I live a healthier diet. No fast food and no koi! Lol. (SGH doesn't have fast food outlets!) And I have been taking detoxification pills.
My colleague, CS, has been looking at research papers and read about an alternative method of shaving mice's hair. He always uses the shaver but wanted to try the hair removal cream on the mice. But he volunteered me as his guinea pig before he gets to the mice. Lol. Poor me! His reason was because I am the most hairy among them. It's true though. Hence, he used the cotton stick to apply some cream on a small patch of my hand. And after 7 minutes, I have absolutely no hair in the area. Lol!
Hence, I grew ecstatic cos I was going to try it on my moustache since they said I look rugged with moustache. LOL. I thought I look cool. HAHAHA! They laughed hard when I was applying the cream on top of the lip. And again, the moustache was gone!
Then he tried it on one mouse and its hair was removed effortlessly after awhile. It became from a white mouse to a nude one. So cool! Next time I don't have to use the shaver anymore. (I'm a rowdy person and may hurt the mouse using the shaver.)
I have been looking at Groupon and Outlet.com.sg for interesting stuff to do. And Simba and I paid $38 each for admission to Underwater World, Insect and Butterfly Park with free bird feeding, and high tea at Skybar.
So that rainy Sunday afternoon, we went to Sentosa!
It was raining heavily and we had to take shelter in the cave.
Everytime we go to Sentosa, we would often wear lesser clothing than usual since we are doing outdoor activities. But this time, I felt so cold becos of the rain! Thank God I have a cardigan!
I wondered how he always knows what to do with the objects around him to pose for a picture. His expression is so real~ Haha.
This is outside the Hershey's store. Simba was very embarrassed to pose with this since no one else was taking photo with it. Hence in the end I could only take a photo of its own.
Me with the Hersheys ~^^
The merlion looked spoiled.
And after a long walk from the Bayfront monorail station, we finally reached!
Simba didn't want to take a shuttle bus and we walked in the rain with an umbrella. Simba was holding the umbrella and half of me was wet the next few minutes we stepped out into the rain. He accidentally slanted his grip and a few times it hit my head. When I told him that, he laughed and said, "U have too much hair!"
Lol. Never once Simba apologized. :D
We saw a white peacock walking around. Wanted to go near it to take a picture but it was too shy!
After multiple attempts to pose with the peacock, Simba still failed.
It turned its back on him!
A touch pool next to the entrance. Meaning that the visitors are welcomed to touch the stingrays in the pool.
Simba went ahead to touch the different species of stingrays. They seemed very friendly and enjoy the attention they are getting. Lol.
Visitors were warned against taking the stingrays out of the pool.
He kept persuading me to touch one of them but I was too afraid to. I told him I only touch mice, nothing else.
These fishes can be touched too. I wondered if this is good for the psychological health of these fishes. Imagine yourself trapped somewhere for display and giants stretch their hands all the way in to touch you. Omg.
This is FUNNY.
This is a spider crab. :D
A part of this crab lights up when you press the buttons below. For example if u press the button indicting "stomach" the stomach of this crab lights up.
Simba's most favourite fish. It has a sword on its head. It was moving far too fast~
These jellyfishes changes color from time to time. So cool!
Can't get a picture with them since kids are crowding around them.
These smaller jellyfishes look like mushrooms. So cute!
They are of different colours. Some brown, some white, some black, some grey, some orange...
The zebrafish!
I remembered I went a few times to Sentosa with my parents when I was young, and they brought me to Underwater World which brought about the deepest impression in me. I remembered this tunnel with a travellator that brings me to watch sharks and stingrays swim. I remembered smiling to the terrifying stingrays. I loved it!
Somehow it looks like the fish was going to reach me.
Then we played with the different settings of my camera.
This is the monochrome setting. :D Nice since my colour contacts is so obvious haha.
The poster setting. Love it the most. Makes u look like a celebrity. Lol.
Still poster setting. Look at how my face shines! :D
Fish eye setting. Lol. I tried to avoid this but Simba loves this setting. (He likes only ugly things, sadly.) I became his victim.
Fish eye setting. Hahahaha. So cute! So monster-like.
Poster mode. Fishes is our background.
U may think the yellow thing in the tank is a plant but u are wrong. It's a seahorse. :D
And we headed towards the Dolphin Lagoon. I knew I might find Wei Jian, my friend the dolphin trainer there.
Dolphins are so smart. They catch balls and dive gracefully at the sound of the whistle.
Wei Jian came with the sealion! He is really cut out to be a performer. I remembered him being one of the organizers in our previous camps and also our class chairman.
He used to work part-time at a pet shop and his salary is $12 per day. He often helped for about 4 hours but he loves pets so he didn't mind the very low pay.
In this picture, Wei Jian was teaching one of the audience how to massage the sealion when it suddenly jumps out, scaring the poor lady.
Then we had dinner at a pizza place located in Siloso beach. I went there before once and had wine and pizza with Shi Xing and all.
Looking at the youngsters playing volleyball by the sea really made me feel old. It's been a long time since I last went to the beach with friends. Lols. I used to go there with either my secondary school or poly friends, when we were very active. We played ball, cards and swim! The last time I went to the beach was last year Miao's birthday. The reason we went there was because her boyfriend booked a Sentosa resort and got us to surprise her. But instead of playing by the sea, we headed for pizza and wine. LOL! :D
Miniature effect. Only a rectangular part of the screen is clear and the rest of it blurred out. This is good for focusing and emphasizing something.
Mango and lime juices. The lime juice was so sour and I couldn't finish it. But as it was expensive and Simba doesn't waste food, he poured it into his water bottle. Lol.
Guess this effect!
The service is so good. :D
The waitress offered to take a photo of us!
Picture was taken before we entered the Butterfly Park. It was still raining but Simba braved the rain in order for this photo to be taken. Lols.
But but.. We were told to come back when the rain stopped. Butterflies apparently don't come out in the rain.
Last photo outside the Butterfly Park.
We didn't go to the park in the end since the rain didn't seem to stop anytime soon and I really wanted to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 that evening. Been craving for it ever since it first screened.
Made a deal with Simba to come back to the Butterfly Park and also buy admission tickets to watch the Pirates of the Carribean 4D show. And of course, go to the Skybar for high tea!
Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!
I'm looking forward to 2012!
