#15 First Week of Year 2 Sem 2

School officially started but I'm still in holiday mood. Spent the first week of school as if it's still the holidays omg. Guilty, but hey, time spent with friends are priceless. :')


JB trip to dye Anna's hair. Thanks to lz for coming down just to be our security guard hahahah


Met up with some of the 33rds after the trip! Such spontaneity I think can only be found in these council friends. Only when we met did I really know who are the ones turning up hahah. And venue was only decided like 1 hour before we met! The best plans are the unplanned, truly. Huiyang also very spontaneously treated us dinner at pizza hut and dessert at marble slab because sign on kids are so damn rich. Jaw dropped when I heard his pay. I want it too!!!

Oh and yes, I booked our flight to BKK just because scoot was having a promotion! What an exciting day :)

Went JB again the very next day for seafood *yumzzzzzz* Met the guys at causeway and we crossed the customs ourselves. Went City Square before we decided to cab to KSL because noob me has never been there. But it was a very wasted trip because there's absolutely nothing there! City square is much better! Only thing was that I managed to try the bear paw bun at only RM 7.90! C commented that it's a gimmick that no one would fall for. But.......... I........ did......... -.- Okay whatever, but there's really nothing special about the bun except for it's cuteness after trying it.


Took a cab from the same cab driver who drove us to KSL, but this time was 6 people in a cab to Senibong, haaaaaaaa it was rather torturous because it was much mooooorrrrreee further. Cab driver was friendly though and shared with us his life story. Like wow, but we couldn't determine how much truth it contains.


Had dinner at Permas Seafood Village. Came back and checked online and their ratings were not bad though! Spent about RM 350 in total which amounted to about SDG$24 per person.


Hokkien Mee with Crab Meat


Pineapple Fried Rice


Mussles


Sambal Kang Kong


Hotplate Tofu


Fried Butter Prawns

Steamed Fish


Fried Ice Cream

 Won't say it's like amazingly delicious. But the fried butter praws were really good! Fried so well that we just ate it with it's shells. Fish was fresh and mussles were relatively large. But for the price we paid it was definitely worth it.

Same cab driver gave a mini tour of the duty free area which I never knew existed before sending us to the customs. Paid RM120 for the 2 trips which we felt was a little steep but when converted back to SGD, it's only about $8/person, so yes still rather cheap.

And today, my boy officially drove for the first time! Hahaha so proud of him for being able to pass when almost everyone fail under that instructor. Congratulations! May you be able to drive like a pro soon!

Last day to chill tomorrow and it's time to really start studying for the sem especially when every core is so difficult! Lesigh )):

#14 Sushi Express

Tried out Sushi Express for the first time at West Gate after USS and it's really good! So good that I went back again on Saturday with Anna, just a different outlet at City Hall.


West Gate
3 Gateway Drive, # B1-26 S (608532)


City Link
1 Raffles Link, # B1-23 Citylink Mall, Singapore 039393


 Everything priced at $1.50 with free flow of green tea, wasabi and ginger. Quality was worth the price paid, unless you are that unlucky to choose something that has been on the conveyor belt for damn long. Service was not bad too. Only complain will be the lack of privacy as everyone basically sat side by side, elbow to elbow. Only suitable to go in pairs unless you are fine with sharing your conversation with strangers beside you. There are tables catered for larger groups, but very limited.

We took like 8 plates of grilled salmon belly because we were so hungry after USS and they smelled so damn good! We deem it to be the most worthy of the money paid! Tried out more varieties the second time I was there and there were more varieties too! Maybe it was because we went rather late the first time or maybe because West Gate isn't the main outlet? Was told that they do not take orders on the first visit, but on the second time, the customer beside me actually ordered for Unagi Sushi as it never appeared on the conveyor belt and the chef made a plate for him! They subsequently ordered food on the menu but requested them to be without rice. So I guess they actually do take orders??

New found place to curb the sushi craving without burning a hole in the pocket.

#13 USS!! ♥

I think I'm like the slowest person around. USS officially opened in 2010 and I only visit it in 2014 hehhhh, better late than never right. Was so excited for it as I really really really love theme parks. It has this magic that makes people happy just by thinking about it ^^ Checked the weather forecast during work the day before and was so sad to see that rain and thunderstorm was predicted ): But we are fortunately blessed because it didn't rain at all!!! Neither was it sunny wheeeeee and the queues were surprisingly short, like an average of 10 mins for every ride :) Only regret was not being able to meet the mascots I wanted to meet ): But it's okay still a wonderful day ^^


Sunlight is the best filter ever (:


Went into the park and first mascot we saw was Cookie Monster!! Too cute to resist as he was shaking his butt there and we joined the line to take a photo with him immediately!


First ride was transformers! But sadly when it was reaching our turn there was some technical difficulties and so we ended up waiting quite a while. But it's okay, at least we got the front seats and the ride was worth the wait! My optimus prime damn handsome 


Went on to the accelerator next which C was hesitant to take and gave old people's complains like how the ride makes him dizzy but noooooooooo, chin makes sure you ride it :D


Conquered the mummy, twice wheeee *pats self on the back* :)


Random selfies while queuing for treasure hunter as old man C says he wanna rest his butt. Went for rapid adventure at lost world but no photos because I was damn worried that I'll be soaked and my camera will be spoilt. USS sells ponchos at $4, we only got ours at $1 hahah what a win. The ride warns "you might be soaked" but I guess we chose the wrong seats because we were the most wet out of everyone and if not for our poncho I guess we will be soaked! But the ride was rather boring at first and the last part was quite a surprise!


Smelly wet hair ):


Le $11.50 Wanton Mee set meal at the Lost World, Discovery food court.


Random ride to pass time as we were waiting for the Water Show WHICH WAS DAMN FREAKING AWESOME OMG. The female lead was damn chio hahah. And they even made reference to wrecking ball and the fox hahaha. Best show ever.


Longest wait that day was probably for Canopy Flyer. Damn fun like flying through the park wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. And yes, waiting time is selfie time whoop. This is probably how we broke record of having the most photos taken that day.



Shrek 4D & Enchanted Airways at Far Far Away. Most chill roller coaster in USS.


If only the castle was mine )':


Tiptoeing not because I want to okay -.- Just right before the photographer took it the guy in the mascot (I suppose so cause he used so much strength) suddenly hugged damn tightly and kind of lifted his hands up, so I was forced to tiptoe or I would have fell lolllll


Omg churros I lurb you guys so much. :')


Spaghetti Space Chase was such a magical ride! Especially the outer space region hehe. Was in awe and so excited I didn't listen to what the story was about at all


From 180cm peeps pov. Lights Camera Action was damn cool too! So damn amazing how everything seems so real.


Can I have your figure please )':


Thanks for making it such a wonderful day! And for taking care of kid-like me hehe ♥
