Fun Day At Universal Studios Singapore

Rachel April 24, 2016 2 Comments

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

Today I am going to take you guys on a fun day at Universal Studios Singapore (USS).

We flew over to Singapore about one month ago for a 5 days and 4 nights trip. We spent one of the days at USS and it was a really fun day for people like us.

We are just a theme park person, who loves theme park like we do?

Raise your hand up high!

It was a full day at USS for us, from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm and it was an amazing experience!
Definitely will be going back there again if I visit Singapore in the future!

THUMBS UP!

Universal Studios Singapore

There was a special Easter event going on when we were there, colourful eggs and bunny ears were all over the place. Yes, it was really cute!

Thinking of going to USS again during Christmas, surely the place would be decorated so beautifully in Christmas theme. Feeling all Christmasy right now even though it is only April. LOL! xD

Okay, let's get back to Easter.

Hello USS!

Oh no, those are not Easter eggs, just me and dinosaur hatching. xD

Here is a list of places that we explored in USS.

My favourite attraction in USS?

No, I don't have any favourite attraction in USS because I love them all!

1. Transformer The Rides: The Ultimate 3D Battle

Our first ride in USS, Transformer The Rides: The Ultimate 3D Battle.

It is a roller coaster kind of ride but with 3D motion pictures. Imagine yourself sitting in one of the

Autobots and you get to see the Transformers battle, so cool.

While queuing up for the ride, you get to experience the feeling of being in the Transformers base and getting ready for a battle mission.

It is so cool that they manged to replicate something so similar to the movie so now, please make a Minion world for me, haha!

2. Ancient Egypt

We then traveled back in time to ancient Egypt.

I can't imagine myself living in that era where everything is so huge and mighty.

By looking at the huge statue, I felt like an ant, so small and tiny.

Don't forget to take a ride on the Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster.

The scary part of the ride is that the roller coaster is in a total darkness of a mummy tomb. Fireballs, beetles and mummy warriors appeared suddenly and they seriously scared the hell out of me.

Scariness of the ride, 4 out of 5 stars.

Or maybe I am just a scaredy-cat. xD

3. The Lost World

We traveled back in time again, to the time where dinosaurs still exist.

Let's take a river raft tour at Jurassic Park but beware, you might get wet.

When someone tries to be funny and pokes the dinosaur's nose.
You should be thankful that the dinosaur is fake else there goes your hand!

4. Far Far Away

Let's take a trip to somewhere not far away from here but still kind of far far away from here. (If that even make sense. xD)

What is your favourite character in Shrek?
I don't really have one but my favourite thing about Far Far Away is that huge white castle situated in the middle of Far Far Away land.

That is what most girls would like, right? The castle for princess. =P

5. Madagascar

We sailed all the way to Madagascar to meet King Julien and as usual, King Julien will always be King Julien.

Bf looks like he is annoyed by King Julien's feet. xD

Look at the tiny Skipper holding a bag of Cheetos, so cute!

6. Hollywood

When TV characters come to life.

And lastly, we ended our day at USS with an awesome fireworks show.

Don't mind my bad photography skill. It was not easy to get a nice shot of the fireworks but I did try my best, haha!

That is it to our fun day at USS.
We had a lot of fun there and guess what? I met my long lost lover at USS and I will talk about it in my next blog post.

Some hint for you guys, it is something yellow and cute.

Stay tune for more.

Love,
Rachel.

When You Have A Sweet Tooth

Rachel April 01, 2016 0 Comments

Hello sweet and lovely human out there, welcome back to my blog.

It has been a long week at work for me and finally, the weekend has arrived!
Time to take a break and blog at home.

Today's blog post will be featuring something sweet.

Image Source

Last few weeks, my bf and I flew over to Singapore for a short holiday before he started working there. Yeah, that is what happening with us right now, the long distance relationship.

It is only an hour flight from KL to Singapore so yeah, it is actually not that bad.
On the plus side, I get the chance to use "I should fly over to Singapore to visit my bf" as an excuse for me to go for a holiday. (*Thumbs up)

We stayed at Fragrance Hotel - Imperial when we were in Singapore, and there is a French Restaurant, Antoinette located just right next to our hotel.

And one morning, we decided to try it out.

Antoinette

First of all, let's take a look at what they have to offer at the cake shelf.

To a cake lover like me, this is so exciting!

I call this the cake porn or the dessert porn. #cakeporn #dessertporn xD

And they are selling macaroon too, SWEET!

We ordered three pieces of cake and a cup of hot chocolate but, I wish we could order more than that because all of the cakes looked so delicious.

The process of choosing only three pieces of cake was one tough process because I wanted to eat all of them!

I will be back for the rest of the cakes so as for now, let's try these three.

Charlotte

Antoinette

Summer

Yummy yummy.

This is how you satisfy a sweet tooth.

I loved all of them but my favourite one would be Charlotte, the red one with a strawberry on top.

One thing that I really like about the cake is the right amount of sweetness in the cake.

Unlike some other cakes that I tried before where they were super sweet and I couldn't even finish it.

Not only their cakes look cute, their restaurant looks cute too.

Currently you can find Antoinette at Penhas Road, Mandarin Gallery and Sofitel So Singapore.

The one that we went to is at Penhas Road and here is the address of the restaurant if you need it.

Antoinette @ Penhas Road

30 Penhas Road,

Singapore 208188.

Overall, I really liked their cakes but who doesn't love cakes anyway? Right?

Definitely will be going back there to try out the other cakes that they have.

Dear bf, I know you are reading this. You are going to take me there next time when I fly over to Singapore! That's how you feed me! xD

Okay, that's it for this post.

Thank you for reading and I shall update you guys soon on another blog post.

Guess where we are heading to next? ;)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Love,

Rachel.

Hello Kitty Run Malaysia 2016

Rachel March 31, 2016 0 Comments

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

If you have read one of my previous blog posts, you would know that I love joining fun run with cute theme.

Earlier this month, both my bf and I had participated in Hello Kitty Run Malaysia.

Whether you are a Hello Kitty fan or not, you just can't resist the cuteness of Hello Kitty.

"I HAVE to join this Kitty run!", that was what I told myself once I found out about this.

It is Hello Kitty, everyone loves Hello Kitty.

Until one day, I found out that Hello Kitty is actually a little girl.

Instant shocked!

HELLO KITTY IS NOT A CAT!

Please don't tell me that Mickey Mouse is actually not a mouse.

Knowing that Mickey Mouse is not a mouse would destroy not only my childhood memory but also the rest of my life.

Okay, let's skip the part where Hello Kitty is not a cat and Mickey Mouse is not a mouse story.

Let's run with me!

This happens when you are trying to be sweaty and cute at the same time, haha! xD

I am not really a Hello Kitty fan but seriously, this had really caught my attention.
So now, can we please have a Mickey Mouse or Disney run already?

Mickey Mouse fan here! (*raising up my hand)

Okay, back to Hello Kitty.

This is the race entry pack that we got and everything has a Hello Kitty print on it, CUTE!

You know what attracted me the most?
That red and white stripes Hello Kitty t-shirt.

Yeah, it looks so colourful and childish for an adult.
In my opinion, girls wearing it should be fine but for guys? I can't imagine that.

Ta-dah! Imagine no more!

Bf looks so weird in that t-shirt and he doesn't seem very happy about it.

Sorry for tarnishing your image but I promise, no more funny t-shirt next time. ;)

It was a 5 KM fun run with three fruity pit stops along the way and water were provided at every pit stop.

The first flag off time was 8:00 am and we had to be at the starting point 15 minutes before the flag off time.

Gather all the human Hello Kitty! xD

Just right before the flag off time, someone came to say hi.

SURPRISE!

Hello Kitty is here and she is wearing the same outfit as us, LOL!

3, 2, 1, GO!

Zone 1: Strawberry Zone

Zone 2: Mango Zone

Zone 3: Durian Zone

And finally, the finishing line!

Oh yeah, we made it!

That satisfying kind of feeling when you see the word "FINISH", so good, so good.

I prefer to exercise or run in the morning because it feels more refreshing than you exercise in the evening.
Gotta start the day right!

Goody bag to collect after you cross the finishing line.
Time to recharge ourselves a little after the 5 KM run with some water and banana.

But I was craving for a McDonald's burger. xD

Going crazy over the Hello Kitty medal and pluhie, cuteness overload!

Here are some of the carnival games for you to participate.

And winners get a Hello Kitty marshmallow.

Yeah, I know. It is just a plain normal white marshmallow wrapped with a Hello Kitty wrapper but it is still Hello Kitty, right?

It still makes a difference. xD

When there is a chance to take picture, you take it!

Even Badtz-Maru was there with us.

Have you heard about the Hello Kitty Gourment Cafe at Sunway Pyramid?

They were there selling Hello Kitty cupcakes and cookies.

Can this be any cuter?

Hello Kitty cupcakes and cookies, how could you ever eat that?
Those are way too cute to be eaten.

Completed my second fun run for 2016, yay!

Looking forward to participating in more fun run like this.

I don't think that I have the stamina to complete a marathon so a fun run is enough for me. xD

That's it for this post and I hope you guys enjoy reading it.

I am a little slow with my blog this month because I have been really busy for the past few weeks.
I will try my best to post as much as possible. ;)

See you guys in my next post!

Love,
Rachel.
