A load of crap from an idle brainPersonal, Movies, Music, IT, India, Singapore, Politics, Fun

Before leaving Singapore, i thought i would go around and see the last one place I hadn’t yet visited.  So off we went to the Universal Studios during the Chinese New Year weekend.  Contrary to what i feared, it was an overcast sky the whole day and had a cool breeze, so walking around wasn’t a chore.

Seriously, if you are not a fan of roller coasters, the place doesnt really justify the high entrance fees (SG$74 per head) it demands.  Not to mention each of the eating joints are nothing but rip-offs with high prices.  If you can, pack some food from home as the prices of eatables are sure to drive your hunger away.

As for the souvenirs, the lesser said the better.  Prices are again out of this world.  No wonder i hardly saw anyone buying anything.  For kids though, there are enough attractions and stuff to keep them occupied.

Stairway to Heaven

Final word: Avoid this overpriced hyped up place unless you are dragged by the scruff of your neck by friends and family.   The Singapore Zoo, Jurong Bird Park and the Science Park are still the best attractions in the country.

With leaves to clear and my birthday on 19th November, i thought it was a good time to get away from the maddening stress of work and related stuff.  Took off for a 4 day trip with biwiji to Kuala Lumpur & Genting in Malaysia.

Wishing all of you and your loved ones a very Happy & Prosperous Diwali

Thought the mid week holiday doesn’t give much reason to cheer.  Still, look at the bright side of the holiday.

As usual, say no to the noise and smoke generated by the crackers.  Spend some quality time with your family and friends.  Isn’t that what holidays are all about?

Ya, this blog has more or less taken a backseat.  Not that i have lost interest.  Just that there is so much to do and so little time.  Only 2 more months to end the year.  Great things to come in a few months time.  Cant wait for 2012.

Wishing the best of Onam to you and your loved ones.

Happy Easter
