Well, AhGoh invited me to coauthor for this blog; so, well, here I am — my very first entry. NICE.
First thing first, hmm…I have a confession to make(sort of) — welllll, I’m very much an arty farty, anime-crazy, photography has-been, nature-loving kinda guy. Sooo (to avoid any future complaints), I guess I have to state upfront that what I’m going to bring in will invariably be different from our hyper-active and super adventurous Mr Goh here.
It will mainly revolve around the Arts scene — exhibitions, galleries, museums, workshops, concerts, movies and all that kinda stuff. Yup. And, I have to add that I’m a proud advocate for ‘free entertainment’. Well, I’m helping you save some of your hard-earned $$ too, you know. Heh.
Taste the sea water. Dance with the wind. I know you'll have a good time with this ,watersports lovers. Also, if u guys wanna try out something new and exciting, this is it for you cause its really fun!
What: Wakeboarding
Verdict: Absolutely cool man! Although I've only tried once and have problem even maintaining a standing posture across the water, but wow! Its still totally awesome and a totally new experience. Bring some sun block or sun tan lotion along you'll need it. Recommend you guys to try it. Remember, have fun and don't waste your weekends!

Verdict: Ok, I've made some enquiries with the people there and they've mention that the slope is gentle and inclined @ around 20-25 degrees and hence require some pushing at the top for the ball to roll.
How fun is it to roll like ball and then climb back up like a hamster? I leave it to you guys to decide man. Remember, reinvent and have fun with your weekends =)
P.s please don't flame me if you all think this is an ridiculous thing to do. Remember I'll give ideas of interesting activities to do and everyone's opinions differ.
Your favorite super heroes like Optimus Prime from Transformer, Skywalker from Star Wars are all there. So are things that u don't believe you can see them again, like old school iron, vinyl songs, vintage coka-cola bottles.
If you have time to spare on a lazy Sunday, why not pay a visit down to Far East Square, where the weekly toys and antique bazaar is held. Lots of collectible toys and antiques you can find there, @ discounted and bargainable prices too.. Check out some of the pics below.
WhO: China Square Central Toys and Antique Bazaar When: Sundays late morning till late afternoon (around 5) Where: China Square (near chinatown opposite hong lim complex)
Verdict:
Toys collectors, movies, anime and comic fans you have just found your haunt! Theres so full of bargain and undiscovered gems in this place I guess you can spend a hour or 2 here. Oh and bring cash there, because the merchants there normally do only accept cash. Ladies if you need a gift for your bf, why not make a trip down there and get something for him? Guys, all i can say is, relieve your childhood fantasies here. Iron man, hulk, spiderman, batman, cloud, stephiroth.... May the force be with you all.
YOU deserved a break, away from the buzz of city life. YOU want to smell the fragrance of the flowers and fertilizers, YOU want to inhale fresh clean air and YOU want to dine the freshest food with your loved ones.

Located right next to GMax reverse bungy, GX5 - Extreme Swing offers the ultimate "viking ship" experience. For those who feels that their heart cannot take the pounding of the GMax, you guys can try GX5 too!
The "flyers" feel the sensation of a short free fall and then a rush of adrenalin as they fly out over the Singapore river. They then swing backwards and forwards over the Clarke Quay flight path before returning safely to the launch position.
The GX-5 promises to give all tourists to Singapore a fantastic experience and a whole new perspective on Clarke Quay. Why just visit Clarke Quay when you can fly over it!
Pics coming up!
