to Tampines.
Showered & freshened up then went for dinner at the airport lol.
We had Swensons for dinner & ice cream there for desert. :)
After that went Clarke Quay for a while again but went home pretty early cuz we were very tired from a long and fun day =)
The next day we met up with Uncle Lewis again for brunch before we left back to Malaysia.
After brunch, we went up to their place to chit chat a while, and then left for Suntec where Glen was meeting us.
Walked around Suntec for a while... bought a bit of souvenirs and then we went back Tampines and headed to Harbour Front where our coach was.
I absolutely loved this trip and most importantly, the company ♥
Love you baby! Hope there'll be more fun times to come hehe.
