Singapore Zoo

It’s really a fine zoo, our Zoo Negara sucks big time if you ever been there. Besides seeing the animals, we also watched some of the animal shows. They were interesting and contained moral values. We enjoyed a lot. :)

DSCN0904   

Spot a naughty elephant trying to steal food from his master.

Guan Yin Temple

Many people visit to this temple because they believe the divination by Guan Yin is very accurate. I had a try too. Haha.. They have the interpretation book in both English and Chinese version. How considerate..

I got a Lot 2 – A baby whale is dependant after birth. When it is in full growth, it becomes independent and roam the ocean. Here’s the interpretation, it’s a medium lot – Be patient. Act when you are capable. Success will follow.

Accurate or not? I think this piece of advice is quite useful to me. Haha…

DSCN0920

We were given some free time to shop around the area.

The Merlion symbolizes Singapore. Here’s a joke. Does the Merlion’s father a lion and his mother a fish? haha.. This joke was from the Merlion himself in a short video in the Discovery Centre.

The entire Marina Bay Sands is not only this small. The project is not yet finished, it will be completed estimately in year 2015. This casino is the world’s second-costliest, developed by one of the world's biggest gaming companies, Las Vegas Sands.

day 1-Merlion Park, River Cruise, Marina Bay

Oh man.. Those are LIMITED EDITION!!!!

         DSCN1060     See me? haha….

 

DSCN1067

I think I can spend three days three nights there after it’s done!

   DSCN1070

Too dark lah….

That’s the end of the first day tour. Gosh, took me whole day to complete this post. There are two days more.. shit! I’m so lazy to edit those pics now…. =.=

Oh, forgot to show you our hotel. We stayed in Fragrance Hotel – Crystal for two nights. It was located at Geylang next to the prostitutes centre only…No kidding ok? I don’t know why the tour company booked this hotel for us, maybe it’s cheaper. We can see the entire row of prostitution when we stepped out from the hotel.

GeylangDSCN1087

Although it looked not safe but trust me, Singapore’s  public safety is a lot better than in Malaysia. (I still felt unsafe actually because people kept looking at our way when we pass through) Thanks to those legal prostitutes, the rate of raping case in Singapore is quite low.

The service of the hotel was just so so. The bed was a bit hard, the blanket was so small hardly enough for two persons (it was a double bedroom), and they didn’t give us morning call as promised! The only thing I’m satisfied about it was the hot water for bathing. haha. Better search for other better hotels in Singapore next time..

DSCN1082

Shell station at the junction. The price of the petrol in Singapore.

Continue to Universal Studio on the second day.
