    Truly Uniquely Singapore


    Yesterday was RAINY FLYER/FIREWORKS DAY!

    Yupyup. I woke up super early in the morning because I was like coughing non-stop. I think my allergies came back. I had a really hoarse voice for like 3 hours before the coughing eventually stopped. Then everyone woke up and was totally surprised that I was up so early because I usually am the last to get up. ;D I'm not a weekend morning person kay!

    Our Flyer ride was at 6 but we left the house at 4.30! My parents wanted to get there early so as to not meet with a traffic jam and we wouldn't have to wait like 3 hours for a parking lot. I got some shut-eye in the car because we had to drive all the way to Marina and the back seat area was really warm. So we arrived at the Singapore Flyer Center one hour early. We went for some shopping! We went to this shop called iemeno paris. They sell modern pieces with kimono fabrics. I bought a tank top while my sis bought a shirt. Supposedly, my sis thinks my arms look really really fat and flabby in that tank! Rawr! Anyway it was hand-painted and was designed after some kimono. My mom bought little trinkets that had kimono fabric enclosed into them. They were really really pretty! But my mum didn't allow me to get any because my shirt was way too expensive already.

    So after that, we went onto the flyer! Wow, once you get higher and higher, it really seems to scary me! It's like the barrel rotates to keep the whole thing straight as we move. As long as you are still, you can actually see the whole thing moving and rotating which is really scary! But the view is AWESOME! Well, if the IR was completed then it would be even more AWESOME! Right now, it just looks really brown.

    After 30 minutes, we went out to have dinner at some restaurant called Bistro Senso. It has really nice italian cuisine there too. And they have a unique way of preparing a bruschetta. But its 10^100 more times better than our schools one. Although their cheesecake is a little too rich for my taste. The creme brulee was fabulous! The caramelised sugar on top gave it crunch while the soft gooey custard below gave it texture. AH! THE JOY :D We took really long for dinner because the fireworks were only starting at 9. I think we took around 1 hour to eat?

    Next up were the fireworks! The showcase was from Korea and is world renowned. Wow but it really was spectacular. I mean, you gotta see it to believe it. They had light visuals ans dramatic music, although at one section they played "Da Chang Jin". That gave me the creeps as I have the whole series at home and my sister loves watching it so everytime I hear that music, I'll go hide in my room! I'm like really sick of it now. It was ONLY good for O-N-E time.

    Then after the fireworks, they had performances by Live The Dream contestants, Cats in a Cradle and the comedian from New York, Jason Escape. AH! LOVE IT ALL!

    Ok enough of me babbling! Shall upload some pictures.
