Resort World/Universal Studio Singapore (Under Construction)

I hope these videos can keep you company while I am away on vaccation. :)

Below photo taken from Vivo City. The uncompleted Resort World viewed from Vivo City.

Took the following videos from the monorail train.

These short videos are the still uncompleted Resort World and Universal Studio Singapore. They will be open next year and I am looking foward to it.

I took these videos when I visited Sentosa last week. I have more photos of Sentosa but will post only after I come back from my vaccation.

Going for a holiday

A much needed break. I am going for a very short trip out of Singapore.

Guess where I am going? Will tell you the answer when I return.

Boat Prize

This luxury sport boat is so beautiful but I could only see it and wont be able to win it...lol. I dont always win any big prizes except for consolation prizes...hahaha. The most expensive prize I won was a $200+ handbag by a female magazine.

The boat is a prize organized by American Express. You can view more information from their website.

Wedding Dinner - Yummy

The wedding was followed by a dinner in the night.

Wedding cake

VIP Table where the bridal couple sit with their parents and relatives.

Oh I love these beautiful flowers

The gift box was used to collect ang pows (wedding gifts of money in red packets) given by family, relatives and friends.

A very chinese wedding dinner with the suckling pig as the main attraction.

The pig is about to be naked...lol

We ate the skin with the mini pancakes and the meat were used to cook another dish.
These are the remainder of the roast pig being cooked with other ingredients and we ate it by wrapping them in the cabbage leaves.

Wedding

Been so busy with nephew's wedding. It was such a joyful and happy day and we are so happy that he finally got married...lol.

This is the chinese custom where the bridegroom need to have his hair combed by his mother and his dad has to read the phrase of good lucks. The mirror and comb are the accessories for the ritual and the ruler is to bless him with many children.

The phrase is

The first combing : from beginning till the end

The second combing : harmony from now till old age

The third combing : sons and grandsons all over the place

The fourth combing : good wealth and a long-lasting marriage.
Eating of Glutinous rice balls or "tang yuan" for good luck.
Then there will be a tea ceremony where the wedding couple would serve tea to the elders and in return they get gifts of money or gold.

Wedding gift to bride...........sorry cannot show you inside contents of the box cause it does not belongs to me...lol
