the above are the pics we took on our (very long awaited) trip to sentosa on 23rd dec.. yeah. it's a super overdue entry, but well.. who cares. the pictures are taken by our very talented - lim cailing.
anyway, it was a day of joy for us. we've been wanting to go to sentosa since 2 semesters ago. but no one seems free.. and finally!!! lol. brought along lotsa food and we played frisbee. screamed a hell lot when we spotted Micky and Sakura - the two resident monkey performers just outside rasa sentosa. they had pink red swollen butts. dont look like babboons. well seriously, i havent been in close proximity to monkeys before. that was the first time.
then.. we saw this cute little guy. a white boy called james. we were apparently so balled over by him. you can actually tell from the pictures. i think he'll be one aspiring engineer when he grows up. he was so fascinated by the
i dont know what it's called.. was it tracker? " machine thingy used to dig soil during construction" he kept touching it. he is JUST SO CUTE!!!
well anyway, looking back, that day at sentosa, it was rather cloudly. only had the previlege of sun baking for like 30 mins
( now, that was 30 mins of scorching sun! )
it was just a few days before the deadly tsunami striked, killing up to 60,000 people.. and the death toll is still rising. last nite, i was waiting to cross the road to meet my mum at raffles hotel, and i looked at the clear evening sky. a part of me was like waiting to see a huge tidal wave coming over the raffles hotel building. i began to visualise what would the aftermath be. singapore would probably go underwater.. like the maldives. i don't know the extend of damage in the maldives, but i saw in the news reports that the 200 islands of the maldives could not be found / contacted. they're just 1m above sea level..
and well, talking about tidal waves.. i can still remember the time when i was at san francisco, at monterey and i saw those tidal waves come crashing onto the shore? i thought how nice it'd be to feel a tidal wave. but i dont think i'd be that happy to be caught in a tidal wave this huge anymore. i wonder how do surfers feel about the tsunami strike? since they're always in search of huge continuous tidal waves?
i cant help but feel extremely frightened, even though none of the people i know are affected by the tsunami. argh. it's a terrible feeling, i tell you.. i just have a terrible feeling that somewhat, the end of the world is near. those who have read the Revealations would probably have been shaken or somethin.
oh.. i just read my friend's blog. SHE IS FINE!!!!! she was at GoA at the time of the disaster.. thank goodness!!
i'm getting loads of difficulty trying to type nowadays.. havent been typing or writing for a long time and so, my standard of english has been dropping rapidly..
