Shopping + Sentosa = Satisfaction!!

Had lo hei with ST & XQ @ sakae as agreed last year!! We felt extremely bloated after having it. Apparently, the smallest serving size is kinda big too...& with all the sushi we had taken b4 hand, it really make us all bloated. Had dinner @ Fiesta on Fri nite with SSL, felt that fiesta serves nicer & more variety sushi, soba....ST, XQ & myself went to shop @ mphosis and got tops @ 50% off...rmb my fancl cleansing oil using up soon..gotten it with XQ to save 3 bucks when we buy 2...the auntishly feeling is coming up ops=P

On the eighth day of CNY, me, SJ & Fio headed down to the island located at the southern part of Singapore - Sentosa!

This was a trip that has been postphoned for weeks before CNY and finally it is set!! Though we had plenty work to settle over the wkend, we nit to sweat out seriously too & thus it boiled down to time-mgt minus a few hrs of slp...SJ & I reached earlier this time round & we headed off to the basement for food! SJ got a super cheesy hotdog bun which she kept praising it haha while I got a blueberry bravisso gelato. Went up to L3 outdoor deck to hve our food while waiting for fio.....& looking @ the long queue for the SentosaExpress...haha so SJ started to hve evil thots of askig fio to queue for us since she was late. Fio rched when we were just done with our snacks...so we queued 2gther & the queue was not slow actually.
Managed to accomplish 3 things there - Cycling, Luge & Flowers. We were a little offset by the dizzle when we were ready with our rented bikes...fortunately the dizzle didn't get heavier..and off we were to our 1h of bike riding. Not really used to the routes @ Sentosa, many deadends & road hazards cos we didnt follow the usual bike track..thankfully we made it back safe & sound!!!

Next up is skyride & luge=) They have either individual or combo, we chose the combo cos it is more economical @ 8 bucks & we get to try both. All three of us were short of cash...seemed that atm was pretty faraway...decided to pay using my suppl maybank visa. And surprise! The friendly tic counter staff said maybank has a special promo with them & we get to enjoy islander rates, i.e 5 bucks pax!!! Yippee it's my first time and I enjoyed both though really wish their duration can be longer....

Safety helmets for the luge that stupid me wore the other way rd & didnt realise till the caucasian tic man knock on it & told me bleh stupid...

Adorable young kids queueing in front with the oversized helmets & they wore it correctly=P

View from the skyride...worried that my cam'll drop so took a quick one=P

Finally, the finale show was the FLOWERS....colourful, magnificant flowers & mural paintings...

Post-mortem of CNY!!!!

Post-mortem of CNY!!!!

The 3rd day of CNY (初三) is usually a school day....I am glad that it is still a PH today=)
Have been feasting & feasting for the past three days since Sat....new year goodies are just so tempting right? Over-feasting has a tendenacy to give me tummy probs...so i noe all these feasting must stop today so that I can return to work tmr in tip-top condition?想想看,这几天的佳节, 让我最开心地还是年除夕夜的逛花市。我最爱在吃完年夜饭后和一家人去逛花市, 买年花。。回到家后继续欣赏倒数节目。。听起来有点孩子气,但我确实爱除夕!(haven't been using chinese to write, this seems kinda of strange, but since im in the mood of CNY so can't miss out some chinese chars=)

Really looking fwd to the lao yu sheng & sentosa trip @ the end of the week!!! I want my yusheng @ sakae as ST promises right?...I want my exercise, sun-tanning, flowers moments @ the island (",)~
