Gathering

2012-01-15T10:28:00.000+08:00

Yesterday met up with my secondary classmate Nelson and Marcus for a dinner at Vivo City, The King Louis Grill & Bar. It is a medieval castle theme western restaurant with sea view facing Sentosa, they also got live band.

Ordered Cheese Fries as a starter and we three shared it, I like it but they say it is not up to their standared.

As for the main course Nelson ordered Pan Fried Fish Fillet,

Marcus ordered Sirloin Steak with Rosemary Red Wine,

and I ordered Cheesy Chicken.

These three dishes I think that the steak taste the best followed by the dory fish and the chicken that I ordered taste normal.

The King Louis Grill & Bar is located at:

1 HarbourFront Walk

Vivocity #03-07A

After dinner I went to Shanghai Dolly and wait for Joan to finish work.

After meeting her we went to La Barra Di Vino then followed by Neverland.

Hainan Trip

2012-01-13T00:36:00.000+08:00

Gonna introduce you another country that I have just visited. Hainan, I went there with MaoQi for 10 days and visit places like Hai Kou, Long Gun, San Ya and Wan Ning from 25 December 2011 to 4 January 2012 the average temperature there is in between 15 to 24°C. It is located at the East Asia, China.

On the plane

Ordered two food as I'm very hungry, love the bread!

Hainan has two international airport, one called Sanya Phoenix International Airport and another is Haikou Meilan International Airport which is the one that we arrive at.

Had steam boat when we reach there, for the soup base we choose Herbal Soup.

We felt quite amazed that they use Seahorse as a kind of herbal in our soup.

Sushi Restaurant

Long Gun

We arrive at a peaceful village which is MaoQi hometown called Long Gun.

I believe that every family in the village have the own vegetable farm.

They also have Chicken,

Duck,

or Goose.

The people there feed the animal until they grow bigger and saluter them to make dishes like Wenchang Chicken, it is one of the most well known dish throughout the province of Hainan.

They either consume their own food or sell it to earn some money.

Duck have good bonding,

they always stay together no matter what. So cute~

Hmmm, what about goose?

Small passageway left behind as a gap in between houses.

Bored, so played with camera. My eye.

Papaya Tree

I love milky sweet.

Look at China Lays potato chip packaging.

This place is one of the tourist attraction in Longgun, sorry that I forgotten the name of this place.

Performance at the tourist attraction.

He actually used his tongue to lick the hot plate, it is very hot that your skin will stick on it when you touch it.

Went to Bamboo rafting after the performance.

Different country got their different style of bamboo rafting, you might want to take a look at "this".

Wan Ning

Wanning is hot throughout the year. At times it can become cold with temperatures between 5 and 8°C. Wanning is quite near to Longgun, for what I think Wanning is the best place to hangout if you love night life.

Fish farm

The surrounding of fish farm.

Fishes, the skin of this fish is able to change into 3 type of different colours.

Cross Stitch!

They are so clever to invent this kind of thing, this is not a light stick. It is x10 bigger than light stick and it is made of styrofoam.

San Ya

Sanya, the second largest city in Hainan the city that attracts many tourist.

We stayed in the hotel at Sanya for 1 night as tomorrow morning we will be setting off to one of the attractions in Sanya.

During the first day we were bored so we went to play pool

and ping pong in the hotel that we are staying.

Sanya also has a Duty Free Shopping mall.

You can find quite a lot of brand here.

CDF, China Duty Free?

CDF is a two storey shopping meant for "tourist only" passport is needed for verification and item can only be collected at the airport on the day when you are departing.

Wine cork with design, found on one of the roof top cafe in Sanya.

It's morning! This is the sea view from the hotel which I'm staying.

Breakfast.

Set off to Suan Yin of the South Sea of Sanya after breakfast.

Need to take a long stroll before we reach the statue of Guan Yin

This is currently the fourth taller statue in the world, and the tallest Guan Yin statue in the world.

108-metre (354 ft) statue of the bodhisattva Guan Yin.

Bought some red string which will give us blessing to tie on to a tram below then Guan Yin.

I'm sure you notice something Korea? haha

1rmb for 1 coin, toss it into the lotus and wish for a better life.

Have a coconut~

This lady is selling seashell to make a living.

"Man: Is this real seashell?

Salesgirl: OF COURSE!"

There's also no winter here, it is hot throughout the year in Sanya.

The statue has three aspects, one side faces inland and the other two face the South China Sea, to represent blessing and protection by Guan Yin of China and the whole world.

We took a tram back to the entrance as we walked a really very very long distance to the end of the temple.

End of our trip in Sanya, and I also heard that they are building a Water theme park in Sanya that will be done in 2013. Sanya is a place that tourist should visit, there are many other attraction in Sanya other than this.

Hai Kou

Went to Haikou to stay for a few day before going back. Guess what's this?

We are so lucky to sat on the taxi powered by electricity, whole Hainan only have 7 of it.

Shrimp snacks from KFC

---END---

I know the picture is very less, will take more next time.

Went to Zouk after that, but at that time is quite late already and Phuture has reach is maximum capacity so we went Power House. Later a bit more people join us. I'm happy because this is the first time I'm celebrating my birthday with so many people.

Day 10/Day11 - Chiang Mai

2011-11-17T00:54:00.000+08:00

Today will be the most interesting day of all on my Thailand trip, so you can't skip this post!

Had my breakfast in the hotel before heading out, they have many variety of food to choose from and these are what I took for my first round.

After breakfast my family and I waited at the hotel lobby for the driver to pick up up, their rate is reasonable like that I said yesterday. 1,000 baht for half day and 1,500 baht + fuel top up for full day.

First place we went was the Elephant Park, riding elephant was always my wish.

1st thing to do there is to watch the elephant show, so before we were seated I bought some elephant food to feed them so that I can take pictures with the elephant.

Elephant and the Manhunt posing for the camera

And me with the cutie elephant ^^V

Look at the elephant pose, it is crossing it's leg!

Nice shot but my sister closed her eye, cause she was scare of the elephant.

2nd shot

One of the young elephant is very playful, when my mum wanted to pluck a banana to feed it the elephant snatch the whole bunch of banana and swallow it up.

The elephant had rough and spikey hair.

Many people were crowding at an area while I'm seated so I went to squeeze in and take a peek too, it was bath time for the elephant before the show starts.

Elephant are having fun

Elephant are queuing to head to their stage for performance.

(So sorry, I recorded the full video of the elephant show but I don't know why I can't upload them. It might be in the wrong format so that the video is fail to upload, will try to upload ASAP if I can.)

These are drawing of elephant by elephant

They were put to sales to raise fund for the elephant park.

Went for OX Riding after the Elephant Show, I can say it is a very rocky journey.

Later we were asked to stop at some place where the is road side stall and we walked to the place to wait for an elephant ride.

Woooo~ I'm on a elephant, an long and rocky journey.

And the elephant walk pass a lake to another side of the so called "forest"

Later the manhunt let us to rest at a place where we can take photo, and we bought food from the road side stall for the elephant. They eat banana and bamboo.

Busy sorting out food for the elephant

Me yay with the banana

After looking at this photo then I realize the elephant that my sister and I ride is bigger than our parent's elephant

The elephant gave me a scare when I never feed it because I wanted to post for photo but it can't wait to eat so it blew air on me. So far we do not have any perfect shot with the elephant, not missing one head means elephant not ready for pose if not means camera man hand blocking the camera lens.

Elephant time to have a rest, the drink water from pond

Bamboo Rafting is our next activities after the Elephant Ride

This young elephant really love drinking water. I love downslope too, so trilling but my sister was scare.

Elephant walking by the lake again, this time our elephant poop while walking. It's poop is very huge!

Lunch time after the Elephant ride, we had buffet.

These are what I took, their food really suits my appetite.

This is ABC Soup if I'm not wrong.

Heading to bamboo rafting, we both look like kampong lady

Look at my dad, I think he want to do the :P face

We have two rafter, one at the front and one at the back.

An elephant look alike tree, interesting. Did they sculpture it or this is the natural growth of the tree?

Caucasian having fun on their elephant ride.

Our rafter is so good, they let me tried bamboo rafting. I feel so honored to be their guest. It is easy to raft but what I want to say is the bamboo is very heavy!

They have a resort builded somewhere near the elephant park, currently is not ready yet.

The rafter ahead of us said to our rafter "no tip no tip" because they did not get any tip and my mum gave our rafter some tip, the rafter ahead of us must be envying our rafter. If you go there remember to give them tip, they really earn very less, as low as 200 baht per day which is less than $10sgd so they really the need tip, at least let them feel happy with the tip you gave.

A visit to elephant park is a must, I make sure you enjoy your day there and never regret.

Local only need to pay 1,000 baht to enjoy OX Riding, Elephant Ride, Bamboo Rafting and also include Buffet. I'm not sure the price for foreigner but I think should be around 2,000 baht or less.

If you love adventure there is an zip line adventure around the elephant park too, I wanted to give it a try but no one dare to play. Their website is www.treetopasia.com view for more info you can book in advance and no payment is required for booking.

After fulfilling my wish of riding an elephant both of my parent wanted to go to shooting so the driver drove us to the nearby shooting centre.

Instructor guiding me on how to hold and operate the gun.

The gun I used was 357 Magnum Revolver, not heavy but for a first timing like me my aiming was not very good. For that gun is around 1,000+ baht for 20 bullet.

Looking at my mum shooting while it is her turn, pardon me on my relaxing pose.

Went to play go kart at X-Centre after shooting, they have many kind of activities at X-Centre but prepare to bring a lot of money if you're going there because their ticket are all very expensive. Their most expensive activities is the Offroad Buggy which cost up to 7,000 baht and is around $300sgd, would like to try it next time if I have the chance to. Visit their website at www.chiangmai-xcentre.com for a list of their activities.

Today went back to hotel very early because my cousin is waiting for us at the hotel for us to go back, later we rest at the hotel for awhile and went out to shop at night market. I really love shopping at thailand night market because the things that they sell are really very cheap but if they found out that you are not local then prepare to pay extra for the item that you eyed for.

Bought all these little plushie, they are not as simple as what you thought they are ;)

18 November 2011

2nd Breakfast that I had in the hotel, it is simply delicious~

Went to the Airport after we had our dinner and prepare to check-in

The lady and the man on the right is one of my two cousin

Please don't think that I'm wearing the same grey top, is a two different piece previous one is from cotton on body this is from forever21!

Finally I'm back to Singapore

On these 10 day trip we only spend around $2,000sgd for 4 people, not including hotel fee.

Day 9 - Chiang Mai

2011-11-16T20:58:00.000+08:00

This morning took the most expensive bus from Green Bus to Chiang Mai from Mae Sai, there's VIP seat infront and we got it. Their service is good and the space of the seat is big too but I didn't have a picture of it. Make sure you make reservation first if not there might not have a seat for you.

When we reach Chiang Mai we first check into our hotel called Pornping Hotel I can guarantee it is affordable for everyone and you will sure be satisfied of the room. We booked 2 Deluxe room and it cost less than $200 for 3 day 2 night. They also have a tour service at an affordable price too, so we booking an driver. Before we even view our room we are already at the Chiang Mai Zoo, hahaha! Same as Bangkok Zoo, foreigner need to pay a double price for the entrance ticket compared to the local.

There is a Panda World inside the Zoo and beside it there is a Snow City.

We bought ticket to go inside and view the panda, there is only 3 panda inside. I think it is not recommended to go into the Panda World as it is not worth it.

1 Handed Crab

The entrance to Aquarium comes along with the ticket to Zoo, super worth it!

Chiang Mai Zoo Aquarium Facts:

It is the biggest aquarium in South East Asia covering 4 acres.
Their tunnels are the longest in the world measuring 133 meters!(Both saltwater and freshwater tunnel are 66.5 meters each.)
Chiang Mai Zoo Aquarium us a living museum that joins both fresh and salt water environment in one place. The aquarium allows all living creatures to coexist under one roof and represents territories from their significant ecosystems.
It is regarded as the first "Mountain Top Ocean" in northern region of Thailand.
This Aquarium exhibits more than 20,000 fish with a diversity of 250 species. The fish are imported from both Thailand and other countries crossing over thousands kilometers from the sea.
The "Monster and Creatures Zone" is the biggest indoor exhibition for insects and reptiles. Their exhibits include previously unseen creatures such as a Doi Inthanon Cascade Frog, the local frog that is found only at Doi Inthanon, Chiang Mai Province and the "Indo-Chinese Water Dragon", the biggest chameleon in Thailand.

Copied from ChiangMai Zoo Aquarium brochures

Fish feeding using milk bottle outside the aquarium

These gold fish are bigger than the normal ones

Can you see something?

Sorry that I might not be able to name all the sea creature as I'm not really familiar to them.

This is a so called "transparent fish"

Baby stingray, so cute :3

I think these fishes look like "Dong Hai Long Wang" hahaha

One of the most poisonous snake in the world

Glow in the dark Scorpion

What is she doing??? Chopping our aquarium passport every station to get entitled to a free photo taking.

Stone frog. Can you see it?

Sorry but I think that these worm are disgusting.

Some kind of snake

Clown fish aka Nemo

and it's friends~

Stingray pond

Unknown sea creature eating a prawn

Stone fish

Aquarium performance

Humongous Stingray, cute~

Really sorry as I did not note down the names of those sea creature. Heading to the Aquarium souvenir shop now.

This time I did not purchase anything from a souvenir shop but had a happy photo taking.

Kola Bear, had a hard time taking this picture as it is very playful.

Left Zoo very quickly because we still need to go to Doi Suthep Temple before the sun set.

Chiang Mai Zoo is better for its Aquarium, if you are more interested in animal and you have a vehicle you can visit Bangkok Zoo as they have a Drive in Zoo.

(Click here for my Bangkok Trip on 2010)

Doi means mountain, same meaning as "Bukit"

A visit to the Temple at Doi Suthep is a must for any visitor to Chiang Mai like what many people say, if you never been to Doi Suthep means you have never been to Chiang Mai before!

And also please remember this, if you were to visit any temple in Thailand do dress appropriately.

I saw many coin on this table and I tried pasting one without using anything to stick.

After taking this picture my camera battery went dead, the two photo below are taken using my phone.

And I saw another table with my zodiac clearly seen and I paste another coin, if you can notice my coin is the most shiny one with the king head facing out. I'm not self praising haha.

Visitor need to climb 309 step to reach the temple, alternatively you can choose to take a tram, either way up there will be an entry fee. Foreigner of course need to pay more than the local.

This last photo is featuring the whole Chiang Mai, sorry if it is not very clear. I force switch on my camera and take a quick shot and it went out of battery again.

Day 8 - Chiang Rai

2011-11-15T20:11:00.000+08:00

Today was the day that I woke up most late, because we've ran out of place to go. After I've wake up I stayed at home to prepare, eat and wait to go out, too some picture while waiting because I'm bored. Plus very long never self shot already!

Around evening then we started going out, we went to a place that I remember I have been there before when I was still a kid.

Monkey village?

Mom bought some fishes to set it off while sister and cousin is feeding fishes.

When I first alight from the car I went close to a monkey wanting to take a close shot of it, and when it make noises I follow it making the same noise after awhile the monkey get angry and chase me wanting to bite me, gave me a scare because I thought they don't bite.

Later mum bought fishes for cousin to set it off

I wanted to go up there but then... no one want to accompany me up. There is a cave inside I think, very high up.

He is eating the female monkey leftover, eww.

Hahaha look behind me at the person holding a stick, she is scare~

Sticks are available for rent to prevent money from getting near to you if you are scare.

There are also crocodile there

One of my uncle disturbing the small crocodile use the stick, he's the uncle that went to stay in Laos with his wife.

Sun Wu Kong?

Their Hua Hou Shan(Home)

We left at 6pm because when it is 6pm all the monkey slowly disappear by going back home.

Later Uncle drove us around and to this Chinese Village, all the house around there are in Chinese style and Chinese word. They even have a Chinese School build there, lesson are held at night.

How lucky am I? Morning I feel like eating porridge and I saw it here, so I bought a bowl. P.S I bought the sausage ala carte from other stall and add it in, haha.

My sister said this is Taiwanese style teacher, and we walked pass them and heard them speaking another language, maybe they are really from Taiwan.

Check out all these snacks that we bought from the stall there, all these doesn't even cost up to $1sgd and they have more flavour of lays compared to Singapore.

Check out tomorrow post as I will be heading to Chiang Mai ^^

Day 7 - Chiang Rai & Laos

2011-11-14T20:33:00.000+08:00

Here I am today at Laos, I reach there by boat to visit one of my relative whom move there to stay with his wife. Do you know that Laos had been sold to China for 99 years?

Hmmm, what are theses?

Reptiles Whiskey

Foreigner can enter a small part of Laos without VISA but sadly I can't visit my relative house because I need to travel quite a distance to apply for VISA. If you people want to buy fake branded goods Laos is the place you should visit, many branded labels are there from China.

Familiar picture right? I had it in my post few days back.

Laos Casino

This shopping center is huge, and never turn on the lights until we enter I think they want to save energy. They sell everything you need, from house hold appliance to toiletries to electrical product and skin care, food and even more, all are selling at a very cheap price product are from China too.

This is beside the Casino, if I'm not wrong this should be a hotel.

A bear that is trapped in a cage.

Come here of course must take picture with the flag right, so that you all know that I have been to Laos haha!

Rivers are an important means of transport in Laos.

Messy hair during boat ride

Had ice-cream again after lunch, this is Yam and Coconut flavour.

What is the Golden Triangle?

Many years ago The Golden Triangle is a place to grow opium, now it help Burma, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand to stay connect with each other by the river.

This stairs is to Wat Phra That Pu Khao Temple

Located on a hill near the Mae Khong River, it is centred by a mondop surrounded by 5 small satellite chedis at the back of viharn. This time I did not climb up, this time we went up by car.

These structures are enclosed by double boundary walls with a staircase on each side except for the double boundary walls with a staircase on each side except for the western wall.

Opium Museum, I accidentally walk in with my mum and my sister were asked to pay for the entrance fee so we came out. I can say Hall of Opium is much more better than this museum as it is there is more interactive things in there.

Saw this stall yesterday and did not bothered but today we went to patronize the stall

Somehow look alike to our Roti prata so decided to give it a try.

This taste much more sweeter than ours

Look at the dustbin, we bought 10 over roti and made the person so busyyyy.

Day 6 - Chiang Rai

2011-11-13T19:52:00.000+08:00

Today visit the most unique and one of it's most elegant temple in Chiang Rai

Wat Rong Khun Temple(White Temple)

The temple is design by a very famous fine art painter in Thailand, he volunteered his services of the temple all at his own expense as an offering to Loard Buddha.

The temple does not promise visitors reincarnation or a better life, instead it aims to provide them good feelings while walking around the magnificent grounds.

He manage to accumulate 30 million baht by the sales of this paintings for construction of the temple.

Million piece of mirrored glass are used to decorate the outside of the temple. If you were to go in the temple you can see modern image inside.

The temple it self will have 9 buildings, this is one of the building. Guess what? This whole building is a toilet.

Flying fish on the left

and Tortoise on the right guarding the toilet

A card of me to keep as souvenirs.

There is a gallery that shows all his art but they are not for sales, if interested you can purchase his drawing in a note book form, magnet, or t-shirts etc.

At night had buffet at our house near by, only 1400 bath for near to 20pax means it cost $5+ per person. So freaking cheap right?

Day 5 - Chiang Rai

2011-11-12T22:44:00.000+08:00

Slept at Wanliya Resort last night, they offer private room and bungalows which can stay up to 6 person as normal hotel only can stay up to 3 person. Most important thing is there is free Wi-Fi!!!

Swimming pool with shelter

The restaurant in the resort that I had my breakfast in

Furniture

and Decorations

By IREKS Bakery

Heavenly delicious bread infuse with chocolate and nuts

There are also benches outside the room

What is this?

A car

I spot a toy car in the resort.

Wanliya Resort is located at

479 Moo 10 T.Weangpangkham

A.Maesai Chiangrai 57130

For more information visit their website at wanliyaresortth.com

Visit the Hall of Opium after having breakfast, too bad photography is not allowed inside.

Hall of Opium exhibits the history of opium around the world and in the area, the process of production, the effects of opium smoking and campaigns to eradicate and substitute the crop. There's even a tiny opium plantation inside! The Hall describes itself as "edutainment" From Wikipedia. To me it is a fun learning experience in there, don't worry if you don't understand Thai there is also English language explanation inside!

After learning we went to an restaurant to have our lunch, the food there is delicious but did not have the chance to capture any photograph to show you all before eating.

Opposite view is Laos Casino

Futher up here is a port for boat to stop by from China to delivery goods to sell in Thailand, but after some incident happen here they stop boat from coming in since last month on October 2011.

Buddha statue next to the Mekong river

The Golden Triangle map

This should be another Casino in Laos

Day 4 - Chiang Rai

2011-11-11T21:00:00.000+08:00

Went over to mum friend's resort this morning for a visit but we end up staying there for 2 night. I think previously it was a bakery over there.

Resort provision shop, have almost everything you need.

Later we went to have buffet, sadly the food doesn't suits my taste because almost everything is vegetable and I don't know how to eat.

Mum doing salad at one of the buffet booth

Desert section

The ingredients I picked for my desert

At night we went for Loy Katong event at the place where people have their identity card done. PS.Forget the road name. The festival is held every full moon of the 12th Thai month. Read more about Loy Katong on Wikipedia

Picture below is some of the vehicles and beauty representing their village for vehicle contest.

This vehicle is sponsored by my mum friend

Picture below is ladies from beauty contest most of them age 15 to 17.

Love the sausage sell by this kind of stall, delicious~

Using a pot to fried it

This is fry quilt egg, thumbs up for it!!!

After the event has end we went to a nearby river to buy some katong and let it float off the river.

Loi literally means 'to float,' while krathong refers to the lotus-shaped receptacle which can float on the water. Originally, the krathong was made of banana leaves or the layers of the trunk of a banana tree or a spider lily plant. A krathong contains food, betel nuts, flowers, joss sticks, candle and coins. Modern krathongs are more often made of bread or styrofoam. A bread krathong will disintegrate in a few a days and be eaten by fish and other animals. The traditional banana stalk krathongs are also biodegradable, but styrofoam krathongs are frowned on, since they are polluting and may take years to disappear. Regardless of the composition, a krathong will be decorated with elaborately-folded banana leaves, flowers, candles and incense sticks. A low value coin is sometimes included as an offering to the river spirits. During the night of the full moon, Thais will float their krathong on a river, canal or a pond lake. The festival is believed to originate in an ancient practice of paying respect to the spirit of the waters. Today it is simply a time to have fun. From Wikipedia

Day 3 - Chiang Rai

2011-11-10T20:41:00.000+08:00

Day 3, woke up late so did not visit many place.

My grandfather in Thailand is buried some where around here.

Those two photo are taken by my dad because I was still at home sleeping as they went out very early. We stay in a village so there is only water from well but we bought a water heater from Singapore to bring over there and fix it at our home ^^ clever right?

This Buddha is handmade using bamboo.

At night we bought a lot of fire crackers and sky lantern to play after having dinner.

This might be a short post but stay tune for tomorrow post, tomorrow is Loy Katong festival.

View of Chiang Rai from the top on the temple

Pardon me for not putting make-up

We left the temple after awhile as it is very windy up there until the leaves is flying around, it looks like it is going to rain so we left quickly. While on our way down the wind decreases.

Later we went to pack food back home to eat and I saw this man selling crispy pancake and I decided to try one

We can choose the ingredients and topping of what we like and what is available there.

Mine is the white one with everything milky, we can also choose the wrapping paper.

Her's is chocolate and some floss plus other topping, both of us choose shin chan.

Along the road we saw this, they are preparing for the Loy Katong festival that will be held two days later.

Red bean dessert after our dinner, we bought many different kind of dessert because they all look delicious but can't finish all.

This is the sky lantern we bought a lot of them and set them up at night.

We also pass by this temple, this is one of the famous tourist attraction in Chiang Rai.

This is also the part of the temple. We were there at night so it was close and did not have a chance to take a tour inside but I'm sure that I will be back. Stay tune!

It is so quiet this October on my blog and I lost 1000+ reader in just a month, that was a lot but I will try my best to build it back. You all might wonder why am I not on .com already, it is not that I do not have money to pay for a domain name is just that I already paid and bought the domain name but it still did not link to my blogger because of some dns setting and I am lazy to set it so I lose mood the mode for blogging without the .com but fret not, today I will replace what I did not blog for this month by blogging about 4 topic.

Kusu Island - 8 October 2011

If you have been following my blog for a year you should know I have been to Kusu Island last year, but when you go there you need to be there for three consecutive year as there is a reason behind it but I don't know why and what is the reason.

This year I prepare a lot of coins there, not to buy food to feed the tortoise like the child do I bring coins to throw on the turtle and some wishing bell for luck.

Datok kong is the most famous malay temple there for people who love to gamble and want to huat ah.

Me and mom on our way up the temple, must climb quite a distance to reach the top.

All the number written on the rocks, this year I spend more than last year inside the temple. For every stop I visit to pray I will put a note inside.

Here is the link for the post where I visited Kusu Island last year, http://xiangtingk.blogspot.com/2010/10/kusu-island.html

KBOX - 15 October 2011

This day I went kbox alone, so recorded a music that I sang to share with you all.

We went to Kbox for singing and buffet. I love the salmon there because is it cheap, only $3 for a thick slice of salmon!! If got chance next time I will take a photo of it and show you all how thick is it. But one person is only entitled to a $6 coupon so I only eaten 2 slice.

This link http://xiangtingk.blogspot.com/2011/07/hakubi-white-c.html will lead you to the Hakubi contest that I join.

Fright Night - 29 October 2011

I went to Universal Studio for the Halloween event with WenTing, did not take much photo because we reach there quite late and were rushing for time but we still mange to finish exploring the two huanted house and played a ride :P

Overall it was still a fun and funny night, really not very scary.

A Sakae Affair

2011-08-06T20:07:00.001+08:00

Met up with Gracia at Cathay Cineleisure yesterday, it was my first outing with her. We catch the movie "Fist of Dragon". There isn't much story about this movie but the moral of this movie is to teach people to be "UNITED". Nothing is impossible and undone if you're united. I love the fighting scene, so exciting! haha

Below is the trailer of the movie:

After the movie we headed to SCAPE Building for our lunch, on our way there we met someone godly~

I had my fortune told by her from tarot reading, it is really accurate. Definitely worth trying!

She is reachable at venuswang@live.com

35 KIM YAM ROAD

Our lunch is at Sakae Sushi~ we had the buffet lunch, this is also my first time having buffet at Sakae Sushi because normally I order them individually. Let me share with you some tips about food at Sakae Sushi

My first time eating raw salmon feels so ohmygod! Not disgusting at all, it has a smooth texture.

Sakae Sushi's use fresh Norwegian Salmon and are air flown to Singapore daily. The health benefits of salmon are:

High in Omega 3

Improve Brain Function
Prevents High Blood Pressure
Reduces High Cholesterol
Prevent Obesity

Good source of many vitamins and minerals

Drinking Green tea is good, I always order them when it's available and can be found around me. It is antioxidants and with regular drinking it can brings you good health.

These are the benefits if you drink them regularly:

It can lower the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and stoke.
Helps to improve / enhance memory and learning ability.
Has fat burning properties and promote weight lost.
Protect skin from UV ray and improve skin elastic tissues.
You will have lower cholesterol level than those who do not drink it.
Green tea also has anti-diabetic properties.
Green tea may protect against heart disease, it promote cardio protection and reduce heart muscle cell death after a heart attack.
Green tea lower blood pressure an helps prevent hypertension.
Green tea shows promise in the prevention of stoke.
May reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
Green tea also appear to prevent the formation of blood clots.
Source of energy, drinking green tea will increases your exercise endurance.
May protect smokers from oxidative damages and reduce cancer risk or other diseases.
Green tea may increase bone mineral density which prevent osteoporosis and bone loss.
Green tea prevents tooth decay. It kills the bacteria that cause dental plaques, bad breath and increases the acid resistance of tooth enamel.
Green tea may help people with arthritis by reducing inflammation and slowing cartilage breakdown.
It has bacterial destroying abilities and can help preventing food poisoning.
Green tea appears to support healthy liver and protect it from the damage by toxic substances such as alcohol.

Only if you drink them regularly! ;)

Messaging with bb sharing about my tarot reading result ^^

I took this sushi from the belt because I like the "food" on top don't know what is it so gave it a try, this was the spiciest sushi I ever tasted on this day.

Rice Vinegar is use to make sushi, it is not just for flavour. Benefits of vinegar go beyond adding flavour to your food and sushi rice wouldn't have existed if there is no vinegar.

Benefit benefit~

Keep blood pressure low
Reduces fatigue
Improves appetite and digestion
Increases body metabolism
Enhances beauty and anti-aging
Acts as a natural antibiotic
Maintain good health

On phone with bb ♥

That empty white long plate is Chicken Katsu Cheese, my all time favourite at Sakae Sushi.

This is how much we ate, Gracie ate so much of that raw octopus ohmyggggod~

After eating we went to the nearest lan shop for gaming, we played audition for 2 hours.

Before I went home I got a new loot for myself, it is a cute cute hello kitty mini phone portable charger ^^

Love bb ♥

Today I explored a amazing place "Chinatown". You all should know where is it right? haha It is rare for me to go there for a walk and especially a hot weather like today. My main purpose to go there is to the Heritage Centre to know more about Chinatown history.

When I reach there I saw this temple and I'm feeling curious so I went in to take a look.

Alaca Vidyaraja, guardian deity for person born in the year of rooster.

I weren't meant to dress like that, just that I'm wearing a skirt and a sleeveless top so I have to borrow their clothing to cover myself up, this is a kind of respect.

After the temple, here we are to the Chinatown Heritage Centre is located at Pagoda street.

It is a 3 storey museum, at there I studied about how people live in Chinatown during the past and many kind of history. Gonna share with you something I read that is interesting "During the past women drink snake blood to achieve beautiful skin." This is cool, anyone know place that sell reptile soup? I feel like giving it a try.

So sorry that I do not have any photo taken in the museum because photo taking are not allowed inside.

But I got something to share, again ^^ it's FOOD! We had our lunch at the Heritage Restaurant.

After trying many kind of their signature cocktail Strawberry Sangria is still my favourite.

How I wish I had a house, at the back of it there's my own personal swimming pool so I can swim whenever I want and when I'm stress I can sit at the side of the pool to relax and have my drinks. How wonderful is it. Only if I wish.

We had a tour in their kitchen, their store is kept in the temperature of 0Celsius to -4Celsius to maintain the freshness of the ingredients.

After the tour all of us got a chance to do hands-on, each of us did a pizza our own using the Classic Hand Tossed Curst and I choose the most classic Hawaiian Paradise topping. It was a very fun and interesting experience.

World Largest Bird Paradise

2011-07-07T14:20:00.000+08:00

I visited the Jurong Bird Park yesterday together with Maoqi. The last time I been there is like when I'm in Primary school?

With 5,000 birds across 380 species, Jurong Bird Park is one of the world best in the conservation and display of birds in its natural settings.

Parrots

Flamingo

This is a Wetland bird, I don't know the species

Bird from the Riverine, I like the brown bird ^^ looks cute

Ostrich, Dinosaur Descendants

Do you know it takes at least 30 minute to boil an ostrich egg?

Snowy Owl

Interesting facts about owl:

Owls have good vision in the day and their eyesight is excellent at night.
Owls have the best hearing of all birds.
Owls cannot move their eyes from side to side but they can turn their heads three quarters of the way around.

After all the walk we went to the Songbird Terrace to have a Lunch with the Parrots

I actually got scare by a Crowned Pigeons, I wanted to take a photo with it and it flaps its wings and I went screaming away.

I realize we never been to the one of the star attractions "African Waterfall Aviary" it has over 1,500 free flying birds with 30 meter waterfall as a backdrop. How can we miss it?!

Around noon we left Jurong Bird Park to Choa Chu Kang KBox

Hi all, I just woke up I'm so tired I cry sleep then cry went back to sleep wake up and cried again.

I still haven't get sick of it but my eyelid is heavy and swollen now and it hurts maybe I should just stop crying for awhile first.

I came online to blog about my yesterday trip, will be going back to sleep after this.

Went to Hard Rock Cafe for dinner with Jazreel and after awhile Karen came to join us.

I've got a music video below, especially made for someone.

He doesn't love me anymore it really made my heart ache, his heart is with another person but fuck it I can be by my own I'm born to be independent. Without his love I won't be incomplete, but I'll still wait for him.

Hard Rock Cafe Singapore

HPL House Singapore 249724

Telephone: +65-62355232

I ordered Potato Skin for the starter, Macaroni with Grilled Chicken and Cheese for entree and Jazreel ordered Salmon Steak.

Siva pop up and treat us this brownie. I love the macadamia nuts inside the brownie.

After dinner at Hard rock Cafe we headed to Boat Quay to drink and then to MBK.

Sunday 5 June 2011

First time trying out dark brown eyeliner because black was sold out, angry!!!

She made a lot of you haggard,
You are willing to wait patiently and do anything for her.

I want to know what she makes you silly,
I want to know why she makes you crazy,
I want to know where she was much better than me.

I know I paid more than than her but I can not change your heart.

She and I were in your heart,
What is the difference?

Your every move my heart was carried away,
But I'm not in your heart more than her.

I think of you everyday and night but you think of her.
I felt so sad, I want to back out and stop contacting you but I always fail to do that.

I have been crying for you, I felt so stupid myself because your heart is with her and not me :'(
I even wish that we could start all over again, how navie am I.

But is it possible?

So much of the random

2011-06-02T00:39:00.000+08:00

I'm coming online to update! I will blog about a lot of random stuffs today if not you all come to visit my blog keep seeing the same front post also will feel bored one right? Did you know that around 2pm at Orchard the sky was dark as if it was 7pm, the weather really gave me a scare.

Today I went home and saw this big box. Is not really big but I want to call it a BIG BOX!

These are the clothes that I ordered last month and today they have finally arrive.

So happy to see them, I love the pink bodycon dress and that leopard print cardigan and the black mini dress and the half demin leather short I think I love all of them, and my sister gave me a blue dress too but I don't have the picture here. All the quality are good expect that white top(3rd one counting from your left), I think the quality is so-so only? Because I don't really like that kind of material. If you can see it is a chiffon like material.

I've just ordered another 10 sets of clothes that might be arriving around next month? I bought in some clothes for you all too, do check back! ^^ They are just like me So Petite. Do drop me a comment on what kind of clothing are you into and there's a chance that I might be bringing in.

P.S Is 10 sets of 3 which means there will be 30 over clothing!!!

I bought this a couple of days ago, this is the new Anlene concentrate milk. It is so concentrated that one small packet of milk is equal to 4 glasses of milk and now it comes with collagen, middle age and above women will sure love it.

This year have been eating a lot of instant noodles. Why? Because I'm broke, especially during March when working at Jean Yip Vivo I eat them almost everyday. And I just ate them just now. I remember last time if I eat my dad confirm will scold one because I always add a lot of seasoning and I don't know how to cook so I also add a lot of water, but now I'm eating so much of them and no one bothers. Say broke I also not really broke, I still keep thinking that I have a lot of money when I don't have, I don't know what's wrong with my mind. I don't even feel like working now, I'm so tired I need some rest.

31 May 2011

Maoqi help me to collect my contact lenses and bring it to my house then wait for me to finish preparing and we set off to Singapore EXPO, by the time I finish preparing it starts raining already. It was very rare that I did not apply make up, my look for the day is the first picture on the post, not really clear but still able to view.

Bought theses cocktail, from Foodfair 2011 is not really "cocktail" is an non-alcoholic drink.

I like the Apple + Passion fruit flavour.

This day is the first time I ever tasted Smelly Tofu but I think it is not smelly at all.

After the Foodfair we went to John little sales and then Maoqi went to attend her CCA so I went home.

When I reach home I went online to order movie ticket and we caught a movie after her CCA has ended. We watched Kungfu Panda 2, I never watch the 1st part before hope I'll have the chance to watch it.

30 May 2011

Was asked to buy this Xndo food few week ago by a promoter, the day I bought was when it just came to store and just nice it caught my eye so I decided to buy it. And till today I finally tried it.

Thai Style Mango Fish with Rice

This is when I unpack the food into the bowl, the serving is very small only. When I break the seal I can already smell the curry fish.

After I warm it up using the microwave, still very little but then it can really fill up the stomach and it doesn't taste bad.

Bought all these chocolate, some never open, some eat halfway then kept them in the fridge. There's one more that I bought from Cocca Tree, the packaging is Hello Kitty it is very cute, will show it to you all the next time ^^

People have been commenting on me

"You so beautiful, confirm no boyfriend?" "Study also don't want, work also don't want, go and find a guy married off better." "Everytime waste money eat expensive stuffs."

2011-05-25T02:03:00.000+08:00

First stop for today is Marina Bowl, met Maoqi and we went to play bowling I also broke my nails while playing. While waiting for her I bought a tin of lollipop, the packaging is Hello Kitty so cute! After bowling we took a stroll to Singapore flyer and I took some very hilarious video must watch ok!

This is the 3rd time I sat on Singapore Flyer and I think many changes has been made there like new shopping places, entertainment and dining.

It was a last minute plan to take the Singapore Flyer flight, after buying the ticket we went to Kenko for Fish Spa which I've been waiting for weeks. Is is a fish therapy where Garra Rufa fish exfoliate your feet dead skin as well as massage and it gives you stress relieving.

Went to have our dinner after the flyer ride, I love the ancient feel. It is located at 1st floor #01-09/12 it is called Singapore Food Trail the dining concept sets to bring out the nostalgia and charm of the 1960s.

All these antique are for sales.

Universal Studio Singapore

2011-05-14T22:51:00.000+08:00

Went to Universal Studio Singapore on 10 May 2011 with Jazreel and Teckchye, it was a very last minute outing.

They have a promotion going on which is 20% off weekday tickets (Valid until 27 May 2011)

This is taken at Far Far Away before the 4D Shrek show started, the show was fun and interesting.

At the end of the day I bought a Jurassic Park T-Shirt, I love the cutting that's why I bought it. But friends don't think that I will wear it haha. I would visit there again, there's still one more ride that is not open and I hope it will be done when I'm there the next time.

The world tallest dueling roller coaster located at Sci-Fi City in Universal Studio Singapore

Battlestar Galactica Cyclon - Blue track

A suspended roller coaster which turn 360 degree thrice vertically, on the 3rd round you will feel cooling effect on your legs as it passes by a mist of smoke. Shiok!

Battlestar Galactica Human - Red track

Seated roller coaster that zooms at 90km/h and propels you fourteen storeys.

I personally prefer the blue one because it is more trilling. The red one made my body ache because there's a great force pushing you forward. Overall I still love the ride, I played it a lot of times until I've lost count of it!

This is the video is about the making of movie by Visual effect.

Ahh~ Frizzy hair + no make up + wearing spectacle + retainer

I bought a Limited edition bag from www.bags.com.sg because it was sold out all over Singapore.

Delivery was by register postage and it was fast, they mail it out on 12 May 2011 noon and I receive it on 13 May 2011 morning.

Their website is doing pre-order. If you're searching for Longchamp Arbre de Vie, Galeries Lafayette, LM Metal, Victorie & Eiffel Tower Bags you do not have to wait too long because they have it in stock!
