Hollywood Awards!

i heard from the news saying that Universal Studios will be selling Director's Cut. that black and white thing which directors use to say 'action' & 'cut'. i really like it coz it looks professional. so when fel told me she's there, i requested her to help me find, but she told me there are only printed ones, as in, the Director's Cut is printed on like files, laptop cover etc.

i bu gan xin, so searched high and low for it at the retail shop but really couldn't find. so i bought something else instead.


able to guess who am i giving them to? 2 options... hee.. why 'best director'? coz someone is aspiring to be a future director...

Love without borders.

29 May 10, Thur - 30 May 10, Fri
my relatives arrived at our house on thur afternoon. they are my ah ma's elder brother and his daughter, son, daughter-in-law and 2 grandchildren. hmm, my ah ma's brother should be called 舅公？the others i duno liao, so complicated, just called them uncle, aunties and cousins. ha

we interacted a bit, and i thought they could speak Chinese, but i was wrong, they can only speak Thai and my 舅公's daughter-in-law who can speak English very well as she's a Uni teacher who teaches Eng. then, we brought them to Old Market for dinner.

DAY 1:
Dinner at Old Market, Stroll along Raffles Quay

my thai aunty (the one who's a Eng teacher) interacting with my sg 4th aunty.

what a feast! my dad treated the dinner which cost near $200.

my 4th uncle suggested this seafood stall... the food here is really awesome! and i ate loads of sotong...

my pretty cousin with her mum.

aww... havent met for years, yet still so endearing... my heart melted...

was complaining to my dad for being so lack of 情趣. dont think he ever brought us for a stroll along anywhere. strolling along the riverside is so lovely.

the thai family. my cousins are called prem and plume. how cute are their names! though they reminded me of pim and ploy... hee...

dad and 4th uncle with 舅公

aint the Merlion feeling lonely?

DAY 2:

Sentosa (Universal Studios, Songs of the Sea)

the lady in the middle, is 舅公's daughter. the other guy is his son.

kudos to my fourth uncle, he is the best host among my uncles. he fetched them to and fro the airport and their hotel, took off to bring them around, just to assure our distant relatives doesn't feel distant. of course, he spent generously on them, the Universal Studios tickets alone cost him around $400...

this is really interesting, the set up is inspired from Jurassic Park. the boat ride is really fun though i got myself all soaked while the others escaped with little moist. suay!

the mummy ride best liao... inside, u need to walk through a very long 'maze' before u get to ride. very eerie, very fear-inducing atmosphere where there is a video shown ppl on the ride and sign boards of 'warnings' - high acceleration, sudden and strong twisting, backwards motion etc...' my 2 aunties after walking through the ard 4mins maze, decided to escape from the exit doors. ha.. and i realised a few concepts of Universal Studios very similar to the Australia theme park. this mummy ride is very similar to the scooby-doo ride in Movie World, Australia.

this is so cool! they caught my attention immediately.

the best ride closed for maintainence. i will be waiting...

is this sg?? so ang moh...

this too.

cool antique police car! love it.

Songs of the Sea is a visual feast. watched this before in China. with the use of projecting images and fire works, awesome!

the next day, my thai relatives, after shopping in town, left for thailand. this is definitely a very meaningful gathering for me. but it's quite sad that not all of my sg relatives were involved, let alone knowing the existence of their relatives... well, at least i witnessed a strong affection of a brother to her sister, and vice versa. and this is what i call love without borders.
