Sentosa Part Three!









We went Desperados. It is all about riding on horses and shooting our enemies. Many kids were our competitors. Every time we hit a target, we will score some points and our guns will vibrate.










The moment we reached, it is time to go in!
We insisted taking photos so did a quick one. :P

There are 4 stages and my arms ache from the holding the heavy gun. HAHA. The most sad thing is, i cant hit the target! :(cant seem to aim properly! I got 67 points and simba got 116 points! The system captured a photo of simba and featured him. Yeah, cos he got second! The winner is an uncle with 118 points.

They must have secretly trained in the arcade for the longest time.








Next, we went for the LUGE and SKYRIDE.



















Simba with the helmet. So cute! we queued all the way to the front only to find out that we need to exchange our cards for the tickets.





















We went back to the counter and queued again. That's a super long queue by then. Unlucky us!

Simba loves red so i took the blue helmet :P
















You are only allowed to ride alone if you are taller than this!
















while choosing our photos after the ride.












We bought this super funny photo. There is only one photo with us in it. Cos i was too slow hahahahahas. The camera could best capture this shot when we passed by. Saw the big gap between us? Simba kept turning back to encourage me to go faster but i was so scared.

He almost banged into the signboard and head straight into the bushes. So reckless.
Yeah, he gave up asking me to go faster so he stopped and waited for me. On our way, he saw an ang moh climbing back into track. Guess he travelled too fast and steered out of control in the winding path.












Our sky ride. It is so fun! The LUGE is just too scary for me. HAHAHAHAHA.



















We long prepared to have our photo taken at Tower 2, so we kept posing until the camera captured our photo. We bought this photo too.































He looked so silly. LOL.

























Outside the merlion.


















I was trying to speak into the flower. But seemed to have failed.





































He was preparing for the water to come and that i can take a shot of him blocking that water.


















Here it goes!





















He said i must try this. He LOL once the photo was taken.
Yeah i did many weird stuff that simba asked me to do. So didnt post them here. :P TOO BAD SIMBA!












When we checked a certain checkpoint in the LUGE, the lady will stamp this on our hands.
Guys do have more green lines on their hands! If u guess the bigger hand is mine, u are in for a big scolding!












By 5pm, i was really hungry.

We took a walk by the beach, trying to find the restaurant simba searched online.
I like this photo! Blend in with the background hor.









Artistic right! i asked simba to draw circles. The bright bright sun was so scorching. I knew i will become darker darker.
























After much walk and navigation, we are finally here!

We are here at the sand bar i think.

It is beside the bikini bar where the waitress wears only bikinis and shorts. ;0


After ordering at the counter, u will have to slot your flag into the can. The waiter will come with your food.














Our weird drink. Some strawberry soothie.

Simba said we cant drink beer or wine or we will be drunk driving later. (Cos we are going for our next ride, the eco beach adventure!)












I tried "Justin's favourite curry". It is served with bread instead or rice. Nice! But got a little stomachache after tt. hahas.
















Covering my vampire teeth when i smiled. Charlotte said i should just smile mildly, not hugely showing my teeth. She had this problem of being a vampire as well. So she thinks smiling without showing the teeth is better. See i took people's advice LOL





































By the beach on the beach bench enjoying beach food.

















Simba's fish and chips are the best in the beach!They are soft, big and perfect.
He wanted to order pork ribs but they cost $26!






























We went for our eco beach adventure ride.
Simba is riding on an invisible two wheeled
scooter. So cute, i think he always quickly think of poses to pose for the camera. So sportaneous and camera friendly. Love it! Gotta take 1 thousand photos in taipei!












All armed for the ride. Helmet checked, knee guards checked, elbow guards checked!


















The training session. U have to lean forward to move forward, lean backwards to move back. Steer left and right using full force.
I was quite scared while queuing for the training. Imagine everyone learn very fast, except me. Luckily, the instructor was nice and it wasnt as hard as i thought.







































CUTE















You can rent bicycles too. 50% off for students! They checked each bicycle before renting it to u. So pro right. If u go east coast and bishan parks, they just let u pick your bikes and take your ICs and charge u.





















Simba's idea. I thought i look like ninja turtle i dunno why.




































The expert bikers. LOL























Trying hard to act cool.

























Our vehicles.















We followed the instructor to the beach. So cool. Travelling on the road was a fun ride. i hit the kerb of a narrow path while turning and as simba wished to watch out for me and tailgated me, he banged straight into me. HAHAHAHAHAHA. I was shouting and wailing.


It was getting so bumpy on the sand. i nearly fell when my grip isnt too strong. Not enough energy to get the wheels moving.









Simba is a daredevil. He kept making strong turns and taking photos! I was so worried that the camera may just be thrown out of control. He was so enjoying it and laughing at my scaredly-catness. Mei li mao.











we had 5 mins of free time roaming around so i stopped to take some photos of simba.

















































































Just like a kid. Is he 24 or just 16?


























He showed his mum the photos and was suan for wearing like a country pumpkin, especially wearing sandals.

















































Simba also took videos of me barging at him and of himself riding with only one hand. I think he doesnt know how to spell humble.



















Nice! I love the background.
































































Then coffee at Coffee bean. Simba insisted not having coffee as it was unhealthy. I almost couldnt have coffee too due to his strict diet. But i had hazelnut ice coffee in the end, my favourite! Love it. Ordered vanilla + orange juice (Sunrise) drink for him. See the whipped cream? Yeahs, they are only present if i order. Simba thinks they are fattening and unhealthy. Maybe people who exercise alot love being in a healthy diet too.















Look at my eye bags! So scary.




















It was a function from the camera to make people look orangey.

Nice right. i looked so tanned.
I am loving the whipped cream. Must take off the cover and scooped them up.








After coffeeing, i suggested to simba that we could watch "KILLERS" at vivocity and then end our day. He said he wished to stay in sentosa. Felt sth fishy as he doesnt usually have strong opinions on where to go. until he flashed me this 'Songs of the Sea' tickets. 8 40 pm show. We were ahead of time. Simba was very afraid that we may miss the show since that morning. He kept hurrying me to walk faster and asking for the time. His schedule planning was great. Maybe becos of army? We have some spare time strolling in sentosa.










Siloso beach has changed so much ever since i last went. Many many sun tanning 'beds' were set up. And there added ang mohs :P



















I love this cafe. It was fun and wild in the noon with people suntanning and drinking casual beers. And people in their swim wear dancing to the music at night.



















the fire was so warming. We saw a boy trying hard to extinguish the fire. So naughty! He kept throwing sand at it. Smart hor, i dont remember myself being so smart when i was little.



















We saw the fireworks and lights made the the Song of the Sea show at 7 40pm.






































































Song of the SEA!
I thought its general audience were kids and so it will make its theme child-like. It turned out not to be what i expected. They catered to all ages!



































Love the visual feed.


















Waited for the house to turn purple before simba captured this shot



































The tired simba. Then finally when we were so exhausted and our legs were achy, we took a tram back to vivocity and bought bottle of drinks to drink.












Happy 2 year simba. I have spent the happiest and cutest two years with him. Never once did he lose his temper at me. Never once did he disappoint me or anger me. He is always noble and generous and kind. Thank you simba for being so patient, cute and everything nice.

Decided to do two separate entries on junjie's birthday and miao's + joe's birthday as there were too many photos!

My laptop will take another 1 to 2 mths in the repair shop. The motherboard is spoilt. Seemed like a serious problem.
My Samsung phone cant lock now. Sad. :( Maybe i should trust nokia all along!


Shrek 3 on friday! Love it! The baby ogres are cute! i kept laughing in the first part of the movie where it shows the everyday boring life of Shrek. His babies kept burping and farting. :P



13 more days to taiwan! We haven plan anything yet as last week simba has to prepare for his presentation in his workplace. Me? i went to 3 birthdays! Will start planning from now on~





Saturday.. Simba and i celebrated our post anniversary. hahaha.
Did some shopping! :) I haven buy his present so wanted him to choose for himself :P
Although he hinted me to buy ps3 games for him,he dropped the idea eventually as he thought of selling them after playing all his games. And he didnt want to sell the games i buy.




As he only patronises shops that offer a XS or S shirts and a size 28 to 29 jeans, there are only a few choices available. Yeah, GAP, Topman and River Island. He bought something for me previously and got 2 stamps on the card. Every $85 spent gets a stamp. We decided to spend another $170 to get $15 off the bill.











Me and simba. He is always so tired when shopping. hahahahaha!
















































Angry when i woke him up from sleep.
































So simba and i chose sth each from River Island to complete the card. hahahaha. Then we paid for each other! First time we try that. I chose this dress omg. It costs $117. I took so long to decide the sizes! Decided on 8 eventually! Simba took his revenge by staying in the fitting room very long as well. hahahahaha.






















Jun Jie's 21st! Sorry the photos arent in order. hahahas. i am lazy to arrange it. This is the first time i attend a guy's 21st bday celebration. He had his at their house downstairs. His parents always went there to sing old songs every friday. It is something like a KTV lounge with a living room and some extra rooms.


Yeah, of course a room is reserved for mahjong.









his cake! Junwen's cousins suspected this girl in the picture is jun jie's gf~ LOL. Then junwen and i became the parparazzi. We kept investigating and taking their photos.













They put 21 small candles on the cake and he has to take them out using his mouth one by one.




















The birthday boy! He's wearing the shorts i bought for junwen! Almost killed him.




















The cousin and the neighbour.
They are trained to call girls older than them jie jie. Omg. They call me 'huijin jie jie.' faintz












The neighbours!


















Poly friends













The KTV lounge. As his groups of friends dont know one another, most of them were too shy to sing. hahahas. But the girl rumoured with junjie was so brave! She sings all the way.
The cousins of junwen and junjie!









The letterings were made and hung by junjie's parents. They went downstairs to help out since 10am in the morning. Junwen was at home doing his slides. hahas. He claimed that he helped by directing junjie's friends the way to the lounge if they come to his house instead.













































Me and the Tan family hehe.














The brothers.
One who love to play games and the other loves taiwan dramas!

Simba looks like the younger brother i think!
































































































The brothers and cousins. Doesnt the signboard remind you of IP MAN?





































I captured this photo! Super kay po right!!!
HAHAHA. The cousins said they were very disappointed with junjie for choosing her. But i thought she was quite pretty and nice. :P














You see you see! busy preparing the cake for him. hahaha











The buffet. Junjie has never been a host before and he was the first one to eat the buffet food. LOL.
I'm very touched by the effort junjie's parents put in. Other than ordering the buffet and making the invitation cards and decos, his dad was helping everyone take photos, and his mum was the DJ changing songs for the youngsters and making the atmosphere more lively. No wonder they have two fantastic sons. hahahaha.

Junwen's brother's 21st birthday on sat.

Miao's and joe's birthday celebration on sun.
Photos up later!



I finally handed in my final report and logbook last sat. That thurs i spent the whole day at work correcting my mistakes and printing my report. I submitted the draft twice but Supervisor wasnt satisfied. He wanted me to change how i write the report hahas. So had a really hard time amending it last few weeks. Didnt sleep much. Omg. And that wed and thurs Supervisor looked at my report word by word and retype some mistakes for me. He even helped me type with his great ang moh words and shorten paragraphs (i exceeded the word limit of 5000 by a big margin.)





And under the conclusion and reflection section, he wants me to write more. He said my ntu tutor doesnt understand any bit of bioinformatics, and will get too bored with too much technical stuff i wrote! And so, i wrote so many BHB things in my poor phrasing. HAHAHAHAHA. He said my ang moh so CMI (cannot make it) HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
He got jerry to correct the whole section with him. Super paisehs!



I am pretty unlucky lately.

I haven got my laptop back from the repair centre! I kept calling to ask for its status and the person on the other end of the line asked me to wait for the technician's call! And he didnt call all the while.

My phone went crazy again. The buttons work when they feel like it.



My ntu tutor didnt reply my emails and didnt send my supervisor a very important form. :(
That form is used to access me! I have to keep sending emails to find out how to get the form. The deadline to submit the form is over and my ntu tutor hasnt taken any actions. :( I took great trouble just to finally have it sent to Supervisor. I finally emailed one Professor and said, ".... I'm getting quite worried. The deadline is over..." The conclusion is you need to sound vry upset with the delay of ntu system! My ntu tutor actually lost that impt form. He made a replacement and that explains the delay.






Supervisor graded me on tuesday! He wasnt supposed to let me see the results. He hid it from me. I didnt say i wanna see. But after a while, his heart got too itchy i think, he showed me! HAHAHAHAAHAHA.





The new nus intern replacing me came on that day too.Since the new boy was using my laptop to do some tutorials i had nothing to do. Decided to go to the washroom and cant find my access card. I walked around the office finding the card and justin complained to supervisor that i changed after supervisor graded me. I just kept walking around and slacking. HAHAHAHA.






I 'm leaving in about 10 days' time. Supervisor put a countdown in his Google calender. And on monday he showed me, "U only got 14 days left!" He said he was abit sad that i am leaving. So gan dong.






I think i've got the nicest supervisor.
I am leaving the 3rd most impt man of 5 mths for good.
Thank you supervisor, u r the nicest boss i have ever had. U are patient, caring, kind, forgiving .. :)
Goona buy a G2000 shirt for him before i leave. I bought a $8 thank you card and my heart skipped a beat hahahahaha. xin tong lehs! Simba said i shld buy to show sincerity. haha.




Thank you justin and charlotte for making my attachment so enjoyable! i hate to say goodbye so much..



I'm not very bright but i'm always lucky. This life, i met more good people than bad people. I'm glad to have a nice and humble supervisor who treats me like his fren.



And the new intern is nice too luckily. He reminded me of myself when i first started. Hahahas. Blur blur one! Supervisor gave me an evil laugh before the new intern came. "You teach him huhs!" He gave up his office for both of us and sat in the conference room by himself instead! How nice! :)
