Truckload full of refugees?


Those were the shots taken off out outing in Sentosa at thy Sky-Ride and Luge.

We left home at around three in the afternoon, and started off visiting Underwater World. We didnt' go in to the aquarium side as it was damn packed with people and furthermore, we weren't there for the fishes. We wanted to just chill off somewhere and celebrate Aisha's birthday.

So we took the free tram, left our cars parked at the lots nearest to Siloso beach, and was heading for the sky-ride and luge as recommended by my sis Naqiah. Thankfully, she brought the brought along the tickets I had gotten from my welfare department which entitled us to discounted prices for the rides. At first we decided on taking the sky ride[the one that you just sit and they take you to the top of the island on a hanging steel bench by rail] but as the tickets which I had, it gave the ticket holder to enjoy BOTH rides. Both rides it was for each of us. Easier to stick together.

Sorry for not providing with any pictures off the sky ride. I was afraid that my phone would drop by just trying to snap one.

So on it was to the luge. It's DAMN fun. To those who have yet to give it a try, I suggest that you it a go. It's something to the go-cart at Escape Theme Park at Pasir Ris? Just that this cart doesn't run on any battery power at all. It just travels downhill using momentum. I'd give it a 4 star rating for thrill =]

We were back at the Underwater World area, wanting to try the fish spa thingy, but were turned down. They claimed that we had to book an appointment to utilise the spa. What the hell, I thought. Who would book an appoinment all the way in Sentosa just to let fish eat your skin calluses?? Might as well I just got to a nearer one that's nearer to the heartlands.



There are the photos taken when the both of us were at the Singapore flyer last year and were at a fish reflexology or fish spa. Kinda ticklish at first, but once you get used to it. It's indeed quite refreshing.

We ended our outdoor activities at the Marina Barrage. Its a man-made dam built near to the mouth of the Singapore River. Basically a dam controls the flow of the water level, which prevents the land from being "over-run" by excess water.
More info on the Marina Barrage.

I brought along my kite that I bought at Toy's R US at Tampines Mall. We attempted to take flight with it. With mother nature;s enticing winds, we thought we would be successful. We were able to have some flight with it at times here and there, but the longest time it was in the air was about 5 mins? Eh, it was a four man team okay. Naqiah at the front, waiting for a good gust of wind before throwing it into the air, followed by me steering it , then Ira "billaying" the string, and Siha the anchor-man[or girl]. Everyone was watching us alright! Watching us with much anxiousness to see our kite soar.

All those came to an abrupt halt when some fella with his imported $500/- kite from the states had to get his kite line stuck in ours. He looks like a pro kite flyer man I tell ya, maybe bcos of the kite lah. But walao, such amateur thinking, was when he purposely pulled OUR kite line just to reach his. And you know what.................. our kite hit some turbulence[turbulence seh], and crash landed... on this


Retarded right.

Never mind. Kite cost me $3.90 only.. price of errr... three prata telor?
Well I'm glad that my kite landed on Eiffel tower. It made the Singapore flyer in the backdrop looks so small like hamster cage.


A cat has nine lives. A human being does not. - Stay tuned to more on this anecdote in my next entry.
