Past few days have been quite eventful. Last Thursday went to Underwater World as there was a so called "50 percent discount" which includes a return cable car ride and a visit to the "1st ever" cable car museum. The highlight was of course dolphin lagoon as I've never been there before and I was initially very excited about seeing the dolphins and seals! I was hoping I get to take pictures with them and view them up close. To my disappointment, the dolphin and seal show only lasted for 20 minutes, showcasing the usual stuff with not much surprises. And only 2 dolphins and seals were performing, I was expecting a viewing area with more of them but the "lagoon" is just too small. The show ended with not much of a climax and we were told that we need to pay 16 dollars for a photo with the dolphin, what a rip off. Haha. Nevertheless I love the dolphins' smiles and the adorable sea lions! A good sneak peek for what's in store for me when I go Australia! :D
Underwater World is still the same. My favorites are still the jellyfishes and the magical underwater tunnel! Somehow it feels weird to be back there again as it holds lots of beautiful memories for me.
The trip ended earlier than expected. The cable car museum was crap. It is just a small room where they put all the old stuff with old newspaper articles being framed up on the walls, trying to cheat who? Haha. The cable car ride back was pretty short too with ugly sceneries of construction sites.
Saturday we had a gathering at Judy's place, having steamboat and mahjong. Felt really cosy and it was fun playing with her baby! Makes me wanna have a baby soon! lol. Unfortunately I've to leave early even though I was winning at mahjong as the next day I've rock climbing course.
The course was awesome as we get lots of climbing time and it wasn't a stressful one. I'm glad I finally got my level one cert, can belay people already! :) Suffered lots of painful blisters on the hand too, I think i still need to climb more. :p
Qi is finally back from the US, so happy to meet her yesterday after more than half a year! Really miss her randomness and we had an awesome random outing yet again! :) We headed to the Lim Chu Kang farms in the morning at the risk of getting lost but we managed to find what looks like a farm and we went in to feed kois!! They look really fat and gross when they come snatching for the food you throw into the pond! haha. Had fun playing soccer machine there too!
Hay Dairies Farm was just down the road and I am so happy to be able to drink goat's milk once again! Love the foul smell the milk evokes!
The goats were caged up quite a distance from us, quite sad can't go near them. There seems to be some overcrowding problem going on too! Still it was really interesting observing the goats, as we came up with our own weird scientific theories to explain some of the oddness we noticed! haha
Initially the plan was to explore more farms and hopefully eat at one which offers food but the shutter bus was to comfy for us to get off so we travelled all the way to Kranji MRT and decided to set off to west coast park instead! Been wanting to go there to see how it had changed over the years, hoping that there'll be something fun to do.
We took a break at macs, playing silly word games and laughed like crazy people. After enjoying enough air con, we explored the place to see what's there to do. Played playground, chopped an ant and found this interesting sign board! :)
The highlight of the day was really the go kart ride which we happen to pass by the store and decided to give it a try to satisfy our desires for cheap thrills. It was super fun riding really fast, going down slope, riding though bumpy obstacles and doing sharp turns which make us go WHEEEEE all the way. People must have thought that we're insane and we seem to have helped the store advertised their go karts! lol
