Happy Birthday Qi!
Her party was at Cool Deck at Siloso Beach. Pretty woman!She's just 2 days younger than me, but her party was a day before mine. Now waiting for the third dragon's birthday, so that we can all go out and spend loads on food again haha.
Dearie and I went to Sentosa again a few days laterr. We didn't do much there, primarily because it was too damn warm to do anything. But we walked around slowly, in cooling pink clothes. Looking like tourists complete with camera in hand. And of course, the touristy photos that we took while being there. While the day was still light anyways.
Aha! Pirates of the Carribean you think?
Nope it wasn't! We went on the 4D ride, I think it's called the extreme log ride, and we had to wear these glasses. The moment we entered the waiting hallway, this annoying "Pirate" greeted us in his motley ways, and taught us how to sing pirate songs. =.=
While the ride was nothing short of predictable, I have to say that some of the effects were still good. But it's nothing compared to those simulating machines you have at the Singapore Discovery Centre. Remember those? You get to sit in one because you went there on a field trip, and the machine brings you through this coal mine, and you were jerked up and down left and right and upside down, with brilliant accompanying visuals.
IF you have a little more cash to spare, do go for the Desperados ride instead. With the hype that it generated when it opened a few months back, I reckon that would be money better spent.
We also went onto the Skyride (the one at the Luge area) and took a harrowing ride down the hill. For fear of my Birks dropping down into the realms of the unknown, I took them off and placed them on the bench, riding, yes, barefooted. Then fumbled to put them on before we had to hop off the bench again. I don't want to get my backside whacked by the flying bench!
What was really scary was that the ride stopped abruptly, and everyone in mid-air was left swinging on the benches for at least 3 minutes. By then I think I had already started to wonder how we were really gonna get down if the mechanism is spoilt.
Then we took a slow walk down Siloso Beach, and contemplated buying beer because it was so damn warm, even though it was like 8pm. 8pm and warm on a beach?! I haven't thought that would have been possible.
Anyways, I love cable car rides. Especially at night. We took the cable car ride back to Harbourfront, stayed on it, made a round to Mount Faber and came back down to Harbourfront again. Thankfully the car was cool enough, as we were high up in the air. The sight is rather romantic. (: It may not be the same on the flyer though, where it's highly likely that you would have to share the cabin with noisy kids. There goes a romantic date plan. =.='''
Hopefully such posts suffice while I wait for my birthday pictures to come from my photographers, edit them and show them here! (:
Here's a sneak preview:
