Sentosa With Joel

Tjääänaaareeee!
Alright, today (Sunday):
I woke up from Joel's call, we had agreed to head to sentosa today.
I headed back to sleep for a while before i finally got ready and headed to Vivo City in Harbour Front.
At Vivo City i met up with joel and we walked around checking out the massive amounts of botiques .. . if i'm not mistaken it is the biggest shopping mall in singapore. As usual i didn't buy anything though, neither did joel this time.
I hadn't brought my swimming trunks nor Any other "Beachy" necessities, considering how heavily it was raining this morning, i figured there'd be no way we'd head to sentosa, which is like a giant beach.
Oh how wrong i was. . .. the sun was blazing, and we decided to head to sentosa after all.
We took the Sentosa Express, which is new, i don't think my family has seen it yet (They probably haven't seen Vivo City either. . . but then again, there are construction sites ALL over singapore. . . EVERYWHERE, singapore changes so quickly haha), but it's nothing special. Just a mini monorail that takes you from Vivo City over to Sentosa, quick and safe ;)
After the monorail ride we jumped off at the beach station (Where 99% of the original passengers jumped off as well)
The sun was madness. . .. it was so hot, and i was sweating all over. Joel who usually doesn't sweat "Å nu jävlar lökar jag". . . so dje it was damn hot!
We walked around and checked out the beach. . . i REALLY wished i had brought my swimming trunks, because the water looked so inviting under this intense sun.
We walked from one end of the beach to the other, at the other end we found a store. . .. where i bought a pair of Swimming shorts for 29dollars hahaha XD
We then took the tram back to the beginning where we walked into seven eleven and bought two huge bottles of water.
Now we were prepared, to become SAVAGE! as Joel would say ;)
We walked back out onto the beach and chose a suitable spot on the sand.
I pulled off my t-shirt and ran into the water. . .. niiiiice, it was cooling, almost a bit cold! But perfect nonetheless.
So here we were all day, in the water, up on the beach and just hung out.
After a few hours on the beach we headed to the top of Sentosa Island with the help of a sentosa express bus.
At the top we were going to watch a 4D movie. . . but it cost 16 dollars for 15 minutes. . .. i said "Let's go eat first and think about it". . . we never returned :P
We ate Subway sandwiches.
After the Subway we walked over to a "Ride" or well it's probably more suitably called an "attraction".
You jump into tiny carts and zoom down to the beach from the top of Sentosa.
The steering is two handles, like on a bicycle. When you pull it back, you slow down, when you push it forward you increase in speed. . . .
The people before us were 2 women with children. . . we zoomed past them before the first turn hahahaha we just blazed down the whole hill, it was AWESOME, after the ride i said "This was the funniest 30 seconds of my life".
Reminded me of the rollercoaster i did together with Vincent in Genting highlands. . . .. me and Joel were crying with laughter all the way down the curvy hill, haha was a short ride for 9dollars but it was hilarious. . .
We then took the "Ski-lift" up back to the beginning (The lift was included in the price of the "Luge" ride as it was called)
Ski-lifts are actually pretty scary when there isn't any snow under your feet. . ..
After the ski lift we waited for a bus to take us to Tanjong Beach where Johan had told us to come. (Every sunday there's model's night at Sentosa Beach)
We had missed the free drinks which lasted from i don't know when till 7pm. . . . we were on the Luuuuge instead ^^
Anyway, when we got there we heard the music pumping from miles away, and they were having a fire show and it was on the beach and it was just an awesome place. Beach party!
Everyone was very very drunk, in their bikini's and swimming trunks.
I don't pay for alcohol, and Joel didn't wanna drink if i wasn't gonna drink, so despite the hassling from the others we remained sober all night. . . don't worry mom ;) haha
Well it was great fun, and afterwards we took a cab together with the two swedish models.
'I hopped off at Vivo City, and grabbed a bus home.
Now i'm here typing in the blog ;)
That's about it!

Gnight!

Lotsa Love

PS.
Farfar
Choosiwa-ikaga, is that a more informal way of saying ogenki desuka? Kinda like in english how you would say "What's up"?
Must be nice to go grab dinner with the famous lawyer ;)
Hahahahhaha nice combo! Girls and soccer! I guess that would enhance the entertainment of the sport, maybe even for me. . . . god i'd love to see a fight break out between two female soccer players XD
Picasa? Hmm, gotta check out which editting program to download, i've heard a lot about "Photoshop Elements" sounds popular, i'll fill you in when if i fix it for my computer, because with the photo editting program from canon, I mostly just adjust the saturation, Contrast and brightness. . . so it's nothing really advanced haha
Alright, cause i've heard the japanese word "Motto" in a lot of my japanese series, so maybe it doesn't fit in that context? hehe Thanks for the help!
Hälsa o-baa-san!
Lotsa Love!

Dad
Hehe, i always cary around wet ones, so that i can whipe off the damn makeup after shows or shoots. I came to think of your suggestion today when we were taking the bus up to the top of sentosa.
Pulled out the wet ones and felt a lot fresher afterwards haha ;)
Joel was all oiled in with tanning oil hahahaha he wants to get "Savage!!"
I had to put some on my face though, because the sun was too intense and i could feel it burning my skin.
Well hope all is well and hälsa familjen!
Lotsa Love!

Pic6: Haha, me and Joel waiting in the queue for the Luge ride, wearing our super hot helmets XD
I'm gonna buy an external harddrive for all my pictures later ;)

Chooshi doo? Chooshi iidesuka? Alex-san,
Chooshiwa ikaga desuk?=Ogenki desuka? The both phrases are on about same level.
Chooshi ikaga is more informal form. If you put "desuka?" at the end of phrase, it makes the phrase more polite.
Chooshi doo?=Whats up.

Yes,grabbing a wonderfully delicious lunch of Japanese Sushi+Sashimi+many other typical Japanese food mixed with some of chinese cuisine was fantastic, excellent. The whole tasted just like real Japanese cuisine which recalled me of good old time of my youth. I didn't know that such truly Japanese food restaurant exists in Sth until today. If I have a somewhat larger stomach capacity, I would sit alone,eat, eat until waiters throw me out. You can eat such delicious food as much as you can at the same price. To make the atmosphere further pleasant, the waitresses are polite,charming. With or without famous lawyer, it is nice to grab such nice brunch. Of course it is nicer if the famous lawyer is with me and pay the bill. I don't know how much it cost tody.

About picture editing, why not ask the famous lawyer? I am certain he is much more versed in that filed than me, even more than law. I heard he is using Picasa2, used to work with photoshop element. Photoshop proper is the ultimate professional picture editing program.
I like your pictures, you have not only skill in writing but also good sense of photographing. Photographing is a good hobby, let's develope our photo-capability together. Looking beautiful girls at distance is pleasant,however,not so much constructive. Photographing is creating art of our own. In this case I do not include "point and shoot" picture takers. We are artists, right?

As for lots of love, I have not come upon good answer to you yet, I have eaten too much of too delicious food, my brain stopped working. Please give me more time.
