Honestly, there is just too much to be said. The mere prospect of describing my blog would be parallel to that of describing my life. And as I see it, Life is nothing but memories waiting to happen. So, my blog, which relies heavily on the endeavors of my life, would be most simply described as, A Box Of Memories.

Singapore
Hello. It's me again.
We arrived there sometime in the evening ( Sunday ). We checked in to the hotel, hanged out there for awhile, went to the local shopping malls, then got ready to go our aunt and uncle's place for dinner.
I never really got to know these particular relatives, because they live in Singapore ( obviously ) and when they DID visit us in KL, we didn't know them enough to talk.
But we became quite friendly after this trip. My uncle had cooked the best dang turkey I've ever eaten in my whole life ( I've never ever eaten turkey, but still... ). He's a real chef, as you can tell by the way he talks about food and stuffs. He's like Jamie Oliver or something.
AND his food tastes amazing.
See this picture of a turkey? Looks good don't it?
Well, I can assure you my uncle's turkey tasted better, however good this one tastes.
So he went on to serve us mussels ( Is that how it's spelt? ), baked potatoes with bacon, Chataeu De Candelys ( some kind of wine ), and much more. Course by course. It was past midnight by the time it was over, so we went back to the hotel.
I woke up full of hope to go to the skatepark, as Singapore's Youth Park is the most famous skatepark in Singapore, and it is great to skate there.
Instead of going to the skatepark, we went to Robinson's ( a shopping mall ) first. This time, I went with my other Singaporean cousins.
The Christmas tree was HUGE, as you can see. There was even a sign on the tree saying " Danger. Do not touch-High Voltage "
Here's another picture of the tree. With me and my cousins. Don't blame me for the picture quality, I didn't take it.
Anyways, after we had finished shopping, it had begun to rain, so my birthday plans were foiled by none other than God himself.
So we went back to the hotel by MRT ( one of the most annoying forms of transportation, if you've taken it before ) and got lost several times on the way due to taking to wrong exits out of the tunnel.
Then, after reaching home tired of all the walking, we find it has stopped raining. So I wait around the hotel, giving the park time to dry off, then we set off again.
We have to take the annoying and MRT again, then finally reach there.
And guess what? It's raining.
So we went shopping for awhile, and finally went to the skatepark by taxi when it stopped raining.
Floor was wet, though. Here are some pictures of the park.
After the skatepark, we went for more shopping, and then went back to rest. My dad had brought home some cold pizzas for snack, and these are several ways in which we tried to heat them up.
Then, we had dinner with the usual group. THREE nights in a row. So filling. Gotta lose some weight when I get home. Hahaha. But these 3 nights were real feasts.
Hairy Crabs, Australian Pantrikilists Snow Leopard Crabs, Mettler Fish ( named after a man who lost 3 arms trying to discover them ), Ambiguous Makinnese Prawn, and wine. Don't forget the wine.
And I learned, on that fateful night, EXACTLY how hard it is to get a beautiful picture when there's a colourful lighting night scene picture to be taken.
We went to Clarke Quay ( pronounced clark-key ). The whole place looked like a giant night pub. Here's some ugly pictures. Don't judge me too harshly, it was a hard task, getting those pictures.
It's the last day, and the weather is beautiful. I went to the skatepark, did some filming fir my video, then we went for lunch at Central.
There was some ice-skating performances going on there......
After that, we went home......

I woke up and found it raining. AGAIN. AUGH.We had dinner with my relatives, again. But unfortunately, we ate out. Chinese delicacy crabs and Roasted Chinese Children. And wine. Don't forget the wine.
Day Three-Tuesday.
So we went shopping for awhile, and finally went to the skatepark by taxi when it stopped raining.
Their taxi's are blue.
Floor was wet, though. Here are some pictures of the park.

Made of beer bottles......
99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer! You take one down, and pass it around, you've got 98 bottles of beer on the wall! And so on.

Many people walk in Singapore.
Hooters. You can't deny the fact that you'd like to go inside. Don't lie.
Me, my mum, and my sis.
My favourite part of the trip. Don't ask.
More of the infamous fire hydrant.
The streets.
Look! A fountain!

Day Four-Let's Go Home.

Back In M'Sia
Nice to be back. I won't post my birthday party post yet, since I haven't gotten all the photos yet. So I'll give you my electric guitar post first.
Yea, It isn't the one I said I would buy, but I think it's a better deal. And I like it more. Epiphone Special II Model. Mmmmm.....
Anyways, the Singapore post will take quite awhile, what with the many things that happened and the excessive pictures I took.

Happy Birthday, Jun Shern!
Narcissism. You don't understand? Too bad. I'm not about to tell you. Reminds me of a story, actually. There was once a man, who had had too many laptops for breakfast, and.... Wait. Forget about that. I'll share that story another day......
Now it's time to get straight to the point. Today is....

My Birthday!
There actually isn't any surprise anymore, due to the title of this entry, but who gives.
I'm in Singapore as I type this, so I won't say much, as I have a holiday to spend.
When I get back, there'll be quite alot to say, what with my birthday party, and this Singapore trip, and the purchase of my new electric guitar, and what not.
But until I DO come home to home sweet home, it is adieu, sayonara, and til' we meet again. Bye.

The Rest Of My Holidays Are Pretty Much Summed Up Now.
Even though there's still a whole month of holidays, I've pretty much got it all filled up already.
I've got too many things to do. Such that I won't have time to organize any outing with my friends of any sort like I had planned to do.
From now on I won't be using the comp as much as I have been, what with my cousin from Aussie come back to Malaysia and staying with me. I've got to keep him entertained, since I'm his age, and my bro and sis don't really talk to him. So I'll have to babysit, and won't be using the comp to do it.
I also have my birthday party to plan. I haven't sent out any invitations yet, or even determined the date.
And, there's the Singapore trip, and after that, the Hong Kong trip.
And Christmas parties.
And holiday homework for all the subjects, a whole workbook for each. Sad.
Ah well, that's all for today. Got other stuff to do.
