Forest walk Hortpark

Sunday, January 24, 2010

Hey there! Only 2 more days to go! Can't wait!! Well, 1 more actually.
(Gosh! look at the time, lol)

Saturday was a pretty fun day for me, walked a forest walk at vivocity hortpark with Boon kim and Irwan. Originally we wanted to walk to mount Faber but ended up straying from our destination.

However, i still had lots of fun. One thing that caught my attention was people feeding the monkeys, don't you think that it is wrong? Feeding them could harm them... The monkeys were being fed fruit but i have no idea where the fruit came from. (It obviously contained chemicals though)

After walking a looooong way, i checked my watch and had discovered that we had walked for 3 hours non-stop! And i was not even tired. How weird, i am usually tired after walking for an hour.... After that, the 3 of us had KFC and went back home.

During the walk, i took a few shots with my camera... a few, 5 actually. haha

It's obviously late now so going to sleep..zzzzz

Realisation

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Yesterday i went with Irwan, Samuel, Boon kim and Shaun to watch a movie, titled Daybreakers.

It was also the day i came to realise something.... I actually cannot stand watching horror or shocking stuff in a theatre.

In the beginning, I still felt okay and roughly enjoyed Daybreakers. But, after 5~10 minutes into the movie, every part of my body was telling me to leave. Finally unable to watch it any longer, I left the theatre....

After that, i could not recall the fear that i had experienced before. Sigh.... there goes my S$8.50. S$6.50 for the tickets and S$2 for popcorn and drinks. ( the 4 of us shared money)

Well, i guess this will be a lesson learnt.

Closing off, i would like to apologise to samuel, boon kim and shaun for bailing out on them.
Really sorry guys.
And, I would like to thank Irwan for leaving the theatre with me. thank you, you are truly my best pal. Even if you left for any other reasons, thanks pal.

Zoo trip!

Sunday, January 17, 2010

Zoo! Its been ages since i last went. Well, anyway, the Zoo changed a lot since i last saw it( about 6 years ago i think, haha).

For the most part, i don't really remember what i saw previously so it was a new experience for me, that includes the walk, very tiring. Overall, the Zoo was awesome! I took a couple of pictures too, some of which i forgot what animal they were. Of course i did not go alone. Alan, Winston, Shaun, Zhi jun, boon kim, De yuan, Mei fong, Wei ling and Zhi hui.

And, for some strange reason, most of the time the animals would turn away when i am trying to take a picture of them...

Moving on, i still managed to take several good shots. after a while, the girls wanted to eat so we went to the nearby KFC. Over there although i did not buy, shaun and the rest said the food was very expensive. I thought to myself, ...so its not standardized? having no money on me, i just took a few fries from Boon Kim, while Winston was messing with my camera... After that, we walked around some more and i took more pictures.

Throughout the "journey", we went to see 3 free shows. 1st was a show about a jungle. The overall story tells about a businessman trying to deforest a forest to build a shopping mall. There were many interesting animals shown, such as..... darn can't remember. I think there were chimpanzees, rabbits, ducks etc... oh and a snake too. As for the actors, they were able bodied men doing a dance, very much like those you see on movies with wild tribes. There was even a Caucasian guy who volunteered. He had to take off his shirt! And when he did that, everyone was like "yeah!!" and "whoo!!", totally hilarious.

The 2nd was called splash zone I think. Pretty amazing stuff, there were penguins, pelicans( who weren't part of the program...) and a sea lion.

3rd was a live polar bear feeding show, which we could not see anything as we had a bad seat...

After the "journey", which lasted from around 1.30pm to 6pm, we decided to have dinner. Winston had to leave us due to family issues.(I think his mother got sent to the hospital). The girls suggested that we watched a movie. We were all fine with it but knew that the earliest would be around 9pm. But, we went anyway, tried out our luck. Boon Kim parted with us at Somerset. Mei fong too i guess, or was it earlier? While going there, i noticed some thin very weird. During the Zoo walk Wei ling and Zhi hui were totally exhausted of energy but while going to the movies, they were SO full of it, that it made it look like we did not even walk for 5 hours.

As expected, we were unable to get tickets for anything before 9.15pm. We then parted with the two girls, had dinner and headed home. It was during the journey back that something funny happened. Because we were at Cathay and did not know a direct bus back, we had to guess. After some time, bus number 36 was decided. The bus would stop at st pat secondary school and we could head back. But obviously, things did not go well when we missed our stop and went all the way to the airport. During the trip, Alan and I already suspected that it was weird for the bus to go up an expressway to reach our destination.... oh well, it could not be helped.

With almost all my energy drained, i got home around 10 and began updating my blog... this.

Oh yeah, i actually saw a person wearing the female school uniform from Shakugan no Shana anime. I thought to myself.... cosplay? In Singapore Zoo? no way... Well it could be just me...

And lastly, Goodnight all!! Very tired...

Poly open house

Thursday, January 7, 2010

Ahhhhhhh!!!! O-level results next week!!!!

Alright... Today i went with Irwan, Boon Kim, Samuel and his brother Isaac to Singapore poly and Nee ann poly for the open house. And i most probably would not be going for the other days, too tired.( Too much Weiss schwarz... whats wrong with me...sigh)

Anyway, both places were amazing! First of all, most of the explanations are done by first year students. Overall, the courses were pretty interesting. We went to learn about Maritime and some stuff about 3D and solar power in Singapore poly. There were those solar powered motorcycles over there, the design looks surprisingly good. A surprising thing we saw, or i noticed first at least, is the appearance of cosplayers! At both poly! Well, i did not take a pic of them. There was a cosplay group of Hatsune miku, chrome dokuro, lenalee lee and can't remember the last one... Anyway, the Hatsune Miku cosplayer looked like Brenda Khong, could be just me though. I tried out Archery too, very good feeling.... I actually hit the same spot twice! lol

Next we had Macs( cheaper than outside macs), well i had macs, and we headed to Nee ann. Naturally, we had to take a bus there, cramped packed. Initially, i did not know when to get off, but it was pretty obvious when many people started to alight. Like Singapore poly, Nee ann was very full. We first headed to the Film, media and sound section. It was quite cool, we learnt about advertising, mass comm and a little bit about filming.(Way too bad Sam..) After that, we took the tour bus and headed to the infocomm section. There wasn't really much to do though. But, it some how was really interesting as we got to see the artworks and projects of the students. We also saw their sketches and rough drawings. After walking a bit, we decided to take a picture for keeps sake. The result was pretty funny. You'll know when you see it. It should be on my facebook within two days.

That was roughly it. I decided to check out the convention centre.(SOY is going to be held there, i think) The place was good, big and had nice floors. Hehe, i can't wait... Right after, I wanted to see if there is a both that was related to cosplay... sadly i could not find it and time was running out too.With the little time left, we decided to try out the archery at Nee ann. It was getting late, so we left. I bought a 9 slot card Album with Irwan and went home.

This marks the end of open house.
