New layout // SEA Aquarium // Whampoa Hawker Centre

hey ;)

I guess this week I'll be jobless so I have time to actually take my time and blog. HAHA. Actually blogging is really quite fun I guess? And it kills time too ;)

So being at home is really lonely, though I'll be going out in the evening, but still, the period before is quite lonely actually :( OHWELLZ. And being at home alone would make you think about weird stuff and make people emotional about everything and well, that's not the point. Decided to change my layout since I have to entertain myself and took a really long time trying to find a nice layout ;)

Aaaaand, TADA!!!

Ok actually still quite noob but aiya what makes me happy right??? x)

And since I had so much time in my hands, I decided to edit my photos HAHA. I am seriously damn noob at using a DSLR so my photos have to be edited no matter what. And I still can't find out how to use the timer. Or how to take photos without using flash and making the photos look nice. -.- Guess I should learn basic photography sometime!

This post is gonna be another major photo spam, sorry!! :((

SEA Aquarium



My parents decided to go SEA Aquarium one day since there were cheap tix which we had to use by 31 Jan, and we got our aunt to come along since my bro was being a burden. Sad thing is no one is actually free and the only available timeslot is during the evening, which means only 1h+ to actually walk around the whole aquarium. Not a good idea, exactly.



We reached SEA Aquarium at 5.45pm, and since it closes at 7pm, we have about an hour to finish walking the whole thing. Don't really know why, but watching so many fishes gives me a really calming effect. Like, no exams, no stress, no worries (ok maybe not get eaten but still), no problems, just swim around all day every day. AND if you're a small fish you get company 24/7. Sounds great, no? HAHAH.

The variety of marine life there is MAD. There are so many different types of marine life--colourful fishes, crabs, octopus, starfish, seahorses... HOW DO I EVEN LIST THEM.

Best thing is I got to hear the clicking sound of dolphins <3 Since we were really late and there wasn't many people left, the guide just suddenly came round to us and told us that if you put your ear on the glass, you would be able to hear the clicking sounds made by dolphins. AHHHH SO CUTE!!! I wanted to be a dolphin trainer once, but I don't want to train caged dolphins :( SO NO.

My aunt and mum were discussing which fishes could be eaten HAHAHAHA I couldn't stop laughing. They were like:

"Eh this one can eat right"

"Yalor but this one not nice, that one nicer"

"Here got alot sia, if only can eat them"

[caption id="attachment_832" align="aligncenter" width="660"] The fishes on the right can be eaten. (I think)[/caption]

HAHAHAHA SERIOUSLY. I cannot stand them.

[caption id="attachment_809" align="aligncenter" width="660"] These are like mini jellyfishes!!![/caption]



[caption id="attachment_813" align="aligncenter" width="660"] This huge eel is really quite scary actually HAHA[/caption]



[caption id="attachment_814" align="aligncenter" width="660"] I have a toy model of this AHAH[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_824" align="aligncenter" width="660"] I really don't know what is this but it's so ugly it's cute <3[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_830" align="aligncenter" width="660"] selfies in the Aquarium turned out really grainy :([/caption]



      

And well, my dad was feeling quite generous so he got me this:

The gelato was REALLLLLYYYYYY good!!!! It's super super creamy and smooth <3 But the price is totally not worth it HAHAHA

Well, we were really late, like we left the Aquarium at 7.40pm? So the people working inside were trying to rush us. Like, they kept asking: "Hi do you need a group photo?" EVERY SINGLE TIME WE WERE AT A NEW PLACE. HAHAHAAHHA It was really quite funny. They didn't explicitly ask us to leave, but it's quite obvious they were rushing us :( AWW. And I didn't get to enjoy the whole aquarium since we were basically rushing through and I could just nua around :((( Hence the face.  




We weren't really that hungry but we still went Whampoa's hawker centre to have hokkien mee which is REALLY GOOD. But IMO, I still think the one from Changi Village is alot nicer ;)) But the serving here is alot more, like their $6 bowl is quite similar to the serving size of $8 hokkien mee in Changi Village -.-

We also got satays, which was REALLY BAD. I'm not even joking. The meat felt undercooked, and undermarinated, and the colour of both the gravy and satay was just off. -.- SIGH. But we still managed to finish them :(

[caption id="attachment_836" align="aligncenter" width="660"] :((([/caption]

Really sad that we had to rush through the whole of SEA Aquarium :( Really really really wanna go again, and next time, I'll stay in there for the whole day. But taking photos inside there is really bad, like selfies will become really grainy and normal photos would need flash, which I hate HAHA.

AIYA I'll defo get the chance to go again!!!

Olliee in Penang // Day 6 // Straits Quay // Gurney Plaza // HUGE tissue prata

Got to wear my hobo pants today HEHEHEH it's so comfortable but makes me so fat!!! But whatever comfy comfy comfy. ❤️ Stole a tank from my cousin's wardrobe too since I needed a tank to wear it with 😏😏

LOR MEE



ROJAK

Straits Quay



Needed aircon really badly since the weather WAS JUST EFFIN HOT, so we went to Straits Quay to take photos and shop. Since it's near a pier/sea there's actually ALOT of boats here, im sure they're all private yatches. I AM SO JEALOUS I ALSO WANT A YATCH FOR MYSELF TOO. BUT BO LUI. Next time!!!! But right now let me just fake own them ❤️ Actually though the shops there sold really expensive stuff, there was this mini flea market on the 2nd floor and several outlet stores, so ofc I wouldn't miss them 😉 I even got a bag for real cheap from everlast. Wanted a Nike bag but I guess the Everlast one was ALOT CHEAPER and more worth it!





























Oh, and the freaking good cinnamon bread I said in my eariler post? YOU CAN GET IT HERE. It's not cheap but I heard the bakery is quite famous for their bread (duh if not what's a bakery for).







This is the freaking good cinnamon bread







bought 5 buns in total: 2 cinnamon, 1 chocolate, and 1 blueberry, to try 😋





Gurney Plaza, Old Chow Thye




Also went Gurney Plaza to shop for a little while before going back to Old Chow Thye to slack for a while. Had Checkered Cheesecake which was oh-so-good ❤️ after not eating any cake for 2 days finally I satisfied my craving ❤️

Kayu Nasi Kandar





Went for SUPER HUGE TISSUE PRATA at 1030pm for dinner, which was REALLY SPECIAL IMO. And REALLY GOOD. Can you imagine the dough for the prata is the same as the amount of dough for normal pratas??? THEM SKILLZ.

And also had a super retarded conversation with THONGkatsu group (do u geddit hurhur) HAHAAHHAHA. My relatives was talking about my cousin's gf and I could kinda feel that everyone was expecting me to have a bf since my cousin's the same age as me. BUT NO.
