A stroll in the Park.....

An afternoon with no plans, therefore I decided to talk a stroll through a park. Similarly rather than categorize this place as a park, I guess this place is more of a mini Nature Reserve.

Let's take a look at some of the photos that I have taken...

The name of this place would be 'Labrador Park'.


Also known as 'Labrador Nature Reserve'.


Time to move on...

Here are photos of the Jetty of 'Labrador Park'.
Too bad they have seal off the pathway to the Jetty, else I would love to
walk to the end off the Jetty and enjoy the sea breeze to the Max.


Even though I can't gain access to the Jetty, taking a stroll down the Beach
isn't such a bad experience after all. You can find sights like...


Trace of the high tide...


people gathering for barbecue...


Kids running around a maze made out of wood...

People sitting or gathering around the colourful Shelters...


Decorative floor tiles with images of sea creatures...


a red beacon...

a remake of the Dragon's Teeth Gate,
which used to be a guide for sailors making their way to the harbour...

A look at the surroundings, Sentosa Island, Reflections at Keppel Bay...

another potential place
to feel the sea
breeze and...

a look at one of the oldest bungalow of Telok Blangah hill...
and the list just goes on and on...


Up-close with one of the oldest Rumour of Singapore...
the underwater tunnel leading from 'Labrador Park' to 'Sentosa Siloso Beach'...
does it really exists? I wonder...

Up close with the remains to the 2nd World War...
Speaking of that, I saw a bunch of adults playing some sort of shooting
games around these remains of the world war and I guess I known why...


Anyone in for some spooky adventure dungeon trail...? (Definitely not me...)


One of the stone stools spotted in that area.

Managed to spot one of the species of the place...
One of my friends favourite... a lizard...

There's a few dining places located around
'Labrador Park' and 'ECO gourmet cafe' is one of them...
Wanted to give it a try but they are only left with bar counter seats...

By the way, if you know your way around, you can also make your way
to 'Hort Park' and 'Mount Faber', which is not too far away.
(Walking distance between 'Hort Park' and 'Labrador Park' is about 10 minutes or so. :P)

Another Marvel Movie

How should I put it. I love to watch movies that are based on Marvel Comics. X-Men, Wolverine, Fantastic 4, Iron Man ... etc. These are the kind of movies that will remind me of the good old days watching all the Cartoons that are based on Marvel Comics. Although I can't get a car license or a motorcycle license, it can't stop me from admiring people that can ride a motorcycle. I like the idea of riding and immersing your body in the strong wind. (I think that it will be even much more interesting if I can get hold of a motorcycle like the one the Ghost Rider is using, with all the blazes coming out from the motorcycle.) Either ways back to the movie, I think it sort of lack some action scenes + impact. Although you get to see better effects than the previous movie, the storyline is pretty dull and in fact I was expecting it to have much much more action scenes. But as a Marvel fan, I just couldn't resist all the Marvel Comics based Movies.

A not so magical Magician Show

This was my first movie for the year 2012. Reason why I had chosen it was due to the following reasons. Firstly, that would be the fantastic actors(Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Lau Ching-wan, etc) and the beautiful actresses(Zhou Xun, etc) of the movie. On top of the cast of the movie, when I was reading the plot of the movie, it seems like a movie revolving around the war times and the love relationship between the main characters... but why was the movie categorised under the genre of 'Comedy'? That was like a super big Question Mark... With a few humorous scenes and a few touches of visual effects, the overall movie turn out to be relaxing. :D Well, I'm looking forward to all the good movies that will be shown in the cinema in the year of the Dragon (2012).

According to the Lunar Calendar, we have less than 14 days to be prepared for

'Chinese New Year'. Have you bought all the Chinese goodies and decorative ornaments for the year of the Dragon? Let me bring you to a place where you can get all your shopping done and on top of that, you can also immerse into one of the biggest festival in Singapore. Introducing...


Chinatown Chinese New Year Celebrations 2012.

According to the Traditional Chinese Astrology Horoscope,
2012 will be the year of the Water Dragon. Therefore it's time to witness...

Dragon ornaments flying all over the streets of Chinatown.
But wait this isn't everything...

here comes Papa Dragon.
This is probably the biggest Dragon along the streets of Chinatown.

Besides for all the flashy flashy Dragons, here are some other photos that was taken at Chinatown.

If you haven't been to Chinatown
during the Chinese New Year celebrations before,
you probably want to give it a try taking a look
at the goods that the stalls were selling there.
It might turn out to be an pretty interesting
journey after all. XD

Note:
  • Most of the stalls will only be opened in the evening.
  • It can get awfully crowded especially on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
  • Beware of pickpockets.

Demonstration for Cutting Up a Bluefin Tuna from Japan

Have you seen a Demonstration for Cutting Up a Bluefin Tuna from Japan before? I finally get to see it today and it is pretty interesting.



The above would be a Tuna Fish that weight more than 50Kg.

The above are photos and videos taken throughout the show.

Note:
  • A similar demonstration have been scheduled on tomorrow(2nd Jan 2012) and the upcoming Wednesday(4th Jan 2012) at 2pm. The demonstration will be held at the supermarket located at Basement 2 of Isetan Orchard. If you happen to be pretty free either tomorrow or the upcoming Wednesday, you probably might want to spend some time taking a look at how the 'Master' cut a big Tuna fish into pieces.
  • You can also purchase the fresh Tuna pieces too.
