After enjoy the Singapore Flyer, we went to Esplanade by bus again to our next destination, Esplanade. Esplanade is a theatres on the Bay sits on prime waterfront land by Marina Bay, and offers a complete lifestyle experience - dining, shopping, and the performing arts. Not to mention, it was a great spot for photoshooting as well =P

After that, we walked to Merlion Park from Esplanade. The scenery was great around there and we saw someone actually took wedding pics at there...wow..

We reached Merlion Park after 10~15 min walking distance. The unique of this park was the statue. If i not mistaken it was Lion + Mermaid status..no? correct me if i m wrong.

After 30~40 mins chilling around and for the refreshing air, we moved to our final destination by bus, Bugis Street! Yay! I know this is girl lover street, but not for me..i m too poor to shop anyway..haha..but to be honest i saw alot t-shirt with cool looking design. too bad, i need hold my money tight tight...XD

Their MRT service is fast and way better than Malaysia..opss...plus, their escalator was installed high speed program? it accelerate damn fast and cause me almost fall down for few times =X

Continued from 400th post SPECIAL EDITION : Singapore Trips Day 2 - Indulge in the Uniquely Singapore experience : Mint Museum of Toys & Raffles Hotel.

Around 3.30pm after visited Raffles Hotel, we gathered again and moved to our next destination by bus, Clarke Quay. Before we able to walk around Clarke Quay, we visited Singapore Royal Selangor Pewter Museum. I nv knew Singapore do have Royal Selangor Pewter as well -__-..oh well, i seriously enjoyed it because i never been there b4, not even in KL 1..hahaha

Well, we are given chance to look at all their great art and as well the working environment.

The most surprise was, under Royal Selangor sponsor we are given special class doing our very own hand making pewter bowl with our name or whatever words on it. We are given a basic tool such as hammer, nail (with alphabet on each), a round pewter and a wood that got curve shape on it (allowed us to make d curve shape on d pewter).


* Me & Jeremy, on apron *

* Hammer & Pewter..LOL *

* Knock Knock Knock.. *

* Wash it after finished *


After around 30 min lesson, all of us GRADUATED! YAY!! All of us done with our bowl and received a cert from there. Cool rite? hahaha...so whoever wan bowl can consider to hire me =P


* Graduation ceremony... *

* FML..kenot c my name on d bowl T___T *

After everyone done, Josh arrived (he attended the 2nd batch lesson on Selangor Pewter) and joined up wif us. We took bus to the next destination, *jeng jeng jeng*, SINGAPORE FLYER!! YAY! I reli excited and wanted to sit on it! A very random question, Singapore Flyer and Eyes of Malaysia, which bigger @_@?


* Singapore Flyer *

* Camwhore wif it =P *

Thanks to Nuffnang sponsor, we get to ride Singapore Flyer for free! One "basket" of the flyer can occupied roughly 30 ppl. WOW! So damn cool rite? Plus, we get to enjoy the view of Singapore Marina Bay. I bet the scene will look nice if we are going on right time, which is sunset.
