Singapore Baby!

Day 1
We bought a Groupon deal so we got return coach for RM75. Our coach was at 8am at One Utama. However, upon arriving, Chloe & Lyn realized that they forgot their passports so we rushed to get the next tickets out then they rushed home while Karen & I boarded the bus. I ended up watching In Time & Chipwrecked.

We arrived around afternoon and it wasn't long before the other two arrived as well. Shaine & Vincent met us at Sentosa. We bought our tickets for the next day. Thanks to Amanda, we got really good deals on the Universal Studio passes. We managed to get 4 entrance tickets at 188SGD, inclusive of 20SGD worth of meal vouchers as well as 10 express passes (worth 30SGD/each). We also managed to get 2 more entrance tickets with a 30% discount.

By that time, I needed to express, but to my dismay, I realized that i brought everything (meaning Icebox, ice packs, pump, containers and bags) but the most important item, the collar connecting the pump and the containers. After much panicking and fretting and finding out that the nearest Phillips dealer was across the country, i resorted to expressing by hand which was terrible as well. Finally it occured to me that i could buy a bottle, which I did. My breasts thanked me gratefully I'm sure.

The Girls camwhored while waiting for me
We were undecided on what to do next, having wasted so much time already. We had to go church to attend obligation day service. So we ended up freshening up at Shaine's place before heading to St.Theresa's  Church where Reuben met us there.

Wrong building, but correct place
Imagine, a whole row of people complete with huge bags and all coming for Mass, we stood out like a sore thumb. I don't know about the rest, but I couldn't keep awake at all in Mass =( *note to self: next time sleep in the bus instead of watching movies*


After meeting Bal & Jules at the hotel and settling ourselves in.

Lush hotel, thanks to Bal
We headed to Bugis for grill & steamboat. Needless to say, we had so much fun! We were given the end table and it was quite amusing to see all of us standing around the table cooking & eating to avoid the oil splashes. We most certainly ate our money's worth.


After that, we took the bus back & camwhored in the bus only to miss our stop. So we had to take cabs back instead.

Trying to fit all of us in
Back at the room, we chilled and laid back with Jagerbombs & wine while laughing over Oppa Ganggam style video and chatting the night away. Chloe & Lyn fell fast asleep while we continued our chatter, finally the guys left at almost 4am+. Crazy Karen, jacked up on Red Bull, could even stay up to finish her work. And thus, ends Day 1.

Day 2
We woke up kind of late and by the time we got ready, lathered ourselves with sunblock & Karen sent off her work, we were off to Universal Studios =) Vincent met us at the Hotel Room with Old Chang Kee snacks.

I braided Lyn's hair
OTW to USS
Details of our USS trip has a post of its own here.

After USS, we bumped into Jules & Bal at Candylicious. It was almost 7pm+, we were deadbeat by then. Pffft! The guys predicted that we would be bored or tired by afternoon, we were just getting started by then. We had dinner in Marche, which was good on our tummies which had only been filled with snacks the entire day.


After dropping us at the hotel, the guys went back to get ready and we took the time to get ready as well. Then the guys came to our room for pre drinks where Bal introduced the sweetest sin: Sparkling White Zinfandel. Mmmm, all sorts of goodness.

We (Reuben, Karen, Chloe, Jules, Bal & myself; Shaine & Lyn stayed back) then went to Avalon at Marina Bay Sands. Awesome night indeed! I have never seen so many Caucasians in a club before, so much so, I actually felt out of place =P But ooh, eye candy aplenty. A guy hit on us in the lift while we were heading up to the ladies. A Swedish guy came on to Chloe (who by the way is no longer a clubbing virgin thanks to that night! Woots!). As well as a guy came on to Karen as well (drama!). I am innocent as usual *winks* We had Vodka, Long Island & beers at the club. Music was kinda sucky, but overall, it was great company that made the night awesome. We almost didnt want to go back.

Us at Avalon
Needless to say, I was gone that night. I honestly, barely drank, but I think the sips of everything mixed with the exhaustion of USS made my girls pamper me all the way into bed. I love my girls long time! =)

Lady in Red
(this was after exiting the club, before blacking out in the cab)
The guys of course, so sweetly dropped us back first before they headed back.

Thus ends Day 2.

Day 3 (Too Tired for Any Pictures)
We woke up super late, or rather I had the hardest time waking up. I had to sleep back to get rid of the pukish feeling. By the time we got ready and called the guys, turns out that our call was their alarm so we had to wiat for them as well. Reuben so sweetly brought us McDonalds breakfast.

We then headed off to Marina Bay yet again for the Harry Potter Exhibition at the ArtScience Museum. While I had to go pump yet again, they settled the tickets & we met back at the food court for lunch. You could see that we were all pretty stoned from the day before.


The exhibition was not bad =) For HP enthusiasts I mean. Or else, you'd find it limited and boring and fake. But overall it was an awesome experience. I could buy no souvenirs though. Everything was super expensive. Weird lady stared at me though =( I wonder why. Oh well.. *shrug shoulders*.

Excuse the retarded look
We then went to Cold Stone for yummy impressive ice-cream, impressive because they could throw it in the air and stuff. We stopped by H&M then while the rest went to Pauls? Jules brought me to Kikki, a totally cute stationery shop, I wanted everything =( Anyway, what happened after was complete chaos.


We rushed back to the hotel, changed frantically, rushed to get a cab, bid our goodbyes and left for our coach at Sentosa. The cab driver was rushing for us as well. He proudly dropped us off at the place few minutes before the departure, only for us to realize that we were 3 stations away from where we intended to go =S So by the time we rushed to our intended place, the bus had already left & the booths were already closed.

Thank God I had arranged to meet U.Vernon, who so kindly offered to bunk us up at his place despite having U.Keith & A.Angela over that night as well. The guys so sweetly offered to meet us at the bus stop after we told them that the bus had left only to tell them that UVernon had picked us up when they reached. I felt so bad. So we booked tickets online while Karen stayed back at someone's place.

@U.Vernon's

Day 4
We woke up and got ready, gave me time to catch up with U.Keith as well. Once we were packed to go and in teh car leaving, I realized I forgot my ticket so we had to go back to get the ticket. This in turn, gave me time to say HiBye to A.Angie (literally). We had 7-11 breakfast before boarding the bus. We slept the entire trip back (at least I did). We had lunch at Subway (I completely forgot about Friday) before Mum picked us up. I got home to be greeted by my darling *joy*

All in all, a much needed, much appreciated, much enjoyed getaway to catch up with my girlfriends! =)
