EDITTED 24/09/07; 2046 with PHOTOS!
Thanks to Sabrina's blog =)
FUN FUN FUN!
OK. Marking day is back! After 1 0r 2 years without it..
It was the VIVO+SENTOSA+ZHONGQIUJIE+85+HWEELI'SHSE day!
It all started with two ultimately bored ppl, not wanting to stay Home Alone during a day which we are supposed to get out of the hse... ...
[HARBOURFRONT]
Supposed to meet at 11pm at HarbourFront MRT Station.
Reached Tampines MRT at abt 10am and saw Adeline.
She was supposed to wait for Leonard, Yuelong and Jie Si to come from the Pasir Ris train.
Well, so I joined her.
~TICK TOCK TICK TOCK ~
10.20am
Still no sign of them.
We got so pekcek but was consoled by the man sitting next to us.
According to adeline, he was sitting there even before she was there.
Waiting for another always-late friend, I guess.
10.40am
They finally came. And jie si couldn't come because of parental objection.
And as we passed Bedok, Mei Ling came in.
And we all noticed something:
We are all wearing white shirt and dark shorts!
It was like, wow.. 5 out of the 10 ppl are already late.
And jiesi SMSed leonard:
"what can i tell my mum to let me come out?"
And i ask leonard to reply:
"tell her tt it's a picnic and everyone is suppsoed to bring something.
you are supposed to bring water, and no one else brings it. so you are veri important"
And we forgot tt her mum wasn't a three-year-old kid.
Then as we transferred onto the northeast line, an auntie approached us and asked us whether got train go Chinatown or not.
We, being acomplished-honourable-servant leaders, gladly walked with her to the NEL.
Along the way she said, "你们也是去牛车水啊？"
Leonard gave tt guai-lan face.
A good deed done! =)
[VIVOCITY]
Lollipops.
Supposed to go to VivoMart (Giant) to search for the others.
And we were befuddled to see the water dispenser and the paper cups.
We were wondering how a paper 'filter funnel' can contain water.
Then someone say because got no hole at the bottom.. .. ?!
(Right: Some Vivo-'icon' found on the rooftop..)
Then continued hunting. The place was so big and tall.
We headed to the candies (sab's fav) and chocolate cookies (guodong's fav) section but couldn't find them.
In the end, it turned out tt leonard didnt read his SMS and tt they already outside and are in the Candy Empire..
Met with the 3 'little miss'es, Meng Jit, Hwee Li and Sabrina; and Guo Dong, who apparently was getting mad over yuelong's lateness.
Randy arrived shortly after.
We then scuttered arnd the mall, trying to find somewhere to settle our lunch.
We chanced upon Play Court, where we (actually, I) behaved like small little kids.
Eventually ate at BK.
Then went to tour the VivoCity Sky Park and went to the Sentosa Express Gateway.
Waited for Aurial.
And then.. SENTOSA!
(Right: The Sky Park 'No-butts' notice)
[SENTOSA]
Lollipops...
After alighting at the Beach Station, leonard tapped the card on one side and tried to exit on another.
It was so 尴尬!
We are SINGAPOREANS.
And we are standing in front of so many tourists somemore~!
(Right: Waterfront Station. The Future IR Location!
Lol.. Maybe next time in 2010, we shall have another 4L outing?)

So, ADELINE, AURIAL, GUODONG, HWEELI, LEONARD, ME, MEILING, MENGJIT, RANDY, SABRINA, YUELONG are in Sentosa now.
Next, the TRAM RIDE!
So many jerks and stops. Fun!
.. But it's not as exciting as last time the monorail..
(Right: The Twin Towers in the SPAC)
And.. Why issit always the 'Southernmost Point of Asia Continent'?
Lollipops! We went there and stayed for quite long.
Jiesi then came.
(Wonder did she manage to bluff her not-3-year-old parents?)
We ran betwwen the 2 towers and played some sort of hide-and-seek...
So lame!
(Right: The 10/11 ppl.. Yuelong's holding the cam..)
Palawan Beach!
Sunbathing, sand-castle-building, daydreaming (for aurial), song-singing and birthday celebration!
Lol.. We managed to build the sand-castle and its drainage system (dams, rivers, moat, etc), WITHOUT BUCKETS.
Just with our hands and the seawater.
It wasn't nice eventually, and was trampled over by aurial as a part of her birthday celebrations.
This was what happened:
1. Sing birthday song.
2. Blow out the invisible fire on the twig candles.
3. Cut the 'sand castle cake' with a twig knife.
4. ~~ STOMPING ON THE SAND-CASTLE!
NO~~!
It was abt 5.30pm when we finally decided to get out of the Island Resort.
[MOONCAKE CELEBRATION]
6.30pm.
Only left AURIAL, HWEELI, JIESI, LEONARD, ME, RANDY, SABRINA.
Others probably went home to watch the last-episode drama or the 9pm show..
Got into the skl. In flip-flops and sandals and beachwear..
No security guard to stop us (prob due to early break on this day).
The whole parade square looks empty, with some stalls already set up.
And Mrs Chew is talking to an ang-moh or something.
Chit-chatted for a lil' while before deciding to 'pop-in' to look at the performance.
But before we even got to the second floor, we saw 黄老师, carrying something on her hands.
Turned out to be some mee siam, which she treated us to..
And she even prepared forks and cups (to contain the food).
This is how we ended up having dinner in skl.
After 'dinner', it was crowded all over.
Again, 黄老师 treated us. Small slices of mooncakes.
And when I casually asked for tea after the mooncakes, she readily took out her 龙井茶.
(which i think she had bought it too yrs ago in china and put it in her cabinet until today, just like me)
Thanks so much, 黄老师!
We met Mrs Chew again and was amazed at what she was holding.
茶叶蛋! One of my favourites!
We then went to one of the stalls where we helped ourselves to the eggs.
Then 谭老师, the ex-chinese HOD walked past and said,
"这个不是给来宾吃的吗？"
Then we replied:
"我们始中四嘛，也算是来宾。"
Lollipops.
And we were so bored tt we went over to the jiang-gu-shi stall.
We learnt tt 'fishball' should be '鱼丸', not '鱼圆'.
Other than tt, we learnt abt how it came abt, as well as 猪肠粥's origin.
LAMENESS. =X
[HWEELI'S HOUSE]
OK. I must admit.
I like her 'lying-back chair' so much!
(Right: NONO! Not the chair. Just for illustration purposes.)
Apparently, today was the last episode of 情有可原, the malaysian version of a Singaporean drama few years ago.
Her parents had recorded it down for her.
So we went to her hse at 9pm to watch the ad-free version of the 7pm drama.
And the armchair was so cool la!
You can lie back, put ur legs on the 'thing' which pops up and enjoy your TV!
Went back home at abt 11+ and went to bed at abt 12+..
Only got to sleep at 1+ because of the pain on my legs..
At least I got to slp for 11h! =D
when exams are nearing, you will think of endless stuffs to do when it's over.
when it's over, you will think of how you are going to prepare for the next one to salvage your marks. Labels: Life..
