Singapore 2008 - Day 2

Woke up at approx 7am and cudnt reli fall bk asleep..so i washed up and made my way dwn to the lobby. Wasnt reli in need fr breakfast so i decided to go fr a walk myself dwn Orchard Road. It was barely alive...hardly anyone was actually walking about. Saw alot of teenagers at sum mall area tho, as they were having sum sporting event.

The inhabitat morning Orchard Road
Looks peaceful...

The road i walked up and dwn countless times in the course of 3 days..
Walked blocks afta blocks all by my lonesome self n jst took pics along the way. At one point i even plugged in my music n skipped to the beat. Well nt exactly..haha lebih. Anyways, i got bk to my room and read the papers while waitin silently fr the rest to get up. Got bored fairly quickly and even contemplated a swim but the others rang my 1611 room and we got ready.

Modesto's and Starbucks...the likely hangout places
As planned, the day was to be spent on SENTOSA ISLAND! Wheee..haha we left early and went fr bfast at McDonalds..i had McGrindles which was reli gd..it was actually the usual sausage mcmuffin thingy but placed in between pancakes this time..Afta dat we caught a cab bk at the hotel and off we were to Harbour Front.

Cable cars at Harbour Front

The view fr way up thr..

Clean water...a rare sight here in Mlysia
The Starcruise..damn it was gigatanormous!
Julian n the Godfather

Bought the tickets fr our tour in Sentosa n got on the cable car. lt was fun no doubt..view was awsum! So yea...we got to the island and met up with our tour guide dat took us on the private bus to Underwater World.
Underwater World..the dude was damn annoyin..stood thr freakin long to tk pics..if he was hot den nvm la...dis one the face ugghhh

the crowded inside

garden eels and an angel fish

spot the animal? hint : dragon fish
Mr.Shark

Mr. Stingray
Mr. turtle
Underwater World was facinating. Really, it was. Thr was the cylindrical viewin tunnel of which we didnt have to walk..thr was an easy access conveyer belt of which u cud easily hop on n off in case u needed to get a few pics. Saw alot of cool sea creatures. Of them all, i luved the jellyfish n stingrays best. Jelly world...reminds me of jellybean! hahaha

shooo cute

u gotta jst luv the way they move about
Oh oh i had the chance to feed the stingrays haha..dat was soooooo fun! We paid fr sum raw fish fr feedin and was later showed hw to. So anyways, u place the piece of fish jst between ur fingers n place it against the glass..the stingrays will eva so casually come up to u n gently suck it rite outta ur hand. Dat was incredibly ticklish..and funny as well. They reli are gentle creatures of the ocean jst minding their own buisness, allowin us humans pet them at all times.
stingray petting/feeding zone
u cud even touch the starfishes..hard like rocks wei...
Meet mr. Stingray
While waitin fr the tour guide lady person to get bk n get us, we had Ben n Jerry's ice cream by Siloso beach. Relaxing much. Boarded the bus once mre and made our way to the CineBlast, which is a 3-D movie thingy. Waited thr fr ages and ages in the heat. The wait was definately worthwhile tho...the simulation stuff was reli gd. It pretty much seemed like a roller coaster anyways. With wind blowing in ur face, the turns n nt forgetting drops. G-forces baybehh haha.
Another annoyin dude. Kept gettin in my way. Yet again..if hot nvm la...ish pregnant dude with man boobs summre ugghhh

the 3-D movie...
look at the line...
was tired so i jst lowered dwn to the ground
while the rest stayed up..
Next up was a bus ride on the red line to Tanjung n Pahlawan beach. Had heaps n heaps of fun thr. Chilled, sunbathed, swam n jst watch the world pass by. The retarded me didnt bother buyin any sunblock so nw im all red n sunburnt haha. Skin colour is reli weird at the moment. Ish! Spent alot of time thr.

The dolphin show was next up on the agenda. It was fairly entertaining i guess...jst dat it was reli hot out n we didnt reli get proper seats below the shaded area. Was rather eager to leave afta dat as i was drained of all energy by that time..didnt reli eat proper either. We got the shock of our lives at the bus queue bk to the main area whr the cable cars were. Freakishly long lines! So we decided to take a slow walk by the beach all the way bk. Tiring but chillin at the same time. Finally caught a bus, to our relief 3/4 into the walk.
Dolphin Lagoon...
those black things are dolphins and its trainer..excuse the bad capture haha

mre dolphins..
the walk along the beach all the way bk...

Hopped bk onto the cable car and went far beyond our stop to Mount Faber. Jst sat bk and enjoyed the ride all the way..soon we were bk at Harbour Point. Bk to the hotel it was.

The bro and cuz decided to go swimmin but i settled fr a sit in the tub. I was jst too tired fr any mre activities..i did hweva manage to go online to chat and stuff hehehe. It was nice gettin bk in contact with frens.

Dinner was at 8 in Lau Pa Sat, translated frm hokkien to english-old market. HAHA. Its actually kinda nice thr...reminds me alot of Asia Cafe. The food thr was nt bad..and reasonably priced as well. Afta dinner we took a cab to Cineplex to catch Bedtime Stories. It was vry entertaining and hilariously funny...but i was basically fallin asleep the entire movie haha. Damn tired n i wasnt feelin all too well. Extreme exposure in the sun was to be blamed i guess.
