Newater, Sentosa, Underwater World, Ion Orchard Opening

10/10/09 Decided that this week we'll break out of the usual boring stay-at-home/go shopping malls and make a trip to Sentosa for the first time ever in the 4 years that we've been here :) And whats a trip to Sentosa without making a trip to Underwater World? :) Comes bundled in with a visit to the dolphin lagoon so was kinda still okay for the price
Fishies! And some big ass lazy white shark-like/sharks fishes who are contented to just show you their tails

Siloso beach, me excited to be at a beach again albeit a no waves beach and kang squinting in the sun lol ;p The water was clear tho very nice :)
haha worms :)
My fave sea turtles
Siloso beach looks decent no? Just no waves -.- and no fishes -.- and no shells -.-



You can put your head inside its mouth damn huge

The week before - Went to visit the Newater plant for Kang's FYP
RO distillation process
Some stations for kiddy games
Micropores? For filtration. Overall nothing much was more to cater for secondary school kids.

Last night went for ION orchard's opening - only went there cos wang lee hom was performing haha. Had to wait agonizingly for 1 hour plus with an empty stomach cos they had fashion shows + some dragon dance first. Couldnt really see clearly also cos stood super far away from the stage - they had it all barricaded from public. Whats the use of advertising in the public newspaper when you need a VIP pass to go in?!
Lazy to upload videos of wang lee hom, caught him waving to the crowds later whilst going up an escalator :)

We then proceeded to have a pillow fight :)

yums :)

I think that somehow in the pursue of $$ and all things materialistic I've lost my sight on one super important thing that I've stressed again and again that nothing is more important than this:

Family. And Love.

Okay, that's 2 things. But yea, how much money can you fork out to buy love? or family? None, baby. None. Even if you had zillions you still cant buy a family, or love, and i mean real love, not fake gold-digger love which is so commonly found nowadays.

Now to steer myself back and remind myself constantly. Whenever you think of $$ this place seems like wow so nice but if you look at family and love this place is EMPTY. there's nothing there. It's empty. ( The click five-empty lyrics comes to mind)

When i balik rumah on certain weekends i see a dad who works in sg and goes back every weekend and his small kids (3 of them, 2 small boys like 4 5 yrs old)will always cry and tell their daddy all they want is him to not go and leave them. But duty calls and he still leaves for work anyway.

And if you think about it, would you make such a sacrifice? Your kids now are still young they will miss you and pine for you but when they are teenagers/all grown up you didnt spend much time at all you're just the fella who came on weekends ate some meals say be good and go back. Which sounds like somebody I know...

There wont be a bond. Would you sacrifice that for money? That bond that is so priceless it comes once in a lifetime and if you dont cherish it well its hard for you to get it back I can tell you that.

Would you?

working is soo much better than studying

no stress man! :)

when you start at the bottom, you see people's true colours, they dont have to be nice to you, or act nice or act anything. So if you're at the bottom you see quite a lot and learn quite a lot.
