First stop, the Singapore Zoo! 
This animal er...looks like a monkey, or maybe...it looks like a beaver. LOL. ( I think it dyed its fur white to make itself look old. Whatever.) 
Parrots. Start talking. (Later, one of the parrots can sing English, Malay and Mandarin song!) 
Me and Jun Song. We were crossing a bridge. There's many crocodiles down there. Scary. 
OH. MY. GOSH. This beaver is super, hyper, mega, ultra CUTE. I WANT IT!!!!!!! 
Lazy fox. I'm sure it's sleeping. (It's not dead, okay? Well, I hope so.) 
Brrr...cold. Polar bear! It's fur is soooo white and cozy. If only it's used to make a coat...ahh..nice and warm. (I know. It's animal abused. Shh.) 
What the...? A dear who wants to dye it's fur but failed. Nice stripes you got there, but you failed to immitate a zebra. Sorry. 
Wow, so fierce. Who do you wanna charge at? Right on! 
These buffaloes are humble. Look up, peeps! So big body but so scary-cat. Geez. 
The grass is too yummy until you posed your butt out for the camera. Great. 
Yay. We took this beside the butt-posing goat. Jun Song, me and Yee Shing. (My dad don't wanna develop this picture, he said it's too blur. Damn.) 
Here are the real zebras! All stripes, nice and clear. 
Maybe you can't see what it is. That's because you're too blind. I think it's a white beaver. It's like umm...as long as the length of a normal ruler. So, you can imagine how tiny it is. Haha. 
WHOA. From tiny to tall. What's it looking at? (Maybe finding for it's mate. xD) 
*whispers* The lioness is looking at you. Don't panic, don't look at it. Chill, walk away and RUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...................... 
*panting* This...huff...leopard is as...huff...tired...as I am..huff-huff... (I took this through the glass.) 
Some negro panther. (Not pink panther.) I'm sure it dyed it's own fur too. Wanna make it black and shiny. 
Alert alert alert. Leopard awake. Don't swim in the water. 
Don't be shy, come on. Don't hide, we can see your slinky body. 
Mr. Turtle, what in the world are you doing? 
Thanks for looking into the camera! Trust me, I'll make you very famous. (Use it for SK II advertisement. Before, the skin is so scaly; after, the skin so smooth like glass!) 
Wow, snakes are more into camwhoring than I thought. I'll make you very famous too! (Use it for London's slimming centre. Before, a big fattie; after, will be as skinny as Ms. Snake.) 
Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree top; when the wind blows, the cradle will stop... 
The hidden tortoise. You're a very good artist, you carved the pattern on your shell yourself, didn't you? 
Look, see, look, see; Lang-ka-wi. LOL. My sister used to say that. 
Big iguana. Remember, they're herbivores. (Learnt it after watching Beverly Hills Chihuahua.) 
This tortoise (or turtle) is 1000 years old. Seriously, it may look small in the picture, but it's actually huge. 
Lookie here. The camera is here! 
I think it's saying,"Alamak! Sudah termakan kulit pisang lah. Cis!" LOL. I think this picture is so dang cute. x333 
Can't you stop pecking your feathers? I've been watching you for a long time. Your feathers are dropping one by one without you noticing it. Bird-brain. 
Umm...this is a...[input a gigantic, aquatic mammal here]. 
Don't be sad, your life is better than mine. =( 
This is an iguana, but it's smaller than the normal size of an iguana. It's about...the length of a Premier tissue box. 
Welcome to Ape Land. *monkey chatters* We are, the one and only, red-butted baboons! 
Jump, jump! Hop, hop! Roo is at stake, Mrs. Kanga. 
Aww...you look so cuddly. Lemme hug you! 
Whoa, I don't wanna hug you in standing position. I want the previous position! 
Mrs. Kanga, Roo grew up very fast! See, he can stand already! 
Hippo! Why isn't it blue? Hmm... 
This fish has a beard! I think it's ageing already. 
Fishy fishy. Why is your nose so long? 
Small, little turtle finding for it's Mummy. 
You blurdy white tiger! You killed an innocent zookeeper! Damn you! 
Take your picture very closely so that the victim's family can sue you! 
I thought tapirs had already extinct. Maybe not. Stomachs were grumbling and rumbling and bling-bling. Whatever. So we went somewhere to eat some not-so-tasty food.
This. Qian Xi Restaurant. There were many wedding tables inside. Obviously, someone was getting married. 
After finishing our food, we zoomed across Orchard Road! The owner of this shopping mall is a christian. The words on the mall says: ......WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. Matthew 8:3. (I'm not sure what verse was it.) I agree with the owner. Nothing is impossible for God. Amen. 
Man, I love this Christmas tree! The bus was moving so fast but I can capture it clearly. Yea, yea, I know I'm an awesome photographer. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 
Can't capture it clearly. But I'm sure you can see they are wreaths placed in the shape of a triangle. 
Yes! I almost forgot, Orchard Road is full of lights! Colourful and bright. Nice. 
And this is Suntec City! 
That's the "durian" building at the left. 
This is a bridge in Singapore. I think it's nicer than the Penang Bridge. =X 
I love this picture of the Merlion! I captured it in such a way that the Merlion seems outstanding. My dad loves this picture too. =D 
This seems like a romantic picture. The water is so calm and peaceful. I like it. 
The Merlion, Suntec City, the lights, God's creation. 
Aha! Better view of the "durian" building. Hehe. 
I took the bridge again. I like the reflection in the water. 
It looks a bit like the previous picture. But that picture has some street lights in it. 
The Ferris wheel of Singapore. I had to blur it a little or the colours on the wheel cannot be seen. 
This picture of the bridge is the best of all the other pictures of the bridge I took. The lighting is brighter here. 
Queennie the Cutie and Me. This picture is incredible! It was taken by Jun Song. Thanks!^^ 
The yet-to-finish gambling block of Singapore. It's amazing although it's only halfway done. 
Suntec City again. I love the way the tree is blocking the view of the city. 
Another picture of the "durian" building and the buildings across the lake/river/sea. 
See that Ferris wheel? Appreciate it. After that, we went back to the hotel. Our hotel is the Hotel 81. Yea, I know. It's in Geylang street where all the prostitudes/whores/sluts hang around and waits for older guys to come around and er...do something with them. (You know what I mean.) Anyway, my roomies were younger than me and total strangers to me. But they made me feel so comfortable around them. They are Yong San and Jia Mian. (I think I spelt their English name wrongly. Sorry.) The next day, we woke up real early to have breakfast.
And here we are, the 51 Old Airport Road, Food Centre & Shopping Mall. I don't really consider it as a "shopping mall", but I bought a lot of "Mystic Water" over there where they give you a Neopet plushie free for every bottle you buy. The food there were tasty too! I had to delete the pictures I took about the food because my memory card was full. Lucky me. =3= 
Singapore in the morning. Still peaceful and calm. And clean. 
Queennie the Cutie, me and Yu Shing. This photo was taken by Jun Song. Pretty good. After we had our breakfast, off we go to Haw Par Villa.
The Ferris wheel in the morning. Can't really see the Ferris wheel. 
Much better. A clear view of it. 
We reached our first destination of the day. Haw Par Villa. 
The entrance to Haw Par Villa. Elaborate. 
Jun Song took Queennie the Cutie and me again. Queennie was talking with her mum on the phone. Aww...she's homesick. Cute. After we took this picture, our whole group of people went missing. In other words, we were the one who's missing. Queennie and Jun Song were very scared. I admit that I'm quite afraid too. So we had to followed the next group around Haw Par Villa in case we got lost. We didn't get to see the 18 levels of Hell. 
Jun Song and me. Queennie took this picture of us. Thank you. 
When I was taking this picture, Queennie said, "We're lost and you still have the mood to take pictures?!" LOL. She's very stressed up by that time. Chill, dude. Later, when we were found, we got a little scolding from the guide and the teachers. How embarrassing since I was the oldest one there. Then, they advised us not to run around in Sentosa Island (we were going there later) as it is a very big place. Well, whatever. We continued our journey. 
Everyone in this picture were trying to touch the hand of Cai Shen Ye (God of Wealth) because whoever touches it will have wealth. Some were touching the head of an old man (I don't know what's it called.) because whoever touches it will have long-lasting life. Nobody's touching the man in green at the right side of the picture because whoever touches it will have four husbands/four wives. LOL. Jun Song and me didn't touch the picture at all. We are Christians. =) 
Down the hill we go, back to the bus. This four models posed for the camera! Yi Xue, Lucas, Calvin and the Anne aka our guide. 
Another pose. It's Anne aka our guide, Yi Xue, Lucas and Calvin this time. Kachak! 
This house costs S$2,000,000+++. It's not even a Semi-D. Oh, well. 
It's a church. Christian Community Chapel. Sorry, Cephas and Constance. Can't find your church. 
IDK why I took this picture. LOL. 
I can see Merlion's head! There's people on top of it! (We're going there later.) 
This must be the gambling block. I'm not so sure. Haha. 
We're in Sentosa already! 
I took Queennie when we were about to watch the 4D show, The Pirates. After the camera flashed, the worker in charge announced, "Photo-taking are not allowed." LOL. I'm sure she was talking about me. xD 
Yik Thong and me. I forgot who took this picture. Very, very sorry. But, thanks! 
Queennie the Cutie and me. Maybe Jun Song's the one who helped me take these pictures. xD We were on our way to the revolving tower that swivels 360°. We had to queue-up quite some time. But it was worth it. Hehe. 
Here it is. The tower that revolves 360°. 
We were queuing The person who's pointing at something-which-I-don't-know is Toh Gee Ann. He's ambition is to be the prime minister of Malaysia. Don't laugh, respect him, okay? 
The Merlion's head. Tiny people on top. Cutie! 
Singapore~!!! The Lion City! 
Small little fishing town (I think.) down there... 
Still can see the Merlion...Tiny... 
Nice place. Nice sky. (Seriously, I don't know how to describe anymore.) 
Wow, tiny people below. So cute! (In my camera, I can zoom in until I can see their faces. LOL.) 
That two orange thingie? My teacher is sitting below one of them eating New Zealand Natural ice-cream! 
Zoomed the lenses down down down until...Images of Singapore. That's where we gonna go later. 
This is the orange building (LOL.) aka Images of Singapore. Super big! 
Wow, nice right? Actually, it's a poster. Hahahahahahaha. 
Took this fountain picture when we were on our way to the top of the Merlion's head! Woohoo! 
The one and only, Merlion! (Hey, I can see a figure on top of it's head. -_-) 
Me and Yik Thong. Took this picture before going in the entrance to the top of the Merlion's head. 
The Merlion's head is such a long way, we only arrived at it's mouth. LOL. That's Queennie, me, Jun Song and Jin Ee. (Sorry guys if I spelt your name wrongly.) 
Yes! Finally reached the top of the Merlion's head! I took this snakey thingie from the top. Actually, it's the Sentosa Island theme park. The snakey thingie are slides filled with water. 
I love this picture! It's Jun Song, Queennie, me and Madam Tan/Cheng/Chen. (Not sure. I only know her Mandarin name and her nickname the students gave to her: Cabbage Head. =X) 
On our way to have lunch. I love this waterfall. It's so pretty. 
The small bridge made the whole picture look so romantic. The only thing missing is a hunk. Oh, well. 
Looks like we're in Korea. LOL. Just kidding. I'm still in Singapore. xD 
Went in here. Wax-figures time. 
We're gonna have our adventure right now! 
They talked about some stories about Singapore. The people in the four images can move! LOL. 
Ahahaha, it's me. LOL. Just focus on the background. == 
These people are wax figures. They look so real! 
Can see that I'm camwhoring. xD It's me and Queennie. (Where's Jun Song? O__o) 
Queennie and me again. This way...to the Torture Room. Muahahahahahaha. Just kidding. =D 
I love the background and I love Queennie! It's us again! 
People were lining up to sit on that trishaw. This is Jin Hong sitting like a king on the trishaw. Haha. (My brother says he's Queennie's boyfriend. =X) 
Yay! We finally get to sit on the trishaw! Heck, who's blurdy fan is that at the left side?!! 
Much better. Thanks, Jun Song, for taking the picture! =) 
Walking into the Celebration Garden. I look totally weird. 
In a housie! What kind of pose is that, Queennie? O___o 
Jingle bells. On the tree says: Christmas at Sentosa. Sweet. 
Find the odd one out. 8D 
LOL. Waiting for all the students to line-up. Wasted time taking Mat Sallehs. xD We went to Underwater World of Singapore too. So many fishes. Big, small, fat, thin, nice, weird, ugly, pretty, tall, short, smooth, scaly and etc. etc. etc. 
Now this is the stingray! Polka-dotted? *confused* 
Silvery Awana fishie... 
Er...swordfish..? *scratches head* 
The diver is feeding the fishie. 
Fishes, don't eat the food he gives you all, eat him instead! 
Can you see anything? Look closely, it's an octopus! (It's supposed to be orange in colour.) 
King Clang! (Maybe bigger.) 
Aww...baby swordfishes. x333 
Plant or fish? 
Why, of course, it's a fish! xD 
Many Angelfishes, many Doreens, but no Nemoes? (I set this for my computer background.) 
LOL. Went to the toilet 'cause Queennie wanna pee. She looks a lot like the Koala bear beside her. xD 
JELLYFISHIE!!! (To Jil Ee: This is your cousin! xD) 
My dad said this fish is a legendary fish. He said it had legs and walked on land last time. Interesting... 
Me with the shark on top of my head. Haha. It's blur 'cause I'm stepping on a flat, moving escalator. 
It's me again. Hehe. Jun Song takes pictures very nicely. 
An Angelfish. A swimming zebra with a tinge of yellow. Hahahahahaha. 
Weirded out. Focus on the aquarium, please. 
Went outside to wait for the other students to come out. Camwhoring time! xD 
Say hi to everyone! 
I didn't know turtles like camwhoring too. Dolphin performance coming up! We rushed to take our places. I got to sit in front. Front front, without other people's head bobbing in front of me. Yay!
This is the stage where the dolphins are gonna perform. It is surrounded by water. Like an island in the middle. =] 
Shh...Cabbage Head is asleep...=X 
Pink dolphin rocks! 
Peek-a-boo! 
What the...? What are you doing here? 
It said hi to us. How sweet. =3 
The dolphin trainer is checking her dolphin's teeth. 
One hoop...! 
Two hoops...!!! 
When the trainer showed them a fish, they shook their heads. When the trainer showed them three fishes, they shook their heads. When the trainer showed them nine fishes, they still shook their heads. Finally, the trainer showed them two buckets of fishes, they nodded their heads. A bunch of smart-asses. 
Let's play ball! 
No more playing. 
Back turn and fall into the water! SPLASH! 
What? A ballet dancer? 
Springed out from the water and munched the fishie! 
It's waist is too big for it to hula-hoop, so it used its nose. Hehehe. 
It came back smiling. Aww... 
Dolphin arches! 
LOL. The dolphins are doing an attitude. (FYI: It's a ballet term.) 
A full pirouette!!! Sweeeeeeeeet!!! It's evening already. We had dinner and waited for everyone to finish their meals and line-up. Preparing to watch The Song of the Sea. All the girls were doing nothing in particular. So... 
They made a star. As usual. Guess which is Anne aka our guide's hand? =S 
Is that a picture behind me? Hmm... 
I'm sure not! 
I got the front seat again when we arrived. This is where the performance took place. A village... 
Flashed Queennie. (And was warned no photo-taking. Again.) 
Many dances and singing. But they were lip-syncing. Looks very real. 
Many laser-beams were shot out to form a picture. This looks like an octopus, or a jellyfish. 
See a fish? They used many lights to project it on water. 
A volcano's face. Haha. 
This is actually a starfish. The lights lit up because she was saved. 
This is a water-lady. Pwetty... 
Fountains! With lights too! =D 
Wow, fountain with golden lights! Woohoo!!! 
Damn bright man! 
Lights projected on water. I think she's an actress. 
Marvellous... 
Best of all!!! The performance was fantastica! But everyone was tired and sleepy. So we went back to the hotel. We packed our bags (we're leaving for Johor the next day) and prepared everything. Then, sweet dreams! We had breakfast in the Old Airport place again the next day. Hahaha.
I took Queennie when we were watching the teachers rushed to buy the cheapest, nicest, softest *drum rolls* towels. =3= Heck, they only cost S$10 for 6 towels. 
Always passed by this scene. Always took this scene. Always thought it's a nice scene. -_- 
Aww...somebody didn't sleep well last night. (Actually, we were playing and chatting the whole night long. Hehehe.) 
Warning: Do not sleep in the bus as you will end up like this. (Yik Thong, don't kill me. =X)Yay! We arrived at the Jurong Birdpark at last. There are about 3000+ (more or less, I'm not sure.) different species of birds there. Some colourful, some not; some pretty, some not; some tall, some not and lots more.
A parrot, but a really small one. As tall as a popsicle stick. 
A superb picture. Am I seeing a man over there? 
Vultures. People call them "The Undertaker of the Wild" because they fee on dead bodies. Ugh. 
Tallest and the most elegant, I present to you...Penguins! 
Find the odd one out. The answers are below. 
This, is the odd one out. When I took this picture, I heard a little boy said, "Mummy, all these penguins are so cute. Can we keep them?" I almost laughed. Now, I can laugh here. Hahahahaha. Later, we watched the birds perform. Most of them were vultures. Before the performance started, the eagles were flying from left to right, left to right. (Most of the audience were screeching, like birds. ==) 
Fed after doing a trick. 
It's eyes was covered by a piece of red cloth, but it can do tricks without seeing anything. Smart. 
Perching... 
SWOOP!!! (See, its legs are tied together so it won't fly away. How sad.) 
White owl. What's its name again... 
These two are the funniest birds ever. They are brothers and they kept communicating with each other. LOL. 
See? Talkie-talkie! xD 
Her hand must be in a lot of pain. It's heavy. 
Whoa, two of them! 
Munch, munch, munch.
Hahahaha. I love this bird so much! Don't stop pulling his shoelaces! xD
It used a stone to break the ostrich's egg.
If the egg is much smaller, it uses it's beak to crack it. Smart chap.
What's it looking at? Oh right, the trainer's pocket. (There's meat inside. ==)
A huge bird. He looks old.Later, the guide brought us to see the parrots. Many different kinds of species. Some of them have the same colours. Hmm...I wonder how the people know how to differentiate them.
Before I went to see the parrots, I took a picture with the flamingos! =)
Flaming, eh?
Parrots time!
This looks pinkish...
Why are you biting the plastic chain? Don't they feed you?!
Talk! Talk! Talk! 
This could say,"Cakaplah!" LOL.Another bird performance. The previous performance was all about eagles and vultures. The birds were more colourful in this performance. Mostly parrots, though.
Flamingos cat-walking. Oh wait, flamingo-walking. Hahaha. 
Great hair, Mr. Parrot! ;D 
Ooo, a horn-bill.
A tookie-tookie! Cute!
Mr. and Mrs. Tookie-Tookie. It's their real name. Honest!
Do parrots play basketball? Hmm...
Yes, yes, YES! Through the hoop you go!
Umm...Can't remember what's this bird...
It's pelicans' turn to pelican-walk. xD
Aha! The cleverest bird EVER! It sang the song "Rasa Sayang", "客人来, 看爸爸..." and one more English song but I forgot what was it. Darn!After the performance, some people got their face painted. I took a picture of some of them to show my beloved, pitiful brother who can't go to the trip 'cause he fell sick and I had to replace him. (I was very, very reluctant.) I was face-painted too. LOL.
Hau Yew, Shi Jin and Toh Gee Ann. (F.Y.I: Shi Jin's Garena ID is noobiebie1. Feel free to add him. ^^)
Now, this, is yours truly! That's Megan beside me. =]Power lab! Haha. Ahem, what I meant was, we went to the science centre in Singapore, too. Can learn many stuff over there, unlike the science centre in Petronas Twin Tower. So boring! ==
Big fake dinosaur! Scare those little kids. Good! *evil laughs*
A clown coming down a rope. (Actually, it's a fake person. Kept climbing up and down and up and down the rope. -_-)
It's a...tall, long, sticky-thingie that swirls around...?
Bubbles! Bubbles! I love bubbles! (Including the Bubbles in Powerpuff Girls. 8D)
Metal sculptures for my brother. Looks weird.
Another one...
People looking in awe at that thing in the glass box which is a...er...ball-keeps-on-dropping-through-a-maze machine. Hehe.
A very unique picture. Did you notice that the water never flowed out but came out one by one?
Magnificent! It's actually a huge tree (of course it's fake.) and if you stuck your head in one of the tree trunks (there's a hole in every tree trunk.) there's a computer with a camera which takes your photo and your photo will appear in one of the screens at the tip of the tree branch. ;D
But we took a picture using the old-fashioned way...
Can you see the floor with lights? Every time you walk pass that path the lights on the floor will light up!
I agree with this statement my whole life!!! Jesus lives, yeah!!! Hahaha. There's a half-opaque board and when you send an SMS to a number that's mentioned beside the board, your message appears on the board! Cool!
A boat in the sea...
...or Albert Einstein...We went to a temple later. (We went to TWO temples the whole trip but NOT even a church!) After that, the guide told us we were free to go shopping! Yik Thong became so alert, hahahaha. The shopping complex was just behind the temple. Fortunately. Or else we have to walk some more. I'm lazy. xD
Chinatown Complex!
A clearer view...(I think I can spot Jun Jie, Hau Yew and Jin Hong.)When it was time to gather together, I saw Yik Thong didn't buy much. Surprisingly. So, it was time to go back to Malaysia! Gotta cross the immigration again. Can't take any pictures there. *sigh*
On our way, Queennie took a picture with Oscar the Penguin! =)
Yee Shing kissing her beloved...xD
Malaysia, here we come!
Blurred...
We went to a hotel in Malacca to stay for a night. This Christmas tree belongs there! =]The following day, we had our breakfast in this really fancy ballroom. Later, we went for a tour around Malacca. We went to the famous Red House. I don't know the history behind it. I was busy taking pictures and not listening a single word the guide was saying, until I got scolded. So embarrassing, since I was the oldest there and got scolded. Oh my gosh...
There, fancy X light. ^^
Malacca Art Galore.
I think this is a historical fountain...
I had to take this picture quickly. They didn't even wanna walk pass this church, let alone going in. The world is so unfair. We already went to two temples already! ='(
Beautiful trishaw. Had to take the picture when the owner's not looking, or I had to pay RM3 for capturing his trishaw.
Goody, he had his back turned!
It's a Melaka tree. (Seriously, I'm not sure which one is it as there were many trees here. =X)
I didn't know Malacca had a Ferris wheel...
Somebody said this was an old ship.
This is the...um...
Took pictures with the...umm...
Thanks, Jun Song, for taking Queennie and me with the...err...
The...
This two people here can sing English, Malay and Mandarin songs. (Just like the parrot, but they get paid.)
Anne took this picture of us. Queennie, me and Jun Song. =D
Captured with the ancient tombstones...
It's me again. And the background, of course.
Loss of words.
He was playing the harmonica non-stop. I gave him RM1 for taking his photo. I gave him earnestly, 'cause his playing was fantastic. (I know you'll say I'm stingy. =P)
The something-something.
It's hard to find a canyon without anybody sitting on it.
Umm...a house/hut/shack...?
Malaysia do have revolving towers too!
I took this picture because I saw this picture in my computer class in school. LOL.
The man who wears a white coat, white tux, white shoes, and has white hair! xD Everybody was dying to take a picture with him. I'm so lucky! 8D
This is his shop! He's Mr. Tan Kim Hock. Familiar with him?We continued our way back to school after this. Some students were watching the television programme, but most were asleep. Take a lookie!
This is Jun Song, the great photographer! =D (And beside her is Wai Ying.) 
Jin Hong's sleeping pose is so cool. (He's gonna strangle me in school. =X)Well, I can't say my holiday was awesome or it sucked, but I hope the 2009 holidays will come as soon as possible. Make the days fly, people! Happy 2009! =D
