Resort World Sentosa

Here are the overdue photos from my visit to Resort World Sentosa three weeks back.
The highlight of the trip was to visit Genting Group's newborn (the casino) in Singapore.
Before entering the casino, I bumped upon Singapore's comedy juggling duo, Kit and Kai. Their street performances brought lots of laughter to the big crowd at RWS.

In front of Universal Studio. It was still under construction when we were there. It opened its door to the public 2 weeks ago.

Kit and Kai

Us and the clowns. I trembled a little when I felt something was on my shoulder and hoped that the photographer would quickly press the shutter.

Forgotten which building was this in RWS

Family’s Annual Trip – Day 3

The family at Chinatown and Bugis.. without me :(

CK looks so impatient :p

Bit: Keller Homemade's scarfs nicer la! :p
And more CDs shopping..

Oh, the usual ice-cream meal :p
And, on the left, CK's and Mom's shopping outcome.

Mom and Pei Ling came over to Yishun for dinner with me in the evening. After dinner, we made our way to Clarke Quay so that Mom could enjoy the night view there.

Me and my Ma cha at Dhoby Ghaut station.

That was the end of my family's stay in Singapore. I hope I could bring them over again next year when the Singapore version's Universal Studio opens to the public.

Family’s Annual Trip – Day 2

On Day #2, the itinerary was supposed to be Jurong Bird Park in the morning, Chinatown and Bugis in the afternoon. However, we ended up spending more time in the Bird Park, shopping at Jurong Point and Harbour Front.

Instead of opting for the MRT or cab, I decided that we should try the SAEx bus service. SAEx stands for Singapore Attractions Express. It chauffeurs you to the major attractions in Singapore and has several pick-up points around the city. It is also inexpensive - $4 per adult to the Jurong Bird Park/Night Safari/Singapore Zoo.

Penguins! The room was super cold!

Beautiful flamingos

Spot the focus point! :p

Omg, a bird on the loose!

A very entertaining fowl show

Teatime at Prata Wala in Jurong Point. The prata tasted quite good. It was recommended by my landlady! According to her, this is the best in Singapore :p

After a one or two hour shopping at Jurong Point, we departed to Harbour Front, where Mom and CK shopped for CDs like crazy! We arrived at our hotel room at about 5PM and rested before departing for dinner.

On our way to Raffles City for dinner

Dinner time

That was the end of Day 2 and I had to return to my flat after that :(

Family’s Annual Trip – Day 1

This post is long overdue. It was a busy weekend, in which I had spent quality time with my family over here in Singapore.

Our family would usually plan for an annual trip during year-end. In the past years, we had travelled to Penang, Penang and Penang. I could not recall how many times we have chosen Penang as our annual vacation destination :p This time, I did not have to travel along with the family. I was to expect them at the Changi Airport!

At the arrival hall.. waited for at least one hour for the arrival of The Cha's and Mr. Low TH and family

At the lobby in YMCA

Dinner at Dhoby Ghaut's Kopitiam before departing to Orchard. Ling cha is nowhere to be seen as she was sitting next to me on the dining table :p

On the way to Orchard.. We need some introduction here! From the left: My cute brother, CK; Mom; Mr. Low and sister, Pei Yee; Mr. Low's sister, Siaw Chek and.. and.. and.. Ah Jie? Haha.
