Singapore's F1 Grand Prix

Just received a set of F1 coins that are minted in Singapore. Was given to me by my grandpa. Totally cool! They are actually given to me as a christmas present. A very early one too! :D Anyway, I really appreciate his gift. He was really thoughtful to get me such a awesome present! Many thanks, Grandpa!
There's this really nice wooden frame that surrounds the coins. Plus, there is a thick piece of glass to protect both sides of the coins. It's somethig like putting coins in a photo frame.
And there is a race car below the coins. Besides that, there is also a picture of the Singapore Flyer and the Merlion.
I really,really love it! Thank you , thank you so much, Grandpa!

Back In Singapore!

Whew! After a long 7- day holiday in Taiwan, I'm back in Singapore. I got some souvenirs for my relatives and friends. (Hope they like them) I ate some delicious food in Taiwan too. First on the list would be the "Xiao Long Bao", followed by the beef noodles, the dumplings and "Zhu Tong Fan" , which is basically rice in a piece of bamboo. I love the "Zhu Tong Fan" especially, cuz' it's steaming hot and when you crack open the bamboo(most of the time it's already cut open for you) , the aroma just wafts into your nose. Fantastic! I'm practically drooling as I type. Can't wait to taste the" Zhu Tong Fan" again. Aaah...

Below are some photographs I took on my trip:

Writing from Taiwan Day 3

Haven't written for the past 2 days in Taiwan cuz I couldn't find any internet cafes. I discovered one in this hotel I am staying at and decided to write a mini journal before I board the tour bus.
For the past 2 days, I was busy taking lots of photographs, viewing tourist attractions and so on. Taiwan is a fun and wonderful place. I love the cold weather! (Though my lips crack!)
Yesterday I am went to Yehliu. I love it. There are all these gigantic rocks and the seabreeze is wonderful.
Got to pen off for now!

A trip to Sentosa

I went to Sentosa yesterday and had a whale of a time! Let me narrate my experience to you. But first, I will construct a timeline and from it, you will get to lnow the general idea of my whole trip. Then I will write about some attractions and finally, include some pictures on the trip.

12.20p.m.-finished final preparations for the trip

1.36p.m.-reached Vivocity, queuing up to buy tickets to board the monorail to get to Sentosa(Long queue, it being a glorious Sunday)

---------------------------Sightseeing and going for rides---------------------------------

6.22p.m.-dinner at "Tastes of Singapore". (Nice ambience) Already bought tickets for the 8:40 show of "Songs of the Sea" or "Hai Zhi Song" in mandarin.

8.40p.m.- show starts.

9.10p.m.-show ends. FABULOUS! (the show, I mean)

-------------Queue up to buy tickets for the monorail ride back to Singapore--------------

9.44p.m.-reached Vivocity. Having supper. Ate Fried Hokkien Mee and drank "Anything (Black)"

10.22p.m.-finished eating meal. SUMPTUOUS!

End of timeline

  • Songs of the sea-For the kids and family
  • Tiger sky tower- For those who like taking photographs
  • The Merlion
  • Merlion walk
  • Sentosa Luge and skyride-A "must try"!
