Life's like a dream. Sometimes it can be a sweet dream, sometimes it turned out to be nightmare.

Life isn't like a dream, for you can't choose what kinda dreams you want tonight. For life, you can choose what you want and enjoy it.

Anyway, enjoyed my weekends with great friends.. Went MS with Drifters on Saturday. Found out that Cafe Cartel had started charging a 10% service charge. They started serving bread to customers so that customers do not have to cut their own bread. But the thing is, in order to get the 10%, they purposely changed what we customers used to do during our dining there. I preferred the service before the service charge took in place. Now it seems that the waiters and the whole crew are so money-driven, they are no longer helpful becos of helpful but helpful becos of the kaching we had in our pockets.

Well, since we had to pay for the deliberated-implementation, we asked for bread. It was free, it is still free. We ordered few rounds of bread, and if one loaf of bread is about 30cm, i think we had ordered at least half a dozen. That was once in a lifetime i had ate so much bread in one day. I didn't like bread lots, but dunno what had triggered my craving for bread. Just plain bread, without the butter.

Many peeps have ate the nicely marinated chicken wings and yes, they are pretty much popular. But the one we had was dripping blood. SUPPOSEDLY COOKED CHICKEN WINGS WERE DRIPPING BLOOD! What's with their quality? In order to get quantity they have it undercooked? We got the waitress to get us a new plate with totally cooked ones.. Maybe next time we can ordered raw ones and bring to chalet. I believe with my skills in bbq, my chicken wings sure will be cooked.

But despite of that, i enjoyed my time with Drifters.

Sunday early afternoon was spent in Haw Par Villa with Peishi. Yup, you heard me right. It's the "Welcome to Haw Par Villa, nobody goes there anymore" place. It's free admission and it's been more than 10 years since i've been there, i tried to convince my friend to go with me. So Peishi agreed and tada, we explored the place.

It's good to know about the Hades of Hell. Entrance there's the niu tou and ma mian outside the previous Dragon body (Now it's only a cave). There's 10 stages of Hell. It's been categorized to how terrible your sins were. The new comers will be brought to the Reflection Mirror to see their past deeds. Then transfer to different stages of torturing. There are many types, but i jumble them up.

Some punishments to mention (in random order):
- thrown into boiling oil
- got intestines dug out
- thrown into knives hill
- crashed by boulders
- body cut into two using zig zag saw
- body parts cut into portions
- thrown into volcano

I think there are many others but i dun really remember.

At the end of the punishment they will be brought to one king and he will determine the next life. Then go to the Meng Puo Pavillion and drink tea to forget the past. Then via one of the 6 lanes (wheel of life or something like that) ppl will be reincarnated. I was wondering those chopped off one still can stick back in one piece to hear the verdict meh? Hmm, will only know when we experience it bah. But in this current life, if we do more good deeds, then will not undergo such tortures..

Well, spent around 1 half hour there. Since it was still early (around 12.30pm nia) we went to Sentosa. Wanted to try out the 4D Magix. Bought the tix, pretty ex. While waiting for admission time we went for ice cream.. Mocha Almond was terrific.. only a bit ex..

4D Magix is a great experience. Apart from 3D effects, there's even the other D (but i dunno what is the longer term for the last D) Anyway, the show was about Pirates. Got to experience things like strong wind brushed against the face when the pirate ship was sailing. The chair had a little jotted when there was a big movement in the show. Sprinkles of water were glittered on our faces when the pirate fell into the water. Then when there's many crabs crawling, we experienced sparks of pain (created by short sharp shots of wind), felt as if crabs were crawling and biting into our legs.. Fun lah.. but not worth watching it again. Watch it once experience it can le.

Went Lost Civilisation and Ruined City. Loved exploring the un-explored. Went to the Orchird garden and see the flowers. There's a pond with lotsa fishes. That was the first time i saw a fish food dispenser. Bought one tube to feed. It's fun looking at the fishes fighting for food.

Came back to mainland and had dinner at Yoshinoya.. I used to not eating it lots cos i dun like eating it. But this time around the food was pretty alright... End off the day quite early and went home to catch 大长今。 Mum borrowed DVD from her friend and me, my sis and mum watched till around 2am. As if no need to work loh... Woke up at 6am and go to work.

Monday morning was terrible from serious migraine. Despite of that, we c0ntinued monday night watching 大长今 till around 1am. Great. For past 2 days, my total number of sleeping hours were less than 10.

Tonight? Think bia again.. Only at episode 20 i guess. Total episodes is 76... Hate long drama. So draggy.. But Love to hate it... haha...
