The Risk Taker

This brave snail went out of its the comfort zone and went straight to the risky pavement. Admiring the grass at the other side of the pavement wasn't enough for this little fella, anymore. So, even if its his life is at stake here, he still manage go forward, no looking back. How many of us are willing to take this kind of risk, putting all on the line, to realize the things that we dreamed of...

Universal SaGala

yehey.. we finally reached the Universal ground.. so what better way to start the day but to have photos with the Universal Globe, the flag bearer of the theme park.. and we were not alone with this thought.. well it shows..

i really love the excitement that I can't keep a straight face when the camera clicks...

celebrities are just around the corner ready to share some fun and photo ops.. we had so much fun meeting them and having a picture with them, we even saw the Street Boys they're a regular performer they even shouted "oh mga kababayan picture-picture na..."after their show..
at first we didn't recognize them but their moves were familiar then after their performance they announced that they are the street boys.. I literally run straight to them and even get to hug maynard.. nice right.. super fan...

Queuing for the rides took most of our time, 30 minutes was the fastest for a ride that will took less than 5 minutes or maybe 10.. but waiting had been a fun experience too.. we did a lot of picture taking while on the line and a lot of running in the queue for shrek 4d and the mummy..


the US is divided into different parts here are some of the areas we explored.

first part the MADAGASGAR - where you can see the animal grand carrousel perfect for kids and young at heart if you want to get dizzy with the round robin motion and soft music, that would be perfect.. we had oour photo ops with the gang of course..
next is the Kingdom Of Far Far Away, home for Sherk, Fiona, Puzz, Dunkey and the rest of fairy tale characters.. Here I was able to watch for the first time the 4d animation.. It was great, one of the must try features there. And the small time rollercoaster that we didn't took seriously.. "woohh.. chicken feed.. just for kids.. sisiw.." but during the ride our scream was the loudest.. what a ride ender for us..
here are the rest of the US..

Jurassic Park

The Mummy "Egypt"

candid shots during the 2 two must try rides..

top of the list the mummy ride
lots of twist and turns and really challenging ride, I thought I'll loose my tonsils in this ride, I think from start to finish I'm screaming...
gabby, the one in orange shirt was like that the whole ride.. he keeps on waiting for the camera..

the River Rapids - we've queuing for this ride for 90 minutes or more.. and while at it, we we're laughing at those who were soaking wet when they step out of the ride, it was as if a bucket of water was poured into them... I got scared here more than the mummy, total darkness was my waterloo..
they say my reaction was the most believable...

the HUMAN & CYCLONE Ride in Battlestar Gallactica
I really wanted this extreme adrenalin pumping rollercoaster ride but sadly it was still closed due to some technical issues.. so next time.. I'll come back for you.

more camera clicking every spot was a perfect set..
trip-trip everywhere..

finally its uwian time..
We had so much fun during our experience eventhough at the middle of the day it rained so hard we still enjoyed the rest of it.. It has been a tiring, toes breaking and jaw dropping experience but I love it!!!
yehey.. 10 tickets...

Trip to US (R We There Yet)

(because I was inspired by Strange Fruit chico garcia's blog www.chicogarcia.worpress.com about their trip to singapore & Universal Studio.. gumaya din ako.. (i decided to make one too..)

Ooopss not the US of A.. its our trip to Universal Studio SINGAPORE!!!!

This trip was supposed to be on Christmas Day itself but we failed to snatch tickets for that date even tho we purchased them 1st week of December.. badtrip, its sold out good thing 26th is still available.. Its been 3 weeks waiting time but finally we made it... (excited!!!!)
So we're all set.. M & M's t-shirt check (uniform), most of them came from me, thats my Christmas gift to them, I can't afford the tickets so I just gave them the shirts.. It really felt like we're going on a field trip.. OK.. Happy faces check altho TI wasn't so happy for her attire coz the shirt that she's supposed to wear is too large that it fits Hector so she borrowed my extra green shirt. Extra shirts check coz we're expecting to get soak in the river rapids. Meds check.. incase there's dizzyness, nausea, vomiting and stuff that could happen after the rides.. OK!!! We're all set lets go..

Wait picture-picture first with our Christmas Wall, presenting the cast of M&M's US tour starts from left gabby, me, qya jim, nyl, ti & hector..

guess who's tip toeing here.. hehe never mind..

the picture session continues.. enclosed space (elevator) didn't stop us.. para-paraan lang..,
love this pic.. all because for a change I'm On Top..

It really felt like its the christmas day, for me that is.. Hmm... a lot of people are out and the bus stop was packed., a lot of them were going to church coz its a sunday. But that didn't stop us from taking picture picture..

Notice how our picture looks like we were the only people waiting for the bus maybe Singaporeans are camera shy..hmm or maybe they thought we are lunatic that they kept their distance.heh Whatever who cares we were in a field trip mode.

And so we went straight to ViVO City the doorway towards Sentosa where Universal Studio is..
There's 3 means of transpo going there 1st the expensive but very exciting and amazing cable car which until now I haven't seen, next is the all reliable Bus which may take some couple of minutes travel time but the catch there is its free.. and the monorail which will take you straight to US just a stop and you're there. all you need is your EZ link and your off.. you can also buy the cardpass near the entrance but there might be a long queue specially when your going there on a week end or a holiday.

this monorail looks like our sponsor as you can see
WE BELONG!!!!!

Ship Series

So as I was thinking of a better things to write tonight, then Qya Jim came in to our room and brag about his new 1 singapore dollar bill so as Usi (wants to know everything) as I'am I took a look at it and sympre.. ask for 1 as a souvenir.. He said a cab driver or vendor i'm not sure gave him this as a change... he have 5 pieces of them and the other 1 was different so he gave this one since the 3 other bills were just like this.
so as I was thinking how to put this here, I wondered what year it was printed out and if its the first print for its batch . I decided to googled it, to be more accurate, then I found out its not a new bill but an old one, almost my age to be exact coz it was first release in between 1985 & 1989, and that this 1 dollar bill is called the Ship series next to the Bird Series (which is their 2nd series of notes) and the first one is the Orchid series. Cool right I didn't know that every series of notes in here got a special theme or something.. these series are all in paper material.
The latest that Singapore is using are the Portrait series which at first was in paper material too but by the year 2006 they started using the polymer which kind a like plastic. Maybe they thought that with plastic they don't have to change the bills as often than the usual coz it'll not deteriorate quickly, but its easy to tear tho.
this c/20 066522 got me curious what its all about, so I fished for more info about it and how it works but sadly there is none but... as I was searching for it I found out that the same dollar bill but with a serial (i don't know if its called serial) Z/1 472023 is in eBay for the price of 35RM which is equivalent to $14sg.

Its really worth something right.. more than the one dollar that its worth. I felt lucky and happy coz I was able to find out a little something something about singapore too, History that is.. although its still about money, which is the reason why I am here.. heh

the in between moments 01

the in between moments 01

Mar 21, '09 1:26 PM for everyone

thoughts over spilling the brain
certain things must put into something
this may not be the right spot to place
but at least i got it out of my head

just not used to being away that long
and worst my roots are oceans away
certain things i got to missed
certain people i want to be with

situations my sometimes over bearing
certain moments you want to breakdown
but who was there to catch you
just a fog and the dark

there may some who's there to back you up
but got troubles of their own to think about
so instead of spilling things out
you just smile and swallow things up

thy moments were just like a pendulum of emotions
there were those that soar your highest high
and those that dive your deepest low
but only thy character can equalize the result of your facade
