While I am doing my job hunting in Singapore, I also take some time to go around. The motive is to get use to the environment here. But actually it is a vacation for me (grin). Well, we went shoping in Harbour Front Centre / Vivo City. Most of the shopping centres in Singapore have nice places for children to have fun. Outside of the building, there are fountain, pond, monument, horses and a lot entertainments for kids to splash, running, riding and screaming around. And this is first time I saw this cute pony. Kids will ride on top of it and it is manual not using battery. I saw my nephew have to keep standing up and sitting down to make the pony moves, just like a real way of riding a horse. Can’t stop laughing at him. After 5 mins, he gave up, too exhausted for him.

There is still time after we shop and eat. So, my cousin suggest we go to Sentosa. It is so convenient. There is a station in Vivo City, selling tickets to Sentosa. It only cost S$3 for adult/child. This ticket entitled us to go/back Sentosa by the monorail. Map is also provided. While we are in Sentosa, there are free shutter buses to bring us around, to the Siloso Beach, Underwater World, The Merlion, Fort Tours, Golf Club and a lot more. For more info, visit www.sentosa.com.sg.

Sentosa has 3 beaches: Siloso Beach, Pahlawan Beach and Tanjong Beach. I only went to Siloso. There are a lot of young people on the beach doing their activities but not much in the sea. Maybe it is due to the ships and boats. Well, in Singapore you can see all those cargo ships everywhere in the ocean. Well, and I took a picture of the day before we left.

We had our farewell gathering  1 week earlier for SP will be leaving for Jakarta again next week. We met up at The Sanctuary, The Curve. It is a combination of few concept bar, pub, restaurant etc. There’s an Ice Bar inside it. But we just have a look from outside cos we do not fulfill the requirements like wearing their jackets, order a vodka each, maximum 10 mins in 15 degree room..

The place is quite nice with some type of seatings like sofa, bench, swing and also a traditional wooden chairs. The whole place is in orangie red lights and some holy statue of dunno where it from. The decoration is moderate with red bulbs and iron steel hanging around. There are also 2 pool tables there which gulp your 6 x 50 cents, big screen to watch football match from both side, DJ but no dance floor  .

The food is mainly of Thai style with prices from RM18 – 30++. The interesting is that the names of the beverage: Blow Job, Orgasm, Panty Dropper, Slippery Nipple and a lot more. Oh, and we ordered a jug of drink that contained ice more than drink  .

We were busy taking our photos for memory and I forgot to take photos of the surroundings. So, you guys just imagine the place from my decription. Haha..

After we bided good bye and I reached home, I was recalling everything about the time we had in uni . Then, while I was typing an sms for all of them to thank them for a great time and present and also thanks for being such a nice friends.. my tears rolled down..

Sam Poh Tong is a temple in Ipoh, Perak. There is a beautiful temple and colourful 12 animals. bridge, kuanyin statue and alot of tourist attraction there. But I just went to another temple, where Ah Paul rested her ash. Nothing much to see here for it is a place ppl come for prayers or cheng beng.

"Tong" means hole or cave in chinese. So, it’s caves everywhere in Ipoh: Kek Lok Tong, Perak Tong.

But we just post as excited as we can to make it interesting, before we bored ourselves.

And we saw an Oriental style Temple as customary.

But out of odd, there’s this Western style fountain in front of it.

And lastly as usual, there are tortoises in temple. Tortoise represents longevity to chinese. We saw there are dried dead tortoise shell near the tortoise cage. I was wondering if they will have nightmare seeing their ancestor.

Yesterday, out of sudden, BabyCactus bring me to Taman Tasik Titiwangsa to see the Ferris Wheel – Eye on Malaysia. We just drive there and bet on our luck, and yes indeed we are lucky to have a parking space just at the entrance.

So, we just simply walk around and do some information collecting so that we can come next time with our family to avoid all the rush and crowd. We were lucky to have our camera with us but not lucky enough cos it’s in low batt status. Only manage to snap some photos but not so clear without flash.

Well, there are fairy tales saying that couple should be on Ferris Wheel or Merry-Go-Round so that they will be together forever happily. I don’t care it’s a fairy tale or what, but I will come again. Ferris wheel, wait for me..!
