Time for myself

Yes, holiday are the perfect time for you to spend more time with your innermost self, after all the hectic work and pressurizing deadlines.
 
So i just got back from Singapore, heres a brief outline -
 
Day 1 - Left 1Utama at 1000hr and arrived at singapore's harbour front at about 4pm. Reached 1 Florence close at 5pm or so, had to walk into a pizza shop to ask for directions which turns out our destination is just 1 junction down. Checked in the hostel, pretty cozy looking one. Cramp if thats what you want to know, however if your standards are not THAT high it would serve you just alright. I happened to be sleeping on the top level of the bunk bed while jiayean was at the bottom level. So i got a lot of complaints im making a lot of noises while sleeping and turning. Seanelle was both on another bed. Went to Orchard Road and had the walk all the way from Boarders to Plaza Singapura. "Tried" to dine in at the Fish n Co opposite of Plaza Sg, but was too full. What a let down. Ended up in Cafe Cartel, with totally insufficient tartar sauce. We went to the Singapore Flyer, 30minutes ride for a full circle. My my...the view sure was beautiful at night. Made out way to the Double-Helix Bridge afterwards. It is definitely an architecture marvel ( to a small extent really haha ). The two girls in our group had a long wait for shower before we head to bed. Awful wait really while i watch Sean played Chronicles of Blood. Seriously boy, cant you leave the game for a day? lol. To quote what i said about the girl, i mentioned "she was touching herself in the shower room", hence the long wait.
 
 
 
Day 2 - Mee Kia for breakfast. then Universal Studio. Ended up with no Universal Studio because i guess we're the dumbest 4 person on Earth to have no bought the ticket online ( a matter which went through a lot of -casual- debate ). You can definitely imagine us with our sigh of relieve when we were enquiring about the availability of the tickets and buying them. Phew. That was the whole plan, Universal Studio, all else would fail if we dont get to enter the theme park for the sg trip. Went Bugis Street, and had lunch at MOS BURGER and had a long meal while waiting for my friend, Alex to reply my call. He did eventually, at 2pm, and he just woke up. Arranged to meet up at Suntec City, didnt expect Joseph to turn out as well, oh wells theyre both Tampines-lang, how difficult can it be. Had fish n Co finally. I know deep down im not satisfied, i still wanted THAT particular Fish n Co. I should also mentioned the rest of the ppl were bloated because...we're having that meal, which was intended for dinner at 5pm-ish. Whoops. Went Night Safari afterwards, was a pretty tedious train ride and then bus ride to the location. I made a lot of noises in the park, and to be honest, i ended up startling myself when i made some joker's laughter and a tons of Hyena howled back. We took a taxi back, because we're all just too tired. The two girls decided to shower first before caught in another long wait, while i actially made my way out to a 7-eleven and bought some mineral waters and mashed potato. Gosh i missed those S$1 mashed potatoes.
 
 
 
Day 3 - Universal Studio. Finally. Had breakfast at one of the bread shop, had french toast with cheese, toast breads and half boiled eggs with coffee. Still cant resist the urge to brush my teeth after breakfast. My....universal studio was fun. Started with the madagascar's merry go round. Then headed for the Shrek's interactive show. Followed by a "motion master" which involves chair movment, water sprinkling on your face, and stuffs sweeping your legs, and of course a 3D spectacles. Went to Jurassic Park's area, sat on the typical kids flying rides. Queued for the godamn Rapid Ride afterwards, took us one hour but we're expecting it and still went ahead with it because it fits right into our activities' timeline. Its a 3x3 round floating tube we're sitting on. I actually bet whos going to be the wettest, and oh wells, just when the ride starts, my pants got wet already. It was really exciting, especially how we went into a dark sewage with T-rex scaring us all of a sudden, and eventually came to an end where we got lifted up which we all screamed like mad, and put to a halt. Hell, i was wondering why are there water dropping from upwards. Guess what? T-rex's mouth is just right atop of you. More screams haha, and then the ride ended with a tsunami of water came right over my head, which got me COMPLETELY soaked. The Mummy Revenge ride was the next. This has got to be the best ride, its a 4x4 ride, and it involves SERIOUS HOT fire burning, and a lot of thrilling ride in the dark. Theres even a part where theres backward motion. Afterwhich we went for the WaterWorld Stunt Show, it was really a good show. To top it off, we sat in the 2nd foremost row, which is categorized as SOAK ZONE as labelled on the bench lol. Went for 1 last ride which is just sitting with your leg dangling in the air, and last was Hollywood's behind-the-scene show. I was tired, and i actually slipped quite a few of my tantrum out =X Went back hostel, showered and had dinner at Newton Circle.
 
 
 
Day 4 - Lunch, shop, and bus back. There was an accident. Yeah. Too lazy to describe it.
 
Yeah holiday sure is here. Time to relax, catch up with friends. Yeah...should probably do so.
