LE PONT MIRABEAU

Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine
           Et nos amours
     Faut-il qu'elle m’en souvienne
La joie venait toujours après la peine

           Vienne la nuit sonne l’heure
           Les jours s’en vont je demeure

Les mains dans les mains restons face à face
           Tandis que sous
     Le pont de nos bras passe
Des éternels regards l’onde si lasse

           Vienne la nuit sonne l’heure
           Les jours s’en vont je demeure

L’amour s’en va comme cette eau courante
           L’amour s’en va
     Comme la vie est lente
Et comme l’Espérance est violente

           Vienne la nuit sonne l’heure
           Les jours s’en vont je demeure

Passent les jours et passent les semaines
           Ni temps passé
     Ni les amours reviennent
Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine

           Vienne la nuit sonne l’heure
           Les jours s’en vont je demeure

8As!!!!

That's right, people! This Frenchman just beat the Malaysian education system by scoring straight As in PMR as expected ~ XD

~ Trip To Singapore ~

Day 1 (Arrival)

1. Started our journey from KL to S'pore at 9am, after we had breakfast at BRJ.
2. Arrived at JB at 1pm, had briyani ayam for lunch...it was not bad...
3. After that, we headed to the customs at Woodlands. There were LONG queues everywhere, from checking our passports to purchasing an autopass card for those ERP ( S'pore answer to toll). Was told that we needed $5 to bring the car back to M'sia. No wonder they're so rich! There'll be like, 100000+ M'sian cars heading to the checkpoint everyday! I wonder why didn't our  I mean, the M'sian government think like them, they would've gotten rich a long time ago ~
4. Anyway, after that we followed the confusing directions given by my uncle and fortunately, managed to arrive safely at his house, somewhere in Serangoon. Singapore has really changed since I was last there, 3 years ago...The buildings are a lot bigger and nicer and the roads cleaner, it was like a better version of KL! You should've seen the church there, instead of small buildings like here, there was a monolithitic building there and I liked its architecture ~ 
5. It was time to meet my cousins, G and G! ^^ After the initial awkwardness, we played some online game called Wolfgame. After playing COD in PS3, that game was BULLSHIT! but of course la, i didn't tell them, i didn't wanna offend them...
6. Then, we went swimming at their condo's swimming pool :D We had an AWESOME time there, playing water polo and racing each other from end to end. Turns out that their swimming was faster than me, although I'm the fastest in my family ( well, S'poreans are better M'sians anyway) and their stamina was astonishing! I barely managed to swim from one end to another and they can swim non-stop for about 15 rounds! Since I pride myself as a cheetah, (one who is fast but only in short distance) that was embarassing! Not only I can't match their endurance but I was the slowest too! =( ~  Note to self : Increase your stamina before chalenging them again ~
7. At night, we went to a nearby shopping mall to have dinner ~ The shopping mall was HUGE and it wasn't one of the biggest in S'pore...I think 1Utama also lost to this enormous building...=.=... Anyway, we had dinner at Swensen's! ^^ (Good memories there from my previous visit to S'pore ~ ) Had Spaghetti Bolognaise there and it was one of the BEST I've ever tasted although it burned my tongue a little bit at first (>.<). For dessert, I shared a bowl of 5 scoops of different ice cream flavors with my cousin. The ice cream was delicious! Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Mint, and Butterscotch all of them are my favourite flavours!
8. After dinner, we went to the nearby MRT station to top-up my uncle and his family's Ez-Link cards. The station was spacious and equipped with state of the art technology. It's quite amazing that such a small country can have such big train stations, unlike M'sia where the train stations are small as well as lame and serve no purpose besides being a train station. In S'pore, the buildings are also a work of art, architecture-wise ~
9. Back at the condo, we changed into our pyjamas and got ready to sleep...or so I thought...My cousins, after 6 months of not seeing me, were curious about my daily life and the people back in M'sia ~ So we talked so a while till it was past midnight and after a while, I managed to tell to take forty wink as to prepare for tomorrow ~

Pics: (Sorry not much for today) :(

A lot of people at the shopping mall

Day 2 (Bicycles, A Dam and Pretty Lights)

1. Woke up after a good sleep last night :D Felt refreshed and ready to go....CYCLING! XD That's right! We're going cycling today! After filing up our water water bottles and some other stuff, we were ready to go! :)
2. Arrived at the East Coast Park and we wasted no time renting the bikes! I was the first to get a bike but turns out, the gear was spolit so I had to change to another one. After that minor glitch, we were off!  My Uncle and Aunt decided to skip and went somewhere to read the papers and enjoy the sea breeze ~ (the park is beside the beach) It was so fun cycling with my cousins, as well as enjoying the scenic view at the park. On my right was the beach,so clean unlike Port Dickson, there were some people bathing there and you could see ships moored on the horizon. It was quite a breathtaking view, I could tell you that. On my left, you could see trees and trees and trees! It gave quite a peaceful mood and helps me relax when I was cycling ~ This is what a cycling park should be, beautiful beaches and serene trees on either side of the cycling track ~ Took a lot of pics here coz it's so beautiful! ^^
3. After cycling for a while, we stopped for a while before heading back coz we rented the bikes for 2 hours and the time was almost up. We stopped at a place where I saw these awesome sandcastles, complete with figurines bulit by some dating group. They must be pros or else I don't think they could've built it...or maybe it was the power of love?...Suddenly thought of her and wished I could build one for her...Haizz =(...Oookay, sidetracked for a while ~ Anyway, after that my cousins challenged me to a race! Whoever reach the bike shop, wins! After yesterday's embarassing defeat, there was no way I could lose this, besides my stamina on a bike is way better than on water. 
4. 3...2...1...GO! And we were off! I peddled furiously and almost knocked into my bro. Sorry, bro! XD Then, suddenly I came to this place where the view was so BREATHTAKING that I MUST take a picture of it! "Resist the temptation", I said to myself. But sadly, I couldn't...-.-...so from leading the race, I stopped my bike and my cousins passed by me so fast that I could feel the wind froming from them (as well as some unpleasant body odour >.<) So, I quickly took pics and then peddled like crazy to catch up with them. As luck would have it, they were tiring whereas I'm still pumped up and in race mode :D I managed to catch up with the older one, and soon he was left in the dust and the battle was between me and my young cousin. After seeing me overtaking his bro, he suddenly increased his speed and cycled dangerously, weaving through the traffic like those car chases in action movies. Haha, I'm not gonna lose to him so I started to follow him, weaving through traffic too and almost collided with some guy. Then, I started to tire but I reminded myself of the humiliating defeat yesterday and with new resolve I started to peddle faster (the relaxing trees helped, of course) Soon, we were neck to neck. Then, I saw it! The finish line! It was as if I could see a banner which says "finish line" hanging in the trees ~ That was a mistake, as I was busy daydreaming bout the victory champagne (made in France of course XDD) he used up all his energy and won by a whisker! Merde!!!!!! I was so near yet so far!!! He started doing that stupid victory dance of his. I ignored him and waited for my other cousin. Then, I saw him in the distance, pushing his bike. We walked towards him and saw that he looked like he was in pain. 
5. It turns out that while he was cycling slowly, (he gave up on the race after seeing us so far ahead) there was this cyclist who cycled like us, weaving through traffic. Surprised that the guy almost collided with him, he turned his bike to his left and it went off the track and he fell to the ground and his hand got wounded by the pebbles in the process. So I followed him to the toilet to wash his wound and he was moaning about his injury the whole time. Shut up already! You're acting like a big baby! 
6. After we redezvous with their parents and we rested for a while before heading to a nearby McD outlet to have lunch. After that, we were on our way to somewhere else! Try to guess, where were we heading? XD
7. Well, if u noticed the title I've mentioned a dam, right? Well, that's where we're heading! The Marina Barrage! :D When we first arrived, I though, "What's so good bout a dam?" 0.0 To my surprise, as well as it's purpose as a water supply reservoir, it's also provides flood control and of course, it's an architectural art! It's a dam with a huge building(the barrage) on the right bank and inside this building, there's a museum, fountains as well as a field to play kites there! My god, are all the buildings in Singapore so beautiful?? As well as having more than one purpose, and state of the art technology?? Seems so...
8. Once we arrived there, I started takings a lot of pics and I wouldn't have stopped if they didn't start moving towards the museum. It was quite sunny and they thought of sheltering in the air conditioned museum for a while. The museum was a big gallery about saving water for the future genaations and stuff like that...What I liked was the part where there was a model of the barrage, explaining its purpose with a real time demonstration ~ That was so cool ~
9. After spending half an hour in the museum, we went out and walked towards the ramp leading to the top of the building, where the field was situated. There were a lot of people playing kites, as well as people enjoying the view from the top of the barrage. You can the Singapore flyer from there! Oh yea, from there, you could see the dam separating the rain water from the sea water...you can see the difference in the color between those two ~ After that, we went to the dam itself and walked to the end before heading home...
10. I took a nap and woke up to find that it was already 7pm! As I quickly went downstairs, I saw that everyone was already prepared. Then, my mom had a stomach ache and went to the toilet. After she went out of the toilet, it was my dad's turn to have a stomach ache! LOL! Must be something they ate....(-.-)
11. We took the MRT to Orchard Road. I'm still impressed by the train station's spacious architecture and the Ez-Link cards. The train was quite fast and efficient too. There was a train every 2 mins! If only they were like this back in M'sia...
12. We arrived at Orchard Road in no time, thanks to the efficient public transport. Once we stepped outside the station, we were amazed by the dazzling lights and the christmas decorations. You all should've seen it! It was just sooooo beautiful! =D Managed to take a few pics before going to Pastamania to have dinner. The spaghetti there was quite delicious too but not as good as the one in Swensen's, I think. 
13. After dinner, we went out again to look at the pretty lights. We walked down the road, enchanted by the beautiful scenery ~ It was like a dream to me, surrounded by pretty lights, christmas trees, and the designer stores. Words cannot describe how beautiful it was. The only things that're more beautiful than that was ma cherie and Paris XD. There was also this guy performing some dance+illusion thing with christmas balls. He was a true pro, the way he balanced the balls in his palms and his dance was like Jeremy but 1000x better! 
14. After admiring the beautiful lights for what seemed like an eternity, we went back to the condo via MRT. Once I arrived and got ready to bed, my cousins, who I thought were already asleep, woke up and we chatted and chatted till 1am before finally, I doze off...

Day 3 (Market, Riverside, Merlion and the City Of S'pore)

1. After breakfast, my uncle asked me to go to the market to buy lunch for everyone. As I had nothing better to do, I agreed. Like yesterday, we took the MRT again to arrive at what my uncle called, "The Malay Section Of Singapore". Since my family could only eat halal food, that was the only place where he could buy lunch for them. 
2. We arrived at this market + food court building with Minangkabau style roofs, like the ones in Negeri Sembilan. We went to the market section first coz my uncle wanted to buy fishes for my grandma back home so that she could cook us some steam fish when we got back. Yummy! X) Ok then, we headed upstairs to the food court section to buy food. My uncle wanted us to try all of the different dishes unique only to S'pore, so his plan was to buy like 2 of this, 3 of that...you get the idea...And he choose all the stalls that had the longest queues coz he said those were better than the others. Apparently, those stalls had appeared in newspapers before, which explains the long queue...So, I, mind you, had to queue up while HE went to other places to buy food in other stalls with only a few people in line. I was like, "I don't the queue but why don't I just endure this once and buy everyone food from the same stall??? It's not like we'll all share around the food like for example, I'll eat a spoonful of my bros Nasi Briyani and he take some of my Mee Siam. It just won't happen so why don't we just buy everyone the same type of food and be done with it?!?!" Well, in the end I had to endure 3 EXTREMELY long queues to buy just a few dishes while he went to a LOT of shops and bought a lot of dishes. I was having doubts whether we could finish all of it...
3. Well, once we arrived home, all of us tackled the food and to my amazement, there was nothing left! (O__O) After that, we rested for a while before going out again...
4. This time, we took the MRT to Clarke Quay, which is like a riverside Bangsar, I guess...Saw a lot of Ang Mo there, playing snooker or just relaxing in the bars located everywhere in the quay. We walked toward a 4-star hotel called Novotel where my parents and bros are staying, courtesy of my uncle who won that 1 night stay there in some competition in his office. I wasn't staying coz my cousins wanna chat and play with me again that night. Besides, my mom told me they'll come back ater having breakfast. Later, I would really, really, really, regret this...:(
5. After they've checked in, we all took a leisurely stroll by the riverside, heading towards the S'pore Flyer ~ While they walked slowly, my cousin and I took pics as we were competing with each other to see who's pics are the best! XD We passed by a lot of S'pore landmarks, the Merlion, the Esplanade, those 3- buildings connected by a surfboard-like thing at the top and we could see the flyer in the distance. But before that, we entered what my cousins told me was the best hotel in S'pore, The Fullerton Hotel. Wow, the interior is really post, like those places where the rich guys in movies will go ~ After looking around for a while, then only we went to those landmarks I 've mentioned above. 
6. Unfortunately as we were approaching the Flyer, my bro said he was tired. Taking advantage of this, my dad and my other bro (who were afraid of heights), made some excuses. In the end, we didn't went up the flyer...=( ~ I was a bit disappointed but c'est la vie, al least this just S'pore not Paris >.<
7. After strolling by the riverside for a while looking at the sunset, (which was beautiful, btw) we finnally settled down by a Thai resaurant. I ordered this beef noodle soup and it was the BEST I 've ever tasted!! Serious, it's very very nice! To anyone reading this, you should try it! Try to look for a Thai restaurant that's near concert area and a view of the Merlion on the right.
8. After dinner, my cousins and I went to this place where there were big white balls with writing on them. Turns out you could borrow a marker pen from a counter and write anything on the balls. I saw messages like "Hope 2011 will be a good year", "I love you, ****", "I hope to be married next year", "I hope to go to USA soon" and stuff like that. Well, I wrote something too :P haha. Anyway, we went walking around Clarke Quay after that, enjoying the city skyline and the night life. Haha, I'm sure Jasmine will like it there coz there was a Man Utd Bar there! XD
9. After dropping my family off at the hotel, we went back to the condo. After once again chatting for a while, we went to dreamworld ~

Day 4 (Boring Day, with an earthquake ~)

1. Woke up, bathe and played that lame game, Wolfteam while waiting for my family to come back. Then, they called and said, they're gonna be late a lil bit. I waited and waited and waited till I was bored of that game. I glanced at the clock...it was already 2pm, where the hell are they?!?! I woke up at 5pm and not long after that, they finally arrived. Apparently, they went to shopping and bought a lot of stuff without me...haizz...:( ~ Although, I felt a lil bit angry...what can do I do...
2. For dinner, we went to Suntec City Mall's Swensen's XD ~ Haha, I felt like ordering that mouth watering Spaghetti Bolognaise again, but somehow my instincts tells me that something will go wrong so I went and ordered a lamb chop. My mom and bro ordered the spaghetti. The lamb chop was ok, i guess but the meat was a lil bit overcooked. And turns out my instincts were right, something DID went wrong with spaghetti. They were the last to arrive when we were about to finish our meal. So, when we ordered dessert, my mom and bro didn't get to order coz they were busy finishing their spaghetti. My cousins and I decided to order something called an Earthquake, 8 scoops of ice cream of different scoops. Yummy! ^^ When it arrived, it was smoking coz they put some..err...pebbles in the middle that reacts when poured water on it. Without wasting any time, we ate it like hungry lions who never ate for days! XD Suddenly, as I was scooping a spoonful of ice cream, there was a popping sound and water flew into my face! I was kinda shocked for a second there as I wondered how did the water get into my face from the middle of the bowl, but then I realized that it's a reaction caused by those special pebbles. Now we know why it's called "Earthquake" but I think "Volcano" would be a better name ~ Laughing, we continued to eat the ice cream till I realized that everytime it exploded, I was the one eating the ice cream...=.=...must be some kind of coincidence...
3. After that, we went to its famous Fountain Of Wealth. There was a plaque that said, "The Biggest Fountain In The World". Besides that, it is said to be able to grant wishes to anyone who goes around it 3 times, with the right hand touching the water the whole time. With nothing to lose, we all decided to give it a try. Well, I won't tell you what I wished for :P but I'm sure my closest friends will know ~ Right? >.< ~ I took pics of the fountain before we headed back for another good night's sleep. Although today kinda sucked, I know tomorrow will definitely be better coz we're going to ..............................THE UNIVERSAL STUDIOS SINGAPORE (USS) !!! XD

Pics:

Day 5 (USS)

1. For some odd reason, everyone (except me XD) woke up late! So, eventhough the USS opened at 10am,  we arrived there at 10.30am and there was another problem...My dad ordered our tickets online, and somehow, instead of 8 tickets, he only ordered 7 so...we need to wait while my aunt was queuing up to buy herself a ticket. I took a lot of pics of the blue globe thing while waiting ~ Unfortunately, the tickets were already sold out for the day...:( So, we had to go inside without her. She wanted to wait there till we came back but my mom said it would be better if she went back first, and pick us up at night. So, she went away and we entered the theme park. Wow, the entrance reminded me of the one in Gold Coast. It was quite small compared to Movie World. So, we started walking. We were at the Hollywood section and we turned left into the Madagascar section. I went into photographer-mode and started taking a lot of pics. There weren't a lot of rides in the USS, and the few that were there had the longest queues I've ever seen! The waiting time for them was average, 60 to 80 mins! OMG!!! D: From the Madagascar section, we went to the Shrek section and in the end, we decided to watch Donkey perform a show as it was the only one whose waiting time was only 15 mins. It wasn't bad, I guess ~ It/he made a lot of jokes about S'pore! One of them was, "ERP stands for 'Everyday Rob People'" LOL!! and it started to speak Singlish and started singing and dancing, soon the audience started clapping and singing along ~
2. Outside, we got a surprise! My aunt called my mom and told her that she managed to obtain a ticket from a tour guide who had left over tickets. So, we rendezvous-ed with her and went to the Waterworld, where a show was starting...We arrived there and saw seat of different colors, brown at the back, and blue in front. There was an announcement that says blue seats will get wet while brown seats won't. So, we sat on the brown seats coz we had cameras and stuff. Then, 3 guys appeared wearing costumes, more or less like they're going to a safari. These 3 guys had water guns on them and they shot everyone sitting on the blue seats! It was kinda fun, almost regretted bringing a camera with me...I saw this guy who opened an umbrella to shield himself. One of those safari guys saw him and called his buddies to approach him...then, they shot water at him at point-blank range!!! Hahaha, that was sooo funny! Then, there was a cinematic music that told me that the show was about to start...
3. Synopsis of the show: In the distant future, when the north and south poles had already melted, humans live in floating fortresses of steel and had to brace themselves from a band of pirates. The show starts with this lady who manages to obtain soil from somewhere...so they could plant vegetables to eat in the fortress. In their excitement, they forgot to lock the gates and the pirates barged in and killed everyone except the lady. They've taken her hostage when suddenly, there's this guy who came out of nowhere to save her ~ So, he fought with the bad guys and eventually won. The End. There was a lot of action, and pyrotechnics involved in the show. The play was ok, I guess but I kinda wasn't paying attention coz my cousin and I were fighting a battle of our own to see which one can have the best shots of the play...
4. After the show, we wanted to go on the Canopy Rider at Lost World but the queue was crazy! 90 mins! So, we decided to move on and come back later...Ah, here comes my favourite section of the USS! It's the Ancient Egypt section! Well, Egypt is one of my top 10 countries to visit anyway...I really liked the way they created the section :) A huge building surrounded by large statues of Egyptian deities...it's just my type of art! I'm a big fan of greek, roman and egyptian mythology and architecture! Ok, back to the story ~ Finally, in this section, we managed to find a real ride, not just shows but a real roller coster ride, with a waiting time of only 20 mins! It was called The Revenge Of The Mummy! Remembering that Ming Li recommended me this ride, I decided to give it a try. My younger cousin followed me but the older one was scared of roller coasters...lol...~ So we went to the inside that monolithic building, where the queue starts. They made the queue area so long that it extended underground. Wah, the undergroud part was soooo scary ~ I was having whether is this a roller coaster or a haunted house...The lights keep flickering brighter and dimmer alternately...It was almost like the light bulbs were almost used up and there was these sarcophaguses displayed there...I almost expected a mummy to rise up in one of them! Turns out that it wasn't 20 mins but double the amount of time! As we were approaching the end of the queue, we saw this tv that keeps rewinding messages like "this ride is not for pregnant people, pople with heart conditions, etc." and also "this ride contains acclerating, tilting, absolute darkness, flashing lights and backwards..." when i saw the word 'backwards', my heart stopped for a while...I never went to a roller coaster that goes backwards and I was really afraid...but it was too late to turn back now...the queue was getting thicker and I gotta push through a lot of bodies to get to the exit. Instead, I just thought of somebody's face and I felt a peaceful calm. Once I was strapped to the seat, there was no escape and I braced myself for the worse...
5. The ride started out pretty okay, it was quite slow at first, then suddenly, there's this mummy appeared on the side, he looked quite scary and he was saying something like, "THERE'S NO ESCAPRE FOR YOU!!! MUAHAHAHA" and then, the coaster accelerated like crazy! There was no warning, it just started speeding after the mummy's laugh! From there, everything was a blur...till we suddenly stopped and turned backwards! OMG!! That was one of the scariest moments of my life! It accelerated backwards as fast as it went forwards and there's that mummy's laugh over and over again, pretty scary experience, I tell you ~ Then, after a few ups and downs, forwards and backwards, it finally ended. My god, I was so relieved! I don't think I've ever scream that much in my whole life! After meeting with the others at the exit, we went to the Egypt section's souvenir shop for a while coz it was raining. Then, I saw it. One of the things I wanted the most and one of the main reasons why I wanted to go to Egypt, a Eye Of Horus keychain! I always wanted to own an EOH coz u know, Im quite obsessed with egyptian mythology ~ So, I bought it and I almost bought a T-shirt there too but a black T-shirt with a few printing was just too plain for $16. After that, we went out again as the rain has stopped and we continued walking till we arrived at the Sci-Fi City section.
6. There was nothing much there really. The main attraction, the roller coaster was closed coz it wasn't up to the safety standards. The other rides were kinda lame...In the end, for the sake of it, we went on this giant spinning cups. It was ok for other people, I guess but after riding the mummy coaster, this was kinda lame for me...
7. After that, we moved to the last section of the theme park, the New York section! Aaah, NY is one of my favourite cities and to be in a replica of one gave me quite a happy feeling ~ We had lunch there at this pizza shop. As usual, I ate my favourite food, spaghetti again! XD It was ok but not as good as the one at Swensen's. Then, there was a B-boy performance and man, they were pros. I don't think Samson an the gang can defeat them. :P ~ After taking a few pics there, we walked further till we reached a stage with those old fashioned mikes. Not long after that, 5 guys wearing the striped blue shirts came to the stage and performed there. It was like a typical Broadway show and their voices were quite nice. They sang all the top hits in the 50s. After listening to their melodious voices for a while, we arrived where we started, the Hollywood section. 
8. We bought a few souvenirs there and went to something called "Lights, Camera, Action!". It was a presentation of how special effects in movies are produced. There, we experienced how's the condition in NY in a hurricane. Wow, everything was so real! The strong winds, the raging waters and the ship's entrance into the barn... After that, we continued to the Madagascar section again and then the Shrek section. There, we went on a dragon roller coaster which was quite short (the duration of the ride, i mean) and the souvenir shop. Bros bought bobble heads of Shrek and Donkey and my cousins bought plush toys. (I still don't get it..they still sleep with a LOT of teddy bears on the beds although they're 13 and 11...=.=) Then, we went to the Lost World to settle some unfinished business.
9. Thank god, the queues weren't as long as before, not it was only around 15 mins or so. First, we went to the Canopy Flyer. That was kinda fun with your legs swinging high above the ground. Then, we went to this lame ride, where you fly the dinosaurs and you can make it fly higher with a press of a button. It's kinda like a merry go round where you can control the height ~ Ok, then we went to my 2nd most favourite ride in the USS, The Rapid Adventures!
10. I've heard about the ride from my mom's friend and she told me that it was quite nice. So, I was quite excited bout it. She said you'll get extremely wet so better make this the last ride before you go back. Haha, I'm ready! XD Thankfully, the queue wasn't that long already. When we first past through the ride in the afternoon, the waiting queue was 80 mins! Now, it was only 20 mins ^.^ The queuing place wasn't bad, there was a tv showing facts bout dinosaurs and pictures of dinosaur footprints, teeth, claws, and stuff like that. As we approach the end of the line, I noticed that the boat was similar to the one in Sunway's Rapid Adventure and the people coming out of them was soaked! "This is gonna be interesting," I thought.
11. The ride starts with the boat coming out of the station and there was a speaker that said, "Welcome to Jurassic Park, the Land Of Dinosaurs" and started to explain the current situation. Apparently, we were tourist entering this highly top secret place, where dinosaurs roam free ~ Suddenly, we saw these small dinosaurs, who started to shoot water at us. It was just a small squirt and certainly couldn't cause people to get soaked. It was quite relaxing ride really, a boat going down the river with dinosaurs occasionally spitting water from their mouths at us and a few bumps when the boat was too near the side of the river. The bumps cause water to enter the boat and soon, our shoes were wet. Then, quite suddenly, there was the sound of an alarm going off and we heard an announcement, "Passengers, please be calm. The dinosaurs have escaped and there are meat-eaters roaming free. We will get you out shortly." Then, there was a bood chilling roar of a Tyranosaurus-Rex and we entered some dark tunnel. Inside, there were a lot of dinosaurs on the left and right. We didn't notice at first cause it was quite dark, suddenly there flashing lights like lightning and we saw them. I jumped a little, out of shock when I saw them. They looked quite real, highly detailed and there must be a speaker somewhere in thier bodies coz they were growling and snarling at us. Surprisingly, beside the first dinosaur that we saw when we entered the tunnel, none of them squirted water at us. I was wondering how the hell did all those people got all their clothes wet as if the y went swimming? As if to respond to my question, the boat suddenly stopped at a dead end and before I knew it, we were going up! (pushed by an elevator hidden under the water!) Then, the was the head of a T-Rex at the ceiling, its eyes glaring at us! We kept going up till I thought we're gonna collide with T-Rex, I sensed daylight behind me. There was an opening thru the wall behind me! Before I knew it, we were sliding down some big slide! Let me tell you this, sliding backwards isn't a good experience and it was somehow like the mummy coaster...SPLASH!!! We hit the water again and all of us were soaked! Our clothes were all wet like we went swimming with them....except my dad! OMG!! He wasn't soaked at all! Somehow, the water missed him...(-.-)...reminded me of Percy Jackson, somehow...Anyway, he was sitting there laughing at all of us...=.=...We said the expressions on our face when we hit the water was priceless! My bros scooped a handful of water from the river and splashed him! XD Following their lead, we all started to do the same! :D Hahaha, that was a fun experience! 
12. After the ride, we changed our clothes. It started to rain too. So, we spent our last half an hour there shopping for souvenirs at the main souvenir shop by the entrance. My god! The queue there was the longest of all I've seen today! The store was so crowded by the people queuing up that it was hard to look around. I had to push around and kept saying, "Excusez-moi" ~ 
13. After exiting USS, we took a few pics before taking the monorail to Vivo City, a shopping mall. There we ate at a food court. Wow, the inflation rate in S'pore sure is low coz for $6, u could get a big plate of fried rice! In M'sia, u need at least RM12 to get the same dish of the same size. After dinner, we went back and haha, as usual , we chatted till late at night ~

Day 6 (Going Back...T.T)

1. Nothing much happened today...Just ate breakfast and then we bid adieu to my cousins before heading home...Once we crossed the border....my god...after being in S'pore, JB was so dirty, almost compared it with India, lol...

Sorry, no pics ~

Well, that was my trip to S'pore. Had a lot of fun there! ^^ The best moments were:

1. Swimming with my cousins (although I lost >.<)
2. Cycling at ECP
3. Pretty Lights at Orchard Road
4. Clarke Quay and the pics competiton
5. Mummy coaster and the fall at the Rapids Adventure at USS

Haizz, since coming back I was felling kinda depressed. S'pore was waaayyy better than M'sia in terms of architecture, public transprot, cleanliness, etc....Then, my cousin told me on FB that they coming here!  Yay!!! ^^ ~ But...there's a catch....they're coming when I'm having my PMR results! OMG! Now, it's either 1) I'll get extra prize money! ($.$) or 2) I'll get 2x the humiliation if I don't get straight As... I hope it's the first one...Pierre, signing off! :D

p.s. Sorry if the pics were lame or in bad quality...My lens were quite dirty during the trip...And for some odd reason, the color looks less...err...sharp...when I posted it here in the blog. For more pics, please look at my FB profile ~
