Magically Enchanting

:: Rewrite ::

I don't think the previous post is quite right. It looks more like a piece of crap than an informal blog post. So let me try it once again. Now you see, it's been eight days that I'm away from Brunei and yet there's lots of stories to tell. It's not likely I can tell you the whole story, it's just that it will be a frggin' long post and I don't want you guys(readers) to be like: "Great. A long post, I'm not going to read it all the way to the bottom."

I surely don't want that to happen. Even if that situation occurs, it is not my fault or anyone's fault. Okay, so let's start at the beginning.

Royal Plaza on Scotts is the hotel I'm staying and that will be room number six hundred and ten; 610. It's on the sixth floor and I've known that hotel since I was only three or four years old. The hotel's been renovated and pretty much, I'm not really satisfied with it except for the air-conditioning. It name was used to be Holiday Inn but then it was changed into Royal Plaza on Scotts.

Pfft, why the heck am I talking about the hotel?! At any rate, staying there for 7 nights and 8 days costs us about $2,000 something, including two breakfast everyday. I'm pretty much satisfied with the hotel's security. You get to use your own room key-card to use the lift. Amazing, eyh? Anywho; I usually got bored eating breakfast in the hotel. So, my first thought of eating breakfast outside will be the McDonald's. Yep, I get to eat the pancakes twice.

Our lunch and dinner will always takes place in either Burger King, McDonald's, Haagen-Dazs or KFC. Mostly, we voted for Burger King because of the Mexican Chicken menu. Cravings, mate.

Since I'm a novel addiction myself, it really is essential for me to enter EVERY bookshops I see in every shopping centers: Times bookstore, BORDERS and PageOne. These three shops beat the hell out of BestEastern and Reader's Haven's customer's satisfactory.

Several famous shopping malls is very essential for all humans to visit in the Orchard Road. Wheelock Place is by far my favorite shopping mall in Orchard Road, Singapore. Second comes Suntec City and third comes, Vivo City. Then again, these three shopping malls beat the hell out of The Mall's shopping boutiques and as well as the size of the building itself.

I also went to Sentosa to visit the Underwater World and as well as the historic place during the Second World War at Fort Siloso. Underwater World is of course my favorite place to visit since you get to see lots of underwater creatures which you won't be able to see anywhere else, I suppose. I did took some snapshots during the visit. So maybe I could share with you guys.

During the visit to the Underwater World, I get to touched the Starfish and as well as the Stingray. Yes, I touched a stingray. It's very slippery though.

Look! I have proof. I TOUCHED Patrick Starfish. XD

I bend down on my knees to capture this shot outside the tank. It's a "Feeding Stingray" tank actually. Lots of crowds, mates.

I can see several sharks as well but not hammerhead sharks. D'aww. Even the Great White Shark is not there. Because it's dead. Pity goes with Mr. White Shark but on the bright side, I get to buy a Hammerhead shark soft toy. You bet I was happy at that time. Oh and I even recorded it during the trip.

I done all of my shopping at Orchard Road though because of the vast shopping malls. Thanks to Wheelock Place that I get to shop at EpiCentre, I bought a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet for about $189 for the small size. The graphic tablet is after all very essential to me. The thing is, I have to ask my Dad to download the Photoshop CS3 back again. Shish kebabs!

Speaking of essentials, visiting every toy shop is a must as well. I finally found the action-figure of Kadaj from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children which cost me about $53. I didn't expect to see Kadaj standing there in his box waiting for someone to buy him. So, I'm his new master now. Even the visiting to they Toys"R"US is very essential nowadays. Why? Because of the capsule section. It's by far my favorite. You know, the ones that you have to insert several coins and then turn this knob thingy clockwise and then the prize dropped fro you to claim your reward. It's more like a lottery I think. Yeah, I mostly get all of my keychains from there. My keychains are mostly the cooler ones. It includes Pokémon and a Nintendo Wii system.

I managed to buy anime/cosplay hats at Suntec City. It was a pain in the ass to find the shop. Then again, I bought one for Trisher. At first I couldn't find any Gloomy bears soft toys at Suntec City and buy the time, my budget was okay. During New Year's Eve, I finally found the Gloomy bear plush toy but it's not the normal one. Some of them wears a beanie hat and a jacket. It cost me about $25+ but at the time, my money was almost reaching to $0. What the hell do you expect? It's already 6 days after the arrival to Singapore. So, in the end.. I couldn't afford to buy Trisher the Gloomy bear doll. Sorry!

I refrained myself on not trying to buy things so quickly without thinking twice. So, I managed to save my pocket money. When the time comes to go back home, we went to the Changi Airport around 6, I think. So, I went to Burger King again to buy iced milo . . . only! Then, I saw this shop that sold several action figures. Like hell yeah, I'll definitely go there. When I see the toys there, my first impression is: "O_O !! Shit. It's Domo-kun and Gloomy bear. Fuck!"

I only got $22 bucks left after trying to refrain myself from buying. So, in the end; I bought the Domo-kun keychain only. Psshpfft!
