Lunch date at Habitat @Upper Thomson Road

Secondary school favourite girls met up again! This time round, for Jiayin's birthday surprise~~



The Eggs Benedict which is both jean's and iris' favourite!



The Big Ben!



The famous Truffle Fries, which is pretty decent but nothing to rave about? Maybe cos our expectations are placed so high up due to many good reviews about it.


Cheeszy pasta with bacon and sausage. this is nice! The cream is not too thick like swensens which is a total turn off to me. 


The one at the top right corner is Black pepper dory. Dory is nice. But the pasta with black pepper is a little tad too spicy and too pepper-ish... if with milder sprinkle of pepper, the pasta will be so much better! the taste is not bad despite the spiciness!


Cutting of the puffy eggy!!


Birthday cake for Jiayin from the 4 leaves!






oh! Habitat allows reservation on weekends only for group of 6 and above! And we reached at 1.30pm, left our names on the waiting list and waited for 30mins. During the wait, we went to the rochor beancurd to have some desserts :)

Universal Studios Singapore

Spent only 30bucks each for the USS tickets! Went with family on a Sunday together with one closest cousin! 

Some touristy shots!



Everyone's favourite minion!!!!!!!!!!

*This costs 39.90SGD*


Just right outside the souvenir shop near the entrance!


Old school police car! at the hollywood area!



LOL..... Wanted my sister to help take a few 'artistic' shots with the mist lol but... it turns out pretty funny?


now you dont see me HAHA


Cool walkway near the mist emitting drain... so trying out model strutting down the vintage alley. lol fail much?




Battlestar galactica which is currently closed.
Red- Human
Blue- Cylon (a lot of near missed moments and inversion!)



Transformer area!




Easter was on the 18th April, and we went on the 20th! USS has an ongoing event from Friday to Sunday! So we saw the Easter Bunny and his company for performance!



Egypt~ reminds you of? the famous ride-- Revenge of the mummy.



The entrance to the dark ride~


We skipped the ride... too thrilling as reviewed by friends.

Inside the castle of Happy Ever After- Far Far away land~ waiting to watch the 4D movie of the shrek!


Review: Not as engaging? meaning, for example, the chair rocks as the horse in the screen gallops, but the chair does not rock in the same frequency. chairs are slower and... some chairs are faulty? dont rock when its supposed to.

Water live show near the Jurassic park! ooh try their canopy ride and the water ride (can get really wet though. ponchos are on sale at this attraction. so got to buy!)

oh this water live show IS AMAZING! a lot of stunts! a lot of pyrotechnics! and surprises! must watch!!








Next up! Madagascar!


Can you spot something hanging on the branch of the tree?



and returning back~ we spot the...


Can recognise??

The minions!! Didnt queue up because... the queue was too long. not that I dont want to join the queue, but cos the crew forbids us to :( There will be time intervals. so for my case then, the crew told us that the minions will be back at 6pm. Its like 3pm when we spotted them.





SO CUTE!!!! 

Note:
1) USS is structured in a shape of a globe. You will definitely not miss any attractions.
2) Do your research at home for those rides. like wikipedia them. Because, at the attraction itself, there are no signboards to show what kind of rides those are... there are indoor roller coaster, 4D rides, 4D movie etc read it up first!
3) Try Revenge of the Mummy and Transformer ride.
4) Take photos with the mascots!! yayy!!
