::its already the last day of the holidays.. would be taking a week or so break from blogging cause of the prelims.. kinda stressed cause I wanna get into a good JC in Jan.. lets see how my holidays ended..
Friday
went to Sentosa with my family to try out the Luge..(most people won't know the proper name of the ride.. they just call it the zoom-zoom thing or something..) know the sled-like thing you sit on as you speed downhill? there was a chairlift too, to bring people and the karts back up hill.. the system they have there was effecient, had conveyor belts and stuff.. the staff only need to get the karts out for the customers?
was quite easy to control, just pull the handle back and release slightly to go forward, pull back to brake.. steer like you would on a bicycle, except you don't have to lean or anything.. was fun, but really felt it could be longer.. the track I mean, a km would be nice..
after the gravity-propelled trip down, it was time to get up again.. the chairlift(my father keeps calling it the liftchair..) ride up was fun..
feels like your floating thru the air cause its just a simple lap restraint.. the view wasn't really spectatcular or anything, the sea and the beach was behind and the trees under your feet.. used to be afraid of heights when I was very young, guess you grow bolder as you grow older.. got back where we start and me and me brother took another ride down again.. although its far from thrilling as a rollercoaster, but its still worth another ride..
got a look at the prices while my father bought the tickets.. $8?? think its alittle overated for such a ride.. after all, its basically a giant slide where you can control your direction and speed.. think you can get the same thrills for free by cycling to the top of a hill and zooming down again, just that you need to use your own strength to get up to the top..
when are they gonna build a real rollercoaster in Singapore?? the one at escape is just a kiddie ride..
Saturday
went to my cousin's house for a buffet today.. my other relatives were also there, those I don't get to see often.. grandfather's brother's side...

they also have a dog, a husky.. think he has grown since the last time I visited.. oh yea and thats my grandfather playing with him.. my grandfather kinda likes dogs.. maybe its because he's name is ah kow(which is translates to dog)? really, check his IC..
anyway, had the buffet at about 7.. even with the 35+ people in the house, there's still alot alot of space left.. wonder how the 4 of them (5 including the maid) live in such a big house.. there's hardly enough room when people come and visit my house for CNY..
went back about 11 after watching School of Rock on his plasma TV..
Sunday
me brother's birthday tomorrow, so went to eat at Crystal Jade.. nothing much special there.. brought along my camera, thought maybe could take some pic but in the end didn't.. the pics from the prev day was still there so print the above pic at the Fujifilm outlet nearby.. the print was well worth the 50cent, was like nothing I've printed myself before.. can't really comment on the colour cause the source pic wasn't really colourful.. but it was very clear.. maybe I would load some of my best pics onto a memory card and print them..
as a great photographer once said: "if the negative is equivalent to a composer's score, then its print is the performance"::
