Saturday woke up rather 'early' @ 8.30 am. Ok la, it's not that early because I could have slept more given that it's on weekend and I didn't have to work... But this has always been my habit whenever got guests staying overnight at my house. Hohoho... Blame on the habit lo.
So the activity for Saturday was to visit Gardens by the Bay. Left house at 12 pm. Only one car going there first, sis and cousin went there by MRT. The weather wasn't very forgiving, quite hot. Heng everybody got apply sunblock lotion I bought from Korea *yang*, if not... CHAO TA liao! Aigoo. By 3 plus already finished most of the attractions there, sitting near to the entrances of the two air-conditioned domes, waiting for the rest to arrive.
就是要攻占這個景點
今年是馬年
但還是可以看到牛
表妹完全喜洋洋去！
大力自拍！
有形有款！
手機很大！
很得意的作品
上圖應該是穿山甲吧？
下圖是猩猩
當然不忘了要跟這特別的‘樹’拍照啦
她真的很洋！
來一個特寫
為什麼要拍這種草？
因為它可以被拗斷後再接回去的！
大自然的奧妙有時候還真的會讓我們意想不到的喔
醬特別的東西
當然要拍照留念起來！
雖然大姑講這種草在馬來西亞算普遍
孖仔跟新加坡的高樓大廈拍照
這些高樓大廈都是最近幾年（2010年後）才出現的
算是2.0版的，哈哈！
在涼亭稍作憩息
大家在忙著擦汗、喝水、吃東西
甚至補防曬膏（不是在這裡補妝的）
表妹都不會放過機會拍照留作紀念
這個雕像乍看之下頂多只是一個普普通通的大型藝術作品
近看才發現原來它沒有其他輔助構架來支撐那個重量！
細看之後才發現右手在支撐著整座雕像
真的很厲害喔！
Ok，他要爬上去拍照……
發現爬不上去
SOS叫支援來幫忙推上去
經過幾次嘗試、幾次掙扎、又給大家笑……
……終於爬上去啦！
走完花園後
在這裡等待著其他人的到來
就來一張合照！
The previous visits to Gardens by the Bay always ends up without going over to the neighbouring Marina Barrage, which I think it's a very nice place on its own with the greenery grass patch with vast blue sky - great to enjoy outdoor activities. The hindering thing is that it isn't very accessible from outside unless with a car. But this time round, with some time to spare in the late afternoon, we were able to pay a visit to Marina Barrage! ^^ Uncle's family also arrived not long after.
The place was super windy! Perfect for flying kite or to enjoy the scenery around Marina area. The wind was blowing almost constantly and we couldn't take photos for a few times due to the wind messing up our hairs. Nonetheless, people seem not to care about the wind and continue to enjoy their late afternoon there - the place was quite crowded too. 就是因為有大風，才能看見那麼多人放風箏！

我真的很久沒有來這裡了
上一回是一年半前ICT的時候
不然就是好幾年前的事了
這一次到來
記憶也會跟著回來的說
還記得那時候是穿著2PDF背心
參加AHM 2008在這裡路過
人那麼多
旁邊的廁所似乎剛經過世界大戰醬
又熱又潮濕又臭
Omo~
雖然沒有什麼好玩的東西
但他們蠻喜歡這個地方的說
人山人海
都來這裡野餐跟放風箏的
望過去金沙賭場那邊
天空好像開始暗起來
會不會下雨呢？
結果是沒有！
手機拍出來的panorama
比相機拍的好多多聲
效果我很滿意
洋！
我們去看人家放風箏
風箏pattern也很多
各式各樣都來！
當天最特別歸這隻‘章魚’莫屬！
但沒多久它就掉下來了
還是普通鑽石型最給力
I guess at night it's also a good place to watch the night skyline and to oversee those lights on ships off the coast ba. 確實會有一種興奮的感覺的說。
Aigoo... Accidentally parked at bus designated parking lot, didn't know the bus driver heard us talking about the lot. 都不好意思去……
Fortunately, we were about to leave and the lot was available for it. 6.30 pm left the place.
Went MBS and parked the car at the open carpark. *They should build a multi-storey one* 停車都麻煩啊！！！The queue stretched from Bayfront Avenue to Marina Boulevard! Luckily Aunt's car managed to squeezed into the road junction but in turn caused a little bit ofobstruction. Aigoo~~
Sis they all went to queue up to buy 貢茶. 生意好到鬼醬咯。
Was surprised that we arrived just in time for the water musical fountain show, which started 30 mins earlier than the expected 8 pm!
Omo~ But by then, the audience stage had been filled up and we could only watch the show some distance away. *其實都不稀罕，因為看過了……每次來看內容都是一樣的* Lasted for 15 mins only.

這台相機的好處就是它那F1.4大光圈鏡頭
可以拍出蠻出色的夜景照了

2 March 2014 (Sunday)
The programme for the second day of the weekend was to go Sentosa! 孖仔 wanted to have fun in SG - shopping or sightseeing don't seem to suit them, guessed Sentosa was the top choice for them when they visited SG ba.
Fortunately parking at RWS proved to be a lot cheaper than elsewhere on the island with the charges slapping onto visitors so easily as though there is no limit to it. Entrance charge one time, parking charge another time, even taking those rides also need $$$$. Everything is about $$ on Sentosa. Heng the buses were free to take, so that's not so bad. Otherwise $28 parking fee is almost RM73, 誰都會大喊吃不消！
Went to take a few pictures around the USS entrance before going over to the S.E.A Aquarium. The weather was a perfect sunny! 不擦防曬膏都不行。*韓國買的超便宜防曬膏真的很好用一下的說*
聖淘沙必拍的景點之一
聖淘沙到處都人山人海，在水族館排隊購票的人龍也長到嚇死人。We then looked for a place outside 馬來西亞美食街 to sit down and jiak nasi lemak for lunch. After that then go buy the tickets, upon reaching the counter, we then realised for foreigners there's a 10% off if they could produce passport. But relatives didn't bring along passports with them and all the passports were left in car. In the end went back to the car and retrieved them. 浪費些許時間了！Sag...
After much troubles and hassles, we finally entered the aquarium ($38). Only me, sis and all the relatives went in. Bro said he got meet with friends at 4 so he not going. Parents also not going and they will wait until promotion when price is cheaper. The aquarium wasn't too bad if viewed it solitary but the Busan Aquarium also almost 100% same as Sentosa one and it's only about half price. Omo, see prices are so inflated in SG...
Another thing was the amount of crowds. SSF, the whole place looked like wet market with people talking, shouting, squeezing here and there and everywhere. The exhibition glass was only this big, but people are 爭先恐後 to catch a glimpse and taking photos with the marine animals. That giant Pacific octopus must be jin sian and embarrassed because so many cameras were in front of it and the flashlights kept on flashing, which totally isn't its nature environment. 我看它都要hin去。
正式入場之前
這些擺設品好像要陳述一些歷史故事
好像與水族館無關的說
好像很恐怖醬
這張照片有很多魚的
是石頭魚嗎？
這些知識都很有趣
很美的一條魚
擺pose先！
忘了這個叫什麼
它們會打架喔
水母
人山人海
稍微影響觀賞體驗
好大條的一隻魚
Oh ya! There was a video being repeatedly broadcasted onto a big display describing a species where a mother cichlid fish would hide her children fishes in her mouth when a danger is present - first time knowing this. The speed of hiding all of her children into her mouth is so fast!
Exited and left the place at 4.45 pm. Waited for relatives as they were making a trip inside casino. Meanwhile bought the vanilla cone for $1.20. *Didn't know it's this expensive liao omo! O.o* Cousin spotted a McD coupon which allows him to redeem a free vanilla cone. Initially he wanted me to HELP him to get the vanilla, but I persuaded him to try to communicate with the service crew. Volia! He came back happily with hand holding onto the ice cream! Omo... 嫉妒中…… 呵呵
After that took the free shuttle bus to Luge ride attraction. 3 rides for $20, not very cheap ds. Kinda agree that one ride is enough le, because 3 rides can be quite time consuming, somemore can save money too. Nonetheless, it's very fun and really enjoyed myself during the ride. Took the longer 688 m route then the 628 m before going back to the 688 m route. Reason being, want the most bang out of the buck lol... 拜託，那麼貴當然要盡情享受啦。
Not only the downhill ride is super fun, the uphill cable car ride was breathtaking. The scenery behind the gondola at the sunset was FANTASTIC, SPECTACULAR and very BEAUTIFUL!
後來想想下其實玩一次就夠了
幾美一下
Damage: $59.20 (all expenses at Sentosa)
Left the place at 7.35 pm after about 1 hour 30 mins of fun and finally left Sentosa around 8 pm. Very curious about the actual parking fee at RWS and it turned out to be $28! Omo, 每次都這樣的收費很不行咧！Came back to have tze char dinner at Blk 442 downstairs *didn't see JX there*. Uncle also came over to have dinner together.
咕嚕肉
糖醋魚
辣味四季豆
鐵板豆腐
麥片蝦
海鮮紫菜湯
芙蓉蛋
Damage: $0 (total $131)
Tired yet need to wake up at 6 am next day to go work. Definitely Monday blues...
3 March 2014 (Monday)
After work went to Central @ Clarke Quay for Korean dinner feast at 6 pm. Morning the rest of them went to JE for shopping, then afternoon, sis and the cousins went to Bugis to shop for youngster stuffs. They arrived around 6.30 pm.
The twins bought a pair of shoes and a shirt - it's 'weird' looking one lol. Then 表妹 bought herself a phone cover I think. 總之就是大買特買就對了。
At Tae Woo, all of us wanted to try out the 짜장면 ($12) except for the cousins who don't seem interested in Korean food, so after our persuation, they shared an upsized bowl (top up $2). The response I received from them was that both sis and 表妹 gave their thumbs up after trying the noodles while the 孖仔 don't think it's nice. Aigoo...
飯後合照
Oops, no photo of the noodles, can always refer back to old post. They are all the same.
Damage: $20.50 (total $58.50)
Anyway, the twins wanted to try out fast food here. In the end went to Burger King downstairs while the girls continued shopping. The twins came back with a burger set and a few grilled chicken wings ($4.50). They thought the grilled chicken wings 騙他們的錢 because it's so expensive (it's over RM 10 for just 4-5 pieces of small drumsticks baituo)! LOL~ I already warned them that the chicken wings @ BK are quite expensive and only buy if really wanted to try out. If not just order the burger is enough. Now they complained 吃不飽…… *I don't know what to say good~*
Then whole lot of us went around Clarke Quay and Boat Quay to snap photos. Let them see another side of SG and not just Gardens by the Bay and MBS and Sentosa... They're quite beautiful at these places at night and definitely photo-worthy ones.
After which, we continued our way into Fullerton Hotel (yep the 6-star hotel). They were fasicnated by the toilet! It's super clean and very nicely decorated - it looks quite atas ds. Finally we ended up at One Fullerton where they could oversee MBS, Singapore Flyer, Esplanade and also get closer to the famous Merlion. Of course all these were recorded by photos taken with our phones! Hehe...
So without further ado, I shall let the photos do the talking (tired from typing so much out):
這盤炸雞就弄到孖仔mmdim去
相機表現沒有很好！
駁船碼頭望過去
就是在夜晚發亮的福爾頓酒店
近拍
Actually we were stuck here for quite sometime. We wanted to take a group photo of the hotel and therefore need to find a passer-by to help us accomplish this task. But those passer-bys can't take good photos ds, they were either blurred, can't see the hotel name, slanted, not centralised etc. In the end, tried a few passer-bys including both Chinese and ang mohs before we had some decent looking ones.
這些高樓大廈多數是新建的！
很享受這樣的景色的說
表妹完全被吸引住
頻頻讚歎好夜景
少不了魚尾獅啦！
從魚尾獅瞭望台望過去Marina Square那邊
比起大的
很多人會漏掉這個小型魚尾獅
因為大魚尾獅太搶鏡頭了
On our way back from Raffles Place by MRT and then by bus 334, they talked about the way local and Malaysian dress up themselves. While it's nothing wrong to have a few buttons unbuttoned on the shirt, it would definitely look nicer and smarter rather than sloppy if all except the top one are buttoned up. Keke... 表妹 commented locals here dress up quite well ds. *We have lots to catch up with HK, TW, KR and JP! They dress up even better ds. Can't blame ourselves, but the unforgiving hot and humid weather doesn't help.*
Sent 孖仔 back when sis and 表妹 went home to bathe first so that I didn't have to wait for my turn. It was already way past 10.30 pm when I reached home ds. 累到鬼 and there was safety course next day which is today!
That's all for the weekend.
