Sky Dining and Marina Barrage

18th jan 2009, me and dear went for sky dining from jewel box on mt faber :P was very excited the whole day cuz it sounds really quite fun to have a romantic dinner on a moving cable car. we reached there damn early, cuz excited lol. and we started early at around 6 which we regretted, cuz by the end of the 3 rounds of ride, it's not really dark yet at 7.30pm. we should have gone up at around 6.30pm...

when the cable car started to move with table of appetizers inside, i was quite shocked, cuz quite fast sia the cable car (long time nv sit cable car lol), and the table was shaking though no food or drinks toppled cuz of the shaking. got 2 drinks (1 plain water, 1 red wine) toppled, cuz of my butter hands, and extra movements lol. dear kept nagging me saying she paiseh lol. what to do, i also not purposely de, spoil a bit the romantic mood lah. overall, the food was quite ok, above average. it's an experience, quite shiok but also expensive at 198 bucks :P

towards the end of the cable ride, a pro photographer took a photograph of us, and we bought a big photograph + 2 small card size ones + 1 shake-shake thingy (dunno what's that called....similar to those christmas thingy) for 40 bucks. quite nice the photo. i kept the small card size one in my diary (given by dear too :P)

me having a tortoise face =X

Before the sky dining, we went to marina barrage to see the nice scenery as seen on photos on the web :P really quite nice :) Sun was out then, and the wind was super strong. so strong that i got the feeling that i was going to be blown away lol. took some photos too :P dear also took some banner-kind photos using my omnia lol. my canon camera doesn't have that function, stupid camera, i am going to discard it soon, when i have some money to spare.

i like this photo :P

on a side note, started packing my luggage yesterday, realise that really no space lah for a 20kg luggage. winter clothes take up half of the luggage liao. i still havent put in casual wear, and shirts and blazer...already quite full liao...die, got to squeeze squeeze squeeze...

back from genting

went for a 3d2n genting trip with dear last sunday. quite fun cuz we managed to play at the outdoor theme park though the weather wasn't really favourable.

1st day, had to wake up at 5am cuz bus leaving sun plaza at 6.30am. very tiring lol. the bus ride was okay initially, but towards the end, cuz the road was rather rough, i somehow felt uncomfortable. that's the 2nd time i 晕车, 1st time was when i was on a taxi from guangzhou to hongkong i think during the return trip from China biz trip. the check-in process was rather smooth, but we got a cui room, with no scenery, cuz dear thought her aunt said tower 2 instead of tower 1 =X lol, but nvm lah, it's ok lol, cheap cheap mah :P had lunch at 阿一 :P it's a dimsum lunch :P the price was ok lah for such a restaurant.

Our room

2nd day, we wanted to play whole day at the theme park, but weather was damn bad till 3pm. so we played the indoor ones, quite boring... in the meantime. went to the snow world, very cold inside, but fun :P got ice slide, as well as snow flakes simulating real snow dropping from the sky :) took a few photos too ourselves even though the temp damn low till my hands were numb. we also bought photos that were shot by the camera pple there.

Snow World

luckily, the weather turned better at around 3pm, and we entered the outdoor theme park. long time nv play this kinda thing, buay tahan lol. i sat the cyclone, and few other rides, except the scary corkscrew and space shot. i simply cannot tahan vertical drops lol. dear took them all =X scary girl lol. we both went for the karting thingy, quite fun, though dear got a slow one, and i managed to lap many pple, including her lol.

Boating in outdoor theme park

and to end the day, we had abalone for dinner =X wah, sounds so 奢侈 but then it's only 50 bucks per person. 难得 we come to genting for a vacation. got abalone, got shark's fin soup, got bird nests tart, and others. okay lah :)

3rd day, is time to go back to singapore. had a brunch at KFC. it's cheaper than singapore, for the portion we get. eat till buay tahan, very full lo. but i think i buay tong the special chilli lime sauce, cuz i had a bad stomach when i almost reach Singapore. luckily i manage to go to the toilet in time when we finally reached sun plaza at around 9pm.

oh yeah, ytd, we went to koh yu's house. play games. watch tv. eat. talk. have to say thanks to koh yu :)

think dear is going back home now. she's been shopping for the whole afternoon for new cny clothes.

ok end of post :P

2009

It's 2009! Ytd didn't really celebrate, cuz actually i dun feel like squeezing with crowds at downtown, and the traffic confirm cui when all the pple there are rushing up north, with CTE already cui everyday.

so we just had a steamboat dinner at home, with my mum's sea cucumbers :P this time round not as nice, cuz not as soft as i want lol, but no matter what still better than those coffeeshops and restaurants.

also we watched 2 vcds. one is 梁祝, acted by 吴尊 and A-Sa. ok lah, as usual sad ending lol. was hoping for a happy ending, but then this storyline is always sad ending de. the other show is a horror show, forgot the name le, japanese show. hair is the theme. quite scary, though there are some parts that are too draggy for a horror show. dear was a scaredy cat lol. so funny, use the pillow to cover her eyes, though she says she still can see lol.

finish the show it's 10 minutes to 2009. counted down with the TV. and here came 2009!

2009 is a brand new year, so it's always good to have some goals to achieve set. so without much thinking, i shall list down some goals.

1) Continue a good r/s with dear, even though i would be in Shanghai from Feb.

2) Have a clearer direction in life.

3) Good health for me, dear, and my family and friends. (i can only control mine...so i have to eat properly in Shanghai esp)

4) Manage work and studies well over in Shanghai

5) Start to build a viable network, for business, for other purposes too :P

6) Exercise regularly, in part of building a healthy me :P

7) Control my temper better, dun scold pple so much, cuz will karma

8) Always try to achieve a win-win situation.

okay, that's all i can think for now lol. i guess they are very general, and they need my every effort to achieve, esp the 1st one. the 1st one is the one that i wish to achieve most. and i feel is a must!

that day, dear was telling me that jeslyn asked her whether we are having a lifetime commitment. and i can positively say yes. i told her that, and she reaffirmed me with a yes too :) well, it's kind of reassuring to hear that. sometimes, reassurance is really necessary, although we always say 尽在不言中 or 不言而喻．i guess the feeling was the same for her. it has always been my problem to be not very expressive in words regarding love. well, i have been trying to improve, and i still have much to improve. hopefully 2009 would be a year that i improve dramatically cuz i have to, esp when i am not physically with her all the time. i will strive to, no matter what!

ok, end of story-telling =X would be gg Genting this coming Sunday for 3 days 2 nights. would try to enter casino for the 1st time to see see look look, as well as have fun with the rides which i dare to take lol. and most importantly, enjoy the moments that me and my dear are tgt :)
