So much had happened around me recently (the key word: around me and not to me). And I am in no mood and have no rights to write them down. So, I will post my China photos as promised, and write about my Singapore trip during the November Holidays.

Few weeks after I returned from Yunnan, me and my sister went to Singapore to spend some time with our Singapore cousin (She was the one who made me promise to write about the Singapore trip in my Blog).

And so, without the grown-ups around to nag at us (basically my family are the ones who nag, they are extremely protective) and the excellent transport system (Singapore’s MRT is damn convenient, unlike the public bus system in Malaysia, they are never on time), we venture out to have fun.

Finally, I have the chance to visit the Science Centre! However, it was not what I thought, not everything are interesting, most of them are just educational with lots of explanations. One of the thing that I remember and is interesting is the chamber which is able to capture our shadows, another is the harp without any strings (it work on sensor, I think), all the special appliances that is used to measure our heart beat (they are in the form of a drum or a thingy which is able to produce music, my heartbeat is the fastest among we three), and a robot which plays the electronic guitar when someone walk past (my brother would be so excited if he saw that). Other than that, I can’t remember anything much. The fact that my cousin and my sister are walking so fast didn’t help, I don’t even get to properly take a look at the exhibits. My cousin told me that somewhere within the Science Centre, there is a place where we could play X-Box (I think so) but she doesn’t know the place. I have a sneaking feeling that she don’t know all the fun stuff are, but still, her efforts of acting as the tour guide was much appreciated.

Then I kept pestering my cousin to bring us to Orchard road, because it is the place of happening (at least in Singapore). But my main purpose was to visit the bookstore, I could never remember its name, maybe it is Kunokoniya. They sell loads of comics down there, and the interior design of the bookstore is something I like very much. While most bookstores only consist of rows and rows of shelves with tones of books, this bookstore have some accessories on display. The last time I visited the bookstore, a set of tarot cards were displayed, and man, they are so beautiful! ^0^ This time though, I didn’t have the chance to properly look around, my cousin and my sister kept asking me to leave. It seems I am the only one who know the joys of being in such a nice bookstore... *sob sob*

The next day, we went to Jurong Bird Park. Since it is a bird park, of course, we saw lots of birds, and I still like the eagle the most! There is a lane where lots of eagles perch on the stands, they are not in a cage, but their claws are tied to the stands, so there is no danger. One of the eagle attempted to fly when it saw us, but it couldn’t. Thank god... Although eagles are one of my favorite types of bird, but I would definitely hate being eaten by one...

Then we watched the bird show. My expression throughout the show was like this: =_=
My cousin and my sister were quite thrilled about it, but still, they noticed my bored expression. I told them I enjoyed the show, but I don’t exactly need to show my enjoyment on my face, right? Furthermore, the show is predictable. Not boring, just predictable...
Then I pester them to go to the house of night birds, but we just couldn’t find the place within the bird park. I was walking very fast, but my cousin and my sister were tired and walking very slow. My cousin was commenting that I look so dead in the show, but now I’m actually so hyper.

We manage to locate the house of night birds, and it was well worth it, not because of the owls in it, but because there is air-conditioning! Nothing else is better than a cold surrounding when one is hot and bothered.

Than I start pestering my cousin again to buy ice-cream, because I have a craving for it. We got a tub of ice-cream from the grocery store, and tones of stuff needed for cooking dinner.

I think my cousin would be satisfied now that I typed out this blog entry... but then again, she might kill me because I grumbled a bit up there... Whatever it is, my promise to her is now fulfilled.
