Melaka River Cruise
The Melaka River Cruise took us along the Malacca River that runs across the Malacca town. We came here after dinner and this was our last stop of the day.

The Baba House
The Baba House is located in one of the units in the rows of old shophouses in Malacca. While some of its neighours are severely dilapidated, this hotel has preserved the beauty of the traditional building.
Below the windows are detailed wood cravings depicting life in the olden days.
In contrast to the common areas of the hotel, the rooms are plain and simple.
The hand wash basin is placed outside the bathroom, just next to the door to the room. On the right of the basin is the door to the bathroom.
Here's a closer look at the beautiful basin.

Universal Studio Singapore
My company decided that we'll go to Universal Studio Singapore for company day-out this year. At this point, the theme park isn't in full operations yet. The Battlestar Galactica hasn't reopen since its shutdown due to safety issue, and Transformers and Madagascar Crate Adventure aren't ready too.
Tickets to the park and SGD 25 RWS voucher
We set off from our company in Science Park after lunch. The weather was bright and sunny... and hot and humid... I wishes so much that Singapore can be just a little bit cooler. First stop: Revenge of the Mummy (indoor roller-coaster).
Statues outside the Revenge of the Mummy
Next, we move on to the next zone, the Lost World. The Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure seems to be the most popular; the waiting time was 90 minutes!

So, we moved on to Far Far Away, which actually isn't very far away. We queued to watch the Shrek 4-D Adventure. I always love 3D/4D shows in theme parks. This one didn't disappoint me too. Then, we took the rather kiddish Enchanted Airways roller-coaster.

Our last ride for today: King Julien's Beach Party-Go-Round in Madagascar zone.
My favourite Gloria the hippo from Madagascar movie.
It a pity that towards the evening, the sky started pouring... sigh... and so, most of us didn't manage to catch the WaterWorld show.
Ngong Ping
From our hotel in the Yau Ma Tei (油麻地) vicinity, we took the MTR from Jordan station to Tung Chung (東涌) station.
Then, we joined the super long queue to board the bus that will take us up the mountain to Ngong Ping (昂坪).
After coming down the hill from the Big Buddha, we walked over to Ngong Ping Village for our lunch break and to hide from the hot summer weather.

Wishing for good things in life
While we took the bus up the mountain, we took the cable car back down to Tung Chung.
It's a long way down the mountain and over the sea.
