Universal Studios Singapore

By | Entertainment, Travel | No Comments

The latest attraction in Sentosa.  We bought our tickets online to be sure we had guaranteed access since we were in Singapore for a limited time only.  They say that they only sell a certain number of tickets in  day. So it is good to buy in advance.  We also invested in FAST PASSES to avoid long lines which was a good decision because the lines were very very long

It was very very hot in Singapore.  They said we we were at the height of summer so it was really really hot.  Good thing I brought my umbrella 🙂  Needed to drink many liquids to rehydrate.  I think when in an amusement park, better to be in COLD weather than HOT!  Personally, Universal Studios Osaka was much more pleasant because of the weather

The first ride which I did not ride 🙂   There are two colors of rails for the coaster – red and blue

So there are two entrances – The red is called HUMAN – apparently this is for those who just want to ride a roller coaster without the loop

Cyclon – the blue one – is for the adventurous ones!

Love seeing these characters on stilts walking around

This ride was right beside the roller coaster – for those who didnt ride the roller coaster…..like me! 🙂

The Mummy which everyone seemed to enjoy…again EXCEPT ME 🙂  Roller coaster in the dark!  I guess it is their version of space mountain where you don’t know where the coaster will take you!

Then the other major ride was Jurassic park where you can get wet. Make sure you have extra clothes or else you will spend $50 for a tshirt from the shops 🙂  Since I was with the older group- we did not get to ride the kiddie rides which I would actually have enjoyed over the coasters 🙂  We ate lunch before 12 noon to avoid the crowds or else you will also be lining up just to get food.  It’s always best to dine during non peak times, then maybe ride when everyone is eating!! We went out by 2pm because it was just too hot.

 And Mom had a great idea as usual!  She made all Moms cook something for our dinner!  Which later on we realized why the Moms had to work on their day!  So for Father’s Day, you know who is going to do the cooking!! 🙂

Mom bought Bryan Flannery prime rib from James 🙂 and she marinated it with her SECRET RECIPE which she does not want to share with anyone! 🙂 But it tasted really good!!! Mom is the BEST COOK!! I wish she could cook for us more oftenmomday7.jpg

I made my pasta which is a knock off of one of Gaita’s pasta 🙂 of course I cannot get it exactlymomday6.jpg

Margs made a complicated dish! WOW! She even went to the market in the morning to buy the seafood! Truly a labor of love!

Why God Made Moms

By | Mother's Day | One Comment

WHY GOD MADE MOMS

Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:

Why did God make mothers?

1.  She’s the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.

2.  Mostly to clean the house.

3.  To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?

1.  He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.

2.  Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.

3.  God made my mom just the same like he made me.  He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of?

1.  God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.

2.  They had to get their start from men’s bones.  Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?

1.  We’re related.

2.  God knew she likes me a lot more than other people’s mom like me.

What kind of a little girl was your mom?

1.  My mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.

2.  I don’t know because I wasn’t there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.

3.  They say she used to be nice.

What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?

1.  His last name.

2.  She had to know his background.  Like is he a crook?  Does he get drunk on beer?

3.  Does he make at least $800 a year?  Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

Why did your mom marry your dad?

1.  My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world.  And my mom eats a lot

2.  She got too old to do anything else with him.

3.  My grandma says that mom didn’t have her thinking cap on.

Who’s the boss at your house?

1.  Mom doesn’t want to be boss, but she has to because dad’s such a goof ball.

2.  Mom.  You can tell by room inspection.  She sees the stuff under the bed.

3.  I guess mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

What’s the difference between moms and dads?

1.  Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.

2.  Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.

3.  Dads are taller and stronger, but moms have all the real power ’cause that’s who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friends.

4.  Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine..

What does your mom do in her spare time?

1.  Mothers don’t do spare time.

2.  To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your mom perfect?

1.  On the inside she’s already perfect.  Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.

2.  Diet.  You know, her hair.  I’d diet, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?

1.  She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean.  I’d get rid of that.

2.  I’d make my mom smarter.  Then she would know it was my sister who did it not me.

3.  I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.
