Went to, or rather attempted to go to Wild Wild Wet today with Jon Gan as part of our Singapore Revisited Geography assignment. This experience has taught me two lessons: Always check about the info of the place you are going beforehand, and always have a backup plan.
1) Checking out the info
The only piece of info we failed to check up upon - the entrance fee. And ultimately, it was the entrance fee that struck Wild Wild Wet off our list - oh wait we only have Wild Wild Wet on our list. So what happens now? D.I.E. Death of Individual Ego (talking shit =/) The price was an exorbitant $12.90 - and that's for entrance alone. $12.90... I wouldn't even spend $12.90 to gain entrance to Buckingham Palace unless they gave me a free lunch and souvenir, and they expected me to pay $12.90 to gain entrance to a chance of drowning. No thank you siree.
2) Backup plan
After striking Wild Wild Wet off our list, we looked at our list and saw BLANK. So realizing that we had no backup plan, Jon Gan came up with some lame ideas. Then he kept praising CHIJMES to the heavens, and when we got there, let's just say that the number of people there could be counted with fingers and toes. So we went to the nearby Raffles City, and took a couple of pictures. Not a bad turnout - but overall deserves a great big meh. Camwhore position #1*:
Afterwards we decided that Raffles City might not be that suitable, and went to VivoCity. There we took a few pictures again, and of course camwhored again*:
And so ended our journey. I actually wanted to go walk around more, but poor Jon Gan lacked the shopping stamina (which I was trained in due to my family background as ninja shoppers with turbo legs and perfect eyesight) so we went home.
* - We did not camwhore for the fun of it. I personally do not like camwhoring, but for the sake of proving we were there, I was forced against my mortal will and had to undergo the agony and embarrassment of looking like camwhores. Two guy camwhores in fact. Yucks.
On a side note, I'm having a TERRIBLE bout of flu now. It's terrible. My nose is like a fire hose (you know, those kind used by firemen to put out fires like 12 stories high), making it blocked and runny. I keep sneezing every 30 seconds until I feel like my brains are going to come out via a sneeze. It's also making me abit feverish. This is not good. I AM IRONMAN IVAN. I WILL NOT FALL SICK. RAWR! *ah-choo*
Shit.
ivan fed the world.
