I got it back

Remember the time I was grinched? Well, the reason for that was during our pre-Christmas dinner, instead of the usual Exchange Gifts we decide to give it a twist and did Grab-a-Gift instead. It was a bit hard to explain but I'll try to anyway. 

Everyone has to bring a unisex gift. Then we'll draw on who goes first, second and eventually last. The one who goes first will pick his gift from the loot and open it in front everyone. The second one will do the same, however, before he picks a gift from the loot, he has a choice if he wants to grab the gift chosen by number 1. If he decides to grab number 1's gift, number 1 will have to then pick a gift from the loot to replace the one that was grabbed from him. It continues that way, so suffice to say, the last one to pick a gift is the luckiest as he is the one who can grab anybody's gift. Being a naughty and playful bunch that we are, a friend of mine decides to grab my gift (which I already really liked) to simply annoy me! It was all good fun. But since he only did it to annoy me, he returned it to me as late birthday present.

I still need to learn how to use it though... ;)

Oh and I also got another late birthday present! A black corsage bracelet which is so elegant that will go pretty well with a black dress. Now all that's missing is a guy and I'm all set for a date. Hmmm, I wonder if I get that as a present too...

Looking Down

Human vs Cylon is up and running!

I already forgot how many times I've been to Universal Studios Singapore but the my last 2 trips there was so much fun! 2 weeks ago I went there with my friends who visited from Manila. Lucky us because there were so few people and there wasn't any sign of rain clouds in sight. 

We did the rides and the shows and while resting we saw this:

Battlestar Gallactica is already up and running. We didn't expect it to be open until after a week (as announced). When we checked it out, it says "Technical Rehearsal" but is already open for public. The "Technical Rehearsal" bit didn't stop us from riding it 4 times (twice on human and twice on cylon)!

The picture was actually taken on the tracks itself (explaining the looks on everybody's face) while we are twisting and turning. We actually find the Cylon much better and more fun, probably because it'll turn you upside down at least 4 times in 75 seconds. But the placement of the camera in Cylon isn't as good as the one in Human so we didn't buy that picture. We were so lucky to have tried it and I also can't wait to do it again, as scheduled on the invite with another set of friends!

So after a week, I am in USS again! I don't mind though as I'm so excited to ride it over and over again. Since it is a preview for those invited, the streets of USS was literally empty.

That night, in total, we rode both 6 times! And we still can't get enough that we are going there again next week! Yipee! I'm excited to see the look on everybody else's face this time as I'm pretty sure there'll be lots of screaming and cursing!

See you next week USS!

One Wish Tonight

I wish I am pretty with sweet porcelain cheeks
Have a soft gentle voice that'll say goodnight when you sleep
Soft hands to hold yours in the cold rainy days
And eyes that'll warm your heart in so many ways
Things I wish I am and those I wish I'm not
Will haunt me tonight for it's all that I've got
So in this evening's slumber, dreams kindly be fair
And grant me one wish - just please be there
