My first post after school starts. I will continue from my Haw par Villa. This part 2 is rather boring because as like what I said, the only thing left interesting in Haw Par Villa is the 10 Courts of Hell.


Memorial of the founders.


Woman cruelly slashed by a man, her husband? I not sure... ^^;
You should look more closely to the woman statue, it's rather scary, her expression...


Erotic women seducing a monk.
Actually, there are a stretch of 'scenes' of famous 'Journey to the West'. This is one of them depicting some demons which transformed to pretty women to seduce 'Tang San Zhan', the monk. It is said that if Tang San Zhan's flesh when eaten, allows them to be immortal.


Beautifully structured pond which allows visitors to pass across.
The still water is full with algae and producing mosquitoes.


A huge nose Guanyin, Goddess of Mercy.


A pagoda which Sirong and me tried to climb.
Lois being annoyed by those mosquitoes, refused to explore any longer. Therefore, Sirong and me continued to have fun despite of those idiotic mosquitoes.


Chinese Mermaids. It's rather bold to have half-naked statues done by the olden days chinese who were known to be more conservative. And I should say it is bolder than those western ones, those western mermaids have their blonde hair covering their bosoms but the chinese ones have their black hair tied back. LOL!
I thought Mermaids are from western fairy tales. Chinese have it too?


Pond with sea creatures and lots of algae.
If you notice it now, this part of Haw Par Villa is about the sea and the creatures.


Snail woman.


Pigs that Sirong very fond of.


Exit of Haw Par Villa.

The Differences of Haw Par Villa.

From the Entrance/Exit, you can see the 10 Courts of Hell from there.
A dragon was added on the outer of 10 Courts of Hell when Haw Par Villa was converted into a Theme Park. It was removed and now the outer of 10 Courts of Hell is in odd shape.
The ticket station is nailed shut.


When the dragon was added on, it looked very magnificent because it was gigantic.


The used-to-be Entrance of 10 Courts of Hell.
You are supposed to walk into the mouth of the dragon, very cool uh?


I believe this photo is even before the dragon is added on... I am not sure...

This is an old news, some even went to my house for Mahjong liao. But the journey to purchase the Mahjong Table is kinda interesting.

My sister volunteered to sponser for the Mahjong Table, so after a research online, I found a factory near my house, at Paya Lebar. They produced Mahjong set and Casino Chips and sells things related to them.

And so my brother, Kaijing and I went in search for it.


An old factory.


The Cargo lift. It looked like those used to film horror films.


The corridor towards Swee Huat Plastic Co.


Products on sales displayed.
I used my lousy handphone to take some of the photos.


PURPLE MAHJONG! DAMN NICE!


DAMN UGLY! Looks like those plates and bowls we used in Hawker Centres. XD


Shelves of books Mahjong Sets.


The place is stacked with cartons.

We took bus back to save money. XD Ya, it's embarassing...

My brother looks like chinese coolie. (Coolie: an unskilled laborer employed cheaply, esp. one brought from Asia.)


He was able to carry up and down the bridge at ease. Just like coolie.

Shiwen and I took Understanding Arts as one of our cds. We are supposed to come out with a picture we are supposed to work on by this week. I am still worried about it. It is very hard to score for this subject even though it is very fun. We are to visit Singapore Museum at some point of this Semster too.

Some of the noob Mosaic pieces we done in class..

We hurrily added on the packet of fries at the last second.
There shouldnt be any overlappings on the actual mosaic arts.


A better done Mosaic piece we done with 2 other classmates.
The middle part of wing is done at last second. XD
That, of course, was not the right way of mosaic-ing. And it was done by yours truly. ^^;

On Labour Day, half-copyri9hts were helping out at Ebenzer's sister Birthday BBQ Party at Pasir Ris Park. Thinking that BBQ should be at night, I never thought of applying Sunblock. And that brings about consequences that I totally hate. GETTING TANNED! I took damn long to turn fair and now, I am dark again.. But I totally enjoyed that day. =)

We are supposed to be at Ebenzer's house at 10am. So I texted Kaijing to make sure there is no wrong on the timing. I thought it was wrong because I was thinking it was an BBQ. LOL! And then, I realised that most of the guests were Primary 5 classmates of Ebenzer's Sister, Unica. And of course, they cant to be out to too late and the party started in early afternoon. I totally forget that most guests are children. XD

So after breakfast/lunch together, we went to the venue to set the party up. Blowing balloons, hiding clue cards around the park.


Preparing balloons...







Decorating Pavilion with balloons.


I am too light! I am flying away. XD

Ebenzer's father came out with the games and planned the party. The oarty was totally well done!

There were alot of children, more than 20 of them. They were grouped to play games. Half-copyri9hts were given each a group to 'look' after them.

We were exhausted running with and after them, playing with them and controlling some of the mischievous ones. You know how children are like when at Primary schools. Who like who, all those. So we started to 'gossip' with them and made fun of them.

And after all the party, half-copyri9hts went to Tampines Starbucks with the fund provided by Ebenzer's Dad.

I realised Starbucks always patronised by weird and attitude people. Once I have posted about an incident that happened at East Point Starbucks if you remember. And without fail, this time, we half-copyri9hts met more weird people at Starbucks.

We went to Tamp Starbucks at about 8pm. It was, of course, full with people as usual and furthermore, it was the public holiday. There was a lady using a laptop (another lady with laptop, irritating people!) occupying a 4-sofa seaters space all by herself and have her son occupying a 2-seaters at another side of Starbucks, doing his homework. This kind of people is totally intolerable! Only she was consuming drinks and her son was not but she occupied up to 6 seaters. I wondered how Starbucks earned money like that, people occupying seats more than 3 hours. She was there before us and after we left. If Starbucks staff are able to chase people out, how many customers can they gain after giving up that customer.

My friends went to 'ask' her whether her son was still sitting the 2-seaters after her son went to her at the 4-seaters. She reluctantly gave up her son's seat when my friends 'asked' whether the rest of her 4-seaters are available.

I think Starbucks shouldnt offer power points to people so that people using laptops will leave when they went out of battery. A full laptop battery can last about 3 hours and that's kinda really long. Ya, providing power points attract customers but also lose alots of potential customers who are there really to have a cup of coffee and then go after finishing it.

Haiz, Whatever!
