Miss Oreos

The children from Moriah KIDS.Church were out in VivoCity giving out Oreos. Celebrating Kindness Week, the children overcame their shyness and had so much fun doing kind deeds.

Who can refuse Miss Grace's offer of Oreos?

Stairway To Nowhere

Stairway to nowhere at VivoCity. Do you know that a lot of precision goes into making an escalator? I learnt that from Discovery Channel or is it National Geograhic?

Escalators are not only useful for transporting people. They are great romancing machines. There is a mechanism that turns couples into embrace mode. Don't take my words for it, the next time you step on one, look out for the couple ahead of you.

Recommend it to your friends, colleagues and parents. On top of baby bonus, I think the government should install them in all HDB blocks to help increase ..............

Maybe, I should talk to one of my psychology friend to take this up as a PHD program. Hmmm . . . . .

Spread the love around.

Quack Quack

We all grew up with Donald. Donald Duck, that's it. How is it he managed to stay so young all these years. Did he find the elixir of life?

He is older than me.

BTW, the guy behind the Duck is really cool. He sure knows how to wiggle his bum and play around with guests.

Quack Quack.

National Day Combined Rehearsal

One early morning, beep... sms - "do you want National Day Combined Rehearsal tickets this Saturday?". Off goes my fingers "yes". Thanks to AJ Knight. We got three tickets for the Yellow sector - almost at the centre of the new Marina Bay Floating Platform. They said it is the largest in the world. Another first for Singapore.

AJ Knight, what is it like doing the Apache salute from the air?.

It is going to be a great show. Too bad, it was a Combined Rehearsal with stand ins for the people like Timsum Dollies, Asaha ................... the comperes were reading off their scripts ...... the orchestras were absent. For those who got the National Day and National Day Preview tickets. Bless you. It is going to be a great show. The EXCO did a great job.

I love the Pledge and National Anthem best.

Each time I travel, the minute I step on a SQ plane, it is just like reaching home.

Singapore. My Home.

Learn English The Japanese Way

Welcome to Japan. Let's learn English the Japanese way.

From Down Under

Here are some pics from Philip Low. Of our friends from Down Under. Together with his family, Philip was in Perth for holiday and caught up with our Mr Handy Man and his wife. He looked 'full', guessed he had really good rest instead of running around fixing our plumbing, walking dogs, troubleshooting faults..................... Looks like he will be opening a hostel soon to accomodate you guys going down under.

He's should start a website for internet booking.

(the way he grinned still the same, how come har)

Honshu Experience

Konnichiwa (hello)

We went to the Land of The Rising Sun - Tokyo and Osaka for a week on an ANA tour package. The food was a letdown. We loved Japanese food and were expecting a certain class. But it was a disappointment. In fact, the ramen stores we seek at every opportunity was so much better.

The only good food we got out of the tour package was a tonkatsu restaurant and the morning breakfast buffet in one hotel.

If you are above 16 years old, give Tokyo Disneyland a pass. They are sooooo kidish. Or maybe we got bombarded by the latest animation - Shrek!, Spiderman, Back Draft, Jurassic Park.

Universal Studios Japan(USJ) is GREAT. They had a Sesame Street parade and we ended up following them, probably the only family of four with a total age of 135 years!

USJ was FUN. Make sure you watch the Sesame Street parade. Party with Elmo, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Bert and Ernie as they sing and dance. "Cookie san kawaii desu ne!"

Spit your hear out with Spiderman ride - the Statue of Liberty vanishes! Race through the city as you try to keep up with the world's favorite web slinger in this no-holds-barred battle against the forces of evil. You'll zip around battle-worn streets as Spidey swings overhead and goes up against Doctor Octopus and an army of twisted villains. Amazing 3-D action erupts all around you when Spider-Man takes on the Hobgoblin and the searing heat of his exploding pumpkins. You'll be caught in the line of fire and live the story first-hand in the most incredible action-packed adventure ride ever ? The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man.

Cool.

The DREAM, USJ newest roller coaster is mild. Hoping to catch the ride with my digital camera, the crew asked me to remove it before the ride started. Anyway it was mild.

For the cute cutest cutesssst Peanuts and Hello Kitty planet on earth. Snoopy and his friends have taken over the Studios! Snoopy's transformed himself into a director, and you're his assistant.

Tree Top Walk

Fresh Clean Air. We spent two hours at Tree Top Walk on Vesak Day. It was a refreshing walk out in the natural habitat.

Enjoy the fresh air.
