Fun Time in Singapore

Singapore, I called her an artificial city, beautiful and elegant.

First day upon arrival at the Changi Airport, we got the Singapore map in hand, took the MRT, bus and then "jogged" to the hotel... early morning in Singapore... our Ms. Dashing was drenched...

Then we learnt one thing, jotted down the bus number at the bus stop in front of hotel...

We visited a few places for tourists... crowded with people... "people mountain people sea"...

Hmm... thinking where to go?

Honestly, food in Singapore were "so so" only... may be because we were tourists... but you can find everything you want here... "commercially available" fried koay tiao, oyster omelette, chicken rice, bak kut teh.... most food courts in the city were fulled and you have to eat faster (and just forget about taking pictures) as the next customer would stand beside staring at you "hungrily"...

Merlion Park... famous land mark for Singapore...
Definitely must drink this holy water from Merlion

Take your time, capture everything you want... but don't forget to put on sun block...

DSLR for sales?? Seems like business not good...

The third hand...

Art exhibition and the street artist... lol

Thank you for offering seat to those who need it more.... such as pregnant women...

Indian Temple... It's closed but a lot tourists were taking pictures... hmm... is it unique??

Public phone...

China Town in Singapore...

Night scene in Marina Sands Bay...

Drinking at Acid Bar... only for the grown up...

The next day, heading to Universal Studio Singapore... and this is the main reason all the way here to Singapore...

You would turn into kids again in USS... Transformer, Far Far Away, Madagascar, Jurassic Park, Mummy... and more...

Fun time, fun places with fun mates... hahaha :D

An Afternoon With Myself

This is the place wasn't in my plan, but end up I spent the whole afternoon, sitting, looking at the sea and pondering...it was such a beautiful moment all alone...

Looking at the speed boat... people rushing here and there everyday... 

Every time someone ask me, what's occupying me? I would struggle a little while...hmm...

Then another question come across, what do I really want in my life?

Okay, then the afternoon over...

 Alright, this is the best travel's mate...

Guilin Part 3: Must See

李白：
两岸猿声啼不住
轻舟已过万重山

With monkeys' sad adieus the riverbanks are loud;
My skiff has left ten thousand mountains far away
(Google translation)

Guilin Part 2 - Feng Shui and Landscape

Guilin is said to have a very strategic location based on feng shui perspective. Over the centuries, Guilin has been the "feng shui location" for debut of king or great leader. It was said to be the cohesion of all goodness. The king Lu was once meditate and found peace here..then he subsequently overlord the dynasty...while in most recent history, it was said that not even the Japanse missile in WW2 could hit the place...  I don't know how true the stories told by the tour guide but the greeny and freshy landscape did make me feel good here..

The running water was symbolizing prosperous...

The path that King Lu was once walking...I guess so...

The five happiness pagoda which built strictly according to the dimension of Feng Shui...

This echo wall was specially built in a curve...you can hear the "reply" from the wall and so your wishes would come true...

There was a wall molding the standard appearance of people during Dynasty Tang...the perception and evolution of human body shape has been seriously deviated...

"Opps...my butt is not big enough!"

Guilin Part 1 - The local life and food

Used to hear that "桂林山水甲天下" which means the best scenery under the roof of sky is located at Guilin...and this time, I have finally able to witness her beauty myself... However, don't hope too much on their food...

Guilin is considered a very recent developed city with well planned... as I saw, the residents here mostly riding motorbike, electrical bike, public transport or walking... environmental friendly...

The streets were broad and well decorated with plantation...people were walking quickly but drive slowly...young girls make up very nicely but talk loudly...

Still people washing clothes at river side? or just demonstrating to us on how people wash clothes in old days?

Then we have this fresh water fish from the river that aunty washed clothes...

Fried lotus roots and mushroom were very special as I never ate before...delicious but very oily...as can see the shinny reflection on the pictures...

Chicken was very skinny and rough...I guess it was the villages' poultry...

Bird soup with herbs...Chinese love herbs soup...can enhance body strength and health?

Despite, Guilin is famous of this fermented bean curd...and really must try...very good taste especially eat with plain porridge...

Chinese here also love to drink...and their beer is almost three times cheaper than in Malaysia...

But come to breakfast, I kinda miss "nasi lemak"...the pictures would tell why....

Four star hotel...

And the service crew like to play "hide and seek"...
They enjoyed the food served on table too...just take and put into mouth...

Well...the most familiar things here was...
McDonald's...

 Why no Ladies' Day half price promotion??

We walked around the lake and also night market...even 2 am still crowded with people...

Musical fountain...

 Bridge made of glass...

 I guess this is the only historical building here...

 Busy junction...

 7-11's pinky sister??

 The night market...

 All sort of braised...

 Durian...

 Watsons's surname is "wat"...

Shoes brushing service...

Pretty Chinese girl....
