Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.2: Sentosa

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.2: Sentosa

Headed to Siloso with the bus ride.


These are some of the food and beverage outlets. That cutie over there looked right into my camera hehehe… Wonder what he’s thinking? Is he thinking I’m taking his photo? I didn’t even realized there’s a cutie until I came back to Kuching and viewed all the photos I had taken. 😛


The Underwater World is located here. I was thinking of going in but sigh… Travel companion didn’t want to go in.


So… Just make do with the Underwater Viewing Chamber out there.


You can find turtles and stingrays there too.


Time for lunch. We had ours at Kowloon Food Express.


Ordered Chicken Rice Set(SGD8) and Singapore Style Fried Bee Hoon(SGD6). Chicken rice was not bad, the fried bee hoon got nothing to rave about, it’s just fried bee hoon hahaha…


Not far from the The Underwater World, there’s another attraction called Fort Siloso.

After that, we headed to Siloso Beach but before that we saw a peacock there, only one peacock. There’s many peahens. Was hoping the peacock will show off its tail but it didn’t, too bad…

Next up will be beaches! Me in bikini perhaps?

Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.1: Vivo City & Sentosa

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.1: Vivo City & Sentosa

This is the last day we can go around and decided not to walk too much. It would be Sentosa the whole day.


We went to Vivo City to board the monorail to Sentosa. Before that, we walked around Vivo City. Went to their Sky Park.


Weather was pretty hot coz it’s almost noon.


After that, we bought our tickets at the ticketing machine. The ticket cost SGD3/person for to and fro trip to Sentosa with the monorail.


There! Our tickets. The view you see here is from the monorail. The day was slightly overcast luckily there was not a bit of rain.


More view… Going into Sentosa.


The monorail. You can opt for going to the Beach station or Imbiah Station. We decided to go to Imbiah first and beach would be the last. Greeted with lots of greens.


The Merlion is there, this one allows you to go up to the top with the built-in lift in the Merlion. You have to pay for all the rides and all of the attractions there, it’s not included. Can you spot me? *LOL*

After that, we walked up using the escalator to the other part of Imbiah Lookout and reached Images of Singapore, you have to pay for this also. We didn’t go into any attraction or ride that required us to pay, we just walked around.


Thought of going up this ride(Tiger Sky Tower) but after seeing it, we felt that it’s not worth it, go for Singapore Flyer is more worth it but we didn’t go.


There’s butterfly farm and also luge & skyride.

After that, we went to the bus stop to catch the bus to Siloso Beach. There were 3 colours of routes for you to choose. We didn’t bother, we just hopped on the one with shorter queue. Besides, the places were all easily accessible with any bus there. By the way, the bus rides were free.

Next up will be the beach…

MBO @ tHe Spring

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on MBO @ tHe Spring


Decided to go to MBO @ tHe Spring today. Today is the first day of opening. Last night was the official opening ceremony. I’m pretty sure this cinema will be filled to the brim for months. It’s new so everyone wants a piece of it and also because many are fed up with Star. Star really needs to buck up else they will suffer a lot!


Since today is 090909, many people took leaves just to celebrate this day with their other halves as I saw quite many people taking this opportunity to watch movie with their other halves.


Left: Hehehe… My sis spotted this sign. “No pets allowed” in Malay but they printed as “Pets allowed” ;p Original sign is wrong, “Haiwan tidak dilarang masuk”. Then the “tidak” was censored with masking tape, so it’s correct now hahaha…

I was thinking, this place is going to be packed for months, every single day and it’s going to be packed surely at nights, weekends and public holidays. So I thought it would be better to go on weekdays during office hour, at least it won’t be so packed but wow… There were still quite a lot of people even though it’s not packed for weekdays and office hour. I guess it’s because today is 090909. I heard it was so packed just now. Phew…


Lots of mirrors there, camwhored!


We watched Up at Hall 2. I heard quite a lot of good reviews about Up, that’s why we went for this movie. Not many people watched this movie, hmm… less than 20. Watched the 4.15pm show, not in time to go for 2.15pm show. Ticket was RM7/person.

I thought it will be very cold in there but it was just nice, not too cold and I don’t need to wear my sweater.

The sound was pretty good and the place was clean hahaha… Of course! It’s new! However, I’m not sure how clean will it be in the future. I don’t like to go to cinema because it’s pretty dirty, that explains why I don’t go to watch movie for quite sometimes. Hopefully MBO will ensure that cleanliness is their top priority and don’t end up like you-know-where.

Everything was fine but the toilet needs improvements *LOL* At least have something for the girls to hang their bags in the cubicle. Can provide tissue papers or not? ;p

As for the movie, Up, it was really good! The characters are so cute. It’s so sweet and tears jerking too. If only I’m watching this with my darling.

While watching the movie, something in there motivated me a bit, “Thanks for the adventure. Now go have one of your own.” It did help boost me up a bit. Time to look for my own adventure! Just one problem… Where and how to look for one? Need more inspirations… Hahaha…

Can’t wait for the karaoke to open at tHe Spring! I want to go to the opening!! Can? *LOL* I know… People will say, “who are you to be invited to go?!?!”. So what?!? *blek* Itching to sing K now.

Review It!, Uniquely Kuching

Singapore Trip: Day 3(19/8/09): Part 3.5: Marina Bay

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Singapore Trip: Day 3(19/8/09): Part 3.5: Marina Bay


After dinner, we headed to Marina Bay. Along the way, I took some night scenes. Love the night scenes but it’s quite hard to take proper photo of them without tripod.

What you see here is Clarke Quay(or is it Boat Quay?) at night.


Resorted to use any stable surface to take these photos.

Walked, walked, walked and you can see The Fullerton Hotel, 6-star hotel! Wonder when will I have the chance to stay in one of the rooms? Took some photos in there but was all blurred.

From there, we walked to One Fullerton.


The Merlion Park. Can you see the Singapore Flyer(the photo on the left, just above my head)? Too bad there’s a bit of haze that time so the photos were not so nice. Took photos with the baby Merlion and The mama Merlion.


See the durian? The huge building there? Hehehe… That’s Explanade – Theatres on the Bay.


Last shoot before leaving, the highway.

That’s the end of day 3, finally! ;p We reached Sembawang at almost 11pm. Luckily my friend drove us back. Was so tired, I don’t think I would have the energy to walk to the nearest MRT and then had to switch stations again. It was so late until my aunt thought that we lost our way home hahaha… Thanks for the ride and the dinner.

Singapore Trip: Day 3(19/8/09): Part 3.4: Red House, Robertson Walk

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Singapore Trip: Day 3(19/8/09): Part 3.4: Red House, Robertson Walk

Let’s come back to my trip post, birthday post will be put on hold for the time being as I don’t have any photo for it.

After Clarke Quay, my friend brought us to Robertson Walk.

I love the place the minute I stepped my foot there! I love the ambiance. I can imagine my wedding being held here *LOL* But this will be just dream because it’s not possible for me to have my wedding here, fly all my guests to Singapore? Book this whole place down? It’s crazy! Hahaha… In real life, I won’t be doing all these, very troublesome and wasting money, just sign and go will do. I don’t care about the wedding, all I care is the marriage.


*BLEK* Anyway ;p Enough of the fantasy. Let’s go to place we had our dinner, it’s called Red House. A Chinese restaurant. Just walked along the river and you will spot it.


Left: A section of the place. There’s a huge ceiling fan. I did take the photo but can’t see a thing because it’s turning and couldn’t fit into my lens, it’s so HUGE! Found something similar in the Internet, bigassfans.com, go check it out, it’s something like that.

Right: Chinese tea, free flow, don’t know how much was the charge.


Left: Signature Creamy Custard Prawn(SGD7 for 100gm), NICE prawns! Yum yum… This is one of their signature dish, not disappointing at all, two thumbs up from me. *drool*

Right: Braised Spinach Tofu & Honshimeji Mushroom topped with Crisp Conpoy (small, SGD14), very unique tofu. Don’t know how to explain the taste but it tasted good for me. This is also their signature dish.


Left: New Zealand Tender Venison on Sizzling Hot Plate(medium, SGD27) Quite nice, tasted good and very tender. Also their signature dish.

Right: Red House Mee Goreng(small, SGD12), obviosuly this si also their signature dish. Hmm… Nothing much to rave about it, it’s just Malay style mee goreng. Pretty spicy though for those that cannot tolerate spiciness.


Left: Braised Ee Fu Noodle with Assorted Mushroom and Chives(small, SGD10), the noodle is quite “Q”, tasted not bad too.

Right: Sambal Kang Kong(I assume this is small, SGD10) tasted so-so but very very spicy.

There was a small dish of peanuts and they did provide us with wet towel too. These two are charged too of course and it’ll be automatically added to your bill.

The total was hehehe… Quite expensive, more than SGD100! It’s my friend’s treat. Feel so paiseh la… Next time you come to Kuching, I’ll treat you really really well hahaha… That’s all I can do to pay your deed for treating us expensive meal and drove us around.

I managed to exchange name card with the manager there. This is the only place where I didn’t get weird glares or stares when I took photos of the food.

I quite like this place even though the food price is a bit high but if the figures are in Ringgit, it’s pretty reasonable.

After the dinner we went to Fullerton Hotel, One Fullerton, and Merlion Park. That will be next post.
