Monday was my ridiculous day out to sentosa with the maid and our Missonary friend from across the road. He's carefree and absolutely gay, and sits on the outside of the bus seat and only gives way if he sees a good looking guy. Ana thinks he's really Bi, but i think she's just giving him the benefit of the doubt, they are after all, fellow countrymen.
Sentosa's beaches are still as terrible as ever. No matter how pretty the outside seems to appear, the water up close still looks like shit. I'll never swim (not that i can even swim) in singapore waters. But well, for strange reasons, romanticists like my Filipino maid seem to like beaches. I really don't understand them and their fascination with love, esp since most of them have been ditched by their husbands to make a living here. WHERES THE LUV DEAR? Stop talking to me about matchmaking cos you ppl have NO PERSUASIVE POWER whatsoever.
Anyway, being the wonderful and generous boss that i am, i sponsored the two of them to tickets for Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon. There was some kind of offer going on where we could get both tickets for $25. I wouldn't have been so kind if i had to pay the usual $22.90 for entry to each attraction. So expensive, considering how CRAPPY both attractions really are. The only thing that amused me at underwater world was taking a tourisy photo with 2 pythons, and hand feeding the stingrays. Also, the really are getting hard-sell with their tourist traps, as the tricked us with a "FREE photo taking service! FREE!". And of course, its just free phototaking, NOT free photo PRINTING. There went another $20++ dollars :P The idiot of a missionary, nearly made me pay for him, but i made him pay for his own copy. :P I paid for his entrance fee after all.
Dolphin Lagoon was just as much as a tourist trap anyway. You couldn't really see the dolphins either cos 1) the damn stage is far far away, 2) the damn stage is wooden and really dark and the dolphins seem to blend into the colour (not for ppl with bad eyesight) and 3) Whats up with that DIRTY water. You can see the head of the dolphin. Nothing else. Okay, at least the dolphins looked cute.
We also watched the parrot show, which made me want to go back home to mine. Hansiiiiii!!! She's so terrified of the construction work going on outside my house.
Sentosa. I actually think the picture looks nicer than the actual beach. :P Plus a pixelated pic from my phone of the dolphin, cos my digi cams battery was exhausted right before the start of the show.....

Judai (Leo), Ana and me. Ana lent me her plastic glasses or shades, or whatever they were, so i wore them for fun. I look like a real nerd/otaku with them, so i'll never want to wear glasses ever again.

Tourist trap. it costs $25 for 2 bloody copies of something that i could have done at home. But alright, it was fun getting it done.
After Sentosa i cabbed down to Alexandra Village.

This is Aizen and Gin-chan. :P I really wanted to call them Suzaku and Byakko. But my maid can't pronounce the names for nuts. Judai wanted to call them Sentosa and Merlion. HELL NO!
They're rather young green-cheek conures, and very cute. I was only intending to get one out of the 2 that were left in the shop. But the second one started climbing my leg when i was holding on to the initial bird that i chose, so i ended up bargaining with the shop uncle for a reasonable price for both birds...Judai is really good at bargaining. I even got the cage free. So damn paiseh somehow.
However, his conversation with the taxi driver was even more paiseh for me on the way back.
Judai: Uncle how old are you?
Uncle: already mid 50's
Judai: But you look 38!
Ana: You need glasses already lah!
Judai: uncle you should dye your hair more black, then you'll look 34
Uncle: hahaha
Judai: Uncle do you have any children?
Uncle: got, have 2 grown up already
Judai: Do they have girlfriend, or boyfriend...?
Me:.............(bad feeling)
Uncle: hahaha. Both boys. No girlfriend yet.
Judai: Uncle can you introduce your son to me? the more handsome one.
Ana/Me: (dying)
Judai: Just to make friends........how old is your younger son?
Uncle: ..............................
Me: I'M SO SORRY!!!! T__________T||||||||
*nearing my house*
Judai: Uncle, this is my house, remember to tell your son to come and find me here?
Me: UNCLE, I'M SO SORRY!!!! T__________T|||||||| PAISEH!
Ana (to judai): You crazy lah you!
Uncle: haha.....never mind.
