Just last week alone, I went to Vivocity THREE TIMES. And, my point is that I live nowhere near Harbourfront!
Right. So, the first trip on Tuesday was intentional because I was supposed to meet Vithiya (who never fails to make me very gullible). We walked around, I bought my sandals, and we went to watch a movie!
THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM!
You know I'm seriously quite dumb. All along I thought this film was in chinese cause well, you know, the main actors are Jet Li and Jackie Chan so I really really thought it was in chinese and felt quite apologetic to Vithiya and even asked her if there would be subtitles. And it turned out to be an english film.
HOW DUMB CAN I GET. I've seen the poster umpteen times at JE MRT Station and the english title was always larger than the chinese caption! I guess some things just don't register, or refuse to.
Anyway, the movie's rather good, I like Jet Li making a replica of himself. I can't pluck a strand of hair from my head, blow it, and see another me right in front of my eyes, but he could! In the show! And it took me so long to realise that the old man was Jackie Chan and the Monkey God was Jet Li. All that white hair and the golden brown hair on their heads and faces confused me. The fighting scenes were good! And even though I think some parts of the storyline were absurd (it is a story after all anyway), the movie's still worth catching. :D
Yes so that was my first trip there.
My second trip there was on Thursday with my mum, dad and some of my relatives. That was when I realised I prefer Jurong Point to Vivocity. (:
My third trip there was on Saturday (2, 4, 6 how nice!) before some of us headed to Keith's place for a really under-sized class BBQ. 13 people showed up, though better than nothing.
And Xin Yi, I do emphatise with you for the poor Spongebob that took a swim in the ehhh... Keppel waters.
So before adjourning there we met at Vivo and did the usual walking around. And when we got to The Caribbean we waited for a good hour before there was fire and food, not that I'm complaining because...
THE CARIBBEAN IS SUCH A NICE PLACE TO LIVE IN!!!

I apologise for the lousier quality photos because they were taken with my eh 2.0 megapixel camera phone. What can you expect right? But I still love Sony Ericsson. (:
It's like some high class resort okay! Even the toilet is so pretty!

Look at the tiles! My favourite colour and its different shades!

What you see is Keppel Bay! I'm sorry but my picture doesn't do the view any justice. I'm a big fan of great views and scenery but my equipment is not very co-operative. :( The ambience there is... AAAAAAHHHHH.

The background was good but since it was pretty dark already it was hard to get a full photo with a nice background. We repeatedly experimented with night mode, flash and what not. Ling, Jo, Vit, Me :D
Oh yes let's go back to talking about The Caribbean.
When the 4 of us were taking a stroll we peeped into some houses on the ground floor. Do they live in fantasy lands or what? Their houses are themed and nice and pretty! And they have pent-house apartments which we can only look up to but not look at. And they also have roof-top terraces which are of course, out of bounds. :(
Such a nice place to live in and it's so huge! And they have like multiple pools and the clubhouse building itself is like what, 3 stories if my memory doesn't fail me? Even though the weather was humid, meeting up with ex-classmates and taking a stroll in such a nice place made up for it. (: And I'm rather glad I went for this having missed the previous one.
I realised it's quite fun to barbecue, to brush oil on the uncooked food, to flip them from back to front, and the greatest joy is, of course, doing it with your friends because that's where the fun comes in, working together to make the uncooked food edible. (:
In continuation with my previous post, I've also been offered a place in FASS, NUS, and I've decided that I'm going to pursue geography, and forsake the very political and formal business world.
One big motivation for my decision for NUS is that I can sign up for LPP and learn KOREAN and maybe get to go on an exchange programme to South Korea!
So exciting!
There's Lotte World, Teddy Bear Museum, The Coffee Prince Coffee Shop and many many other places to go to in Korea. I'd even get excited upon arriving at Seoul Incheon International Airport! Just because it's my first step to Korea, yes! And even if I don't get the chance for the SEP, I still can learn Korean. (: And that's like my dream (which I was too lazy to realise and too broke to pay for) for the past 2 years!
Other than that, of course, is that through geography I can be and will be exposed to more of God's wonderful and fascinating Creations through the physical component. And I am very sure that in everything that the Lord wants me to be taught in, He will provide both spiritual and practical lessons for me.
The good thing about NUS is that I have friends and church friends there! The battle won't be so lonely (:
