This is somewhat a continuation of how we spent our CNY holiday weekend...we're supposed to go somewhere (did I hear it right? Korea yeh!)hehehe farfetched, but well , dream on... so we ended up on top of Mt. Faber! (sounds touristy huh?! yeh! not our first time to go there but as a group? YES!!! as the saying goes...the more the merrier...and with the company of good friends...ahhh it just spells F-U-N!
Confessions, confessions...of course of all the places in SG, why on earth in Mt. Faber? aside from the fact that it's the only one open during this CNY ...hmmm er, because I found out that Rain did went there and held his presscon when he was here...there...satisfied?!!!! woot! woot! woot!
it's raining! go rain! it's raining!
As everybody knows how to get there (Mt. Faber that is) it's either one will go by bus, car, and of course the added thrill was one will leave the Harbour front building via the cable car! and what a way to travel, and it RAINed while we were staring at the breathtaking view before us...teeheheehee...not we're actually busy taking photos of ourselves (Des, Aebee and moi!)...I'm sure the guys on the other cabin (The lovey dovey couples-Conrad and Anette, Sonny and Jody) were quite as busy clicking away...
Hey guys, that is Vivo City! what a different design it has right? can't actually define what is it exactly?
So it was RAINing, the shots were blurry, yup we're nearing the Mt. Faber...
The place where this guy had his press conference...yeah,yeah I know...looks like stalking right?but it's postmortem hahaha...

This is the lobby of the Jewel Box at Mt. Faber Cable Car station...it houses the Altivo bar, which looks like an alfresco bar...especially during nighttime, basing on the breezy ambience with its plush lounge chairs, hmmm on a balmy evening under a starry night with the full panoramic view of Sentosa across the sea, being serenaded by no less than the man...hehehe guess who?
First task...to take a photo of oneself while sitting on hammock-like chair and flashing 'that' sign
can't help it, has to cover the itsy-bitsy of the nook and crannies of this place...looks cozy huh, could've been mistaken for someone else's living room right?

The husband and wife (Conrad and Anette) posing under the sign of The ALTIVO BAR, where supposedly RAIN had his ice lemon tea hehehe (that's a trivia courtesy of Jenny, one of the waitress at that bar, and a Filipina at that!)
no gig is complete without The group picture, and this is just ONE of them hehehe, made possible by the automatic counter of one of the so many cameras that day...

looks familiar, isn't it? hehehe gotcha! we sat on the very sofa...teeheehee
after that grueling photo shoots...we need to quench our thirst and feed our grumbling tummies!

Straight from the Jewel Box menu, a latte, yup it does taste like coffee but in a not so comfy mug i might say...
this one's the iced lemon tea, he...tasted like lemon...tea?not! it's actually a coke!
presenting...tananan...coffee...bow!
with chicha...tacos grilled at that with 3 side dippings, a sour cream ( ahhh not sour nor ahhh does it have a taste at all?), a salsa ( yeah, puede pasar!), and the patok cheezwhizzzzz!
this ones after the storm hehehe, forgot to take a pic of the before (hungry! pabo yah!) and a lightly grilled sandwich ala taco bell with potato wedges ( hmmm this ones good!)
and as I was looking around, saw this open concept toilet, breezie, yep!
after the lafang, we trooped to queue for the cable car ride to Sentosa, whew! talk about QUEUEing up, took us actually 30minutes tops before our turn comes...so to kill time, we decided to have a mock-SANTACRUZAN...complete with the floral arches, the pole bearers and of course the Queen (reyna delas flores! nya hahahaha!)
once again our reigning queen...Da-Se-Lei no less or more?
as we turn into the last curve, saw this interesting pool of cable cars...wonder who invented them? well, want to share some trivia but too lazy to search for it ha, you can do a more decent job on finding it...so go!
ah, but searching for this photo, me not lazy hahahaha...and a little trivie...yup RAIN did used cable car # 88 and according to the sources , yep it's their dining cable car he used, he was actually eating inside atop the coachie while being interviewed (yeah , yeah privy from the stalkers' eyes and he's filled up as well, cya, cya! talk 'bout strategy!)
so, match, match with the tons of pics i've taken that day and voila! yes! eureka! this was the one RAIN used, hahaha (wondering, how did he managed to squeezed in?)
enough!after lining up for the long...est...est...est...est of time, we finally boarded and glance upon the world below. Hey, we spotted a luxury ship...in the not so distant future...this can be a potential topic on this blog...yeah unnies, oppahs? arso?!
closer view perhaps?wow, luxurious indeed!
hmmm reminds me of 'Titanic' days, when Leonardo di Caprio was the one I fancied hehehe, hey that was during the board exams awwww!
passing the other side of Vivo City...this one got a nicer view with most of the restos can be seen...
after some 'bobbing' aboard the cable car, we finally reached our next destination...Sentosa Island! And the first thing that caught our eyes was the Sky Tower (...is brought to you by Carlsberg beer...the best beer in the world!)

honestly, i thought this was a new added attraction here but seems like I'm not quite updated with Sentosa and my last visit here was eons ago...not much discussion, instant hit among us and excitedly we queued up (yeh Sonny!)
this is the new 'thingy" at the Imbiah lookout of Sentosa, it can accommodate more than a dozen people, it rotates slowly as it ascends to more than 100 meters above sea level hahaha that's why it's called sky tower...
ready for take off..the thrill seekers boarded the shuttle with aplomb hahaha
wa wa wi wa! we were higher than the cable car we rode just awhile ago 
and as we go up...there's the Merlion (the confused one...hahaha)
and it becomes smaller ...
and smallest? hahahaha
then it rotates gently for us to view the Siloso beach houses (er, looks like the one in Payatas, right guys?)
then we chance upon this 'ski-like' cable car ride...and it's aptly called Skyride!
ahh, breathtaking indeed...the Palawan beach, but the Palawan we knew and love back in the Pinas is way, way as in way, bigger, huge, humongous and panoramic and breathlessly taking beach...this one looks like a miniature beach (a beachie?...)
all aboard!!!
and as we slowly descend from above (hahaha), we chance upon these three lovely peacocks, we saw them earlier from the ground but we didn't expect there were others on top of the Sentosa signage...threesome huh?!
down, down, down...
next stop...the Skyride...nice, nice, nice...not even the Rain will stop us hehehe
ooops Conrad nearly didn't make it, too bad though because of the Rain and the heights we weren't able to take photos while we were actually riding it...sigh
The theme park gig has come to an end and our grumbling tummies were too much noisy to ignore, but we decided to leave Sentosa by maxicab to go to Suntec City to grab our dinner...where to go, mate? yup, off we go to Outback resto hehehe not in Suntec but in Marina Square hehehe...
