Vincent: m-Project: the story telling part 1 (photos update)

20100219
My flight was at 12pm noon (GMT+8) and I flew to Singapore for m-Project kick start. So I arrived at Changi International Airport. I couldn't remember when was the last time I came to Singapore. My brother was there waiting for me. He took the flight earlier and I took later one with business class. Kind of waste though, because I wasn't really having much luggage. But it was quite fun during the flight. In business class, before the take off, the stewardess would ask you what drinks you want. And yes, you can order anything, as long as it is can be found in Malaysia. A female passenger who sat beside me ordered a tomato juice drink and it really came. Besides the new stuff, I met an old friend in the flight. He's actually brother of my secondary schoolmate and he was the top student of his year back in secondary school time. =.= He's currently under JPA scholarship studying in New Zealand. Well, we used to play football together too. Haha, the good'o time =)

After my brother picked me up, we waited for his girlfriend to arrive. Haha, she's shorter than what I expected, nevertheless, she treated me quite well, unless someone else, but we'll talk about that later =)

Them =)

Then we took cab straight back to NUS. And I must say, I like the school very much. After a short rest and dota ;p we went one round school tour in the school shuttle. Then we went to China Town along with his gf and yea the big bully Tina Beh (horse). We walked around, and tasted mantou in different flavors of soup.

yum yum.

Then we had Thai Food as dinner. The food reminded me of Nuch from our church, but she definitely cooks better food than the restaurant. Not to mention how expensive the food was. Okay, maybe I'm stingy, but it was seriously not worth the price. Oh well..

After tired walking around, we went back. They wanted to discuss something with their other friends and I tagged along. Met new people called Sushi and talked craps with them. And about match-making.=.="

Well, basically that sums up the first day but it was fun meeting new and old friends and having some laughter together.

to park or not to park? =S

Woke up finding myself alone on brother's bed. I guess I dozed off while he was still doing his school stuffs. And he as well at his girlfriend's place. LoL. So around 9am Aunt Nancy came to pick us up along with my pretty cousin Stephanie. We went to Vivo City. Steph showed me an awesome shop. Its name is "Build-A-Bear" and the name says it all. It's like you can choose the bear fur that you want, stuff in the cotton as much as you want, and then give the bear some clothing and accessories that you like. Basically the bear is customizable. Very fun wehhhhh. Too bad we didn't buy any. The price is kind of expensive. But it should be fun, I guess =(

让我们 Build A Bear, Build A Bear… =)

Anyway, we took the train to Sentosa Island. We hopped out at Imbiah Station and walked all the way up to see the Merlion and then flower garden, wishing tree, then to some sort of themepark thingy. Initially I thought I wanted to view the whole Sentosa Island, but seeing that the ascending was sooooo slow and have to stuck on the top of the lift-up for quite some time, we went to watch 4D movies instead. We 'experienced' Pirates and the Deadman's Cave, and then Extreme Log Ride. Hmm, graphics are bad as expected, but oh well.

Then fun fun fun! Haha, we went to play the Luge and Skyride. I recorded 2 short clips and will upload to here when I get my internet. But it was damn fun can sliding the cart thingy. And I must say I know how to drive. LoL. The track led us to the beach, so after the 2nd ride, we met up Aunt Nancy at Sentosa Station and took a ride to Siloso Beach. The beach was nice, we wanted to 'taste' the water so I bought a slipper =)

We walked along the beach, wanted to try some extreme stuffs but later chicken-ed out lol. Anyway, after some walk we went back and continue our second photo sessions at the flower garden and Merlion again. Footprinted it =) On a side note, I'm actually having fun with GPS photos. The photos are snapped with GPS location and information so in the future I can trace them back at Googlemaps for example. Haha.
We went to take a look at the new Casino and Universal Studio which haven't opened at that time. And hmmm... I must say that the design of the place are bad. It's like there are many shelters that connect to each other. But when it's raining, the rain water just fall between shelters. So it's like... =.= hmmmmm.... LoL.
Anyway, we're all hungry so we took train back to Vivo City and had our lunch/tea-break/whatever at No Sign Board Restaurant. It is famous by the crab that the chefs cook. And yum yum =) haha.

After paying the bill and tasted the 藕尼 (I'm not sure the writing) as dessert we headed our way to watch Chingay 2010. Apparently I'm so lucky that Binghan able to somehow get tickets for us, plus it's 50th Anniversary of Singapore so it's like a damn huge event =) It was awesome. The crowds, the atmosphere, the cheer... and and the fireworks. It's more than WOW =) and it made me realize that I actually like to watch fireworks. LoL. Anyway, it was quite an event and I'm so glad that I went. KRavings was best float. Screw the organizer float which won the float-vote. LOL.
