went to celebrate stella's birthday on the 13th.
many problems while planning.
met trixie at westmall.
waited for hazel for close to 2 hrs.
decided to have lunch while waiting.
went pasta mania and i had trouble eating as i was wearing a white top!
was meticulously trying not get the sauce on my shirt.
took so long that there was still half a plate left when i was already full.
couldn't eat anymore and left it there.
hazel came and train-ed to Junction8.
was settling some stuff on the train.
final plan was to go marina bay for steamboat.
bought for stella a ripples filps shared by trixie and wilson.
bought birthday cake at J8, then train-ed to marina bay while hazel went for her dance class at dhoby ghaut.
met stella, aryvn, pohlern, wilson there.
went for steamboat and then shereen and hazel came.
me and hazel went to the back to lit up the candles but while walking halfway, the stupid fan blew out the candles.
so had to lit them up again. the cake was full of wax lah. lol.
all the time, stella didn't know that we bought for her a cake. even when we met her at marina. lol.
after everything, went for pool.
so noob lah. the pros taught me.
i would always tilt my head one side, making my vision slanted as well.
and hazel would scold me for that.
was already 1am when we finished and took mini bus to arvyn's house.
watched shows online and slept for abt 3 hrs.
stella and shereen left at 4am.
we left at 9am but didn't inform arvyn cos we didn't want to disturb him.
wilson went home while hazel, trixie, me went for breakfast at macs.
took bus to bukit timah for pool. and the bus was so cute lah, in pink and purple.
trixie played lan while hazel continued teaching me.
and i won one game! but was cos hazel's white ball went in so i had a free ball.
and also cos the black ball was right in the middle of the pocket.
ended the game and went home.
met char on mon to go jurong creative centre to fix my mp3 player.
decided not to wait, so left the player there to collect it another time.
walked to IMM and had pepper lunch.
wasn't as fantastic as i thought.
the whole rice was so hot that it burnt my tongue.
watch alvin and the chipmunks at bugis.
damn cute lah!
walked around and i bought a shirt.
dinner at NYDC.
their tomato sauce was a little sour.
tried their oreo cheesecake. so super expensive for a slice of cake.
worst thing is that they don't accept NETS. luckily i had extra cash.
$6.95/slice.
eeyore on baby chair. see elmo and cookie monster behind?
cookie monster again.
choir ytd was ok.
got chosen for solo part for One Voice.
i want to back out cos i'd probably just crack and die during Sec One orientation.
and i'm known as The One With The Green Eyeballs cos i wore green contacts to choir.
one more week left till sch reopen and i haven finish my homework.
what we could have been, 11:50 AM.
finally! photobucket is working.
genting was quite boring lah, considering the rain and the coldness.
but i bought quite a lot of stuff there, nike black & gold tote bag to be used next year(coincidentally, char happened to have bought the same bag in s'pore and its S$20 cheaper!!), pencil case, 2 tops, scrunchies.
genting = 4 hotels joined tgt with shops and theme parks in/beside them. (yes, thats all.)
9th dec
took cab down to the travel agency at Boon Lay Shopping Centre (not Jurong Point. didn't know there was such a place either but it isn't anything like Jurong Point; it's basically a place with a lot of hawker centre and shops) at 8pm, and we reached the place at 8.10 pm. which leaves us 50 mins until the reporting time.
boarded the bus at 9.30pm and off to genting!
bro's passport was going to be due in a few day's time and the person initially didn't allow him to get through but in the end, he still managed to get through after 30 mins of negotiating.
couldn't sleep at all in the bus.
it was dangerous driving at night; with the fog on the screen making it impossible to see what was outside.
but at last, we reached there safe and soundly (and sleepy).
arrived at First World Hotel at 4.30am. (which was the stupidest thing ever)
and the was nothing to do at all! check in time was 1pm, so we left our bags at the bell counter, then toured the place, had breakfast at 6 and sat/slept at the reception until 10am.
my mom calls this the factory hotel.
breakfast at marrybrown.
then we went to the First World Theme Park and sat this(to kill time): Venice Gondola
the ride was S.L.O.W and the only thing to do is to cam whore.
and people actually did the throw-in-the-money-and-make-a-wish shit which i think is stupid.
did a little shopping until 1pm and finally checked in.
was lugging the bags to the lift when somebody "yo, mad".
turned left and saw jessie with her family.
chatted a little then went up.
the room was lousy lah!
no air-con, got table no chair, tv so small, and the worst thing of all: shampoo, conditioner and body soap all in one!
wth is that? how can u put shampoo, conditioner and body soap all in one?! if it really is so miraculous then why are people still manufacturing those in different bottles?
here comes the stupidest thing:
i actually went to use it on my hair! and my hair was so damaged the next day, with the ends in curls.
GAH.
water dispenser.
there was this shop named GIRLS with all the different prints on bags, clothes etc and i bought my pencil case there.(wasn't supposed to take pics but i still took =p)
dinner at Kenny Rogers.
the portion is THIS big. couldn't and didn't finish all as the chicken was so bloody i only ate the non-bloody parts.
see the steam? (but their muffins aren't fantastic anw.)
time and temperature check.
went back to the room, bathed and waited for my (still healthy)hair to dry till 12mn while watching shows on the small tv.
11th dec;2nd day; dim sum and porridge for breakfast.
time and temperature check.
and then off to cable car rides.
the fog.
horses below.
arrival.
shopping for snacks.
and then back to the cable car.
arrived at some other hotel and had dinner.
mom and her friend decided to go casino to "see"(but they didn't play after all) while me and bro went ourselves.
yet again the fog.
we decided to go to the Outdoor Theme Park. (it was finally not raining)
no editing done to the Ferris Wheel. nice effects right?
i particularly love this: Space Shot.
even took a video. but those ppl on this ride apparently weren't very scared.
see the left and right still got ppl swinging their legs and couldn't even hear their screams(if any, that is.)
i had to take off my slippers in case they flew off.
and it was very very cold up there.
we stayed up there for about 12 secs before droppiing down.
fun, but scary cos your butt isn't on the seat with it drops down.
so the only thing holding you down is the safety belt.
we wasted a lot of time waiting for the rides and by the time we wanted to try the go cart and flying coaster, it was already closed.
so wasted lah. i really wanted to try the flying coaster. ='(
but at least it didn't rain and we got the chance to play.
we went in about 7pm and they closed at 10pm.
the tags.
bought supper back. there's this GoGo prata wrap that totally rocks.
but the sausage wasn't very cooked cos u can't taste the cheese oozing out.
bathe and i just wetted my hair.
waited for it to dry while watching shows.
12th dec; last day
breakfast
even the rubbish bin knows vulgar words. lol.
did some last min shopping and checked out.
last check.
took the coach back.
the secenery looks somewhat like mt fuji.
mt fuji.
what we could have been, 9:10 AM.
