I'm a sick cat. Sick for two weeks plus already, from a common cold, it become a secondary bacteria infection that cause me to lost my voice, to have lymph nodes infection, fever and lots of phlegm and mucus and wheezing. And in the end I spent like in total $100 plus to see doctor, the latest one being $60 dollars and I am on 7 types of medication now, with one being a medicine for asthma. Can you imagine it? I never have asthma my whole life and now I have to take this stupid asthma medicine just because my airways are choked.
Anyway the good news was, I went up to Singapore Flyer on it's first day of launch with my dear Zhu Zhu, who was so lovely to give me a surprise. He actually bought the tickets last year in March, which we only were just starting to date each other. It was really sweet of him to plan this for me. So we went up to Singapore Flyer, our first time. It was really interesting to see the tropical rainforest setting in the shopping arcade at Singapore Flyer. Then we also saw this Fish Spa at Kenko Reflexology, which is really interesting cause there are fishes eating off dead skin from your feet. I wonder how it feels like huh?
We went to queue for it finally at 6.30pm. We had to go through this system which is like the airport security checking system, where they will scan your bag and you have to walk through the detector. Then we were brought into this place where we were taken a picture which they then superimposed it to a background of us being in the capsule of Singapore Flyer. After we we walked along this bridges that will allow us to board the capsule. The capsule was still moving as we were trying to board it so I guess children and elderly will have troubles running after it.
So up we went, up up to as tall as 40 storeys. I was a bit scared at first cause I'm afraid of heights and I had to grab on to the rails. Then it became better and we started taking loads of pictures. I saw the city skyline in a bird eye view. Saw the ground that they are building the future casinos on. I saw the floating stage from high up in the sky, and how the roads curved and turned. And if the sky is clear, you could see Sentosa and Indonesia too. There was also a dining table in the capsule which I assume must be for functions and events. The flyer was lighted up in blue neon lights when the sky turned dark and it was really pretty. I saw the city view in daylight and I would like to see it in the night also and when the casinoes are up. That will be so cool!
After that, we went to The Cookie Museum. It was Ken's first time dining there hee. So we had this Polynesian Romance tea made up of apples, strawberries, kiwi and lemon. We also had a Polish Dog Quiche and the LooLoo or Lulu Cherries Cheesecake, which both turned out to be super nice!
A pity though we had to go home early as I was sick cause I'm really feeling not well but overall it was a good date!
So, now it's time to pamper the sweet Zhu Zhu who has given me a lovely surprise and took care of me when I'm sick, although I was frustrated with him on Friday night, much owing to the fact that I couldn't sleep well and I was in bad mood. Sorrie yeah Zhu Zhu, thanks for being so nice to me.
