exchange rates

Recently, the exchange market has been rather exciting. Partly due to the drop in oil prices and then there's the economy reverberations. The interesting thing yet, is not the fluctuations.

I've went around Chinatown, parkway, marina Square, vivo City, Orchard ion money changers attempting to change Japanese yen. All didn't give me the good 90 I was looking for. All except two.

And the funny thing was, both the shops were running out of yen! Yet this goes against the economics of supply and demand where limited supply inflates the value of objects.

Wonders why. ...

Archery - Genting


My first time doing archery. Its rather tiring after a dozen arrows. My left arm, i.e. the bow arm, starts to ache. But as I continue onto my 20th arrow, the ache seems to go away as I make futile attempts to aim. There isn't much entertainment in Genting besides arcade, bowling, archery and theme parks. Most pple go there for the casino. I really dislike the smoke over in Genting. Alot of indoor places are smoke filled. Once I entered the lobby of the First World Hotel where we stayed, my eyes started watering. Every morning it happens. And my clothes will stink of smoke after the entire day of walking from First World to Highlands hotel with my uncles and aunt. And snaking in and out of the casino to look for them. Things are half priced there, everything except the shopping. The design actually looks good, but i wouldn't buy at those prices. Food is pretty okay over there. Not totally cheap, but cheaper than SG. We ate at Old Town, can you imagine?! haha.. yummy...

Chin Swee Temple - Genting


This is the temple, the only attraction I know of in Genting. (Cable car's not an attraction since most pple use it as transport) That's where we got our vegetarian food also. Haha.. these photos are really late, was there before new year, am only posting now that new year's almost over...

Vegetarian?!?!? - Genting




So here we have prawns, chicken and barbecued pork. But.. the catch is, they're vegetarian! the prawns taste good, but i wouldn't say the same for chicken and pork. I love chicken, but vegetarian chicken just cannot seem to taste the same! haha.. well, still, a yummy meal. :)
