Episode: Not Singapore / Happy Chinese New Year
Monday, January 26, 2009

It is suppose to be a short holiday, but my mom woke me up at 9am. I have not had enough sleep yet and my body is starting ache due to Friday's shopping and yesterday's soccer game. Dragged myself to the bathroom and got ready to go out. There was my mom, and both of my sisters. Where did we go? Well here. My mom had been here before, but for my sisters and myself it was our first time.

Well, the place was like Botanic Gardens, but it seemed much nicer. The interesting part is where we go to enter a house. The house was meant to entertain us with all the greenery. It was a very interesting concept.

It was really a house.

Walked a long way to see everything here.


We were tired, but that was only the beginning of the day. We also wanted to go to Henderson Waves, so we walked up the bridge.

Another first for me.

The view from up there was great, but the view from above looking down was even more exhilarating. Look at how high I am. Nice.

After a 2.4km walk, we reached the place.

Well, other then the view, it was like another place but with the wooden waves.

It was like the Great Wall of China.

See the coloured path? Well, we started from Hortpark and by the end of today, we want to go to Harbour Front for our lunch, so we had to cover the whole distance of the pathway. Tired already man.

We just carry on.
Interesting places. It does not look like Singapore at all.
Except for the old HDB flats from the view.


The pathway led us here.

The Jewelry Box. I guess this is where you take the Cable car ride.

I thought that we were near Vivo, because we had walked for almost three hours or so. In order to get to Vivo City, the last place we had to walk through was ( I forgot the name of the place). Saw some funny signs.

Walk again.
Then came to a familiar place. This arch. Then I remembered, the last time(which was my first time) here was when I was doing my group assignment using DSLR to take pictures. My group was with Saf, Cindy and Jazz.

There was Vivo.
We did not go inside Vivo for our lunch, as we knew that the Banquet and the rest of the Halal stalls were closed due to the festive holidays. Instead, we had our lunch at the food court. To our shock, we saw a lot of Bangladeshi workers taking the Sentosa bus. There was a very long and thick queue.

Look at this. I heard the the eclipse was suppose to come at around 4pm, but at 1.30pm, it seemed that the eclipse came early. Those Bangladeshi eyes were looking at us as we walk past them and squeezed our way through to the food court.

Singapore had truely changed. Chinese Nationals, Bangladeshis, Indonesians, Burmese and many more come here to invade Singapore. It seems today their mission was to invade Sentosa.

Looked for a seat. Even after we ate, the crowd of Bangladeshi workers were still queueing up to get to Sentosa. This was really a full scale invasion.

I do not know what it is, but the train stations were packed too. Maybe it was a Harbour Front New Year.

My body is still aching, but I can bear with it. I am just waiting someone to give me a massage. Hehe.. I did went straight to sleep after watching some shows on TV. At night, went down to eat dinner.
