I flew today!!!! =)

3 Fs: Fly For Free!!!

All teachers, either existing or in the process of being one (like me) get to enjoy a FREE ride on the SINGAPORE FLYER in lieu of Teachers' Day!!!!

*woots!*

Of course must take full use of the rare chance right!

So me, Eleanor, Gary, Ivan and Zong Lun boarded the world's largest observation wheel, and it was sooooooooo much fun!

Eh, actually the ride was not really that fantastic/amazing/extraordinary.

It was the feeling of finally getting the opportunity to onboard this new addition to Singapore's landmark family, and of course, it was the company of friends that made the whole trip enjoyable.

Other than taking in the magnificent view of our lovely homeland (which is heavily contrasted with the ugly, on-going construction works for the upcoming IR), we took lots of photos, so much so that my cam batt died on me... :(

Thank goodness Ele brought an extra batt along (we have the same cam!)...

Anyway, kudos to Gary, who drove us there and made our lives much more easier... :)

We went in the evening, cos we wanna catch the sunset and the transition from day to dusk...

Crowd was quite big there, and guess who I saw?!?!

Huang Yi Liang, an ex-actor from MediaCorp... No big deal, right? Wait till you hear this...

After a short break at Popeyes, where we ate their biscuits (I miss the taste so much!), we walked to the ride entrance, and then we saw QI YU WU!!! (some call him 715) For your ignorance he's the lead actor in 881 and The 12 Lotus.

I was totally in shock (which I dunno why) so I kept hitting Eleanor's arm to tell myself that I'm not dreaming. *hehs*

I know it sounds like I'm a total fanatic fan of 715, but actually, I'm not. Just very excited upon seeing someone from the picture screen whom I used to admire. *HAHAHA*

We then saw him actually queueing up to buy tickets for the ride. Hmmm....seems pretty weird right... So a celebrity does not enjoy special privileges, huh?

Anyway, back to the ride.

We almost had the whole capsule to ourselves, cos there were only us and a mother and son. Shiok. Dun have to squeeze or fight for space to stand. Nice.

Let's enjoy the beautiful pictures I took... =)

(this one not included...*heehee*)

Up up UP we go!!!

ZL, Gary, Ivan, Eleanor and ME!!! =)

We belonged to Bart Simpson during FOC... *HA!*

This is the ugly contrast I'm referring to.

Eh...how to play soccer there? What if the ball gets kicked too high and landed into the river??

Someone 'spoilt' this wonderfully taken pic of mine. *hrmpf*

The sun is setting!!!

The sun's setting~

Taken by Eleanor, when we were about to land. I have to admit, it's a 'professional' shot.

So there goes 30 minutes of our lives, but I think it's worth the time... Plus it's complimentary! *heehee*

Next, Swensen's for dinner at MS. Had free sundaes too! *yummy* Kudos to Gary again.

And then we shopped around a bit for Ele's shoes...

I tell you, this friend of mine can wear her sandals until they broke, and twice were with me!

I remembered the first time I had to ask around for a rubber band while she stood on the spot (cos couldnt walk!), so she could tie her foot to the broken sandals together.

Then the second time was when we were walking, and it snapped. Luckily I had my own rubber band (the one used to tie hair, not those red ones) if not she wouldnt make it home. *hehs*

Saw several nice sandals, but not those that are love in first sight kind. So she didnt buy.

And that was that.

So the main point of this post is to tell you people...that I flew today. *HAH*
