Dear readers! Its has been nearly 2 weeks. Hope everyone is In their best Health. Well I going to split the post into 2 parts. 1st part: What I have been up to and 2nd part: My Indonesia trip. Here we go....
Anyway 3 days before our flight to Bandung I have decided to get myself a brand new laptop. Well you know the old one has kind of served its purpose for full 3 year. I can't imagine, 3 years passed really quickly. I remembered that time brother and I bought it at IT fair in March and now it is March 2013. I bought Acer Aspire V5 Touch 15,6 inch. It was an early birthday present I guess but it is split into 5 since I got 5 siblings including myself. Its quite a steal and definitely worth the price. One good thing is the screen is huge 15.6 inch. First time I'm using a large screen laptop and furthermore it has a TOUCH function, like a tablet I can say. All ready and packed. Watching Running man is such a nice experience. MacBook Air with retina display would be better but then it is out of my budget.
One day before flying off, I met with Kevin and Weesin at Airport for a short catch up and to pass Weesin his Kang Gary Newera Cap that I bought in Jamsil,Seoul. It was a short catch up but definitely we need more time like this. Weesin told me he like the coffee here because of the casher. When I look ohh no wonder!, she's quite pretty. The funny part was when we wanted to order drinks, first I choose Javachips Mocca then weesin and Kevin choose the same so i choose Green Tea Latte, the girl laugh looking at our childish behaviour. Seriously guys we are near 20! Nothing much happened just that we disturbed weesin in asking the cashier for a talk haha, we all shy so nothing happens.
Oh yes Before I forgot the week before I fly off my sisters and I went to Universal Studios Singapore(USS) on a Sunday. Pictures will be upload later of the post. So it was our first time visiting there since it opened few years ago. What a thing. But definitely nice. So many Indonesians, Japanese, Chinese visitors. The ride was awesome. Actually I wasn't a big fan of roller coaster and scary rides but today I beat that! I took few of the rides but not full, 1/2 a day wasn't enough. We spent time on food, Goldilocks etc. The meal and price was a ripped off you know those place where tourist visit always a ripped off to us local. First ride we took was Madagascar banana boat. Its those rides where they bring into dark place and characters will start shooting you with water. Haha it was definitely fun. Then we went into the magical castle of Shrek. A 4D cinematic experience. Not much of the special effects but definitely will thrill first timers. We proceed to Canopy flyer, a high speed roller coaster. At first I was scared then I saw this grandpa, then I told myself if he can do it, I can do it too, better? Then it was the moment of truth... the last check and we are ready to go... Up those scary slow track and a sudden pause, the followed by a acceleration and spinning. Woah once I reached back my hair was like just past a typhoon and my face like I strike gold haha, it was that awesome. Next we queued for Pyramid, we didn't go for Jurrasic Park because it is a wet ride. We gave up on Pyramid as they have some technical difficulties. I was passionate for another round of roller coaster so we went for a ride at Transformer. Everyone when visit USS always say Transformer is definitely a ride you cannot miss. So being a typical Local, the queue was indeed long but it was moving so it was okay. Upon reaching we are given a special 3D glasses to enjoy the ride. The ride is really cool. Its like a vehicle but the show and effects and a bit of movement make it really realistic. It was definitely a recommended ride for those who want to visit USS. Then we went over to Steven Spielberg studio. To our surprised we really got so wet. So the MC was saying that 2nd and 3rd row has a surprise and row 1 which we were a bigger surprised. The biggest surprise is that the boat drop into the pool of water and bam! all of us got wet, damn those sneaky surprises by MC never believe them! Then we head over to Sesame Street where brother just finishes the projects there. He said that it is a thrill rides but for kids? the theme is Elmo preventing the world from spaghetti meatballs attack. It was so fun and hilarious. didn't get to enjoy the other rides but will come back for more. So we ended the day with Musical Show at 840pm and meet mummy back home. It was okay. I actually felt like a tourist in my own country. Definitely fun and enjoyable.
I guess this time the holiday is really enjoyable, 2 trips in 1 month. Okay next, let me talk to you about what I've been really up to. Well you know the new galaxy S4 that is recently released? I think the S4 not so much difference than the galaxy s3 and Note 2. It has a 5 inch screen with 13MP camera and 5 mp front camera. One good thing I like about the new features is the S Translator. its really cool! Every tourist definitely need that. Now I feel like getting my hands on galaxy S4. I just need to wait for few weeks to months for it to launch at our shore. Not really excited but well since Samsung is releasing a new product, as a fan I will support. Okay moment of truth! my results are out. Guess what? I passed everything yeah everything. I though I going to fail ASP.Net but then I passed. Cheryl whatsapp me straight when I was in Bandung, Indonesia. She asked me to check if I pass my ASP.Net at that moment I really don't care. Being on a holiday mood I just open and check it, I passed! Wohoooo. You know we actually said that if we fail this lets do it together and go to the same class! But both pass. Sigh of relief. The CGPA and GPA both increase luckily. It was a difficult semester but really worth the trip for a distress session. You know I just love writing long post and I going to continue still. Okay now is the real deal. at Bandung we travelled 17 people and 7 people got diarrhoea, I'm the king cause I was the first to hit. As for my father I really pitied him, he got infected by me and was even hospitalised. Now he is on his 9th day at SGH, last week he had a major operation to remove his blood clot. Little did we know that cabin pressure make it worse, if not I would have extended my stay in Indonesia for another week or two. Since his major operation, I was full time at hospital with mum.
We arrived early around 10am and go back at 10pm. ICU you can come anytime 24hrs because it is Intensive Care Unit. His diarrhoea trigger the stroke and he need to go major operation. For once I thought if I didn't get diarrhoea nothing like this would have happen and I just wish all the best. I was really scared if he don't make it. But I know, he is very determined to get back on his two feet as the breadwinner of the family. Good news is that today doctor said that tomorrow he will be transferred to a normal ward. That means he is going to go home soon! Yay! I'm so happy and yet sad. Firstly this holiday I can't work because I need to take care of him till my holidays are over. One thing I wish for that the business really start kicking in very soon. Okay since its 26th March, you know I am 4 days away from my 20th. As a start in welcoming to my 20s I have prepared something for myself. I not sure what I will be doing on my birthday though, cause I will be at the hospital looking after my father. Well all the best for me!. The next post is going to be my Indonesia Trip. Please look forward to it. Thank you!
