Studying everyday but still progress is slow... Hopefully it all works out. Only a few days left for the holidays. 

and here

So egggcitteedd to check out the exhibit! Plus we had a guided tour and got to learn so much more!


Photography is not allowed in that exhibit which explains the lack of photos.
Our ticket allowed us to visit the dino exhibit also so we just went for fun







Credits to weihan for the awesome selfies hahaha


#flashback friday

We recreated my winning shot at canon photomarathon 2012 hahaha got judged and stared at but who cares. Thanks weihan for this shot! It looks even better in fish eye! If only I have such equipment...

Throwback to CPM 2012 here is moi with my winning shot lol


Since we were in town and didn't know what to eat for lunch, I suggested going for Ah-loy thai for affordable thai food which I have been craving for since 5eva. This restaurant is the one that went on tv and is named "Best Thai Restaurant" by lady iron chef!

The interior is plain and simple. Good for us that it wasn't crowded at all so we stayed for quite a while.




Tom Yum Seafood Soup $7.90

It's a really big pot of soup so you might wanna consider sharing. Nobody wanted to share, so I had to finish it on my own :O  I know I know, growing fatter right. I was so full I couldn't possibly eat dinner lol. It isn't too spicy so not to worry about that. In fact, I think it's at just the right level. And boy, were the prawns fresh yuummmss

Pineapple fried rice $7.50

It doesn't look super appetising but it sure packs a punch! Savoury and fragrant, it's all I could ever ask for in pineapple fried rice... mmm craving for it now. You won't go wrong with pineapple fried rice, that's for sure.

Yes, I finished the 2 dished by myself, very very very slowly of course. Glutton HAHA won't deny it. I was super indecisive because I knew I wanted to try these 2 yet I was sure I couldn't finish and nobody wanted to share... so I took a while to decide and finally I just went ahead to get both since I was already there.

It's been all sorts of impromptu fun times out with my best impromptu and spontaneous (not chem pls, I've had enough of it haish) buddy Mun! Couldn't have asked for a better buddy like her. Actually we haven't talked since primary school which is forever... Somehow or rather we just didn't hand out after primary school. But when we met up, it was as though we travelled back in time? Cos we talked and talked like before, my long-lost friend haha. Even though we've both changed so much over the years, and yet we're still the same? HAHA I don't know how to explain it but yeah it is what it is. It was great to catch up and listen to all the stories I've missed out on over the years! 

Our first meet-up (we've been meeting up a lot ever since!) was to go catch the ilight@Marina [http://www.ilightmarinabay.sg/] which was in... March LOL. Sorry mun, now then upload the pics ><

We ate at Nandos' which was okay I guess, typical western food lor. Their signature dish is their peri-peri chicken. When I think of "peri" I think of Perry the Platypus from Phineas & Ferb haha too gross. 


They have their own blends of sauces so you might wanna try those out.




We spent so much time eating and talking, by the time we went to Marina it was pretty late and the place was so huge and the installations would be switched off by a certain time. Plus, I got lost and brought us to a different place. So we walked for ages before reaching just ONE installation before everything was switched off. so lame right -_- HAHA too stupid already...





We couldn't find our way around so just shot some random night shots on the way 



soooo we finally reached the first installation and we were sooo excited!!! It was so colourful and interactive and there were so many hyperactive kids running about. 


 These 2 ah boys chasing each other around and tripping everywhere



Cool huh? :D
HAHA this ah boy so cute horh! look at his chubby smile hehehe

Unfortunately after this, the lights all went off....


and well, we made another trip down the following day.

Tron legacy feel right (though I've never watched the show)


This cute kid with her dazzzliinnggg toy! But she refused to smile );


ALL the children kept punching and squishing the inflated "bears/rabbits/dogs" etc. I mean they can't help it what they're kids. The staff (or volunteer?) there so poor thing had to stop the kids from having fun... and say nicely you know LOL.

This small boy saw me shooting and posed for a shot awwww QTPIE

The whole place was really crowded and packed with countless people, especially families with young children! Probably because the installations are all interesting and interactive and I can tell the kids have fun playing haha. For one, it's nice to soak in the exciting chillax atmosphere but then again it's soooo packed, and ppl keep banging into me ugh.


We were trying to take a nice shot together then these people just suddenly come in and photobomb -_- excuse me so rude plzzzz hmph

Chengmun, Me

The inflatable installations were so hipster with them glasses.

You might ask, how do photographers take proper selfies/self portraits... with a tripod duh. We placed it on the paveway and god I was so afraid some kid would bang into it and yeah there goes my camera. Luckily *no cameras were harmed in the making of the photos* LOL














Tbh this is my favourite one out of the collection. The colours, textures and curves. And the fact that it was hung atop a field where everyone was just relaxing at.




I couldn't tell when the timer was gonna go off so I just laughed stupidly HAHA



Being stupid and crazy as always~!
Thanks for all the stupid crazy adventures hahaha more to come
