A Rose For Me and You

Hello! I'm back from Singapore. :D
Nothing beats coming home and sitting in front of the TV watching American Idol, even though I did just come back from pretty Singapore. :)
Okay I'm not sure if that made any sense. But anyway,

In Singapore:

1. I got my fair share of angpows. :D
I visited more relatives than I did this Chinese New Year compared to the last, thus the increase of my angpow money- although more than half of it is going into the bank.

2. I got bitten by my cousin's evil hamster.
My cousin has two adorable hamsters- a white and a brown. Coincidentally, the white one is the sweet, innocent furry little thing while the brown one is the one who bit my finger and left it bleeding white it scurried in a corner, probably licking the blood stains off it's mouth. Meh.

3. I went to the beach!
The beach in Singapore is really nice and clean (no surprise there). There were a lot of people camping there, which is something you seldom see back here. One day, I too shall camp at the beach. :)

4. I camwhored at my aunt's brick wall.
See, the brick wall outside my aunt's condo makes a very good place for taking pictures. And so, my cousin, my sister and I spent some time posing at the wall taking pictures- most of which were deleted because we either looked weird or retarded. :)

5. We had a traditional Chinese New Year tea ceremony.
It was this little thing that my cousin's family picked up last year, and so this year when I arrived at their house I was surprised to see my niece wearing a baju kebaya and pouring tea. The little ones had to kneel down before the elders and say a few prosperous words before happily getting their red-packets.

6. I visited the Merlion.
FINALLY. After many years of visiting Singapore, I have never, never been to Merlion Park. This comes from the fact that every time I go to Singapore, I go as a visit to my relatives and never as a tourist. I thought the Merlion would be larger though, hmm.

7. I didn't get to do any shopping.
THIS IS VERY SAD. The time in Singapore was spent driving around looking for relatives' houses, or going around to relatives' houses, or swimming or laying back on the couch watching I Not Stupid 2 or playing Monopoly Deal- which by the way, is a much nicer game to play than Monopoly. :)
So yeah, no shopping. :(

But other than that, I had a cool time in Singapore, yup. :)
