Scrolled through my entries this year and it's so pathetic I kinda wanna break down and cry lol.
Have decided to dedicate these 2 months left of 2013 to proper blogging - that means with photos AND captions lol.
However, it's hard to have an interesting and entertaining blog when you don't have a life! Haha.
So please follow my on-the-go social media platforms - i.e Twitter and Instagram.
I've left my job at Vocanic as a community manager, it was really difficult juggling a full-time job and part-time studies at the same time.
The crick in my back agrees with me.
So I'm doing ad-hoc stuff and basically hibernating at home. Reason being I've missed being at home as well. The entire year I've spent working, I'm taking these two months of the entire year to be me. Haha.
So, what interesting things have I done recently?
I went to the S.E.A Aquarium with my family!
Here're some photos of the day!
Tip - if you're entering Sentosa with a party of 4, it's actually cheaper to cab in from Vivocity as compared to taking the tram in - the tram costs $4 per person, it costs $6 - 7 for the cab ride ;)
Lunch at Pizza Hut, we were starved and decided to stuff ourselves silly before taking the train into Sentosa.
Photo with Dion - we tried to take a nice photo but the glow of the aquariums = only your silhouette can be seen. I tried to use a flashlight on our faces but we just looked like ghosts.
Of course, I'm the taller one (not)
Oooh, shark!
This was at the end of the exhibit (although it's at the entrance but we somehow managed to walk the aquarium backwards, navigated by directionally-challenged me, of course. It's a little creepy for me cos there were SO MANY of them and they were happily swimming on my head/around my head.
Of course they don't look threatening but I've watched enough B films with sharks to put me off for life.
Panoramic shot. I realized after awhile that it's the best way to take the photo. Of course, with short arms like mine, it doesn't go really far (embarrassed moment)
Part deux
We found a tank with a helpful spotlight in front so we took the chance to take photos and go "Look I'm in an aquarium!" Notice how I'm pointing at the fishes to reiterate the fact that I'm in an aquarium lol.
Nicest shot of the entire day. It was an accident, of course. Nothing good happens unless it's an accident haha. It's so pretty! IT'S POLKA DOTTED C'MON.
I took a really cute video of stingrays (okay I took a couple of vids but the stingrays were the cutest). Check them out hehe. Also, I spent 15 mins trying to get a good view of the stingrays, then walked a couple of exhibits more to discover even larger and photogenic ones. psssfht.
Enjoy the vid! Ignore the sounds it's full of tourists and idiot Singaporeans like me who visit the tourist attraction ON A SATURDAY.
Advice: Avoid tourist traps on weekends. We were so engulfed by people I kept losing track of where everyone was. Also, being short did not help me locate them.
Term 2 has started for school, the mod's called Sex and Gender in Asia and it seems pretty interesting! For the first time in tertiary education I'm going to try and focus and ace this mod. However, I procrastinate too damn much so that resolution will probably die off next week lol.
Would like to complain (sticking to my roots and being a Singaporean) that trying to see the next approaching bus at the SIM bus stop is too damn difficult. All the tall people crowd to the front and I understand that everyone just wants to get their asses home. However, even after jumping like a crazy idiot, I still can't see the bus service number of the next bus approaching!
Will someone install something for the short people?!
There is no lack of short people in Singapore! One friend actually speculated that it was cos we grew up in enclosed areas - notice how Singaporeans spend so much time indoors! Well, Singapore infrastructure, you caused it (sorta), you help fix it! Lol. I'm ranting so much simply cos I was wearing heels the other day and was transitioning between trains at Dhoby Ghaut, waiting to board the escalator when I took a look around me and realized everyone around me was either shorter than me (wearing heels, false height), or the same height as me.
SINGAPORE IS FULL OF SHORT PEOPLE.
Okay, end of rant. Ranting isn't gonna make me grow taller (I wish). Focus on happy things! Like...
Oh, I'm headed to Hong Kong with my family in December! It's been awhile since we took a vacation as a family so I'm looking forward to it haha. Also, Disneyland! Before I turn 21 (and become an adult) haha I should go to the happiest place on earth :D
Hope this long blog post has helped entertain (or at least, educate you about S.E.A Aquarium if you haven't been). Cheers!
