Universal Studio - Singapore


Finally arrived on the studio :-) 
It's almost a year ago actually. So it might be outdated already. But it was fun and memorable. I love the design of the studio, the characters and all the colors inside. It's amazing day at the Universal Studio Singapore :-)
I went here with my sister as part of our 3 days trip in Singapore. 
On the day, we arrived too early around 9 AM. Around 10 AM the gate to the studio is finally open. We anxiously walk in to see a beautiful setup inside. On my first stop is the Battlestar Galactica. 2 amazingly scary roller coaster. I am not a fan of theme parks actually, especially when it comes to roller coaster or any challenging games. I prefer a safe, enjoyable, relax trip, Thanks. But here I can't stop myself to at least try it once. So I decided to sit my butt on the blue one. And 3 seconds after it started, I wish I can just go back down.

We spent almost whole day with slight rain in between. I can't say much of the games provided here. I thought it's more suitable for teenagers or group of youngsters. I'm only 25 actually but I don't think playing along is more amusing than seeing the movie-like setups in this park. And it is definitely a THEME PARK.






























If you are looking for another view, this Theme Park is definitely a good idea. Especially if you are travelling with a group of friend. Also a good choice for photo-hunting. And you got to see the shows perform here. The males singers, the females singers, etc. You can get the details on flyers available on certain place in the park. Ask the staff if you're not certain where to get it. What a lovely experience. I hope I can re-visit again someday. Only this time I will pay for half-day only.

We closed the day with Songs of The Sea performance. Still in the resort world Sentosa. Its actually a light-effect mixed with live-singers and performs after sunsets. A nice closing for our trip of the day :-)
















Graduation - Act against arrogance and laziness


I never thought the day will come, but it came anyway
I thought my journey has ended, but yet it just begun

25 Juni 2012 has become a new starting point of my life. Finally on this date I went through my graduation ceremony. 

I remember on September 2004, when I first enter university. I imagined it would be amazing, to study, to be adult (finally) and to graduate. Normally it'll take 4-5 years to finish Bachelor degree, and I was confident that I can finish in 4 years. I thought it's confidence, never realize it's my number one enemy - arrogance. 

I went through each course with outstanding grades, and so over-proud of my abilities that I can perform better than most other students. I took unusual final assignment topic, made it sound interesting and sophisticated. I was so arrogant and cocky to myself that I forgot to rely on God. I forgot that I have weaknesses too. I keep dragging and delaying this assignment, often with multiple reasons which sounded reasonable to people, not realizing that I have given up to my other enemy - laziness. I was too lazy to work things out that I blindly wished that God will make it all finish on one sweep on His Hand. I kept on praying to God, asked for miracles so I can finally graduate. But inside my heart I know, God has given more than enough to help me graduate. The main problem is I don't want to do my part. 

That changed on early this June. God had helped me to realize that I'm arrogant and I'm lazy. And that caused me more than enough problems. That prevented me from being good when I actually able to be great. He gave amazing blow on my life. Make me see through my future, how it will be if I continue being my lazy-selfish-cocky-self, how much more I'll lose each day. Isn't it amazingly hurt to see yourself in such a bad shape and realize that your well-maintained personality is truthfully nothing but a big fat lie? It was hurt as hell and I was scared. So scared that I thought it might be better to just entirely given up and live life as it was. But God will never allow me to do that. 

On one special night, he reminded me on one thing, He is God with an amazing plan on my life. He will not fail me, even when I failed Him for too many times. T___T

As soon as i took my first step, I see miracles everyday. How is it possible to finish up 4 years delayed work in just few days? It's possible and it has happened!!! I was able to finish the assignment, although not as good as I hope it would be, and able to attend the final test, and received an A for it! And finally I can give one happiness for my mother, for her to finally see me graduate after a long 8 years waiting.

How great is Our God!! The One that changes impossibility to reality.
