.::. Attacking Singapore? .::.

This was finally published!

http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_685238.html

We encountered this around Times Square in New York City about a month ago and it was disturbing! He stood around with this huge board, and shouting 'Singapore' very loudly. The first time, I thought I was mistaken. But the second time we walked past, I saw the sign and was really disturbed.

It wasn't about our Prime Minister, but his wife, Ho Ching. Something about condoning some sort of discrimination? It just sounded really offensive. He looked abit crazy, otherwise I would have took a picture of the sign. I tried googling about it, but didn't find anything.

I wonder if our government is going to catch him and bring him to court?

It seems that he lost his job in Singapore, which resulted in such behavior according to Singapore's reports. But seriously? Who knows?

It's disturbing. I wonder, when people think of Singapore, what is their first thought?

.::. Rockpot .::.

Rockpot is a little quaint town near the coast. It's famous for its cheap and fresh lobsters. We drove for about an hour from Boston to get there, and it was one of my favourite stops of the trip.

It was so cold, about 8 degrees and drizzling.



This is the famous lobster shop. Roy Moore's. It's one of those small shops with lots of character. They serve their lobsters with fries, and you can eat them behind the shop, with a sea view. You sit on crates, and it's just really traditional and nice.

Alas, it was too cold and wet that day. I was shivering when I got out the car and there was no way I was going to enjoy eating lobsters out in the cold. I wished we could have ate on the crates outside though we ended up at their restaurant down the road.




The famous dishes were clam chowder and lobster, and that was what we had. I am really good at eating lobsters! Got the meat out super fast and clean while the boyfriend wondered how to do it. *beams with pride.




We were both enjoying the lobsters really. It was so fresh and sweet.




I really liked this town. We had the famous apple strudle, and took fun 80's pictures in a small studio (pictures of that another day).

On the way back to the car, this bird stayed so still even when I keep inching nearer to take a picture. He just stood so still and looked at me.




If only...the weather was good then. It would have been spectacular. I think I would have loved strolling along the coast and enjoying lobsters and apple strudels by the sea.

Someday!

.::. Us @ Niagara .::.



This may be my favourite picture of the whole trip, simply because I remembered being very happy at that moment. We were so near Niagara, and the force of the water and wind made it difficult to keep our balance. Yet both of us were trying so hard to take pictures, despite being worried about getting our camera spoilt.

I enjoyed the 'Maid of the Mist' very much, so fun. Beautiful memories.

Oh, and my teeth looks so straight and white! I didn't edit the picture! =p

.::. Magic Kingdom .::.

I'm not sure it's new or an Orlando Disney thingy, we were given a 'photopass'. You could give this pass to any of the many photographers around the park and they'll scan it to take pictures for you. After that, you can go online with your unique pass number to view all the pictures taken.

Honestly, I think it's amazing! But obviously, we were very skeptical about things like that for they always cost a bomb. We didn't take that many pictures with the pass since we wanted the pictures in our camera instead.

In the end? It really cost too much! It's a ridiculous US$14.95 for 2 4R prints. You can edit photos and add borders, and do many fancy things with it.

I couldn't bear to buy the pictures. However, I did a pretty smart thing - I did many printscreens of the pictures! I have all of them now, abeit at a not-so-good quality.



Walt Disney's world.

I really appreciate this man's amazing dream which came true and as a result, brought so much happiness to so many people around the world!






I love Mickey and Minnie!




The photographer, this very old man went like, now you can kiss her, go. Lol.

I find myself loving Disneyland more and more everytime I visit it. I really wouldn't mind going again!

It really does feel like the happiest place on earth. I always laugh so much when I'm there, and everyone's so nice and happy.

Let the memories begin.

.::. GOD .::.

An unique and goddamn expensive way to evangelize in Orlando.

Unlimited reach, the sky is your canvas.



If you ask me?

I think it's insane.

Probably better off spending the time and money to do some charity work in the name of god?

Oh well.

.::. Burpees! .::.

This is so cool.



I miss Europe! There are so many beautiful cities which I haven't been to.

On hindside, Italy may probably be my favourite European country - Rome, Florence and Venice were all really beautiful. It's a hard fight with Norway's breathtaking scenery.

So I haven't had the energy to get my workouts going again, but I'm still working on the arms though. I'm still jet-lagged, sleeping by 11pm and getting up at 5am?

Will work for more travels.

.::. Brooklyn Bridge .::.

This is my favourite view of New York City for I seem to 'feel' the city standing across the bridge.









I seriously think that this view is better than the bird's eye view from the top.

Isn't it beautiful?
