It's Saturday 18th of Oct, Edward day off and also i need to go for my medical check up. Just went to the nearest clinic, so easier if my report is out. We walk few blocks trying to find the cheapest clinic and settle for the first clinic that i went. I got low blood pressure... and they need to take my blood to sample again. Scare me so much and it hurt. After that, no place to go we decided to go see the merlion. I wanted to see it, it's like going to China without seeing the Great Wall. Same things apply in here, come to Singapore must see the merlion. Before going there, we went to Esplanade Theatres on The Bay.
Taken this pic on the rooftop with the backdrop of the Singapore Flyer. One day have to go and try it.
This pic look a little bit fake. Like something out of a poster
We have the same pose over and over again with different backdrop only.
The background with the city view.
It's a library. This library really look nice but too bad can't take pic inside the library. Taken outside the entrance. I used to like to go the the library when i was younger. I can finish 3 books in a week time. Nowadays magazine is the only thing that i read.
After going to the rooftop, we wanted to walk over the bridge to see the merlion in the Merlion park. While walking out, we saw there's some kind of performance going on outside in the Outdoor Theatre. It's a cultural dance from Bali, Indonesia about some epic love story of Ramayana. Well, we down and have a sit, front row seat. The performance takes 45 minutes only and about 20 minutes we decided to leave. It's not really boring but just not into it.
Halfway on the bridge with the Esplanades Theatre behind us. 
That's the merlion behind us. We saw all kind of people taking pic in this bridge. Married couples, nuns, graduation students, tourists and also us.
We really took alot of shot with this merlion. All the same pose and background again.
This the smaller merlion, Edward call it the 'baby merlion'. 
Side view
Again.. cos can't see the merlion body.
This is the merlion. It's the one that all the magazine and television show. Well can't get the front shot unless we go down the water. One day we take a tour ride and take a front shot of it.
All the same pose again....
Notice something, the sunglasses no longer there.
The full view of the merlion with water...
Same pose again......
Taken on the bridge....
Again.
Me and the merlion
After visiting the merlion. We wanted to go meet Jess in Far East Plaza in Orchard. She just been transfer here today. Replacing someone. We walk back to the Esplanades Theatre, saw this performance again in the lobby area. Look similar to the one we watch a moment ago.
Well this is a piece of art by a young Japanese guy. I'm not really artistic to understand the beauty of it but it certainly look complicated. Complicated like our life but still full of colours. 
Somebody need to explain it. There have details next to this but too lazy to read. 
On the way to the mrt station. We come across this huge poster. Edward ask me to take pic with it, as if we can lie to people it's the real view. It certainly look real and fake at the same time.
19th of Oct, it's Sunday. My off day again and Edward suppose to work today. He come out with i don't know what reason not to go and end up have his off day for next week for today. Went to another clinic for my x-ray. Alot of people and was rushing cos they close at 12 noon. It's just a small miniature x-ray. Hope everything's fine.
After going the clinic, no place to go suddenly Edward decided to go to the Chinese Garden which is very very far. We are having RECESSION also, so we only go to places that don't need to spend money or anything. Smart right. We need time to recover from that and it's not easy.
The garden is so big, the first thing we visited in there is this 7 Storey Pagoda. Basically it has nothing in it. We decided to climb the stairs, well Edward carry me halfway. Wasted so much energy climbing the stairs.
The Entrance. Forget what it write already, i guess it say something about the clouds.
Certain floor, we stop halfway to catch our breath and take pic.
This is the highest floor. I have vertigo, i'm afraid of height and it's not good. 
Nice view of the lake... 
Well Edward carry me down all the way until the first floor. Taken this pic of the circular staircase in the pagoda. You can only see my head...
After that, we saw quite alot of statue of all the great Chinese figure. Taken this pic with Admiral Zheng He. I saw his documentary and there's a believe that he round the world with 600 ships with 1000 people per ship and much more earlier than Christopher Columbus. Well, approximately 70 years earlier.
This is Mulan. I only saw the cartoon before, quite nice.
There's the Twin Pagoda but it's lock, so we didn't bother walking over. It's actually noon time and it's pretty hot.
Next stop, it's The Live Turtle & Tortoise Museum. It held the Guiness World Records of the largest collection of tortoises and turtle with the figure of 3,456 which includes over 1,000 live specimens, all of which have been collected by Connie and Danny Tan and are housed in here. Jenn and Calvin would have a blast in here with so many tortoises and turtles to look at. Maybe in another 10 years time, they too will have the largest collection of that???
Up close and personal with the turtle.
This is the area which all of the collection of turtle are housed. Well, entrance fee is needed in here and it cost SGD5. Well, i decided to go since it look so interesting.
This is all the live turtle in the aquarium. Not all we manage to take the pic. Some are pretty scary looking. This look cute, remind me of Squirt in Finding Nemo.
Guess this tortoises are pretty old.
This are the turtle which i use to catch in the drain when i was younger. I even saw the egg hatch again.
Wonder what are they doing on top of each other???
