8 WONDERS - Mark Advent


audi 1 filled


this talk by Mr Mark Advent, 8 Wonders
if u read the newspaper, he's one of those 3 bidding for Sentosa IR
the other two: Genting and Universal


shiqin, cat and meizhu
juz woke up from the boring talk


Mark talks about the very amazing things that will appear in Harry's Island, Sentosa
The roller coaster rides, the branded shops, marine world, mammal hospitals
security by mayor of new york city.. etc


the hotel rooms are really a spectacle.
if they win, sentosa's going through a revamp!
he calls the new world - Harry's Island


he built these stone structure around so it looks like everything's inside the volcano
kinda thing. and there's this huge waterfall
there's a VERY high chance he may win the bid, i feel


in the middle of the waterfall, there's this theatre kinda thang
pretty neat
and they'll be preserving all the tree that surrounds Harry's Island


results will be out in december
and building will start till 2010
so probably next year we'll be disturbed by those drilling when studying in TAS

i'm really impressed with all these billion dollar project
but why is it coming from an ang mo?
shouldn't it be a singaporean?
in this way, singaporeans could never be part of the top management
and if i were to work there, my kids will be eating western food for the next 30 years

a lot of ppl are awed by this project
but i'm worried, very worried
because i see it as a modern day colonisation



CYA Recommendation of the week:
Fish & Chips at T2 Staff Canteen
very crispy batter on big chunks of fish
however the fish falls apart easily
and my folks complained that the pepper taste is too strong
but i personally enjoyed it
