[tour guide day 1]

Still have to report to office zzz anyway, schedule changed as it is : Botanical Gardens > Sentosa > Vivocity.

Botanical Gardens is quite nice actually, peaceful and quiet. Oh the weather was kinda good tho, cloudy and not hot. Orchid Garden entry costed $5/adult, was intrigued by the sheer species of orchids there. Some were so tiny like golden specks while some are so adorable and fragile. Lady boss went back after bringing us to Botanical Gardens and then brought us to Mount Faber for a cable ride to Sentosa.

I did not choose Sentosa in the first place because I am not too familiar with that place haha and it is not exactly that small that u can walk to places quickly. Anyway the cable car ride was thrilling, seeing all the above and with the cool breezes blowing into the cabin. There was some major land filling work going ard Sentosa. From the outside there seemed not to be much changes to Sentosa. The most recent I went there was in 2003? for some camp's lunch thing @ Rasa Sentosa.

There is a new training center for Temasek Poly students, we happened to meet one of them who offered us her help when we were kinda lost on there to go. A Shanghainese who is here in TP to study tourism. I was surprised to see that kind of level of standard given to us, Asians. From what I know most people in the service/tourism line will only see angmohs and the rest are dog shit.

So we went to butterfly and insect park, 4D Cinema which was absolutely fun, Underwater World and Siloso Beach before going to Vivocity with aching legs and back. It is definitely not cheap to go Sentosa. For those places we went, we already paid like $100+ for tickets! Vivocity is huge ahha, went there for the first time.

After walking for awhile, we went back to office and lady boss brought us for steamboat dinner @ Taka at 7+. The food is not bad actually, good soup and i had like 2 plates of fresh oysters haha. Went back myself and lady boss and the manager went for some shopping.

Next day, china manager came to office to handle some work related issues. Went for a very nice Penarakan lunch @ Joo Chiat, went back to office and we had another hefty dinner @ Suntec's Muthu's curry. Having downed so much spices in one day, my arse was burning when I pang sai the next day haha...and I did not have dinner at home for 3 nights.

And tmr is sunday. zzz
