Trip to Insect and Butterfly Kingdom !!!!!!

Sentosa Fun Pass!

Bundle of Play 3, Play 5 & Play Max

I bought Play 5 because it is just nice & sufficient for the whole day spent!

Play 3 seems too little, Play Max seems too much ( Too many to play in a day; less time!) Play 5 just fine & enough! HAHHAHAHAHAH

Fun Pass is a great choice for people who don't want to hassle & waste time buying entrance ticket to each attraction & save $!

It's call FUN PASS for a reason! FUN @ SENTOSA!!!!!
HERE WE GO!!!

Using the Fun Pass, I use it for Insect and Butterfly Kingdom~

The description on the pamphlet indicate that it is a sizeable outdoor park and a collectible museum.

I think it could be fun as I LOVE taking shots of macro stuff yayyysyz DAMN IT WAS FUN. Although not as massive as Entopia, which is really a dedicated park for bugs and insects, seeing all the little creature makes me excited kekekkeke.

So quickly head inside the indoor gallery! Tons of butterfly, beetles, dragonfly etc. "corpse" in frames and even spiders and stick insect!! Bugs and Insects that are exotic & found in the wild that I always watch on Discovery Channel TV right in front of my eyes!!

 

 

And that's the end of 1 attraction !

Stay tune for more!!

HAHAHA, But unlikely because other attractions is all activity & games & outdoor adventures so not really much documents~ Didn't go to the wax museum or trick eye because that day too tired and sweaty and don't really look on point HAHAHAHA so say kinda will waste the tickets just to go in see see - look look wheareas the main point is to pose~

 

Till Next Time Folks!

Potato: Do you still...? (Tur Young) ENGLISH LYRICS

title : do you still...? (Tur Young)
artist :potato

 

i'm stil the one who love you with all my heart
i'm still the one who is always thinking of you
i still look at our photo when we were together

 

i still wait for you to come back
i still cross the day off my calender every night
for distance is the only thing that keeps us apart

 

i've been wondering
how have you been over there?
so i'm sending you this song
just to ask how you are
do you still miss me in every single minute?
do you still remember our past?
do you still love me,
and only wait for me?
do you still feel the same as you did before?
please let me know...
i'm afraid that someone will change your mind
i'm afraid of the uncertainties
i'm afraid of being sad
so could you please wait for me?

 

i've been wondering
how have you been over there?
so i'm sending you this song
just to ask how you are
do you still miss me in every single minute?
do you still remember our past?
do you still love me,
and only wait for me?
do you still feel the same as you did before?
do you still miss me all the time?
do you still look at our old photo?
do you still love only me,
and wait for only me?
do you still have the same feelings as you did before?
please let me know

trip to chinatown heritage centre

I've the privilege to have a guided tour in Chinatown Heritage Centre. The building have a pair of red clogs located outside. To get there, simply walk straight upon exiting Exit A escalator and look left. In the 1950's the building is actually a 3 storey shop house. Now, on the first floor is actually the lobby and the admission processing; at the back is the replicate room of the olden days shop, the second floor is the replicate rooms of how the olden people lived (cramp and little space), the third floor is like a museum and collections and equipment of the olden days. Being in the building, one is able to imagine how olden people lived in real life where all the rooms are recreated by having people came forward to share their stories living there.

At the start of the tour on the first floor, as I mention early, this building is recreated from a shop house, so the starting is at the front of the shop, tailor shop to be exact, the owner is Mr. Chan. There will have the exact replica of the shop with counter, typical mannequin with standard shirt, measuring tape, color sample cloth etc. Whenever there are customers coming in, My. Chan would stand up from his chair behind the counter, greet the customer and let the customer chose the size, color, preferences and all, and sit back drink coffee. Behind the scenes, his worker of tailors do all the work. He have 2? apprentices that he paid 5$ for every month with free lodging and provide left-over food but actually signed a 2 year contract with them and the pay will be at the end of contract, so will be handed over 1 bunch because scare of running away with responsibilities and skills that is passed on.
The apprentices work include taking care of Mr. Chan baby and skill of tailor and other ad-hoc stuff.

Next part is the 2 rooms of Mr. Chan family and the apprentices. Mr Chan family actually have 7 members which have 5 young children. They squeezed in the space, and rented out the floors upstairs so that to earn extra money. Next the most behind part is the kitchen and toilet area. The apprentices cannot use the tap water because it will be chargeable every month to pay the government, so they use the collected rainwater which falls from the open window above. And there comes in the most olden days occupation, the night soil collector, whom collect the dump from the front because there is no backdoor.

Next up is the second floor, 40 people once lived there. Several family with young one or mates rent together. Ma jie whom take care of rich ang moh kids rent together but stay once in a while, because they stay with the family, when weekend or holiday they have their own room or scare of kicked out. Sam sui women aka hong tou jing work long hours and with their iconic red hat that identify them at night and as safety gear. and other families. Got one physician family stay in the master room, and have their work in the day time and night time sleep. one story is the father give away their eldest daughter away but his daughter came back because others thought she is jinx, bring bad luck. life is bad back in the days. The doctor is kind where he would give free treatment to those were poor, but everyone was poor, cannot afford medical treatment, he had less income.

Now everyone. Imagine more than 40 people goes in and out the floor walkway with customers coming in too. Had to share the toilet queue and showering too. Cannot imagine literally.

The third floor comes the interactive part, with guides of bright side, dark and hidden side of Chinatown. Yall should go and take a look. Free for Singaporeans.

volunteer

Hey there its been long.

All these while I've been hearing stuffs like this:

'CCE points already explode still go?'

'She lorh! Alot of CCE points one!'

'Collect so many got thing to take meh?'

Well all I can say is that I have completed the required CCE points needed to graduate in Year 1. It will be no meaning if I didn't participate in any activity in Year 2 and Year 3 right? The spaces will be blank and maybe people will kaypo see 'ey you didn't do anything this year ah?' It will be sort of like very active in the beginning then at the end inactive already.

So I go on and sign up for activities which can fit in to my schedule. 

In the process, I learn about NYAA which is National Youth Achievement Award. Straight away I signed up for the Gold Award which need to take part in activity in 4 categories before 25th birthday. It gave me lots of exposure, lots of activities that needed volunteers came to me but I only select that I can afford my time with.

I have done numerous volunteering. I can say that none of it is an easy-going event. Each and every event has its own easy and difficult part. Life is too. 

The events' name I've done is confidential though, but all I can say is I've done mostly running events. 

Some jobs scope that I have done: 

AWA Athlete's Welfare Area = which is mainly after the runners run finish, I have to distribute the medals and goodies. 

Water Point = which is situated in some parts of the whole run area, distribute water.

Start Point/End Point = which is to cheer the runners and guide them the way.

Route Marshal = which is situated in various parts of the whole run area, guide runners the lane.

Drink Counter = which is situated in the run festival, distribute cold drinks.

Baggage = which is mainly take care of runners' baggage

I have realized that I've used a lot of 'which is'

Through volunteering, I have seen good-side and bad-side of human nature. I could't say much of it but I think it is good. It is equivalent as travel the world seeing places and people. You get to go to different places volunteering doing stuff, getting entitlements, event t-shirt and meeting other volunteers. At the end, you got appreciation for helping out as well. 

So why not volunteer? If you like meeting people, travel around, but get to do work for others, volunteering suits you!

There is this uncle, first time volunteering in a sports event with me, ask me:

'Why do you volunteer?'

Well i answered:

'I like to. Meeting people and knowing them briefly. People come and go. You see me today but not anymore. Maybe in the future on the streets, maybe not at all.'

The best part of volunteering I guess is I can be more responsible on my job, what I do, finishing it, and that's good. It may be hard, but it will end. (that's what on my mind all the time, because i am a quitter, i quit easily, but not on volunteering, you can't just run away from your responsibility. if not it will jumble up the whole system.)

But on the side note! I GET TO MEET REAL FAMOUS PEOPLE THAT NORMALLY EXIST IN TV.

xo.
