Day 2 00 Gardens by the Bay, Night Safari

and soooo we spent our saturday at gardens by the bayyyyyy
met up at city hall and had lunch at this soba place. seems pretty healthy and unique~ it was a pity my nose was blocked so all of them tasted almost the same to me. the bottom left was a Must Try but the guys didn't quite like it so i ate it all (since the taste was all the same to me).

then we had yakun as dessert.. (i'm actually eating it as dessert, oh my) cos the guys were still feeling hungry.

took a train to bayfront after that and started with the flower dome. the sun was HOT so we paid $3 for the cart ride from the station to the dome.

flower dome featured a lot of orchid this time and statues crafted from wooden stems

dear's very funny expression.. seongju is just capturing a lot of funny photos. haha.

overview from the top

dear's funny face..

spotted some pretty purplish flowers here

last few spots with all the pixies

same spot, just different lighting

tested out the wide selfie shot of S6. look at the first failed shot. hahahah seongju got alienized..

and the next few was pretty successful

and realised there's an interesting virtual tour mode where you can view the photo as you move your phone. unfortunately the only way to share this online is via a video...

then we headed for the rainforest or cloud dome. look at the venus flytrap - it's all made of lego!

and we're at the grand waterfall

testing out the virtual tour again hehe

there's also a gif mode!

and up we go.....

more virtual tours. hurhru it's pretty fascinating.

and down we go, back to MBS.
afraid we might not be able to enter safari, we went over after a short trip at MBS mall, around 530+pm. managed to enter at 715pm to take the train ride, then catch the Creatures of the Night show.

think the lady picked the wrong audience and had some trouble with the raccoon at the end who refused to put the cans in the recycle bin.the show wasn't as entertaining as i last saw it as they removed the hiding cobra part, but oh well.

we then took a bus to woodlands, when the whole thing ended around 9+pm... but oops i took the wrong bus 927 and it brought us to cck =_= so we mrt back to woodlands and ate the cheap sushi there, plus red velvet mc flurry. there was a night market there selling lots of new food. the salted egg mini pancake looks interesting!

not too bad, but $6 was pretty expensive for such smallies.
after that it was home sweet home, and so near me. hurhur.

Day 3 Gardens by the Bay

went to have lunch at takpo after my korean lessons, then gardens by the bay.

we first visited the flower dome. and oops. it seems my sister and her friends were there as well....

and the flower dome is so pretty!!! we were also awed that it was air-conditioned inside. well done!

here's some pretty white roses. they don't come with thorns!

and guess what! there's a wedding rehearsal going on.

really like those tree-like thing in the middle of the table. and the sparkling ceiling!

it also seems that the decoration of this place is seasonal. it's autumn now so the themes and the settings you see are very autumn-colored.

after we exited the place, we ate ice cream at seventh heaven before going to cloud dome. there were a row of birds that few off here! captured too late.

we then moved to the cloud dome (completely abandoning my sister behind lol). the first thing you see was absolutely breathtaking, a waterfall that spans from the ceiling to the floor, and lots of railing twining around a huge mountain-like structure.

at cloud dome, you walk from the top to the bottom, and i love the top!

oooh this flytrap is almost everywhere. believe it or not, you can buy them as plants to be raised in the souvenir shop!

there was some misty view from the mid level. he says it's 'photoshop effect'. look, our background is all smokey!

mid way, we reached a cave-imitate with all the stalactites.

and we came just in time for the show where it speaks of the way nature would work as the years go by (and global warming). it was actually kinda sad, but we decided that we wouldn't live till 2100 to see it anyway.

there was also nice little structure of our marina area that changes interface with light projection

and a room with many screens. i didn't remember what was the content.

we finally exited to secret garden.

there was a lion's mouth that i wanted to take, and it took almost 5 tries before we got a not so blur shot. =_=

the last part before the exit was filled with interactive screens that you could touch and play games at. interesting!

"배가 빵빵!"
"음, 그럼 그거 빼면 다이어트하고 너의 아가 가 나오면 돼요!'

we walked a bit of the souvenir shops and visited the trees. it was turning dark.

we walked around the nearby park, and talked about what to have for dinner.

we eventually headed over to marina square for dinner.

and then i needed to head off to send kaykey.

however it seems that kk only got to the airport at 11+pm. had a bit of drinks with the rest first, then we sent kaykey off.
