My sister and I were in Singapore in August to finalize her visa for Canada. After she surrendered her visa she had time to chill, so she insisted to go to USS since both of us have never been there. 

I chose to go on a Monday thinking that there would not be a lot of people since it was a working day but still I never expected such a huge crowd. O_O

 Mandatory touristy photo in front of the Universal globe before entering. 

 Everywhere we went, there was either a queue or crowd. 

But look who we found. OSCAR!

He was in an alley and there was no queue but it was so sunny that my sister and I were unable to open our eyes.

While walking around Jurassic Park we saw Diane the Triceratops. 

Where can I get one? 

We came, we saw, we conquered. 

But we will be back!

See you soon!

This year daddy wanted something different for his birthday, rather than typically going to restaurant for just a dinner. 

So he and his pals decided on having a birthday party instead at The Living Room located just beside The Junk. A small affair with just a few close relatives and buddies. Since daddy knew the boss, he allowed us to have to whole place for the night for the shindig.

This year was a bit different because all four of his kids would be home at the same time for his birthday. Me and my brothers seldom be at home at the same time since attending uni because we had different schedules and my big brother works on a rig.

 Isn't the place just gorgeous?

 It even has a pool table

The boss hired a singer for entertainment.

Quite an outdated blog entry I know but I've just gotten to transfer all my photos and videos from my phone to my laptop. For some reason, not all my photos were backed-up on my iCloud so I had to transfer all of them via WiFi.

This is somehow going to be a quite a long entry because I'm combining all the photos for cny.

Unfortunately, my big brother couldn't be back home for cny because of work. :( #marineengineerlife

It being cny, I thought that I could sleep in a little but that was not the case. Dad woke us all up at 8 because the lion dance would arrive at 9.

I didn't take many photos on the first day because there were so many people. 

The earliest to arrive.

Grandma (mother's side) with her grandchildren.

 The ladies.

The men

My brother trying to photobomb me but i think the photo turned out not bad.

 What is cny without some blackjack? Grandma likes being the dealer. lol

 The next door cousins

Skyping with the Harrys in Canada. Most of my aunt and uncles on my father's side were at our house so my brother helped setup Skpye on the tv for them to chat. 

 With grandaunt and her family

 

With the cousins

Ootd for the second day. All my outfits for cny were bought online here. Its always hit or miss when you shop online. Fortunately they all fit. I didn't have the time to go out shopping because of finals.

Auntie Winccy invited us to her house that night. Aren't her dogs so adorable?!! The one on the left is Messi and the one on the right is Poppy.

Got to hang out with my friends on the third day.

 After that we headed to Sophia's house and later my house. I told them I had to be back home at for dinner and that they were welcomed to join.

 Photo session with the girls. We took lots but I'm just gonna post a few.

We had a birthday celebration for grandma at home.

 Grandma's 75th birthday

We headed to granduncle's house at the countryside the next day. The last stop for grandma, uncle and his family before they head back to Singapore that night.

Believe it or not, the house granduncle is staying in was built by himself when he was 30.  Now only him and his wife live there. His kids now live in Singapore.

He's the type of person that doesn't ask for much. He plants his own vegetable and harvest his own rice to eat. His income comes from selling the fruits and veges he has in his orchard around his house.

Granduncle and grandma

He said he wanted to pluck coconut for us to drink.

 Coco for coconuts

I think that was all for the cny visiting because the next day was a Monday and working day.
