One Day at The East Coast Park Singapore

2011-06-05T20:27:00.000-07:00

Let me show you around Singapore.

Today's featured place is one of my fave hangouts in Singapore.

The East Coast Park.

Sorry for the low quality of the vid as I'm only using my iPhone 3gs.

I've listed few alternatives on how to go there: If you know where way around which isn't included here, please feel free to comment. Thank you and enjoy East Coast Park Singapore!

If it's a weekend, I'll advise you to take 158 from Serangoon Interchange to Fort Road, then change to 401. It's the only service going straight to East Coast Park.

Otherwise, take 135 from Serangoon Ave 2, alight at Amber Road, then cross over the road and walk to Chinese Swimming club, cross the underpass and there you are. This is the shortest distance you need to walk if you take any other bus.

From Serangoon Interchange: take 43 or 853C (available only on Sunday & PHs) @ Serangoon Central, outside Blk 206. Alight @ any bus stop along Marine Parade Road and walk from there. (The best bus stop will be @ Marine Parade Road, outside St Patrick Secondary School. Walk towards Ngee Ann Primary School behind CHIJ Katong Convent after crossing the road. Walk to the carpark behind it and cross the overhead bridge to reach the Meeting Point. (43: 26 bus stops, S$1.40. 853C: 32 bus stops, S$1.50).

From MRT Station: For Weekdays - EW7 Eunos. Exit from Exit A. Walk to Sims Avenue & take 13 to Marine Cresent, outside Blk 45 (6 bus stops, S$0.90) Walk towards Marine Terrace upwards. Walk into Carpark and walk on it till reach Blk 18. There is an underground pass nearby between blk 18 & 20. Use the underground pass and you reach east coast park at another side of the underground pass.
For Weekends & PHs - EW5 Bedok. Exit from Exit B and walk towards the bus Interchange (just beside the food centre). Take 401 to East Coast Park Service Road and ask the driver where to alight to your destination. (401 is a special service that gets you directly to east coast park).
The fares indicated are for cash fares, fares for ez-link card are slightly cheaper.

22 Puppies For Adoption in AVA Singapore

2011-05-12T03:48:00.000-07:00

Saw this in my Facebook wall's friend. If you're in Singapore and a dog lover, are you going to let this opportunity pass you by?

Help!! Puppies for Adoption

Please help to pass the email below around to your friends and anyone interested. These puppies need a home. Damn those smugglers. And AVA is not making things easier by slapping a 6 mth quarantine and an exorbitant fee. The most urgent case is the Golden Retriever. She will be out of quarantine in June. I do not want to think of what AVA would do if no one adopts her. I have someone who is willing to sponsor the $3200 fee for the Goldie if the person can give the doggie a home. (She already has many dogs and cannot take another one.) ___________________ From:Noorain_JUBLI@ava.gov.sg Dear Sir/Mdm, Thank you for your interest in adopting the puppies that were smuggled into Singapore. We have 22 puppies that are currently looking for homes. Details of the puppies are as follows :

1. Golden Retriever Female Date of quarantine release: 22 June 2011 Approx age at time of release: 10 months Pug (tan) (1 female, 1 male) Date of quarantine release:29 July 2011 Approx age at time of release: 7 months Shih Tzu (white & brown) (2 female, 1 male) Date of quarantine release: 29 July 2011 Approx age at time of release: 7 months Poodle (red) (3 female, 2 male) 29 July 2011 7 months British Bulldog (white & brown) (2 female, 2 male) 29 July 2011 7 months Poodle (red) (2 female, 1 male) 10 September 2011 7 months Japanese Spitz (3 female, 1 male) 10 September 2011 7 months

2 . The puppies have to undergo a 6 month quarantine to ensure that they are free from rabies. In addition, the puppies will be sterilised, microchipped and licensed before they are released from quarantine. The new owners for the puppies will be required to pay the quarantine fees which will include the costs of all vaccinations (such as puppy vaccinations and rabies vaccinations), rabies antibody titre testing, de-worming, external parasite treatment, feed and care for the 6 month quarantine period, sterilisation, microchipping and licensing. The total estimated quarantine fees is approximately $3,200 and will be billed progressively to the successful adopters during the quarantine period.

3. Members of the public who are interested in adopting the puppies are required to go through interview at AVA, during which they will be able to interact with the puppies. If you are interested in adopting any of the puppies, please send an email to

Sheikh Adra Bux, (Manager, Sembawang Animal Quarantine Station) at sheikh_adra_bux_abdul_latif_bux@ava.gov.sg ;

or ii. Dr Prabhpreet Kaur (Ag Assistant Director/Animal Quarantine Section ) at Prabhpreet_kaur@ava.gov.sg

4. Please indicate the breed and sex of puppy you would like to adopt in your email and send it to Mr Bux or Dr Kaur at the above email addresses by 23 May 2011. If you are interested in more than one breed, please rank them in order of preference. We will follow up with you on the interview appointment as soon as possible.

5. We look forward to hearing from you.

Battlestar Galactica reopens

2011-02-21T01:22:00.000-08:00

SINGAPORE: The world's tallest duelling roller-coaster the Battlestar Galactica re-opened on Monday after eleven months of being grounded.

The ride, which is the star attraction of Universal Studios Singapore, was forced to shut down just a week into the opening of the theme park.

Routine tests had detected a fault in one of the seat support structure of the ride, leaving one seat detached from its frame.

The fault was attributed to fatigue cracks detected in a welded component of the seat's support structure, the part which attaches the coaster's seat to its frame.

All welded components for the seats have since been replaced with a new machined part.

Universal Studios Singapore said it took nine months to fully complete testing the ride.

This involved thousands of simulated ride cycles using water dummies and coming up with a revised engineering model using computer simulation and actual onsite conditions.

From the model, engineers came up with a revised design for the ride which was then field tested.

A unit was also sent to Germany and put through an accelerated simulation where engineers simulated the entire lifespan of the equipment.

This is to ensure the revised model met the longevity requirement of the ride.

Chingay 2010 Floats

2010-02-10T18:15:00.000-08:00

There are innumerable religious festivals of purely regional interest in Malaysia. But in 1880, one celebration in Penang to "welcome the Spring" during the New Year season, went round George Town . This procession captured the fascination of a European missionary and was vividly recorded. Penang became famous at the turn of the century with this "Giant Flags Procession".

Airbus A330-200F - Singapore Airshow 2010

2010-02-04T16:56:00.000-08:00

The first A330-200F in the flight test campaign - MSN1004 - which took to the skies in November 2009 powered by Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engines, has been successfully evaluating handling qualities, performance, as well as undertaking tests regarding the autopilot and autoland systems. MSN1004 has been on cold-weather testing in Canada and will also carry out hot-weather trials in the Far-East.

The new freighter is the latest addition to the A330 Family and will enter service later this year. The A330-200F can carry more than 69 tonnes of cargo on non-stop flights of 3,200 nautical miles. The aircraft features a versatile main-deck cargo loading system, which can accommodate both pallets and containers, enabling operators to serve the freight lift needs of varying markets.

Hardrock Hotel @ResortWorld Sentosa

2010-01-16T00:53:00.001-08:00

While everyone is excited for the opening of Resort World this Monday,
I spent our Friday night at the new Hardrock Hotel @Resort World Sentosa.

I am so blessed to have the opportunity in staying overnight at one of the most expensive hotel rooms I know here in Singapore!

The best part is.

This morning as I was waiting for my friends, I got bored and had decided to explore the room. Fix the bed, turn on the ipod and then opened the drawers.

To my surprise I saw this.

Yes! The Bible!!!
God is good He keeps reminding me of His presence everywhere. I soooo love it!

Thank you Abba.

Of course, I opened it
and a chance to read few chapters of Job.

Cool ha?

It is an awesome Saturday today.

Will post more of the Resort world adventure on my next thread.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Heyy, have I mentioned that
These are all for FREE?

Battlestar Galactica Test Ride (Universal Studios Singapore)

2010-01-05T20:13:00.000-08:00

Test rides have started on the Battlestar Galactica ride at Universal Studios Singapore. Water dummies are being put in the cars to test the weight load. The ride being tested here is the Human Coaster, the seated one, on red tracks.

Battlestar Galactica in Universal Studios Singapore

2010-01-05T19:57:00.000-08:00

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” – Arthur C. Clarke
It was said that good things come in small packages. And some say that they come in pairs. That’s definitely true for USS Sci-Fi City. Arguably one of the smaller zones in USS, Sci-Fi City currently boasts of two attractions – the Battlestar Galactica (BSG) and the Accelerator – due to be opened early 2010 (with another one planned to debut the year after). Not only that, the BSG are duelling coasters and currently the tallest pair in the world.

As a brand new attraction based around the TV series of the same name, the BSG dueling coasters claims many titles. It is the world’s tallest pair of dueling coasters. With both a red conventional coaster signifying the Humans and a blue suspended coaster signifying the Cylons, they will be a pair of the most thrilling rides in USS. With all the twists and turns of the tracks, my legs get all jelly-like just by looking at it. Well it will definitely be in my USS to-do list, that’s for sure! And please, you do not want to puke into the lagoon.

Equarius Water Park (Universal Studios Singapore)

2010-01-05T19:46:00.000-08:00

Equarius Water Park is a development within Resorts World Sentosa close to Universal Studios Singapore. I love the idea of waterslides meandering through untouched trees in a real jungle.

The highlight at Equarius Water Park, the water theme park at Resorts World at Sentosa, is the "Water coaster" - a thrilling water slide that takes thrill-seekers on a wet and wild ride through tree tops and jungle greenery; "Snakes and Ladders" where water cannons defy gravity and a surf pool that offers a variety of wave types for novice and serious surfers. Visitors who prefer to stay dry can explore a tree-top adventure course of walkways, rope bridges and jungle pavilions beneath the verdant forest.

The Marine Life Park is set to be the world's largest oceanarium, with 700,000 fishes in 20 million gallons of water. Resorts World at Sentosa has made research and education cornerstones of this attraction, which aims to inspire, educate and enrich the understanding and protection of the oceans.

Beyonce is coming at Singapore's F1

2009-09-23T03:30:00.000-07:00

SINGAPORE : Some of the world's hottest music acts will go full throttle to entertain Formula One's glamour set this weekend as Singapore works to build on the success of its inaugural Grand Prix.

Last year's race was a sell-out but in tough economic times ticket sales this year have been slower.

To boost the off-track experience and pull in punters, organisers have spent big on a star-laden party.

Superstar Beyonce headlines the three-day F1 Rocks Singapore festival at Fort Canning Park, also featuring No Doubt, Black Eyed Peas, Travis, Simple Minds, ZZ Top, and Chaka Khan.

Hollywood starlet and paparazzi magnet Lindsay Lohan will host the event, local reports said.

She stepped in after Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger pulled out after reportedly splitting with her driver boyfriend Lewis Hamilton.

Inside the Marina Bay street circuit, the Backstreet Boys and a host of top deejays, led by John Digweed, will keep the music pumping long after the Formula One cars have driven back to the pits.

The drivers have their own exclusive party at the Official Formula 1 Lounge, hosted by European socialite and TV presenter Tamara Ecclestone, F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone's daughter.

Tickets are being sold at a hefty 500 Singapore dollars (354 US) per person, or 12,000 dollars for a VIP table.

"It's about time Singapore had a taste of real Grand Prix glamour and The Official Formula 1 Lounge will enhance the overall appeal of our night race," said Michel Lu, director of the Stereolab dance club that is hosting the event.

Singapore is heavily reliant on tourism and events like the Grand Prix are part of its strategy to boost revenues.

Last year, overseas tourists in town for the race chalked up a total of 168 million Singapore dollars (119 million US) in receipts, according to the Straits Times.

Ezlink Card in Singapore

2009-09-20T20:04:00.000-07:00

This is the Ezlink card in Singapore. This is used as a topup card when travelling on bus or mrts. Loaded with extra $$ on it you can use it as payments on Singapore government's immigration center, Ministry of Manpower, and even on McDonalds and others.

Cool ha?

So my advice, DON'T EVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT
or it would be soooo troublesome on your part. Trust me.

What's more, I just found out it's more expensive to pay cash on mrts/ buses than using this card.

I will say it again, it's the EZLink card!

No Smoking In Singapore

2009-09-20T19:54:00.001-07:00

Beware!
Singapore is into healthy and fresh living and is consistent in their "No Smoking" campaign.
If you're a smoker in here you must find out which area allows you to puff out that smoke LEGALLY.
If caught, be ready to shell out that extra few $$$ as a lesson. :)

What I love in travelling here Singapore is the Toilets.
Yep. as in cr or comfort rooms.
In here you are pampered with unlimited free tissues and handsoaps.
May it be on mrt stations and of course malls.
But
on hawkers and foodcourts, you need to prepare your extra 30 or 60cents because
they don't just give it away like that. I wonder why.

Shop, eat and be entertained by the riverside! Featuring five blocks of restored warehouses, Clarke Quay offers a quirky alternative to mainstream attractions, with second-hand and antique shops and restaurants with an amazing array of F&B options. In the evenings, dance clubs and pubs come alive with music from the 1960s to the present.

Named after Sir Andrew Clarke, Singapore's second governor, Clarke Quay had been the commercial centre, where an unending stream of lighters would transport their goods upriver to the warehouses. Near the entrance to Clarke Quay on River Valley Road is Whampoa's Ice House which belonged to Hoo Ah Kay, an early immigrant from Whampoa, China who imported ice from Boston in the mid-1800s before ice-making facilities were available in Singapore. Note how the Chinese and European merchants brought their own architectural styles to the area.

Or get your dose of adrenaline rush with the G-Max Reverse Bungy! Designed and developed in New Zealand eight years ago, the G-Max is Singapore’s first extreme ride. It involves up to three people being seated in a specially designed open air steel reinforced capsule, attached by US-approved bungy cords to two towers. The cords are tightened and then released, catapulting the capsule up to 60m in the air at speeds of 200kph. The ride lasts for about 5 minutes.

Orchard Road

2008-04-28T06:14:00.000-07:00

Orchard Road supposedly got its name from the orchards and plantations that existed in the area until the turn of the 20th century. In the 1900s, a mysterious disease swept through the nutmeg plantations, wiping them out within a year. Because of its location in a valley, floods were also common. They were only controlled in 1965 when Stamford Canal - part of which runs below the pedestrian mall fronting Wisma Atria Shopping Centre today - was deepened and widened.

Step into the Chinese Garden and you might just imagine you’re in ancient China! Built in 1975 and designed by Prof Yuen-chen Yu, a well-known architect from Taiwan, the Chinese Garden is modeled along the northern Chinese imperial style of architecture and landscaping.

Apart from buildings, gardens too are a constant motif in the Chinese Garden. Around the Chinese pavilion, plateau and tower are woven plants, rocks, a winding stream and footpaths, to create a harmonious scene.

If there is one word that best captures Singapore, it is “unique”. A dynamic city rich in contrast and colour, you'll find a harmonious blend of culture, cuisine, arts and architecture here. Brimming with unbridled energy, this little dynamo in Southeast Asia embodies the finest of both East and West.

A single day's trail will take you from the past to the future, from exotic ethnic enclave to efficient business centre, from serene gardens to sleek skyscrapers.

Start your day with a hearty breakfast amidst lush vegetation with Singapore's very own orang utans. Then take a step back in time as you enter a traditional Chinese temple, Muslim mosque, Hindu temple and Christian church - all in the same neighbourhood.

Return to the present by strolling down Orchard Road, picking up the latest fashion trends and entertaining local catch phrases along the way.
A simple meal is made memorable when drifting along the Singapore River on a traditional bumboat. Step off the boat and get catapulted 60 metres into the air on a reverse bungy ride!

The Singapore Flyer (Chinese: 新加坡摩天观景轮) is a giant observation wheel in Singapore. The final capsule was installed on 2 October 2007, the observation wheel started rotating on February 11, 2008 and it officially opened to the public on March 1, 2008. Tickets for rides on the first 3 nights were sold out for S$ 8,888 Singapore dollars (US$6,271), "an auspicious number in Chinese culture".[1]

Reaching 42 stories high, the Flyer comprises a 150-metre diameter wheel, built over a three-story terminal building, giving it a total height of 165 metres. This exceeds The Star of Nanchang by 5 metres and the London Eye by 30 metres. Each of the 28 air-conditioned capsules are capable of holding 28 passengers each, and a complete rotation of the wheel takes approximately 30 minutes.

Located on the southeast tip of the Marina Centre reclaimed land, it offers broad views of the city centre and beyond to about 45 kilometres, including the Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan, as well as Johor, Malaysia.
