Istana Open House

Written at Wednesday, October 26, 2011 | back to top

yay, decided to visit the Istana as its Deepavali, a public holiday. if i'm not wrong, Istana Open House is only on the last Friday of every month and on a public holiday.

since its a non-working day, we shall go there to see see look look especially when i have been living in Singapore for 22 over years, and i have been the before.

meet at Plaza Singapura first, but the weather almost spoilt our plan. it rained heavily all of a sudden, but luckily it stopped eventually.

at PS waiting for the rest

yeahhh! rain stopped, time to queue up and move in. one line each for both Singaporeans and Foreigners, and local people of course got the express lane. flash your pink IC for immediate access lol. but then, we still got stuck at the bag scanning part.

the place is like a mini botanic garden. its a long walk towards those booth area, there's a mini bird area from the Jurong Bird Park, we were down there for quite sometimes before the rain came attacking us again. yes, this time round, we were in the middle of nowhere, but under 2 booths only.

welcome to Istana

on the queue....

yes, it rained all of a sudden again

ponchos all up!

rain stopped finally.
at the big green field

colour vs black and white

at the fountain area

wow the big house
and we didn't go in at all =(

anyway, we continued to walk around the place, nothing much actually. spammed photos, of course!

nice reflection huh!

KEEP OFF THE POND!

Edmund and me love to photobomb ourselves

Edmund, me and Moo...

swans in the lake =)

last picture.
time to leave!!

Edmund and me have the most dirtiest feet after walking the muddy grass for so long. thanks to us to be the only two wearing slippers. both of us kept complaining when each steps we took, the feets would be covered with mud lol. how disgusting can you imagine!~

anyway, walked out of the place, back to Plaza Singapura. while walking back, there's a booth selling Singapore umbrellas, Ginnette and me each bought one. haha. it's so cute, in red and white with Singapore flag. patriotic huh! hahaha.

and yea, my slipper snapped half way, so i went to randomly bought a pair of slipper for myself. choose the most cheapest one, at $5 only haha. and then, dinner at Long John Silver tho..

Drink drink @ Hard Rock Cafe

Written at Tuesday, October 25, 2011 | back to top

a very impromptu drink drink session after work. it all hapened inside twitter conversation, haha long story though, but it happened pretty fast. 4pm plus then we decided to meet out after work for a drink :)

initially, we wanted to go Wavehouse @ Sentosa. but it rained all of a suuden, spoiling all our plan, no point going there since it's an open kind of bar place, all seats would be wet due to the rain. but still, we went into Sentosa, paying the $1 entrance fee, and have our drink drink session at Hard Rock Cafe instead.

Hard Rock Cafe

YAY!!!

our ordered drinks

my Fruitapalooza.
SWEET LIKE MAD =/

we ordered Nacho Cheese to share too

while Audrey went off to fetch Daphne

and it was around 9pm plus then Daphne decided to come join us as well. it took her close to 10pm to reach, pretty fast huh. good thing she lived at Delta area only, quite near though.

and talked about my drink, it was so super sweet, i wondered did they just replace the alcohol with syrup instead? i'm here to get high, not to come here to increase my sugar level. lol. i totally don't taste any alcohol taste at all, and that glass costed me $14++ arghhh.

all with the drinks =D

one last picture before we left the place.

walked out of RWS closed to 11.30pm, and we have to walk out, walk through the Sentosa Boardwalk, walk pass Vivo City. and Ting Yu has to rush to take her last train back to Pasir Ris. luckily she managed to catch the last one at Outram Station.

while GInnette and me followed Moo take cab, as his cab towards Bukit Panjang just nice will passby our house. haha. anyway it was just a short 5 mins ride for me =D

Ting Yu 21st Birthday @ Hard Rock Hotel

Written at Sunday, October 16, 2011 | back to top

and yea, continued from last night. after my one entire night partying at Rebel and Zirca, i went out with my mother until 12pm, came back home, washed up and then went to sleep.

i remembered clearly i set my alarm clock at 2pm, but i snoozed and snoozed my alarm till 5.20pm. woke up in a shock because i set the meeting time at 5.30pm at Vivo City, with Audrey, Edmund and Moo. yes. supposed to meet 5.30pm, and then walked over to Sentosa at 6pm to attend Ting Yu's 21st birthday party.

anyway, i rushed and chionged and bathe and changed and flew down to Vivo. luckily i lived near to Vivo, it's like 99% of the buses at the bus stop bring me to Vivo. any bus come, i just board :)
i managed to reach at around 6pm =) yea walked over to Sentosa through Sentosa Boardwalk, and then hunt our way for Hard Rock Hotel.

Venue: Hard Rock Hotel at RWS
Time: 6.30pm onwards
Theme: Rockstar

Ting Yu sms me her room and floor number
which was totally wrong =/

and we according to Ting Yu's sms, we went up to level 3, hunting for that room 635. and ya, there's no such room as 635 exist at all. so we went back down to level 1, and then don't know how come we ended up going to level 6, then level 2 then level 3 again =/

so i gave Ting Yu a call, and she told me is LEVEL 6 ROOM 365!!! omg!! she gave us the wrong information lol. how can you forgot her own room level and number hahahaha

we managed to find her room because of.......

this wooden thingy that we gave her last week =) haha

pictures spammed with Ting Yu

well, Ting Yu can't stuck with us forever, she also needs to attend to her other VIP Guests though. so we were left alone, playing with camera since we have nothing to do. just spammed pictures like crazy

i think the most pictures spammed was at the room's bathroom. we were like wow-ing at it the moment we stepped inside. the bathroom was so huge, there's bathtub as well, there's toilet bowl inside it's own cubicle, etc. to conclude, the bathroom was the best place to spend our time with, rather than outside.. i see you, you see me that kind of awkward situation. furthermore, i don't know the rest of her friends =X hahaha

still hanging around near the door entrance

dramatic sia. decided to bring drama to life.
-paparazzi SHOO SHOO-

hahaha. and now here comes the damn awesome bathroom inside the room.

finally, it's time to cut cake loh. got force to leave the bathroom, out to the hall and gathered around with all other friends. sing song, make wish, cut cake, EAT EAT EAT..

hahaha. and one of Ting Yu's friend actually guess my age as 18!!! hahaha. so yay, and Ting Yu was like "HUH, i looked older than her?!"
