Had fun with my dear today. As a form of valentine gift I was prepared to fork out $50 to let my dear have fun at the arcade, more specifically the machine with a rotating canal of sweets where you have to use the digger to dig up the sweet, place it on a moving platform that pushes the sweets to drop them in a chute. And if any of the sweets strike the Checker tab while falling, the player gets a chance at getting the Jackpot prize. Most of the time however, the player will get 1 or 2 or 3 pts, which will accumulate and the Jackpot prize will also payout when the player accumulates a total of 25 pts.

We were lucky, and managed to get those 25pts with 25 bucks. Along with the big bag of sweets we inevitably get, and a dragon ball figurine, there are also various coupons which allows us to play various UFO Catchers for free. We had a total of 6 credits, and with that we caught a Stitch and a Pooh Bear soft toy.

So in short, for $25, we got all these:

I feel that it is well worth the money. Don’t you?

Although this prize is quite useless:

Then we took a walk from Suntec City to AngBao River and saw a horrendous wire sculpture of what was supposed to be rabbit but looked like a pig with rabbit ears that had recently escaped out of a highly classified Genetics Research Lab.

We also witness how the War Memorial and the 2 durians (Esplanade) form a weird shape..

And that having such a fun boating game for kids is definitely a very good idea. They won’t have to worry about drowning.

I’ve also noticed that they position the God Of Wealth, Cai Sheng at the same position every year. Now I know why.

Still, I feel it rather weird that the fun stuffs are position side by side with places of sorrow. You know how the Chinese avoid funerals and deaths during New Year.

Below are 2 pictures where they obviously did not respect our glorious dead, or heel their cultural traditions.

Have fun everyone, and a late Happy Chinese New Year to all!
