Sentosa

Do take note that these aren't all the pictures, and that I also appear in none save one of them. I made it a point not to appear in too many of the photos lest I end up cracking a camera's lens or screen. Most unfortunate if it had happened. Also another reason for not putting up all the pictures: this is still a relatively family-friendly blog, and some of the remaining pictures are, well, not so family friendly. In fact, they're downright pornographic and utterly shocking, thanks to the antics of some of the pornstars in the photos you see. I maintain my innocence.

Joy oh joy, the bliss of spending a million dollars on a completely useless endeavour to go to the southernmost decently-populated island in Singapore. But for a day like this, I'll make an exception.

Was out with Audrey, Isam, JJ, Syu and Yiming to Sentosa for a little Syu's-birthday-celeb-cum-outing thingamajig today. First off allow me to complain that Sentosa is hopelessly overpriced and overrated. The only things that are worth seeing are the beach babes, I promise. But since I've already paid and I'm perfectly willing to go out with them, I shan't squeal any more.

Standard package is $38 bucks. For that you get a cablecar return ticket, a log ride to nowhere, a trip to the insectarium, a bang-for-your-buck hike to Fort Siloso and a thoroughly enjoyable and thrilling luge down the, well, Luge.

Without elaborating too much on the details, the trip was smashing. Not so much the Butterfly Park, Luge et al, but rather I did get time to spend some quality time with my friends, something which I haven't been doing much. It's quite refreshing to spend some time with them, instead of dying and rotting at home. With them, I can be at least a modicum of my actual self, i.e. the madcap, occasionally insane and offbeat Kai Yi. Of course I love the stuff, the attractions and the rides. Those were good, but Sentosa will always remain what it is: an island for idiotic foreigners to blithely ignore the perils of cunning government trickery and spend the greenbacks of their respective nations. Charming innit.
