HELLO . SNAKE-Y

When I past through the back door, I saw a freaking half metre black snake slided through beside me and it went beneath my wooden cupboard crack! It scared the hell out of me. The reason is some of my neighbours was attacked by venomous snakes before and trust me they suffered for a long time if they did survive... and normally their bitten scar looks horrid as most of the flesh need to be cut of or it will be fatal to the body.

I ran out and come back with a worker and a maid. Each of us holding a big wooden stick and a mosquito spray. according to my villagers, using REALLY STRONG mosquito spray such as BAYGON can really kill them, and make sure when u kill hit on their head... well 3 of us really scare actually, and surrounding the old wooden cupboard, we spray, and hit and shout, almost used up all the technique to get the snake out... but failed... and my workers thought I was joking =.=...

So after 15 minutes of failure techniques, my maid need to clean up the mess. When she was sweeping beneath the wooden cupboard, she sweep out the snake!!! but again the snake slide back into the crack...So this time, we sort of formed a proper formation (this sounds like some serious football formation, lol but hey it is serious matter here!), my worker stand on the table with this big cangkul stick, while my maid and I were standing on the chair, each holding a stick and a spray...while I keep spraying my maid crack out the hole making it larger using the stick, suddenly the snake slide out again, once it was out, we hit the snake together but only my worker who was standing on the table hit it's head precisely using the cangkul stick... BANG! AND HERE IT GOES DIE! phew... and of course, to make sure it REALLY REALLY die, we chopped it into several parts, put into a plastic bag n said "bye bye" into the dustbin...

and one thing I found out, I dun think the mosqito spray really works because almost the whole BAYGON spray had been used up and still the snake din come out from that crack...maybe it does make it weaker but I dun think it will bring fatal to it...

IT'S . SINGAPORE!

staying in the village for weeks without going anywhere during vacation is driving me insane... So, since some of my friends and relative are in Singapore, I was suggesting my mom to go there to have grasp some SINGAPORE AIR (I know this is a bit inappropriate term to use here) and so we did and we bought the Singapore bus ticket a day before the trip...We took the night bus and took like 8 hours or so to get to Singapore and it was around 5 am in the morning when we got there... and it was definitely not the best idea to wake our cousin up to fetch us in the station but we have no choice... haha sorry cousin... we were dead tire when we were home... but at the same time I was freaking panic because my mom din activate roaming so I can not contact any one's hp which I promise them to... and I fall asleep!!!

woke up in the morning and it was like 9 a.m. and it was the time I supposed to be waiting at the mrt station for Cheryl and Li Hua but I was still in bed... panic and called them using house phone... mana tahu, they also woke up late...=.=" ( archi. students always never make it on time :P)

So, the first stop, we went to Mariana Barage, one of the Singapore Iconic building, built to control the flooding, and as a fresh water reservoir it was also a lifestyle attraction, I love the sleek curves that goes shapes the building, creating a huge central void public space... and it's definitely got WOW factor on it...
The huge 9 form creates a internal courtyard void space in the centre which looks amazing.
the interior spaces... all are like digitalizes which is kinda cool.at the rooftop of Mariana Barrageat the roof garden, and it was kinda weird that we saw lots of Singaporean get their skin tanned?

there was a long story on the bottom pictures because it took us so long to get the process of jumping pictures taken... and the person who took it felt a bit sien because we kept telling her that it wasn't that good just yet, until the final shoot... the reasons are as below....
this show fail because Cheryl right hand chopped of..this one fails also because the pictures stops here and we have not even jump yet...
after really trying hard of several attempt... we finally got them right...

at the ramp down from the roof garden.

next stop at Vivo City which I thought nice but i felt that the interior is kinda messy but the spaces are flowy...

I kinda love the green waves that sort of wrapped around that soften the hard edges...
randomness of the escalators arrangement on each floors
next we had our lunch in the Vivo City food court, and according to Cheryl this Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee is the best... and well actually it taste out kinda good but not perfect...
at the Vivo City front facade... dun really like the spongy facade detail because its bit rough...=.= but from far the overall look nice...

after that we rushed to Singapore National Museum, but we end up in the MRT station waiting the rain to stop... but the stupid rain was f***ing long, we walked to the museum in the drizzling rain...
love the triple height space...and the huge screen the projects anyone who walk in front of it... a reflection our own in a different view pointwe are really lucky today because there is a Vitra interior exhibition on today... and I love this among all the other exhibition items, it's like u can sit, lean and do all kind of stuffs everywhere and there is no single flat plane, it's an thoughtful design...
We leave the musuem at around 6 or 7 .... and we go for the second round of Singapore cuisine... and thsi time we had it opposite Clake Quay... too bad we are not rich enough to have it in CQ, but anyway my cousin said that the foods there aren't that nice, so it's okay~ (this is a good way to console myself) the most pissing off part is that that day it rained 2 times, and the second rain was really long... and heavy. Thus it left us no choice but to wait at the shopping mall opposite CQ... and we did lotza pictures... which we love...
the stupid rain left us no choice but to walk under the rain to The Esplanade, using the shopping mall pamplets as our temparary umbrella... we are that kesian...the night wouldn't be better by ending it with a picture with the two temporary Singaporeans, Cheryl and Li Hua
my leng lui momand with my cousins.

the next day I sort of hang out with my mom and cousins together and try different cuisines in Singapore...

Apart from the stupid rain this was definately something sweet before I go back to UK... thanks to everyone that make this happen, and I needa say sorry to all that I can't make it to meet u guys, but it was just too rush, and I still love you guys much xxx
