Okay, so I'm a month late, but I figured it was time to finally get off my laurels and talk about my Resorts World Singapore Universal Studios experience.
The boyfriend and his best friend had been talking about taking a trip to the little island down under to check out Universal Studios. Because Pok Xian, his best friend, works on Saturdays, they picked a Saturday which was a public holiday for us and the best choice was 5th June - Agong's birthday! Plus, it was also Dominic's birthday, so it was like a celebration of sorts too. (Btw sigh Agong why must your birthday be on a Saturday? My employers don't give us replacements for public holidays boo :( )
Being the chronic procrastinator I was, I left the packing till late. At about 11 p.m. with a wake-up call at 4:30 a.m. the next morning to get to the LCCT in time for our flight at 8 a.m, I was still packing. Or something along those lines.
Anddddddd during my packing, Adam sits me on my bed, taking both my hands in his and drops a bombshell telling me that "Err dear ah... I have bad news." Like he was pregnant wtf. Or he might have tried to make it a good news/bad news thing, but it was most definitely bad.
See, 5th June was not only a public holiday, but the first weekend of the Malaysian school holidays AND the Singapore school holidays. Read: Bumbling children all over the theme park whose over-zealous parents had bought the tickets for 5th June off the Resorts World website wayyyyyyyy in advance. Leaving us with no theme park tickets. Jeng jeng jeng.
A lot of drama later, we decided we'd just go try our luck with going there anyway. The moment we touched down at Changi, we hailed a cab to go there in person.
The silhouette of an AirAsia plane against the sunrise :)
Cloudy morning.
Nope. No luck. Staff at the counters told us that the tickets for Saturday had been sold out in advance and that there were none left for over-the-counter sales. Blasphemy. We decided to switch our plans around and get tickets for the next day instead -- although that meant we would have to rush through the theme park instead because our bus left Singapore at 4:30 p.m.
After buying the tickets, we wandered around some of the shops there instead. The Hershey's shop is to. die. for. Omg.
They had a Reese's section too. I love Reese's! I bought a packet of white chocolate Reese's (which Pok kindly informed me, white chocolate isn't real chocolate -_-) but they melted after leaving them in the locker all day long sigh.
Hershey's galore!
Next to the Hershey's shop was Garrett's Popcorn who does these really kick ass fragrant caramel popcorn with really big corn kernels. Till today, Adam still laments on and on about why nobody has brought it to Malaysia yet.
Because Dom and his colleagues were clever enough to buy tickets off the site in advance unlike us, they went on Saturday, and Pok went off to visit his sister on Saturday instead of Sunday like he initially planned, that left Adam and I a whole day to go dating around the island :p
We checked into our budget hotel on Joo Chiat Road and began our hunt for Katong laksa. Katong laksa is my absolute favourite-st dish in Singapore and is something I insist on having everytime I'm there. I think we took a twenty minute walk under the hot Singaporean sun, but it's okay! No walk is too long for Katong laksa. :p
As usual my poor sense of directions eluded me and I couldn't find the famous one that my family always goes to, so we settled for this one instead which was pretty damn good too. (Only that people don't usually serve chopsticks with Katong laksa because the noodles are supposed to be so short that you can eat it with a spoon alone.)
IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED, YOU MUST TRY IT!
Soon before long my bowl became like this. Only with the remnants of my uneaten taugeh bleh. And the plate in the background had what Adam proclaims as the best fried mee suah he has ever eaten.
After an incredibly satisfying lunch, we went back to the hotel to get changed for an evening at the malls :p
That picture was taken right before I dragged Adam to countless shoe shops, three of which were Charles & Keith. Charles & Keith shoes are actually so much cheaper in Singapore when they're on discount. But get this, after all the shoe shops I visited, not a single pair that I liked had my size left! ROAR.
I'm a size 39/8 and in Malaysia, this is the size that's usually leftover during sale period. Singaporean girls have bigger feet than Malaysians. :( So, Great Singapore Sale, you were not very fun this time round. (Also, Adam probably found it the most frightening ordeal ever.)
Dinner at MOS Burger. This is a Chicken Teriyaki sushi rice burger thingymajig. Incredibly small and I wouldn't think worth the SGDs we paid for it, but interesting nonetheless. The boyfriend said he felt like he was "...eating a bento box." The stuff from the bento box, I mean, not the box per se. Never mind.
We met up with Dom and his colleagues, Pok & ZH for after dinner drinks at Clarke Quay and I feel like kicking myself for not taking any photos because we got the birthday boy drunk. And he was a bloody intellectual drunk too might I add. I've seen quite a fair bit of drunken people -- emo drunks, hyper drunks, sleepy drunks, violent drunks, but I've never seen a smart drunk. :p
Dom: "What are the 5 Greek Options!? Tell me, what are the 5 Greek Options!"
o__O
I don't think I could do justice to the whole situation, so I think I'll leave it to one of the guys to blog about. Hehe.
Went to bed late and woke up early on Sunday to be in line to rush into the park when the gates open.
Welcome to Universal Studios, oh we went through quite a lot to get tickets for you geez.
First stop: Jurassic Park! We sat on that glider coaster thing which isn't one of my favourites because ever since Gold Coast, I figured that coasters where my legs are left dangling in mid-air aren't for me. Maybe it's just that I don't feel secure enough.
The mandatory photo with a dino.
Far Far Away, the kingdom in Shrek. Sigh. It's one thing watching princess all your life in cartoons when you're little, and another seeing castle structures in real life. I swear I practically skipped down the path when I saw this.
Welcome to Far Far Away! Adam having fun pushing his girlfriend far far away. His idea for a photo op, not mine.
More pictures of Far Far Away & the quaint streets. And two knight in shining armours at the top left. :p
Shrek! /waves crazily. I keep on forgetting I'm 22 this year instead of 2.
The Enchanted Airways ride where they make you queue up in this house with stone walls, complete with fun posters for you to read whilst waiting in line. The roller coaster is actually the dragon in Shrek, or in this case, their "airplane", hence, Enchanted Airways.
Trying to keep a straight face vs. trying to be yeng.
The boys!
Clockwise from top left: The view of Far Far Away from...far far away (no pun intended), the famed Battlestar Galatica which is still shut after months, the matinee where we caught the Monster Rock musical, and the streets of Lights Camera Action.
One of the Egyptian men on stilts who walked around the park nearly all afternoon in the scorching heat. He had very nice abs though. Ahem.
One of the vintage cars outside the diner where we had lunch.
Madagascar! With "I like to movit movit" blaring out of the speakers! Super fun.
Cannot not take a picture with the Madagascar animals. :D The rest of the area looked really good. Unfortunately, didn't really take as many pictures here as I would have liked since the rides in this side of the park were mainly for children and we were running out of time anyway. :(
One of the signboards in Old Hollywood. If you can't quite read it, it says "Welcome to Hollywood; Population: Glamourous". Hee.
And last but not least, the two majestic statues outside the Revenge of the Mummy in Ancient Egypt. The best ride of the whole theme park, IMO. It was a super long wait, but it was the one that made my ticket's worth. It's a roller coaster ride with parts in complete darkness so you don't really know which way you're going to tip next -- left right up down, even backwards.
Looking back, we only actually spent about 5 hours in the theme park, including lunch and watching a few shows. We missed this water show which was supposed to be really good, and the guys would probably have liked to go on some of the rides again but despite all that, if you plan your time properly, go in when the gates open and all that, you can probably cover the whole park quite nicely.
The size pales in comparison when you think about Movie World in Gold Coast, but that probably makes it much better for families with children. My brother, Su, and their three kids went a week or two after us and they spent the entire day there.
After all that, we hopped into a cab to go to our last destination in Singapore where we were to take the bus from -- yet another mall. And of course, what with my luck with all the shoe shops earlier on, the guys suggested that I try the very last Charles & Keith in that building which would bring my total tally to four Charles & Keith outlets in two freaking days.
So I did, and again... no size. :'((((((
Whilst wandering around waiting for our bus (after my fourth and final traumatic Charles & Keith no-size drama), we saw this. xoxo.chic for real one day, perhaps? Maybe we should copyright it soon. Lol.
So, with that, ended our two-day weekend getaway to Singapore. Did I enjoy it? Sure I did. Good company and new places to see made the two days great fun. I know I grumbled when the boyfriend planned it because the MYR to SGD exchange rate is never soothing for Malaysian bank accounts, but I'm glad I went. Now, next stop is Bangkok/Krabi in September, and I'm dead excited.
I never knew why holidays were so important before I started work, because my family was never big on travelling, but now, after I've fully immersed my life into a 9 to 7 job, I totally get it. Bonuses, from now on, are going into my once-a-year travelling fund. Koh Samui, Bali, Hong Kong, Japan, Melbourne, Paris, Rome, US of A, England, Egypt, here I come! /broke and dreaming.
<3
Just cause I'm bored and I need a break from work (plus the boyfriend has disappeared from Gtalk chat - my new favourite invention since MSN and whatnot are all blocked), I'm going to just exercise my fingers here for a bit before I make the next phone call.
I'm dying for end of November & the whole of December to come so we get some very much desired public holidays.
Three long weekends in December, yo. Public holidays FTW.
Colleagues and I were saying how much we needed a vacation over lunch which made me think back to Pangkor on Merdeka weekend this year and how blissful it was. Sun, salty seawater, sand in our pants, flip-flopping everywhere (not like I don't already flip-flop everywhere la that is), and sunnies perched on heads. Ahhhh. I want another vacation.
Ah, so picturesque. The guys sans ZH who was busy sleeping.
.JPG)
Sepet & sepet-er! HAHAHAHA. He hates this picture. But I like it so too bad. <3
:D!
.
.
.
.
.
Sigh. Back to reality.
I really think I'm getting older and it shows. I get so tired after studying a whole night for a stupid test which turned out to be 1% per MCQ question. Jeezus.
Red Box yesterday night with the uni gang, and as usual, good times. Obviously, we made the three guys do Ayo Technology again, but unfortunately, Timbo screwed up his already-minimal-three-sentences in the song, so they're going to have to do it AGAIN the next time we go. Lol. And on a side note, I'm very amazed at Adam's rapping. He hits every single freaking word while the rest of us would probably just mumble through, all out of breath.
The buffet dinner at Red Box isn't half bad, seriously. And extra 10 bucks. Which we walloped enough sushi to cover. And much more. Damn shy really, the sign says four pieces per person. So Zhen Han and I queued up together and well, obviously we're entitled to eight pieces right. So to make things easy, we tell him one of each type, because in the display we see eight different types. How on earth were we supposed to know that there were more than eight types? The sushi guy ended up making us twelve pieces while a long, long line formed behind us. Omg, damn malu-fying okay.
Haha, and Adam and Bryan singing to Ashlee Simpson's Boyfriend is damn classic. Honestly, the lyrics are all sorts of wrong for a guy to sing, but oh well. :P
It was a spontaneous decision to go to Red Box (after three of us *ahem*skippedclass*ahem*) so dammit, I didn't have my camera.
*
And because I'd already resized all the Langkawi pictures and uploaded them a month ago, all ready to post but then got lazy, I'm making myself battle the sloth in me today. I already didn't post the Penang pictures, so I had better post the Langkawi ones. I want to be able to look back here in ten years time and remember the good times, and smile at the pictures. Not dial-up friendly, sorry.
11 p.m. at the bus stop in Jalan Duta, waiting for the bus to bring us on our awesome holiday. :D
Somewhere in a rest stop in Perak (or was it Penang?) at 3 am in the morning.
Even the rest stops bring loads of fun. Watching Jo walk to another bus, almost going up from our bus was hilarious. Hahahahaha. And then, Miss totally random Suk Kwan, at another stop where thankfully most of the people on the bus were down for a toilet break, put her hoodie up over her head and suddenly went "YO YO WASSUP WASSUP!". Omg, damn funny.
Waiting for the Pulau Langkawi ferry to come at 5 something in the morning. Yawn.
A tip though, for those of you planning to go to Langkawi and planning to rent a car while you're there. Never ever try to rent a car on the mainland before crossing over to the island because there will be people trying to offer you cars, telling you they've got people over on the other side, and can get you a cheaper price, bla bla bla. They ask for a deposit, and when you reach the island, there's no such company. Thankfully we wanted to see the actual car itself and ignored them - the guy on the other side whom we got the car from (and the apartment too, for a very cheap price) told us there were many a conmen on the other side.
Very early in the morning after getting our van. Went to a coffee shop in town, had some very good char kuey teow, and pored over the map, deciding where to go next.
As you can tell, we're very happy with our van.
The Power Ranger. See, a few days before the trip, Jo took a picture with some Power Rangers during this event at Sg. Wang. We then started to jokingly refer to him as the Power Ranger after that, and I can't remember why, but one day he went, "Don't worry, the Power Ranger is here!" and well... the rest is history.
First stop, Snake Sanctuary.
At the snake show mini-arena.
Jo & Mary before the snake show starts.
The snake trainer.
The other trainer. I swear, this guy is such a daredevil. The snake nearly bit him in the mouth.
.
.
.
.
See, through a simple elimination process, you can work up who didn't have the nerve to go take a picture with the big bad snake. Haha!
Notice Ming's big, masking-his-uneasiness smile. :D
More Power Ranger poses.
Now that's pretty scary, no?
Chi muis.
Next stop, the Langkawi cable car. Which everyone totally needs to go on. It's great. Brings you way up, stops at many levels for you to admire the view (and in our case, camwhore) and enjoy the nice breeze.
Oh, and if you ever go to Langkawi, watch out for the prices, because they tend to charge tourists another price and Malaysian citizens another price, so look out for the signs that say you get a discount if you flash them your MyKad.
Picture of the little town where the cable car station is hosted. There's tons of other things there too, lots of little shops, a mini petting area where there are deer and rabbits.
At the Langkawi cable car.
Yay, it's here!
Aww, this is such a nice pic.
Jo & Mary.
Admiring the view.
Group pic! The cable car was madly unbalanced, but well, for a picture... :P
Mary and I.
It was really pretty. Really, I can't stop singing praises about the cable car ride. Like Ming put it, best usage of RM15 ever.
I took this...
And they took this.
Jo & I. If you're ever planning to go on the cable car ride in Langkawi (which you definitely should, btw, it's freaking awesome) and you have long hair? Bring a scrunchie. Or else you'll end up looking like Medusa in all your pictures like I did.
See what I mean?
The lovebirds.
Me and my sadly chipped JayJays sunnies. :(
Us four.
I really don't know what they're doing.
For some reason, it doesn't really look that high, but it really was.
More Power Ranger poses.
The Power Ranger is...flying.
"Every night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you..."
All shaded up.
Ching & I, and a whole lotta wind.
700 meters above sea level.
Hello!
You know, looking back, I realised just how little pictures of the view we had. LOL. Everything else has our faces in it.
On one of the stops of the cable car.
LOL.
The bridge from afar. After seeing that, we just so had to go on it.
So pretty.
This bridge was awesome, I tell you.
My loves.
Group pic!
Flip-flops are a necessity. (Speaking of which, I need new Ipanemas. Shoppingggggggg, anyone?)
We are such self-absorbed people. Mary turned the camera the other way round after taking the previous picture, facing upwards, and immediately, everyone's heads moved in for a picture. *shakes head*
AHAHAHAHAHA. Don't ask.
Lol. I have no idea why we're such syok sendiri people.
Aww, such a sweet picture.
Climbing and climbing up from the bridge.
Stopping by at the liquor store for the drinking that night.
Rows and rows of alcohol, some unheard of. We bought a bottle of lychee vodka, "Kwai Fei" brand just for fun to try, and it tasted pretty good! Twas cheap too, about 20 over bucks.
Damn gigantic, no?
...that's how big it really is. Bigger than Ming's head! And it also costs RM 465. If I'm not wrong, that's about 4 or 5 litres. Usually you pay about half of that for a 750 ml one at a club anyway.
...and that's how tall a Heineiken bottle is.
Hehe.
Such sinners.
For the first time in history, I do not look red after drinks.
A tipsy Sukkwan. Lol! Don't kill me, babe.
Alcohol does funny things to people.
Yes, it really does funny things.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. OMG. I laughed for about an hour after I saw this picture.
Day 2, after much lazing around in bed after the effects of last night, and off to Telaga Tujuh it was.
Hey, in our defense, it was a lot of driving and we were bored.
Seriously, the van was one of the best parts of the trip.
Cam-whoring while Ming and Ching get lunch.
Mary and moi. AND MY HAIR COLOUR!
Jo and I.
Pimping Jo.
Climbed and climbed and climbed and climbed for what seemed like forever and finally reached the falls! I don't think we reached the highest part, but hungry and tired people don't really care.
Picnic lunch! Ching's right, KFC really does taste better in Langkawi. Or maybe it was because of all the climbing we did.
Gee, this is making me feel hungry right now. -__-"
Part of the falls. I didn't manage to get the whole thing, but there are actually many parts to the falls (or rather as the name suggests, seven, but I don't know). There's this little part where you can slide down to the next level, and they made me try it, so three of us went, and let me tell you, I screaaaaaaaaamed my head off. Whattt, I have a phobia of water, okay.
LOL!
The guys of the trip.
In this little pond at the waterfalls.
LOL, Jo trying to get out of the pond.
Left the falls, and obviously, the stop was the beach. I don't quite remember the name (Pantai Chenang, maybe? See, that's what I get for blogging so long after the trip), but it was nice, not dirty like the Seremban or Penang beaches.
Banana boat ride! Omg, the ride was fun, you're speeding through the water, and the "banana" is bouncing up and down, and around you, the sun is setting. BUT, the part where they capsized the boat on purpose and make you fall into the water was not. Yes, life jacket and everything, but falling into the water, while watching the water close over the sky is not fun. I screamed...and then realised that my feet could touch the ground. Lol.
Painful though, because we all fall together, so it's a whole heap of jumbled up limbs.
"Owww, who kicked my ass?"
"Ehh frienddd, your leg ahhhh."
"Bloody hell, damn pain, someone hit my arm."
Oh, and what made it even worse is that the banana boat guy was telling us later that it was the season for some jellyfish shedding? The water was filled with little pieces of jellyfish skin or whatever it was, that was effing painful. Every single part of your body that had contact with water stung like mad. I'm serious, it was probably one of the most uncomfortable experiences I've ever had. If we had went a week later, he said, the season would be over and the water would be fine.
My buddy for life.
Picking a spot to settle down.
Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuun!
Juuuuuuuuuuuuuump! Whoa, damn high.
Jo doing his thang.
Okay, so I'm going to finally admit that Ming does look A LITTLE BIT like Takeshi Kaneshiro in this picture. And in front of a computer screen somewhere, Ming's head swells.
Jo (whom I think is standing on higher sand -_-) and I.
Such posers, tsk!
Suki and I! Miss you, dear.
"Look, there's even a small watering can and everything!" AHAHAHAHA.
After ten minutes of begging, Jo finally relented and let us bury him. Nyahahaha. Although, Ching says he probably secretly already wanted us to bury him. Hey, it's not easy burying someone in the sand, especially if your someone keeps on giggling. Everytime he giggled, his chest cracked, and we had to start all over again. -_- And well, we did try to give him pecs.
I totally heart this pic.
Ching & Ming building away after much persuading from Ching.
No beach holiday is complete without a self-shot at the beach.
The fine sand.
The Ching-Ming fortress.
Ching, Ming and their "dynasty". Or so Ming says. :P
I'm not sure why there's a star smack right in the middle. Maybe it's their Putrajaya? Hee.
Ahahahaha, look, it's Spiderman!
And then everyone decides they wanna join in.
Jo built a...err, dog.
Great holiday. Fantastic company. Not complete, though - Siokkwan there too would've made it much better. :) So let's see, Penang down the year before, Langkawi last year, and Bangkok here we come at the end of this year!
<3
I really should be studying, but it's freaking raining AGAIN for the millionth time, and it's all dark and cooling and I feel like sleeping a bit before having a chilling Bangsar night out with the girls later.
Choices, choices. :D

So, I just watched Episodes 10 & 11 of OTH Season 5 and nearly bawled my eyes out. I need for Episode 12 to come, like, now.
Sigh, possibly the best looking father-son combo on TV. Little Jamie just wins my heart every time.
Episode 12, where are youuuuu? :(
Red Box yesterday night with the uni gang, and as usual, good times.

Part of the falls. I didn't manage to get the whole thing, but there are actually many parts to the falls (or rather as the name suggests, seven, but I don't know). There's this little part where you can slide down to the next level, and they made me try it, so three of us went, and let me tell you, I screaaaaaaaaamed my head off. Whattt, I have a phobia of water, okay.
LOL!
The guys of the trip.
In this little pond at the waterfalls.
LOL, Jo trying to get out of the pond.
Left the falls, and obviously, the stop was the beach. I don't quite remember the name (Pantai Chenang, maybe? See, that's what I get for blogging so long after the trip), but it was nice, not dirty like the Seremban or Penang beaches.
Banana boat ride! Omg, the ride was fun, you're speeding through the water, and the "banana" is bouncing up and down, and around you, the sun is setting. BUT, the part where they capsized the boat on purpose and make you fall into the water was not. Yes, life jacket and everything, but falling into the water, while watching the water close over the sky is not fun. I screamed...and then realised that my feet could touch the ground. Lol.
Painful though, because we all fall together, so it's a whole heap of jumbled up limbs.
"Owww, who kicked my ass?"
"Ehh frienddd, your leg ahhhh."
"Bloody hell, damn pain, someone hit my arm."
Oh, and what made it even worse is that the banana boat guy was telling us later that it was the season for some jellyfish shedding? The water was filled with little pieces of jellyfish skin or whatever it was, that was effing painful. Every single part of your body that had contact with water stung like mad. I'm serious, it was probably one of the most uncomfortable experiences I've ever had. If we had went a week later, he said, the season would be over and the water would be fine.
My buddy for life.
Picking a spot to settle down.
Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuun!
Juuuuuuuuuuuuuump! Whoa, damn high.
Jo doing his thang.
Okay, so I'm going to finally admit that Ming does look A LITTLE BIT like Takeshi Kaneshiro in this picture. And in front of a computer screen somewhere, Ming's head swells.
Jo (whom I think is standing on higher sand -_-) and I.
Such posers, tsk!
Suki and I! Miss you, dear.
"Look, there's even a small watering can and everything!" AHAHAHAHA.
After ten minutes of begging, Jo finally relented and let us bury him. Nyahahaha. Although, Ching says he probably secretly already wanted us to bury him. Hey, it's not easy burying someone in the sand, especially if your someone keeps on giggling. Everytime he giggled, his chest cracked, and we had to start all over again. -_- And well, we did try to give him pecs.
I totally heart this pic.
Ching & Ming building away after much persuading from Ching.
No beach holiday is complete without a self-shot at the beach.
The fine sand.
The Ching-Ming fortress.
Ching, Ming and their "dynasty". Or so Ming says. :P
I'm not sure why there's a star smack right in the middle. Maybe it's their Putrajaya? Hee.
Ahahahaha, look, it's Spiderman!
And then everyone decides they wanna join in.
Jo built a...err, dog.
Great holiday. Fantastic company. Not complete, though - Siokkwan there too would've made it much better. :) So let's see, Penang down the year before, Langkawi last year, and Bangkok here we come at the end of this year!
<3
I really should be studying, but it's freaking raining AGAIN for the millionth time, and it's all dark and cooling and I feel like sleeping a bit before having a chilling Bangsar night out with the girls later.
Choices, choices. :D

So, I just watched Episodes 10 & 11 of OTH Season 5 and nearly bawled my eyes out. I need for Episode 12 to come, like, now.
Sigh, possibly the best looking father-son combo on TV. Little Jamie just wins my heart every time.
Episode 12, where are youuuuu? :(
