A more slack week(3days wk oni)...Kusu island trip

Yeah...Last week was defintely more relaxed..with 2 days free..no nd travel all the way to sch...Haiz...but my frens got projs, can;t go out..

Hehe lucky sun got a chance go out..leave singapore main island with my parents...to Kusu island (tortoise dao) pray.....hehe a break from study(must relax oso)... But the travelling abit long..
Need go marina bay then take bus to marina bay pier take ferry...e transportation abit ex..$14 per person(2-way trip).

Quite excited as been quite a while since i took ferry..On the way up the ferry...the wave was quite strong..

Oops I felt abit dizzy...things starts to shake abit..lucky i din eat too full..if not will vomit..
I started to get used to the shaky condition..I focus on the boats on the sea..Wow...a real pretty sight..The ships afar look so small....but u bet it is definitely a few times bigger than the ferry I'm taking...

2omin passed..we finally reached Kusu island...The outlook of it looks very much like a village..Heard the island is in the shape of tortoise but din get a chance to view it..not on helicopter ma..

Hehe heard there's 2temples here...one chinese..and one Datuk malay temple...

The Chinese temple is located very near to the entrance of the island..took ard 5min to reach there....Wow..A wishing well in front of the temple...Must hit 1 of the 3 bells then my wish would come true...tried a few attempts and was really happy when a "ding" sound was heard..I had hit the bell and hope that my wish would cum true..

Then i proceed on to the temple...It looks like the other temples I had been to..Only difference is It kept lots of terapins...Hehe I like terapins very much....they look just like my pet terapin at home...Dunno why I will feel peaceful and smile whenever I see them.... hehe the outer wall on one end was painted full of tortoise pictures....It even kept a "gold coined tortoise" sure bring alot of luck....hehe There's even a statue of a few tortoises... Everything is so wonderful except for the hazey smoke due to burning of incense.... I became a "cry baby" in no time...Haiz couldn't stand the smoke..started tearing....There were at least 30 ppl offering incense at the same time..

I quickly went to an open space to breathe after praying...I was back to normal in no time....
Hmm...As the air became clearer..By then most ppl would have prayed....Nxt boat would be here in at least 3omin...Hehe I saw Palsam Malam nearby...My favorite..Things were so cheap...6 for $10....bought a windmilll...2 small bags...1 small coin pouch for $6(hehe shared with my mum)

Then we went to the hawker ctr (erm actually got a few stalls located there....selling food..) dunno wat to call them...Erm by the way..Think Economics makes sense....They did not have much competition thus the px was steeply priced and food tasted awkful...Haiz they were oligopoly who paid no attention to cust satisfaction but just on speed delivery...Haiz...No choice..No other food to eat le.. My mum was more picky abt food, din eat after a few bites..My dad was HUNGRY..just see the speed he gobbled up the food...Hehe lucky we shared food and he ate a huge portion...I was not that hungry...

Nxt we climbed up the stairs to go Datuk temple...It was a LONG LONG LONG way up...My mum lagged behind as her legs hurted...I tried to assist her up and encouraged her.... I started to pant too...Wa need to exercise more le.. Haha think not so bad la...3 kids behind us was panting even more furiously even though they each carry a packet of water in their hand...

The temple was much smaller scale...Only My mum prayed .. my dad n I just queued up for a blessings session....They chanted hokkein..sounds like gd luck to study...work...Hehe Hope I will have those luck...HEY at the other side of the stairs at the foot there was a beautiful shore...Hmm seems like I'm at east coast...but the water was fresher....hehe not so much pollution....picked up stones and threw them into the sea...FANTASTIC...The feeling of throwing away ur problems to far far away was amazing..felt so relaxed...

We rested a while more before we went back to the ferry...hehe really enjoyed my trip at the island....Nxt we went to Outram to eat food...Yummy....They were stalls relocated from Chinatown....It was a 10min walk to Chinatown...Hey I saw Korean sailors there....Thought they were Chinese initially but their name tags gave them away..

Then there were acrobats performance at the streets....wa...they were very flexible..This young gal had at least 10 hula hoops on her waist...and she was just swaying with no effort at all..amazing... Then we got sian when 2male performers came up..They were doing mute show...abit sian...

We shopped awhile more b4 gg back to the mrt (hmm the stalls da tong xiao yi lei,nothing unique). Didn't buy much...By then we were all very tired think ard 6plus le and we went home..
Hehe felt that today was well spent....Wanted to go back Kusu island again..hehe
