#~ MeMorieS of you & me ~#
Ok, updated my anniversary post. Now is on.. my hani's bday celebration..
22 Sept'08
Happy 20th birthday, Wee!
Its my call, me being the event planner of the day. Stress. Cos i took several weeks before confirmed to this plan. So hopefully, you enjoyed the day =D
We actually celebrated on Sunday (21 Sept), the day before the actual. Met in the afternoon, and had our lunch at Pastamania Causeway. You tried the Carbonara, and me Tuna & Bacon. Nicenice! Got a few more stamps on my loyalty card.
Next, we head down to Boon Lay to take a bus to Singapore Discovery Centre. It’s the first time we been there, quite interesting as there are several events going on. We first bought our movie tickets (Thanks Mum, for lending me your NTUC card for discounts!) We chose the Animal show. (forgot the exact title) as it’s a package, we got a short documentary show for free. The free movie is on the cold artic, on the deer trail.
We toured around the discovery exhibition; it’s mainly on defense Singapore and the uniqueness of Singaporeans. There’s even a short video made on what makes us Singaporean. Interesting!! There are games that are played on large screen too! With me and wee definitely best team mates, managed to solve most of the games. Wee even get a chance to be a news reporter on screen. It can be recorded and play back to participants. So cute t0 see him reporting! Haha. The exhibition hall is so big we didn’t managed to explore all, but most only cos we are rushing for the 1st Animal movie.
It’s a 3D movie, where we get special glasses to enjoy the ultimate. But of cos, nth can be compared to the one me & my bestfrenZ had at Disneyland HongKong. That is best, man~!! Haha. But this is still ok lah, I tried with wee at Sentona (Cineblast) that is also better than this cos at least the chair can move. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed. =D Its an interesting show, where “we” look at the world in the eyes of animal. We were once bee, leopard, owl etc. Nice. After the movie, we went to have a look at the shooting gallery. Its rather small, and hmm.. we decided not to spend money on that.. Yes, they used real machine guns (not quite sure of the model), but shooting is in laser and just like for small kids, so Nono.
We back to the exhibit again to ‘touch-up’ on those that we have explored. After which, we went to bus the hourly shuttle-bus to SAFTI. Its actually a leisure and training purpose Army zone, we get to tour around their campus. Something like what I had at Tekong. The tour guide will explain to us the different areas, and yes, Officer Cadet School (OCS) is located there too. Hee, sry hani though its your day off we still touch on sth abt NS.
After the journey, we get to alight at an Army museum where we experience the world war season; the furniture, equipments and environment. The best part is we get to see.. hmm.. I dunno how to phrase. Its like inside a small warehouse-cum-exhibit. Suddenly, black-out with spotlight on certain military equipment and video streaming on the 360° wide-screen. As the ‘helicopter landed in the screen’, you experience big wind blowing and dust-cum-sand on the floor blowing up. When there’s booming, you can to see, feel and smell the gunshot via the fake cannon. Very interesting! Along the journey, wee also shared with me his life in camp.
Next up, we head to Raffles City and had Soup Spoon. 1st time, wee tried. I had before in T2 Transit le. Its recommended! We made it a set, wee had the mushroom, mine is minestrone. We had the rosemary chicken sandwich and tandoori chicken wrap. Yummy! As it happens to be the F1 season, when we are leaving the place, we could hear car zooming loudly! So exciting! Was praying the next destination could hear too. (will explain later, read-on)
Finally, the last destination of the day. It’s a full-action packed day actually cos time is running out with the long traveling time. We reached Clark Quay, walked along the Singapore River, and clever you! Know what we are doing next. Bumboat ride! Actually, I planned for the Hippo Boat, new modern version of the Bumboat. But cos is the F1 season, it closes early and the timing I went is only for those with the F1 tickets. Good Job! Now, we have to walk walk around. Everything run smoothly, now that this issue came up. Nevermind, we went to the traditional bumboat service. Bought our tickets and here we come! Nice, romantic and educational trip around.
The bumboat went to the Merlion, and oh my! The spectators for the Grand Prix are a lot, with day-light spotlight on. Very bright, tried to take some pictures but with the handphone camera, the spotlight is too bright to handle. Was hoping to here the zoom-zoom sound, but … yea, except those that wee made to comfort me, is nth. Haha. Very nice ride though, cos can see the preparation of the Grand Prix in another angle. After which, then I know why, cos the qualifying round has started!! It actually starts when we alight the boat, so we board too early le. I didn’t know that until the actual one.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention about my gift. Bough wee this facial kit (picked by me) got BodyShop Tea Tree gelstick, Loreal facial cleanser and mask. With Vit C and Tea Tree, so is good for the skin. Hope you like.
Muack!! Happy birthday, love*
