The Brighter Side: Singapore: 20/03-22/3

This...

is a very very belated post that I have been procrastinating on. So I shall get started.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I was to participate in this 3D/3N programme in Singapore with food/accommodation/transport provided.

I enjoyed the programme. 17 ppl participated (which to me ws good as we had the whole bus to ourselves!). We stayed at this chalet called Goldkist Resort, which was super clean (its Singapore) and yes, I may sound too hyper about but coming from someone who has NOT been to Singapore since she was a small child was not at all surprising. So many things have changed. And I fell in love with Singapore.

Pictures. :-)

Cloudy Singapore.

Man-made Singapore.

I thought this was some special Yam Basket. But it's actually a unique-tasting tofu with sweet peanut sauce (like our satay sauce). It was at this restaurant serving Indonesian food.

This was at Marina Bay. Notice that giant erm..space-like structure there?

Look closer and you would see that the whole structure is made of empty recyclable water bottles. Those round florescent rings pasted at the bottom of the bottles gave an interesting hue to the structure when the UV lights were changing colour in the room.

I love this structure. Looks like blood vessel no? The lights up there changes colour too. So it really looks like you are up close and personal with a blood vessel when it becomes red.

Haha. This looks rather gay I know. Thats Li Fong from Taylors there. And I can't blame him for touching that water droplet there..I mean, who wouldn't resist doing so. They look so cute I tell you. Just imagine, they had lots of those dangling in the middle of our walkway.

Peek into the water droplet and you would see this. Awesome right!

After passing the walkways with water droplets, we came to this section. It was meant to emphasize about going green. I thought of Ching Yee as I was passing this place obviously because it was all GREEN. :p

Water. Something that we can never live without.

We had to wear business attire on our first day in Singapore. So, my mum practically made me pack one of her business suits to wear for our first day. Friends say I look so much better with formal attire. I just had to pose for the camera.

This is actually a floor and the bottom of this floor is a replica of Singapore. I had trouble walking properly at this section because I was afraid I'd fall/break the floor and literally play Godzilla (Not that I'm thaaaatt heavy, but you get the point?)

On top of Marina Bay's roof is a huge green field. Sorry about the lighting, it looks as though all of us made a visit in heaven. -___-"

Still at the top of Marina Bay. Thats Katelyn, Michelle, and Meei yuun there (frm left to right). I felt that the rainbow coloured umbrella somehow made this pic interesting :)

Look down from Marina Bay's rooftop, there were lots of children playing at the water fountain. I recalled some of us girls sighing with love over their freedom. Sigh. How I long to relive those carefree years.

OMG. This ice cream is so weird, the cone is triangular, and the ice cream is sculptured so high till I was afraid it would topple (knowing how clumsy I am). The ice cream melted too fast though. And sadly, EVERYONE chose green tea -__-".

Chocolate cake from Awfully Chocolate. According to Poh Gee and Meei Yuun, this is one of THE BEST choc cakes ever! Well, I don't usually rate chocolate cakes -i.e: I'm a noob at chocolate cakes. But still, the cake was moist and chocolatey enough to make me very very satisfied. We were eating this on the beach near our resort somemore. What more can we ask. Bliss... :)

Dominic calls this 'the Durian'. LOL. Its.. ah crap.. temporary memory loss.. Now I can't seem to recall what this building was for. OMG!! I'll update this as soon as I can.

The Merlion (apparently our tour guide tld us that it recently got struck by lightning directly on its head)

Our final dinner for the program. This is our appetizer; an array of prawns, spring rolls and potato cutlets. OMG, the food was sooo good!

A lone parsley. This parsley, was not like any ordinary parsley. It made Poh Gee, Meei Yuun and I laugh so hard till our laughs were uncontrollable..all because Poh Gee took it, put it slightly near her nose and mimicked a nose picking session. OMG...ROFL!!!

This is the Highlander, a very english-themed bar. Omg, I love the place. The beer tasted so fresh as it was freshly brewed and those chandelier antlers fascinated me.
