I want to go home!


We have not blogged for quite sometime because I feel sian. Haha... because there isn't much Lunar New Year mood here. My land lady is very ang moh so she doesn't quite celebrate Lunar New Year too.

We just had hot pot for reunion dinner with Frances and our neighbours. Then we had dim sum with a group of friends. No ang paos. No Mandarin Oranges. No cheesy new year songs.

In addition, I fell really sick after my trip to Disney World so we didn't have much to blog about. What can we write? Doris couldn't sleep well at night cos her nose was TOTALLY blocked. Doris couldn't sleep at night cos she had bad, chesty cough.

But I am feeling better now. And I am starting to miss all the Singaporean food. Oh! We will be back in less than 5 months time! Time flies!

Disney World - EPCOT















Mission: SPACE - This is a simulator that enables you to feel the effects of taking off to space. We went for both less intense and more intense training. Less intense was fine. For the more intense, you could really feel the pressure. We had headaches for the next 2 hours after the ride. 




World Showcase: Japan






World Showcase: Morocco







World Showcase: Germany


World Showcase: America


World Showcase: Mexico

Disney World - Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is the most child-like place among the four theme parks. The rides are very children friendly and not scary at all. It is really a haven for children, especially for girls. I mean, who can resist being dolled up like princesses and dine with their fairy godmothers at the Cinderella's Castle? 


As usual, huge crowd at the entrance. 


Cinderella's Castle




I managed to keep my eyes opened throughout. 












Silly Jungle Cruise


These are all fake.


including the crocodiles 

and the elephants.


Monsters Inc. 
This was really hilarious. Excellent visual, funny crew and a sporting audience made this one of our favourites in Disney World. And the best part is, every show is different.  
 



The complete sentence reads: Jesus loves you.




"it's a small world"






Tom Sawyer's Island


I got a free photo pass. Yeah!!!!



Wishes at Cinderella's Castle. I think it is one of the most spectacular firework shows I have ever seen. Picture this: A spark of fireworks whizzed past the beautifully lit Cinderella' Castle when the music went "When I wish upon a star...." 


We were there 2 hours before the show. We got the beat vantage point. Soon afterwards, the park was packed with people. Almost everyone was seated so that the rest could enjoy the show. The moment the fireworks started, everyone cheered. It was a really beautiful moment.
