Singapore trip

1/30/07

so so so sorry for not able to attend to this blog due to various factors...
juz tell ya my trip to singapore last weekend

  • To my horror, i forgot how to resize photo in ADOBE!!! anyone pls help me?!!!! i remember it was so easy. juz click and drag but i can't seem to find that now....DIE. actually very easy lah,,,,i juz found out juz press CTRL- T can d...thanks to JAY :)
  • Microsoft Vista has just launched…who’s interested to be the guinea pig? ( I think I’m talking bout myself). The environmentalist are worried that Vista will cause pollution...by how? pple change their chips and Motherboard for the new OS and these stuff contain poisonous stuff like PVC, barium and cadmium.etc (u know , health issues!!!)


Friday 26th Jan

First i met my fren at DhobyGaut and we visited the newly renovated Singapore Museum. It's so worth it u know...especially when u pay student price $7.50. they have the history gallery, the Maria Theresiae Gallery and the Innovative Gallery. No photos cuz I left my batteries charging at home, my friend didn't bring memory card...so too bad.... i think spore museum is definitely worth it to go... you will be given a ipod like thingy with earphones (electronic guide) and you juz need to enter the numbers indicated at the diff corners of the galleries and also the numbers beside the artefacts...there'll be illustrations on the screen of the ipod n also narration....so cool or mayb I m juz SUAKU

Maria Theresia (queen of Austria) Gallery showcases all the luxurious stuff in the palace ( the dining set, clothes, chest, table, jewelleries, bible, Paintings (family portraits).etc. the portraits are the most ex one. She has lotsa daughters and she conquer edmany lands not by war but by marrying her daughters to the various kings… so intelligent.

after eating dinner at thai express and strolling around at Plaza Singapura, i parted with my friend and went over to clark quay to meet my bro.
It’s been a long time since I came to CLARK QUAY. Oh my, it’s so happening now. Last time I came it was juz a meager amount of pubs along the river and construction site at the back. It seems like all the Night Owls have gathered here now

there's this pub called " The Clinic"

They serve their drinks like that...(like a drip)
You can see the sofa...it's like a hospital bed with wheels..and the curtains

the entrance to its restaurant is like a morgue.... with a dissecting table and those operating lights right at the ntrance. The secrete entrance to upstairs dining area is actually formed by 4 freezer compartment.

Upstairs the chairs are wheelchair…HAH!what a joke…

The restaurant section is called Au (Gold) don't know why?

Some pple may say: aiyo…Pantang lah! but…it’s so packed & crowded (who cares) It’s ultimate COOLNESS to us the Y GENERATION.

The thing which I don’t know wat’s called but it’s suspended by 2 elastic band and the pple are projected up and down l in a round cage like thing.

PS: sigh…I bought the DICOTA laptop sleeve for $40 at SIMLIM and later I reallise that POPULAR bookstore have tones of similar ones (memory foam) goin as cheap as $ 15…. That’s the most unhappy event of my trip to Singapore…kena cheated… :X

Saturday

In the day I bought a pair of NEWbalance sports shoe. + a Nike Shoe bag + 3 Socks = $123 at Queensway shopping center ( if you still can remember it). Forgot to take a pic of it…will post later

You see har, the problem is as you buy something…the guy will push you to buy another thing…in the end like no discount like that…aiyo the shop owner ah really can’t resist him…he’s like you buy this lah…new year GONG XI FA CAI blah blah blah. OH MY L

Rush back to Potong Pasir, my bro’s newly rented masionette style flat ( double storey), changed and rushed to Harbour Front ( the MRT station nearest to Sentosa)….Remember last time we went was Harbour Front shoppin center now it’s being “replaced” by the newly opened the so called Biggest Shopping Centre in Spore “ VIVO CITY” ( they said it’s bigger than SUNTEC city) oh my….it’s so messy inside…can’t find the carpark got lost….i think the design layout is bad or mayb it’s juz that I’m not familiar with it….

Hey remember last time when we cycled in Sentosa Island there were plenty of road blocks and construction sites here & there. It’s actually a project for LRT to the island. Now….you can take the LRT to Sentosa from the VIVO CITY( not by bus anymore) so convenient now.

Ya it’s the LUSH party that we are attending, taking place at the SILOSO beach. The beach where we rent our bicycles.

Wow! the atmosphere was superb. The night scence at the opp quay, the cooling sea breeze. The unlimited lounge (whatever u call that) music, the soft sand, the sofa chair,the free flow chivas…the bikini babes hehe…

SUNDAY

Last time I brought you all to the Alexander Garden Hawker center opposite Queensway Shopping centre. This afternoon my bro and I went to the “ more famous” Macpherson hawker centre walking distance fr my bro’s place. Why is it more famous? Hmmm….i think it’ s becuz it has more media exposure leh…it’s like if you didn’t paste newspaper cutting recommending your stall or TV hosts introducing your stall…you lak seh lah ( lose to other pple d) Quite an amount of stall have the Victory Pasting at their stalls.

We ate the frog porridge. Porridge was nice in consistency. The frog meat was served in the Claypot with some sorta sweet and dark sauce. Later we drank the turtle soup ( my 1st time). Yum. Heard that it’s good for skin. The skin (of the turtle) look like the whiter version of sea cucumber.(so as the consistency)

meet up with another fren of my at the Orchard…walk around n bought some stuff. Still think that things in ISETAN, TANGS, TAKASHIMAYA or wateva are not my price range. I can say their clothes may have more variety and abit prettier but come on…. the price is too much for me lah. Wat for I pay for that mayb 30% of difference…sigh…Far East seems to be a more welcoming place to me….visited the Long John Silver again which I had my first and last meal with my Crush last time….sigh…all the memories

at night met bro again at borders starbucks then head home together with fren.. bro brought me to have supper at the “ famous” Macpherson Hawker. We order some WUXIANG….those type with season egg and fried stuff…their “ LIAO” aka ingredients quite special. For eg, they have the homemade sausages with lean meat. The “ dyed” sotong, the prawn WUXIANG. No food picture over here….haven developed the habit of taking food yet (unlike someone J)

MONDAY

Went to DAISO the Japanese based $2 shop at IMM. ( they have branches at Plaza Sing, Vivo City and I think tampines) but IMM is still the biggest branch….bought some household stuff & stationery and head home. It was my famous hangout place last time…. All the time I’ll have some new surprises..i’ll be like I didn’t know they have this ….i didn’t know they can do this….all the smart and innovative Japanese innovation ( be it stationery or juz a broom or pot)
