The Night across Marina Bay Sands

Busy day.
I wrote in today and received an email from Rachel asking me to get down in the evening. Finally got to see her in person. I am really hoping for good news.
Well, I met a new friend a two weeks ago. We actually went to Sentosa together. He is from Armenia and his name is Vahan and he is such a funny person.
Not trying to stay negative, but I believe our friendship would not last long, despite going out almost every day.
I just want a normal friend, a friendship, I believe it is difficult to find one. An acquittance once said to me that I don't have to look for the right one but I just have to be the right one.

After I met Rachel, we went down to Thai Express at The Esplanade. Luckily I called in the morning to reserve the Mango Sticky Rice and Avocado Milkshake, otherwise, they were going to tell us that it is out of stock, just like the other week.

Mango Glutinous Rice
Mango Glutinous Rice S$6.80
Kway Teow Roll with Minced chicken and tofu
Kway Teow Roll with Minced chicken and tofu S$10.30
Dark Soya Tofu
Dark Soya Tofu S$9.30
The menu states Tofu but they shouldn't put this. It is misleading because it is tokwa and it is obviously different from tofu even though they are the same species.
Craypot Glass Noodle
Craypot Glass Noodle S$15.60
Well it was very oily with just one crayfish only. Generally it is not worth it. 

I had Avocado Milkshake and he had Chiangmai Mango smoothie.
This was my second to Thai Express there, the waiters and waitresses are too busy and always serving us the wrong food haha. I don't really like it but the food are average. I just like the location and the crowd of course. They are hard working people.
But I have to agree with Vahan that Thai Accent is better. Unfortunately, they do not have Avocado Milkshare and the Mango Sticky Rice is always out of stock.
And my god, the total bill was S$64.03. The next time when we go out, I will definitely not going to order so much! Yesterday we went to Sushi Tei and it was S$50+ because he said what I liked I can order and I ended up ordering so much, just like now haha.

Then we went up to the rooftop of Esplanade to see the beautiful night view of Marina Bay Sands as well as the buildings across.

The Crowd at the Esplanade

The Buildings in CBD Singapore

Every time when I walked pass here, I will always think about my happy moments with Fayssal. I really wondered what he was doing at that moment. Four hours of difference...

River Safari Singapore

Finally awaited till Friday! Our team headed off to River Safari after our lunch buffet!
So we went to River Safari with SAVH yesterday for the Z-Mazing Race! SAVH(Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped) is an organisation for the people with disability. The social committee of my group partners with them for many fun activities :D
Our task there was to help the SAVH members and also exploring the safari using own five senses with them.
My team of five, managed two of the members from SAVH.

River Safari is the only river-themed zoo in Singapore. Main attractions are the Giant Pandas; Jia Jia and Kai Kai, the Red Panda Bear, Manatee just to name a few.
It was opened in early this year, situation in between the Singapore Zoo and the Night Safari.

I don't know how to call this, but it's really cool where we viewed people from the top and they could view us back from the bottom. We down there eventually when we were back. This is where we could see the Giant River Otters as well!

We headed to Mississippi for our first stop. Need to find the stations for the race!

snapping turtle
Guess what turtles are they?! The one on the left is the Alligator Snapping turtle and the one next to it is a Common Snapping Turtle! Always wanted to get all these sort of turtles! I used to have a Soft Shell Turtle but she died! :( And some pig nosed turtles but were given away. :( Don't know where they are now...

piranha fish
Piranha! They were starring at us and not moving! 
Inside the Amazon Flooded Forest! Super huge aquarium! I love the aircon inside. The view, and the scenery as well. Reminds me of The Titanic at Marina Bay Sands last year where I went with Geir. Super romantic. I kept thinking of art, what I would like to paint for a new painting.
Then suddenly, I thought of H again... H knows I love animals, still remember he wanted to bring me to Sun City and see animals as well...



baby manatee
Baby manatee?!

So we were out after that. Headed to KFC and they even have this mural! Was a bit lonely for me as we were the second team to finish this race and I don't know anyone else there, so no one to talk to and I waited for Fitria, luckily I found her and Veronica as well!
