Singapore blog post!

Yes, everyone who reads this post, this is my first Singapore post.

...So what about it?

Fine, I'll blog about Singapore... Or, in this case, rant about the differences between Singapore and Malaysia.

Singapore and Malaysia are very much alike, yet so different from one another.

Singapore doesn't have as many crazy weirdoes as there are in Malaysia. (Or am I wrong? XD)

Singapore is extremely clean compared to Malaysia.

Singapore has reckless drivers. I mean, I try to cross a road and everytime, I get honked at by a taxi coming from, like, a kilometer away that would've killed me if I had walked just one step further. In Malaysia, if anyone sees someone on a road, the person driving immediately slows down and gives the person time to cross, particularly if the person is a Senior citizen. Ahh, Malaysians have more etiquette and manners. Lol

Singapore has far more clubbing facilities, liquor shops, bars, pubs, fine dining restaurants, etc. because of the halal factor. OK, I can understand why alcohol isn't halal, and pork...can be disgusting at times, but why dogs? DOGS! DOGS!!! How in the world can someone possibly not want to pet such a cute little doggy? I love Ginger and Travis, the cutest dogs in their respective countries.

I walked Travis twice already today. He's so cute, yet so weird. I wonder if all dogs are weird that way...

Singapore is so nice, especially the nice apartment I'm staying in with Kevin & Ashwinni, Aunty Uma, Uncle Gilbert, Travis, Hermi, Ganesh atan(temporary) and my bro(temporary, like me).

Because it's so scenic and peaceful...
And you can just relax on the balcony in the quiet...
With the nice wind blowing and all...

And there's also nice river scenery when I walk Travis. The wind is blowing and there's a beautiful view of the river. There's only ONE thing I regret on this trip...

ZOMG WHY DID I FORGET TO BRING MY CAMERA!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Now I can't take pictures of anything!
What a waste!
Such nice scenery too!

Now on to the various goings-on in Singapore...

Arrived yesterday at night.
There was nothing on yesterday night... Except for a dinner with many different relatives, and a particularly dramatic Asaimama babbling about how Hasheeni machal "ruined her life" and "hasn't completed her education", as my sources tell me. For I don't listen to the talk of the relatives. Lol.

In conjuction with a certain occasion, a certain event will be held by the relatives who are in Singapore to the primary source of this event. What occasion? What kind of event? What source? Hehe... More info in my next post.

Also, tomorrow, I and my family are to watch a play in which my cousin, Kevin, is acting as a main character. Ever heard of Nicholas Nickelby by Charles Dickens? Yeah, well, it's a play. I brought some wonderful batik silk clothes just for that particular occasion. The play will be 5 hours long(yes, FIVE HOURS long) because it is the last show and a combination of both Parts I and II on the same day. There's gonna be a dinner break inbetween, thank goodness. Poor Kevin, I bet he'll be quite happy when this whole play thing is over.

And then, the next day, the DS Lite will be sent for repairs, which will cost S$80 and will take 4-8 weeks. Then, we shall be off and on our way back to KL, our wonderful glorious hometown, the Malaysian metropolis. And within which we shall find Taman Melawati, the location of my house.

I can't wait for the DS Lite to be repaired! But, other than that, I have to buy, or at least check the price of, some DS Lite accessories while I'm still in Singapore...

I have to check the price of Nintendo DS Lite Ice Blue styli, because I want to buy two more. Other than that, I want to buy the Nintendo DS Headset to allow for clearer voice communication and, if I'm in public, people won't be wondering what I'm doing by slyly whispering into my DS Lite, like I'm a weird Fr3@Ky technopath or something like that.

Well, anyway, that concludes my very long SIngapore post.
For some reason, I'm getting back into the habit of making longer posts! But the matter of updating daily... Well, that's a different subject altogether. ;)

Well, that's all for now.
Bye then!

DSL has hope and surprising album news!

First of all, my DS Lite has hope of repair! XD

I sent an e-mail to Maxsoft Pte Ltd, the authorized Nintendo distributor in Southeast Asia, explaining my problem and asking if they can repair it. They sent a reply saying yes, they will be able to, but I have to go give it to them at their office in Singapore. It'll cost S$80, which is, about RM185.19 or so. It'll take up to TWO MONTHS.

I'm going to Singapore on...OMG I'M GOING TOMORROW?!?!?!? AAAAH!
NOO! I DON'T WANT MY DSL TO BE AWAY FROM ME FOR TWO MONTHS!!!!
2 MONTHS!!!

=(.... *sigh*

Well, it's for the best... For a proper hinge!
No more jealousy of every DSL I see!
Well, if necessary, I can always borrow Ro's... Every collective... LOL

Well, I just got an email saying they can't sell me anything. Too bad. And I so wanted to buy one too... But they said they're open Mon-Fri 9am-6pm. I wonder how I'm going to fit THAT into my tight Singapore schedule?
It's too bad I'll be DS Lite-less for the whole length of the holidays. =(
And it'll take 4-8 weeks....

I guess...

I'm so sad and happy...

Oh yeah, I went to the original and official Nintendo stall thingy in Mid Valley. In Sungei Wang, DSLs cost only 550 or less. In this place, they cost 650.
100 RINGGIT DIFFERENCE!

If I'm not mistaken, am I repeating everything I said in my previous blog post? XD

Well, we went to watch Enchanted! It's so funny!
One of the funny parts is when Pip the chipmunk tries to portray what Nathaniel is up to.

And the other one is when the queen becomes a dragon and is climbing the tower, Giselle comes there with a sword, and the queen says: "Hmm, looks like we've got another twist to our story!" Then she looks at Robert and says: "So I guess you're the damsel in distress, huh, handsome?"
I was like AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! lol

Other than that... In the music world...

Jordin Sparks has released her new album, entitled...Jordin Sparks.

It has like 14 tracks, among them most are nice but the 3 known singles are the best.
This Is My Now - We all knew about this one LONG ago.
Tattoo - A nice song. The chorus sounds just a little bit like the chorus of Umbrella.
No Air - A duet with... Chris Brown! A nice, slow song! One of the few types of slow songs than I adore. Though it hasn't officially been released as a single, it's climbing up the charts in America.

Blake Lewis has also released his new album, A.D.D. (Audio Day Dream).

He only has one single as of yet, Break Anotha.
But since I wasn't able to download that album, I have no idea how anything sounds. Even on Ares, I can't seem to find it.

But he is influenced by popular things like Duran Duran(WHO?) and Maroon 5 and MICHAEL JACKSON!!! =D

So I really want to hear his songs. If anyone has his album, please lend me for a while! I have to listen to it!

And also...

BRITNEY SPEARS AND MICHAEL JACKSON ARE RECORDING TOGETHER!!!
OMGOMGOMGOMG AAAAH!!!!

BRITNEY SPEARS AND MICHAEL JACKSON!
Two extremely troubled people in the legal factor and both royalties in the pop world. Hm? The King of Pop and the Princess of Pop? Hmm.. I wonder what that song'll be like?
It may be an exclusive new single for Blackout though. But I think it will (and should) be included in MJ's album.
I will buy MJ's album, the HSM3 soundtrack, and Thriller 25 next year.

Well, anyway, I'm too lazy to post anymore. Thank you to all readers who have stuck with me for so long even though I update, like, once a fortnight. Lol.

Bye then! Wish my DS Lite luck!
