singapore trip report – part 3

We had lunch at Raffles Place ( siu long bao ), then walked around the place a bit. Saw a ridiculously long queue for doughnuts. I wouldn’t stand in line for 2 hours for a doughnut lol.

Went to Robinsons, bought two pairs of nice shoes at very reasonable prices. then waited around for FA to determine if she should get THAT pair of shoes 😉

The last time I was in Singapore, my hot cousin and I ‘accidentally’ went to a shop in Centre Point, where they were selling almost everything at S$15. Coats and jackets and suits at $60 pet set, which was a damn good price if you ask me, considering the quality of the clothes. Well, we went to the shop again, but there wasn’t anything like that 🙁 The closest to a price markdown was S$40 for two long sleeved shirts. I don’t need anymore shirts, so…

EL wanted to eat ( it’d been an exhaustive excursion so far ), so she took us to this place in Centre Point. Can’t remember the name to save my life. It was Japanese, their specialty was grilled yakitori. You could either grill them yourself or have the chef do the deed for you. Quite awesome, really. They also had this tomato thingy for starters.. fresh tomato with something like a honey spicy mustard sauce thingy..

Food food glorious food!

Everything was awesome! Later my hot cousin joined us so we camwhored a bit..

Girls out

Then FA and EL went to do more shopping and clubbing. Me and my hot cousin went back to the hotel, chilled out for a bit then went to a small pub next to the many backpackers’ hostels in Little India. Had a very lovely time.

Next morning, FA dragged me out of bed to makan breakfast provided by the hotel. Then we went back to bed, heh, only to be awakened by the receptionist reminding us to check out.

Took the MRT to Harbour Front, then met Pinky and Anzi in Vivo City. I had an inane desire for kuay chap, so they willingly obliged…

I’d NEVER seen kuay chap in KL.. Actually I didn’t eat it so much in Batu Pahat, because my dad always ordered congealed pig’s blood which I find eww. I only really liked kuay chap in Singapore when Pinky took me to a hawker stall near her place. It was AWESOME! I LOVE ME PIGS INTESTINES!!! Yes anttyk, I know what went though them, but they do clean it you know.

Here’s a photo of me lovelies…

Pig's intestines, yay!

After lunch, we walk walk a bit, and Anzi wanted to take us to a shop where they sell inexpensive clothes for work. Turned out to be Niichi, lol! But I think they have stuff in Singapore not available in Malaysia? Last I checked anyway.

Here’s a photo of my other lovelies…

Suanie, Pinky, Anzi, Fireangel

We were to leave at 5.30 pm, so we had a quick bite at a stall selling NY Pizza. Which turned out to be giant pizza slices, but IMHO Domino’s is way nicer.

Said our goodbyes ( I love you all sniff mwah ) then boarded the bus, headed home. FA has a customs story to tell, you can read it at her blog later if she decides to spill, heh 😉

Thanks Nuffnang, Tim, Ming, HuiWen, Suertes, EL, Hot Cousin, Pinky and Anzi for everything. Get well soon, Dr Buck and Cowboy 🙂

Sekian.

singapore trip report – part 2

We woke up rather late on Saturday and missed breakfast provided by the hotel. So we headed over to the Indian restaurant next door ( not unlike your local mamak restaurant ) where I had their roti kosong set, and FA had their roti bakar set.

Suanie breakfasting in Singapore

It was not good. Imagine those frozen roti canai that you can buy from hypermarkets, and you thaw them in the microwave at home. It was teh sux. At that point in time, I realised how much I missed the mamak restaurant near my office. I made a mental note to appreciate the guys working there more, because they know exactly how I like my Nescafe ais kurang manis, and how I love to DIY banjir my own roti kosong. I know the last line sounds rather obscene, but that’s the way it is 😀

Two ridiculously chewy roti kosong and one nescafe ais cost S$2.90. FA’s breakfast cost more, but then she had a mountain of bread and two eggs.

After breakfast, we walked down the road, past all the cool-looking backpackers’ hostels, caught the MRT to Raffles Place and met up with FA’s friend, EL. We had to stop en route to camwhore a bit…

Suanie listening to da man

It’s quite fun being a tourist ‘cos you can do all these silly stunts and get away with it.

Suanie at teh Merlion

From the Merlion Park, we walked to the Esplanade straight to Max Brenner‘s. Pinky took me there years ago, I’m glad it’s still around. I was glad the stuff was still as good. FA took some photos, I’m sure she’ll blog about it later.

We heard some gunshots, and being the KPC that we are, walked a bit to check out wtf was happening. Turned out that the peps were getting ready for their National Day celebration. From a distance we could see neat soldiers and navy type of people in full livery practicing their marching. A bit funny lah but I malas to elaborate now. Just something to do with the loudspeaker and all the echoing bla bla bla.

After that we walked to City Hall because the real tourist wanted to camwhore. Went into City Hall itself, there was a photography exhibition so we look see look see a bit. One of the photos on display was a guy next to a bus with his dick out in the open shooting piss. Nice.

On the way to the MRT, we walked past St Andrew’s Cathedral. It was quite awesome. There was a wedding going on so we didn’t go inside. I took a photo of the main steeple, and photoshopped it a bit. TBH I added the flare in using Photoshop, but the photo below was what I saw and felt when I stood there…

St Andrews Cathedral

Just that my camera and skills are not that pro to capture the moment, that’s all 😉
