http://lovelyvalentineday.blogspot.com/2011/07/fun-weekend-day-1-universal-studios.htmlHey yo people! How's your weekend? Well, I've a fun and enjoyable weekend @ Sentosa! :D I'm dividing my post into 2 parts - Day 1 & Day 2. I took over 400+ photos over the weekend! My camera went dead on me on the start of Day 2, as I've forgotten to bring my charger along. So, Day 2 won't have as many pictures as Day 1, and it will be unclear and blurry because I took it with my boyfriend's IPhone. So, please bear with it, okay? :) If you're not patient enough to wait for my Day 2 post to be up, you can check out all the pictures at my Facebook. Anyway, let's start the 1st day of my adventurous, exciting and fun weekend, let's go ....
I sleep over at my boyfriend's house last night, as I'll be much easier than having to go an extra miles to fetch me. So, I wake up at around 10AM as Bingli and her boyfriend are coming over around at 11.30AM to fetch both me and my boyfriend. I thought I wake up quite early, as I don't need to put any make up, I just have to bathe and changed so it won't take alot of the time at all. So, I went to watch Naruto Shippuuden on my boyfriend's IPhone. I am too engaged in Naruto Shippuuden, that I forgetten about the timing! So, I quickly went to wake my boyfriend up and went to prepare myself too! But it's lucky that Bingli and her boyfriend haven't reached yet, as we were not done preparing. So, I took the time to take pictures :)
Pictures of myself. I brought a big bag pack along with me! Kiasu max!
With my boyfriend.
Went down to find Bingli and her boyfriend after that. Everyone are bringing big bags for today! And I realised that everyone are just bringing only two sets of clothing for the 2 days 1 night stay at Siloso Beach Resort. But I ... *shy* brought around 6 sets of clothing with me! And the ironic thing is that, I'm staying that for only 1 night, and I brought 3 sets of sleepwear! With so many clothing, I still have the feeling that I've not brought enough clothing with me!
Our Universal Studios tickets (Y)
I guess I couldn't wait to reach Siloso Beach Resort, because the time on the cab goes vvveeeerrrryyyy veeerrrryyyy slowly, for me. And finally, we've reached! And we started taking photos in pair with everyone in front of the Siloso Beach Resort sign, as evidence that we've reached and been here before. Part of memories, so have to take! :D

Couple shots

After we're done with the photo-taking, we head to the counter to check in. But unfortunately, only Bingli's room is available, both my boyfriend and I have to check in at a later time when there are rooms available. So we went to Bingli's room to put our stuffs, changed and head to Universal Studios Singapore! Before that, here's some pictures of the Resort and Bingli's room.
The Resort. Got the nature feeling~
The beach view.
In Bingli's room,
Shower place is small too!
Big comfy-looking bed with lights by the side
It's has wooden frame above it. Wonder what's that for? Decoration?
Can see the view of the turquoise sea by pulling the curtain.
And wait, then we spotted something strange...
A secret door with flights of staircase behind it, in the middle of the room!
So, we were curious, and with our adventurous spirit, we walked up the stair. Lucky it was daytime and not night time, if not I could see a serious dislocated body walking down that flight of stairs with an awful moaning, like The Grudge like that. Haha. But on another side, it looks like Harry Potter: Chamber of Secret, too. Laugh out loud. Many movie plots from just one stairs. But to your disappointment, I saw none of these two, but something even more awesome...
A ROOF-TOP JACUZZI! :D
The Jacuzzi and the beach chair.
It's super awesome, isn't it? Imagine, a bright sunny day with clear, blue sky and you were enjoying the Jacuzzi with that massaging feel and effect, and to add a bit romantic to the atmosphere, add the whole bottle of that bubbles forming solution in. Tadaa! Perfect scenario! :D Okay, I'm gonna stop all these and get back to the post. Anyway, after all the pictures of the Resort and Bingli's room, we're all finally done and ready to go to Universal Studios Singapore! :)
That's what I'm wearing to welcome Universal Studios Singapore!
Cute baby pink polka dots dress/top! :D Got it at Flea@Scape.
With my boyfriend.
And off we go!
Before heading to USS, we went to have a light lunch. So that we could fully enjoyed ourselves with all the rides and games, instead of wasting our time finding and settling down for lunch in there. Didn't eat too full, because we didn't want to have a tummy upset while on the roller coaster with the turns and all, and vomit out everything. That will be embarrassing and disgusting as well. We think a little too far, didn't we? Haha. Just in case that really happens.
Settled our light lunch @ SakaeIzakaya.
Siblings of Sakae Sushi? Lol! O.O
Bingli and her boyfriend browsing through the menu.
Nice interior design with black and white.
But then, we settled ourselves outside, enjoying the sunlight and sea breeze.
That's me drinking Esprit Raspberry.
I always drink either Lemonlime or Raspberry.
Bamboo clam! But it wasn't really awesome! D:
Ala Carte - Chicken and Beef
Udon!
Seeing all these food, are your mouth salivating? Haha. It didn't seems a light lunch at all! I have a bowl of white rice to go with my Ala Carte too. Does that means that I couldn't play those rides in case I'll vomit on everyone? Hell no! I don't care at all! Just play! Haha :D Anyway, when we're having our lunch, we saw a kitten. My boyfriend throw one of the leftover chicken for the kitten and it snatches it away very fast and ate it. Damn adorable, please! And everyone of us was throwing a piece of chicken/beef for the kitten. We aren't wasting food, okay!
Adorable kitten! I think that's its hideout, so it can get food from people like us :P
Smart move, kitten! You will have a bright future! :D
After that, we head over to the Beach station, and took monorail to Waterfront station, where the Universal Studios Singapore was located. Seeing the monorail, it reminds me of the old ones that's not available now anymore. But it's okay, I think this is nicer with air conditioner :D
Beach Station
New Monorail.
To Waterfront Station : Universal Studios Singapore! Here I comes!
Taken on the escalator.
"You've reached Waterfront Station."
The moment we reached the ground floor, a woman just suddenly push us towards a green screen. We couldn't catch what's she's talking, but we knows she's going to snap a picture of us. So, we smiled nicely towards the camera. Then, she ushered us to a souvenir shop asking us whether if we want the photo that we've taken just now. I think their business isn't very good, because she says that the photos are going at 2 for $20 with 2 different backgrounds. So, Bingli bought it, and each couple gets one photo. That's a good steal actually, in Sentosa. Haha :D
The green screen
Managing our picture.
Our group photo with the fountain as one of the background.
Miniature monorail figures! Comes with different colours!
After that, we walked towards our destination - Universal Studios Singapore! :D
And finally, we have reached!
Hello, Universal Studios Singapore! :D
Well, what's the first thing you see when you've reached and what will you do? You will see a big global with the word "Universal" written on it, you're right! And what will you do with it? Take picture with it, of course! Then I could show the picture around telling people, "Hey! I have been to Universal Studios Singapore lehs!" Typical Singaporean. Haha :D
Couple shots
Individual shot of Bingli and me
" I'm Queen of the World! " :D
Heading in to USS
Checking of tickets ...
AND WE'RE INSIDE UNIVERSAL STUDIOS SINGAPORE! :D
Universal Studios' store
A very nice place, but my camera can't capture it nicely :)
It looks wayyy cooler and nicer in reality! :D
Maps to the star
Some of the stores.
We wanted to take pictures with Kungfu Panda, but ...
the queue was super long! So, we'll have to give it a miss :(
But we managed to take picture with them! ( Forget call what! )
My boyfriend and I :D
Group picture.
Cute-looking dead skeleton.
First Stop : Madagascar!
Then we proceeded further in and reached Madagascar.
Welcome to Madagascar! Warning : Do not feed the Foosa!
Bingli and her boyfriend.

Our first ride! - Madagascar : A crate adventure!
Pictures of myself while waiting in the queue
Pictures with my boyfriend ( Left ) and Bingli ( Right )
Cute looking emergency exit
Entering into Madagascar ...
That's what we saw in the river boat trip, experiencing Madagascar's crate adventure. I think this is most likely for children and toddles. They looks damn real, man! I'm sorry if some of the pictures weren't taken nicely! It's dark in there, so my camera needs to take extra time to focus before snapping it down and the boat are continuously moving. I've snap some heads and faces in the pictures, but well, you guys can just ignore all those :)
In Madagascar's souvenir shop. How I wish I can have all of them!~
Well, we missed the King Julien's Beach Party-Go-Round, to put it simple, the Madagascar's Merry-Go-Round. ( If not, there'll be much more pictures. ) Guess we're all in a hurry to go on to the next ride as we didn't have enough time to play every rides. We arrived at Universal Studios Singapore at late afternoon, and with each game's super long queue, we can never be able to play everything. So, we just went for those much more exciting rides instead.
Cute looking restroom sign. Everything is cute-looking there :)
Next Stop : Far Far Away!
Our first roller coaster rides - Enchanted Airways!
You're only allowed to bring in ...
- Magic Potions
- Baskets of Cookie
- Golden Dubloons
- Enchanted Swords
- Helpful Elves
- Unicorns
The ticket man - Gingy the Ginger Breadman. Guess everyone is familiar with him.
But have you ever saw a slacken, drunk one before? Now, you have :D
He earns so much .... #Takeitall
Well, the Enchanted Airways is a junior roller coaster. It ended when we are just getting warm up :( Guess, they're afraid that some people can't afford to bear with the excitement, so they make it a short one to avoid that from happening. But the trip is too short for adventurous, and excitement-seeking people like us! D:
Individual picture of me and Bingli with the barrel full of deadly weapons.
You must be this tall to ride. My height - Passed! My boyfriend - Barely :D
Individual picture of me and Bingli with Crown Fountain
Pictures of the Castle
It's Donkey with his Dongon children!
I make up the Dongon - Donkey and Dragon. Creative, uh? :)
Next, we went for Shrek 4-D adventure.
Everyone have heard before 2D & 3D, but what is this... 4D? In 3D movie, you can see characters flying right in your face, that's nothing special since cinemas have that. But with 4D, you not only can have a totally in-your-face fairy tale adventure. Through the miracle of OgreVision, you’ll see, hear, and actually FEEL the action right from your seat! They bring the action to life for each guest - with an extra dimension of special effects through the miracle of OgreVision glasses. Isn't that cool?! Fuck, it's DAMN cool! Now, what is 3D, when you've 4D! :D
Picture with Studios Guide pamphlets while waiting in queue.
It's going to be our turn to go in soon...
Giant poster of the King welcomed us when we entered the castle.
It's me with portrait of the Queen and King.
Couple shots with the portrait of the Queen and King
Pinocchio and The Pigs are captured! Their crime?
For aiding and abetting Shrek the Ogre in Bride-napping Lord Farquaad's Bride-To-Be Princess Fiona.
Shrek wasn't captured yet. Now, it's up to him and Donkey only to save Fiona.
Lord Farquaad's flag
Finally, after a long wait, we've entered the room where they do the introduction of the movie. We're not yet in the theatre, have to WAIT again. It's good if you have patient to wait for so long to get into any rides or games, but if you don't have ... Good luck. Because you still have to queue in the super long queue and WAIT! Laugh. But excitement dies together with the long queue.
Couple Shot with OgreVision glasses
It's me with Ogre Vision glasses on ...
and me again, without OgreVision glasses on.
With Bingli
Four crates, it's Pinocchio and The Pigs in there!
An empty mirror which suddenly ...
*Poof* A scary-looking face appeared! That's magic!
So, mirror mirror on the wall, who's the prettiest of them all?
The scary mirror with Pinocchio and The Pigs talking about the introduction of the movie.
That's me and Bingli with a pouting mouth because we found the introduction a waste of time.
After a long wait of the introduction, we finally entered the theatre! Woohoo~ It's hard for us to get seats of four together when it's free seating which everyone squeezing their way in, trying to get the best seats. Couldn't blame them, we wanted to get the best seats too. But it's real luck that we managed to find seats of four together, right at the very back where there's nobody. Is the back seats, the worse seats to sit in the theatre? If not, why everyone the front?
Pictures of the theatre
The movie was nice, with droplets of water splashing on you as if they're really sneezing on you, and the chair moving to actually feel the movement! Can cinema be like that , too? Don't think so. Haha :D After the movie, we were directed to the Shrek's souvenir shop. But this time, instead of just browsing around and taking pictures, Bingli's boyfriend get both of us a Gingy the Ginger Breadman soft toys! I'm still young at heart, okay! A soft toys is enough to make me happy the whole day long ^^ Welcome Gingy, come home with me and you'll meet your other friends :D I'm sure you'll be very happy with me, since you don't have to help Shrek in bride-napping anymore :D Mommy loves youuuu~ ( Pictures of Gingy will be at the back ) :D
Magic Potion Spin in the souvenir shop. We didn't play.
With Donkey.

I AM HUNGRY, AND A HUNGRY WOMAN IS AN ANGRY WOMAN!
You don't wanna try making a woman angry, it's HORRIBLE! :D
Seem that my boyfriend is hungry too! :D
Let's eat Gingy up! ( Did Mommy and Daddy scared you? )
Far Far Away
Couple pictures with yellow-ed horse cartridge. Pity, no horse :(
Betty Bop pose, against a beautiful pole. That's what fits pretty girl. #Thickskin
OHMYGOD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN OPEN PUBLIC?!
But it's FUN! Let's join in too! :D * Pervertic smile *
Girls love to look pretty, right? Well, it seems that the princesses that we've met at Far Far Away have some nice tips for you girls! So, here, let me share with you the tips to looking pretty, or even prettier in just 3 three simple steps! No joke! Just 3 simple steps, I swear. Thanks the princesses for giving us such useful tips, for us, girls :D Now, we can look like princess too!
#1 Princess tip : Take good care of your hair
#2 Princess tip : Do exercise.
#3 Princess tip : Must have your beauty sleep!
Okay, that's your 3 simple steps to looking pretty like a princess! Remember to do it, okay? :D Okay, fuck, that was just all make up by me. Haha. Don't you think I'm innovative to think of sucha interesting topic? Those were models of the costume shop. But don't you think that their action looks like what I've said? And it true that these 3 simple steps can make you pretty, okay!
Goldilocks .... BEHIND BARS?!
Faster get a copy of it to find out more!
Then we move on to our stop. We didn't manage to play Donkey Live and Magic Potion Spin at Far Far Away because we didn't have enough time. Time is not going to wait for us, you know. But at least we have an experience with what 4D movie is like and also have our first roller coaster ride since after we have stepped in at Universal Studios Singapore!
Waterworld. But the timing aren't suitable for us. So, we missed it :(
And guess where are we going next?
Third Stop : The Lost World!
Have you watched Jurassic Park before?
Individual picture of Bingli and me with the gigantic green dinosaur.
Individual picture of Bingli's boyfriend and me with the water fountain of eggs(?)
But all the queue are about at least an hour at The Lost World! Are the games at The Lost World more fun? If not, why are all the queue so super long!? Okay, people, here some tips for you guys when you want to come to Universal Studios Singapore ...
BUY YOURSELF THE EXPRESS TICKET! It really irks me when I saw people with the Express ticket's privilege cutting the queue all the way to the front and get to play first when they came last! The next time I come to Universal Studios Singapore again, I'm so gonna get the express tickets! >:@ So, we save The Lost World for later and head to the next one ...
FOURTH STOP : ANCIENT EGYPT
Giant stone status greeted us.
With the Pharaohs
Revenge of the Mummy. Is this a movie?
Giant status, again greeted us :)
Well, we only played Revenge of the Mummy @ Ancient Egypt. It's a really exciting ride! It's dark in there, so you won't know where the roller coaster are turning next. But the mood was spoilt when some girls behind are chattering what will happened next. Hello~ We haven't experienced yet! We knows you have, so please shut up and let us enjoy! Missed the Treasure Hunters which sounds like exciting too :D Next time perhaps? :D Then we headed off to ...
Then we reached Sci Fi City
We played Cylon, and we didn't play Human. Cylon is much more exciting as our legs are left freely in the air! As quoted from the official website: " The Cylon Raider is a suspended roller coaster that will turn your world upside down as it runs through vertical loops, corkscrews and cobra rolls. The Human Viper Mark II is a seated roller coaster that zooms at 90km/h and propels you fourteen storeys into the air while pursuing the enemy. Riders on both coasters will experience unbelievable thrills as they twist, turn & narrowly avoid collision. " Exciting, right? I think the roller coaster @ Sci Fi City are the most exciting one among all others!
Then we headed to play Accelerator next.
It wasn't fast at all, just like sitting on those children's cup.
Pictures with my boyfriend taken during Accelerator.
Picture of Bingli and her boyfriend in Accelerator.
Picture with Peacock man(?)
SIXTH STOP : NEW YORK
Individual picture of my boyfriend and Bingli

One model shot :)

Hackstand Taxicab : NO PARKING!
Some attractions that can be seen there.
Subway picture. It's my 2nd model shot and Bingli with her boyfriend.
Nights are falling in. So, we decided to go back to The Lost World again. But damn hell, the queue is still fucking a hour! Did the queue even move at all, man?! So, we didn't give a damn about it and queue up for Canopy Flyer as we didn't want to miss it. We don't come here everyday, okay! So, after a super long wait, it's finally our turn. We realised that with every boat come back, there will be one that is unlucky to get soaked, while the others are fine. We're praying hard that we aren't the one! So, it's like exploring around the forest, quite boring. But the last part of it is super surprising and exciting. And guess who's the one getting soaked?
It's MY BOYFRIEND! :D
He's so cute when he's soaked! He keeps saying and complaining all the way saying that the ride wasn't fun, but in actual fact, it's because he's the unlucky one getting soaked. And he was saying like, the ride would be much more fun if he wasn't the one getting soaked. Cute, right? That's my boyfriend for all of you! Haha :D
More pictures of him getting soaked :D
After the Canopy Flyer, the sky was dark and USS are starting to close too. So, we walked back all the way from The Lost World. Then when we reached Far Far Away, we begin taking pictures again as it looks wayyy nicer with lights on. I took quite a few pictures but none of it are as nice as what I've seen personally. Photos are deceiving! Haha :D
Far Far Away
" Welcome to Far Far Away " again :D
The castle looks awesome during the night, I swear.
Individual picture of me and Bingli with this cute little boy :D
SEVENTH ( LAST ) STOP : HOLLYWOOD
It's Bingli and her boyfriend getting their award for...
BEST BOYFRIEND & BEST GIRLFRIEND AWARD! :D
That's both me and Bingli with the BEST GIRLFRIEND AWARD :D
They're old time scary movie monster. Classic uh ~
Not much picture taken at Hollywood, but we saw a lot of Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe stuffs at a booth. Damn classic, okay! How come I didn't saw the fake Marilyn Monroe there? I would take a picture of her with her famous skirt-blowing scene. Laugh out loud! :D Then, just when we're going to left Universal Studios Singapore, we heard announcement that there will be fireworks in a while time ! So, we stayed, and their " a while" are so longgggg! But, we have got the patient to wait for a little while more, since the queue for rides are much longer. And finally, the fireworks came! Took a videos of it, enjoy people! :D
The fireworks are actually much more prettier in real. So, after the fireworks show, we left Universal Studios Singapore. I guess we are in camera maniac, because we just couldn't stop taking pictures when we have already taken tons of it in Universal Studios Singapore. So, from here, are another tons of pictures that we've taken outside after we've left USS
With Keeses' mascot
Garrett's popcorns are LOVE! They're fantabulous! :D

Group shot with Hard Rock Cafe.
Thank you for visiting Resorts World Sentosa
Okay, with the picture above, that end our trip at Waterfront Station, at Universal Studios Singapore. So, we took the monorail back to Siloso Beach Resort. And people, unless you have personal transportation like cars or motorbike, don't ever stay back too late at Universal Studios Singapore or at Waterfront Station, because the queue are much longer than the queue while waiting for the ride in Universal Studios Singapore. It scared us when we thought that we've to wait for that long to get back to the Resort! But luckily, that super long queue are for people going back to Vivo City. Phew~ So, do take note of this ah! :D
So, when we reached Beach Station, we went to MacDonald to get some foods as I'm SUPER SUPER hungry and brought it back to the Resort. When we reached the Resort, my boyfriend and I check in to our room. ( Finally, our room is available! ) So, we took our things from Bingli's room and went to our room. Our room is 806, that's 3 rooms away from Bingli's.
Room 806
Shower place.
There's bathtub too! :D
This will be my first experience with bathtub :)
Relaxing chair. It's super comfy! :D
Our comfy-looking bed.
Television.
There's hairdryer! That's so thoughtful of them!
Safe? What is it for? Looks so weird placing it there.
Our fridge! Open out and see ...
WHAT THE FUCK!? IT'S EMPTY?!?!??!
After we are done with our room, we went to bathe, change into our comfortable sleepwear and went over to Bingli's room. I brought the USB that Leon have lent me with Hangover 1 downloaded inside to Bingli's room to watch. Apparently, their television can put USB :D Bingli brought her long-kept Ice Wine along, so we ordered some side dish to go along with the wine.
What did we ordered?
Home cooked chicken wings with waffle fries. Is that what you called that fries?
Bingli's long-kept Ice Wine
Individual pictures of Bingli and her boyfriend - Theme : Emo
Bingli and her boyfriend on the beach chair
Me and my boyfriend at the rooftop jacuzzi.
We looks like wearing couple shirt. Both red :)
Drinking Ice Wine.
The Ice Wine that Bingli brought are super nice! I'm not a fan of wine, but Ice Wine is best! :D Even my boyfriend, who's also not a fan of drinking wine, says so too! :D But a pity that the Ice Wine only have a little bit of it as the bottle are super skinny. So, we have two cups for each person only D: Then I started getting bored with nothing else to take pictures of, so I do a short story of Gingy. Huifen's production with Gingy and Ice Wine, I named it :
When Gingy meet Ice Wine
Gingy : " What is this cup of thing? "
Ice Wine: " Hello there! I'm Ice Wine. Nice to meet you! :D "
Gingy: " What?! You can talk?! That's awesome! "
Ice Wine: " Yup, I can talk :) I'm not only awesome, I taste awesome too! :D "
Gingy: ( Lift up Ice Wine ) " Really? Can I have a taste of you then? "
Ice Wine: " Sure, you can! "
Gingy: *Gurp gurp * " Wooo! You really taste nice! :D "
Ice Wine: " Of course, I told you! :D "
Okay, I know that's super lame! But a round of applause or standing ovation would do, I don't mind! :D #Thinkskin Okay, I was kidding. I know that's lame and childish! :(
Our last cheer! Yammmm ... Sengggg! :D
After our last cheer, we hang awhile at Bingli's room before heading back to our room and rest as all of us are tired from the trip to Universal Studios Singapore. So, with the picture below, I shall end this post already! Good night, people! Stay tuned for Day 2! :D * Switch off light *
