25 November 2007

We went to Sentosa today, again, because we didn't really see anything while we were there with the stupid tour group the day before yesterday.

Though I've seen it all before when I was there a few years ago. But still, I'd like to see everything again!! :D

We bought a ticket and went there by the pretty buses I mentioned in one of my previous posts.



Taking photos in the bus. Yeahhh. We were bored.

We went to the Underwater World first. It's quite weird, really. Like, lots of animals "running wild". There were even peacocks on a small piece of grass outside, in the middle of nowhere. No cages, nothing. Just . . . wild.

Actually I took a lot of pictures, but most of them with Celine's camera. She knew mine was spoiled, and she lent me hers. She's very good hor?? =)

But the photos are still with her, though. She was going to burn me a disc with the photos, but we were short of time. Oh well. Never mind.



We can touch some of the smaller fishes and starfishes once we went in. Puffer fishes, tiny sharks, starfishes, etc. I'm holding a starfish, see?? (because it's the only thing I dared to touch) I look weird in this photo, but whatever, the starfish is totally gorgeous, no?




Strange, horrible, tiny, squiggly, worm-like . . . sea-creatures.

Yuck. I hate them. They might look cute, with the Nemo-like (Finding Nemo) orange and white stripes and black eyes. But . . . anything that . . . wriggles and squiggles (whatever squiggles mean), anything that resembles caterpillars, leeches, worms . . . *shudders*



Ugliest fish I've ever seen in my life.

Sorry, Mr. Fish.

My mummy wants me to be an honest girl who doesn't lie, and, to be honest, you really are the ugliest fish I've ever seen.





Different kinds of pretty jellyfishes. No matter how pretty they are, I'm still scared.



I don't know what they're called, but I think the name has something to do with "Angel". They're damn cute, and they're really tiny!! :D



Can see anything???



Dark photo, but the one taken with the flash on just isn't nice, because the fishes, corals and anemones behind cannot be seen clearly.

After the Underwater World, we went to the Dolphin Lagoon to watch the pink dolphins.

Pink dolphins, oh my!!

They sound so pretty and . . . sweet, right?? Imagine a baby pink dolphin, swimming around. Sweet.

Not.

They're not really pink, but a pink and grey-blue mixture. They look weird, I have to say. But they're quite adorable!! I wouldn't mind having a pink dolphin (or any kind of dolphin) as a pet, honestly. Although I love pink more than I love blue, I think I still prefer blue dolphins, because they're . . . all blue.







Weee!! Nice pets they'd make. :D

We went to one of the beaches, I don't know which, after the dolphin show. It's the beach nearest to the Dolphin Lagoon. I think it's the Palawan Beach.





The bridge that led to the mini island.



The view from the other side of the mini island. We can see lots of cargo ships from there. Not exactly SuperStar Virgo-pretty ships, but, a magnificent sight all the same. (That's a lie actually because I don't admire ugly things)

We left Sentosa after that, and we went to the Jurong Bird Park by TAXI. Okay, to be honest, that was the first time I took a cab. I like the driver!! He's damn friendly and funny. Heehee.

And to think I was so worried that the driver will kidnap us. Ha ha. Probably because I stayed in Penang for too long, and watched too many taxi-driver-kidnaps-little-girls movies. :P

We were starving when we reached the bird park, so we had dinner at the only restaurant they have there - Bongo Burgers. I kept the Bongo Burgers' dark red colored tissues, as a . . . erm, souvenir?? But goodness knows where I threw it after I came home. Probably thrown into the dustbin by my mum. Oops.

We went and watched the penguins first. They're so cute!! :)





There was one penguin that looked half-dead. All the other penguins swim really fast, but that particular one was like . . . "ERRGGH. *coughs* I'm dying. Wait!! Wait for me." Poor thing. =(



Fake bird statue they put there to trick us. Damn it.

To think we all got tricked.

Damn!!

Blah. It is not funny.

We were so damn stupid lahh!!

Because it is a real birdie. At first glance, we all thought the damned bird was fake. From the side view, it looks quite real. From the front, it just looks so fake. Like a statue. So we all thought it was fake, until it started walking around, and we were like, oh my God!! It's a real bird.

Stupid, stupid us.

The bird looks very . . . cool and . . . like, very cold and dignified. Sort of thing. High-and-mighty. Expressionless. Like it's just . . . not alive. So we were tricked. Pooo!!

The photo above was taken AFTER it moved, so it doesn't look quite as fake anymore.

We went to watch the owls after that. It was super DARK in there, we can barely see a thing.



It's Hedwig!! Harry Potter's pretty snow-white owl.



Gorgeous birds in brilliant red. :D



The Waterfall Aviary. I think it's man-made. Pretty hor??

Anyway, we saw lots of other things, and whatever.

We went home, and Ee Leng and I had a swim in the swimming pool downstairs.

After that, we met Celine and her family, my sixth aunt and her family, and my brother at the Lemon Grass restaurant. Thai food, I think. Personally I hate Thai food, but I have to say that the food there wasn't too bad.

My first impression of Thai food was terrible. The first time I ate it, I immediately feel dizzy and sick.

It was a big and happy dinner. I like Donavan (or however his name's spelled again) and the way he speaks!! Damn cute!! He has a brother Stephen (or however his name's spelled again) who's six years old I think, and, to be honest, they're both quite . . . chubby. Will post a photo we took with them in my next entry. Donavan calls his own brother big piece of meat. Then Celine told him that he's the bigger piece of meat. It's funny how he loves his mango and glutinous rice. :P

We went home (again), and we had a mini celebration (if you call that a celebration) for Ee Leng and I. My birthday is on the 28th of November, and Ee Leng's is on 11th of November. An advance-and-belated-birthday celebration. The cake was truly gorgeous!! Bought it from Swensen's.





Oreo ice cream cake. Look at the strawberries!! It looks like it has icing sugar on it, but actually it was just ice.

We planned to go swimming at night, although we know full well that swimming isn't allowed after 10 o'clock. Shh. But actually, after a while, we got caught by the guard at Ee Leng's house. Ee Leng lied that she doesn't know that swimming isn't allowed after 10 o'clock. :P

Damn the guard. Spoilsport. Can't he see that a birthday celebration's going on????!

We went to the sauna after that. We saw a very, very pretty cat on the way there. Big, and black, with huge round yellow eyes (I think it's yellow, I couldn't make it out because it was dark) It's fur is SO soft!! Damn. I want that cat.

We were just getting comfortable and snug in the sauna, and it was just starting to get a bit hot, when we suddenly heard a door slam.

The first thing we thought of is :

Somebody's going to lock us in!!! We're gonna spend the whole night in the toilet/sauna??!

Sheesh.

Turned out that nothing happened.

But after that, we were scared that somebody might lock us in, so we went out after that. Poo. To think I actually thought I can steam off a few pounds in the sauna. Blah.

:P

Anyway, so ends the third day in Singapore.





=)

OMG. I think my seventh aunt's baby is due. She might be having her baby right now!! All her kids are here at my house right now. A day of baby sitting.

Okay.

Going through hell and two slices of pizza right now.

My cousin is starting her homework stuff with my sister again.

Damn it.

Isn't there anything else they can talk about??

I'd rather they talk about the shit and urine things than homework.

It's the fucking holidays!!!!
