Haw Par Villa Trip 2016

-
Hi guys! My brother and I went to Haw Par Villa 

Address:
262 Pasir Panjang Road, Singapore 118628. 
Click here for its location on google map! 


How To Go: 
1.) MRT: You can travel by taking the circle line (yellow line) to Haw Par Villa MRT station (CC25) directly. Once you exit the MRT station, you've reached your destination on your right. 

2.) Bus: You can take bus 30 from Bedok interchange (about an hour or so) to arrive directly at the destination. There are several busses that can reach Haw Par Villa! 


Operating Hours & Admission:
Daily, 9am to 7pm. (last admission 6pm)
Admission is free! 



Background on Haw Par Villa: 
"Haw Par Villa is a theme park located along Pasir Panjang Road, Singapore. The park contains over 1,000 statues and 150 giant dioramas depicting scenes from Chinese mythology, folklore, legends, history and illustrations of various aspects of Confucianism. The park, originally called Tiger Balm Gardens, was built in 1937 by the Burmese-Chinese brothers Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par, the developers of Tiger Balm, as a venue for teaching traditional Chinese values."

 However, there are currently renovation works going on. Some parts are blocked for renovation. 
Below are the pictures we took:

Fu Lu Shou!





It's like flooded with rain :/








Lots of construction going on 
Ten Courts of Hell (The main attraction)




Description of 10 Courts of Hell

Didn't take any pictures inside the 10 Courts of Hell 
(because it didn't seem appropriate)

The water dried up :/ 








There're like turtles inside the very muddy water. 



I have always wanted to visit Haw Par Villa because it seems pretty interesting from the outside. 
You rarely see this kind of sculptures in Singapore. 
However, due to the heavy amount of construction that is going on,
I don't think it is advisable to visit the place right now. You wouldn't get much out of that trip. 
I feel kind of disappointed with the place.
I mean I know that it was constructed way before I was even born, there will be definitely wear and tear but there are really a lot of touching up and cleaning up to be done :/ 
Anyway, I hope that all these helps! (:

CDC Driving - Part 1

Hi guys! I have officially "graduated" from CDC Driving School (Ubi) on the 9th of December, meaning that I've passed my final practical driving test on that day !! HAHAA ⌣ For those who are going to start learning driving & have no idea where to start from, here are some rough guidelines for you guys, hope it helps!  Firstly, if you want to learn driving from school ( CDC Driving Centre ), you can go into CDC website-courses to choose which type of courses you will wish to enrol in (for example; Class 3 (manual) or Class 3 A ( a uto). You can first enrol online by filling in all the details and make the payment for the membership fee. However, you will still have to make your way down to CDC Customer Service Counter to:  Submit 1 passport size photograph - for Motorcycle enrolment only. Collect your student booklet and training kit. Have your eyesight tested before your first practical training.  Above information adapted from here .  Remembe...

CDC Driving - Part 2

Hello guys! After you guys have started attending all the practical driving lessons, around half way through, the instructor will evaluate you according your progress. He/she will then write down how many more lessons you will need before you can take your practical driving test. Therefore, based on the number of lessons, you can plan accordingly and start to enquire about the practical test date availability.  The availability of the test date will normally be a month later. For example, if I were to enquire on the 2nd of January 2017, the test date may be open around end of February/ start of March or so (I mean roughly). You can enquire directly at Counter 6 (if I'm not wrong) about the test date. You do not have to get a queue number from the Customer Service Centre, just queue directly at Counter 6 to enquire will do. You can also call up the Customer Service Centre to enquire about the test date.  One thing to note is that you have to be present to book the test da...

NTU YEAR 1 SEM 2

-
Nanyang Technological University 2016.  Biological Sciences Year 1, Semester 2.  Hi guys, last semester was like shit. LOL. Sem 2 was so much better for me.. maybe I gave myself lesser stress. I was finding it hard to cope for sem 1. It was maybe due to the subjects (I find the subjects much harder for sem 1 as compared to sem 2) and the new environment too (the change from polytechnic to university). Despite all these.. I've managed to pull through year 1 safe and sound (: So here it goes..   1.)  BS1007 Molecular & Cell Biology I   (exempted)  2.)  BS1100 Molecular and Cell Biology Techniques Level 1  (exempted)  Modules that I took for Semester 2: 3.)  BS1006 Principles of Genetics  (core) I would say that it was manageable? I don't really remember the content for this already HAHAHA 4.)  BS1008 Biostatistics    (core)  There're lectures and labs for this module. For the l...
