Unexpected!

I was just surfing the net looking for more information, articles and gossip about the Fifty Shades of Gray movie adaptation from the best selling novel by E.L. James. Hey, better late than never! I came by a youtube video of the interview of Ian Somerhalder by Ryan Seacrest.  For the whole interview, here is the link. I really like for Ian to play the role of Christian Grey, the mercurial leading man of the Fifty Shades Trilogy. 

While searching, my interest in Vampire Dairies was rekindled my interest in Vampire Diaries, a television adaptation of the young adult novel of L.J. Smith, where Ian portrays the role of  Damon Salvatore. I was look at some photos of the cast and the leads: Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder. I encountered the cover photos of Entertainment Weekly starring the lead cast of VD! Aside from the provocative and sensual pose of the cast, which I can honestly is an eye candy, I also manage to see this photo that made me laugh and almost caused me to have an asthma attack! As you see,  Nina Dobrev was removed from the picture and the image resulted to this:

Singapore Trip Day One

Taken while riding the Singapore Flyer 

My trip started from NAIA 3 terminal with a Cebu Pacific Flight to Changi International Airport that lasted approximately 4 hours and 30 minutes including the delays due to air traffic.

The country of Singapore is located near the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula  The country may be small in size and lacks natural resources with only a land area of 710 square kilometers and a population of 5 million people but it is highly urbanized and boost of tourist attractions^[1]. 

Singapore Flyer

My first stop was the Singapore Flyer. The Singapore Flyer is a giant Ferris wheel the ride is approximately 35 minutes long (one revolution). From the top you could see the Singapore skyline and some of the Indonesian islands. Inside the capsule you will not feel any motion sickness. Even those that are terrified of heights, you will not be scared.

Merlion Statue

The second stop was the Merlion statue. It is half lion and half fish. It is located at Merlion Park near the tip of the One Fullerton Hotel. At the back of the original Merlion, you will see it cub or as  we called it during our trip the Baby Merlion. The visit to Singapore is not complete without seeing the Merlion.

After visiting the Merlion Park, it was back to 30 Raffles Avenue or the Food Court of the Singapore Flyer to use the $10 coupon that we had for supper. Singapore food widely varies from Indian, Chinese and Malay influenced  food to western.

Singapore River Cruise

After eating we went to for the Singapore River Cruise depending on your choice it can be from 40 to 60 minutes. Personally go for the cruise during the night. Seeing the nightlights, the lower temperature will help a lot to enjoy your trip. Oh, I also forgot to mention that the sunset is around 7:00pm. Strange for those like me from the Philippines who are used to having the sun set by 6:00pm. After the river cruise, it was time to check in to our hotel and have a good nights rest!
