新年新动向，2013会以健康为重，儿子的学业为主，至於博客不得不慢下来，妳看看我最近做事慢半拍，到访比以前迟了就知道咯。不过不要紧啦，就重要是有心，迟就迟些，是不是？假期拍了很多照片，妳们当中有些朋友已经看过了，现在就跟其他的朋友分享一下。

I try not to say too much but showing you some of the photos which we took during our recent trip to Singapore.  It has been 12 years since I last landed my feet in Singapore and I still like this country very much.

During our stay in Singapore, we went to Sentosa Island up to 3 times because the children love it and there are many things to see and play as well. 

Transportation:Light rail from the top floor of Vivocity to the Sentosa Island.

Price: S$3.50

Benefits: With just paying once, it gives you the access to all the 3 stations on the Sentosa Island and a free ride back to the Vivocity.

Waterfront Station(1st stop on the Sentosa Island):

Latest attractions are the Universal Studios & the World's Largest Aquarium which only opened since Dec 2012.

Inside the Universal Studios: Catch a boat and sail through a tunnel to watch the Madagascar show. 

Tip: Photo session with the animated characters only lasts for 10 minutes, so if you see them around, move fast!

Entry Fee: We bought the tickets from our hotel, Royal Plaza on Scotts for S$202 for 2 adults + 5 year old child.  All the shows and rides are free.

Shrek's Territory: This is Princess Fiona's castle from the Shrek movie. It is also where we watched the 4D Shrek show!

Aquarium, Waterfront Station:

This is the largest aquarium in the world! You can spend a long time there, just to look at the marine life swimming from here and there!

Beach Station, the last station on the Sentosa Island

You need to catch a shuttle bus from this station to the Underwater World and to the see the dolphin and seal show.

 Found my old time favourite snack store, Old Chang Kee in the Beach Station.

这是我整个假期里最享受的时刻，没有黏身的孩子，只有几位初次见面的网友，一谈就四个小时。要不是我要赶下半场的话，相信我们肯定会谈得更久！妳们猜猜看是谁在这里？

Friends gathering. Guess who is who, hehehe! This was the most relaxing evening that I had during my whole trip as we chatted for like 4 hours without my children bothering me. If I wasn't rushing for my dinner appointment, I think we could have stayed longer, right girls?

Though the cakes and desserts look nice, it is the garlic bread that taste the best, strongly recommended by Irene(Myme)

PS: Thanks to everyone who turned up on the gathering. Special thanks to Irene(Myme) who organised the gathering for us!

Shopping time......

I bought something from Singapore which I really like and if you do like them, you can also get them from...

Daiso, Vivocity (My son said is at Level 3, anywhere, it is located at the same floor where we took the light rail to the Sentosa Island)

If you are from Malaysia, they are also available in Daiso, The Curve(top floor)

Isetan that is located closest to the Royal Plaza on Scotts Hotel. This mini board together with other things were displayed outside the bakery shop and it comes in 2 different styles. I picked this style.

~Enjoy!~
