Singapore Sale!

Me and Jen made a trip down to Singapore last weekend for a short vacation away from KL. We boarded a morning KL-SIN Aeroline coach and arrived at Habourfront Centre approximately five hours later. Since we still have some time, we decided to take the MRT to EW13 City Hall and walked to Cathay Photo in Peninsula Plaza to get my Lowepro Rolling CompuTrekker AW. Next, we took the train back to NS24 Dhoby Ghaut and switched to NE6 and headed for Kovan.

We stayed at One Florence Close, a couple of minutes walk from Kovan MRT station. After resting for a few hours, we took the MRT to Orchard Road. The S'pore sale started on the 25th May. People crowding the streets that night as major stores and malls in Orchard Road extended their opening hours until midnight; 10%, 30%, 50% and 70% discount signs cannot be missed. Before headin' back to OFC, we bought some burgers from Burger King.. and Dang! one of the best bite i ever had.. turkey bacon double cheeseburgers.. i mean - weird as they dont have these on the M'sian menu. Delicious!!

The next morning me and jen have fish ball noodles near our place for breakfast. It was quite good; and we headed to town earlier thinking we would have more time to shop. *sigh almost 90% of the outlets were still close. Hence, we have to wait till about noon. Well, we met up with Wong at Shaw House in the evening. Also met Christine working in Salvatore Ferragamo outlet before we headed for dinner at Pepper Lunch. Hmm, great food. I had 2 salmons... yumm my favourite. Next we decided to go to Bugis and check out Bugis Junction and Bugis Street. There was nothing much in Bugis, hehe so next! Raffles!!

Pepper Lunch... yummm

We took the train down to NS26 Raffles Place. Took some pictures beside the UOB buildings and walked down Battery Road and made our way to The Fullerton, along the Singapore River. We took some pictures on the Anderson Bridge too, overlooking the night view of Fullerton. Beautiful! Next we walked along the Queen Elizabeth Walk and took more pictures. You can have a good view of Esplanade - Theatres On The Bay. We managed to also witness a firework display happening down the road at the field of the Singapore Recretional Park, near the City Hall and the Supreme Court. Hm, obviously three of us were very tired at the end of the day, BUT that didnt stop us from droppin-by Orchard Road again for more shopping.

Us again with Esplanade


HOHO! GRAB IT ALL! After spending those vast amount of energy, we sort of needed some fuel, so we went to have MOS Burger!! They should have these kinda food in KL!! *sigh.... Oh, and somebody got hit on the head! pain pain* aww poor thing...*rub rub* After that, couldnt resist to drop-in at Burger King AGAIN to buy the delicious turkey bacon cheese burgers. Yummm... headed back to OFC; I bought 2 fresh coconuts from the shop opposite OFC for me and sweeti; the uncle was very nice and friendly. Me, Jen and Wong had small chats and biting down our burgers at the porch of OFC. When we were done, we went back to our rooms and knockout in bed after that.

Next morning after checkin-out from OFC, we went for fish ball noodle breakfast again before heading to town.

Me and Jen went back to Pepper Lunch again for lunch on the last day before heading to Habourfront. Although we have only an hour or more, we didnt waste 'em and continue shopping at VivoCity. We both bought some stuffs to a point where we thought we didnt have anymore dollars, so I used my credit card instead. LOL! Met up with Wong again in Vivo at the final minute.. just before we boarded our bus. Wong's bus was at a later time. Arrived in KL at about eleven something at night. Dead tired. Sweeti insisted that she wants to drop me home eventhough it was not convenient. XOXO =) thanks..

It was a great trip, though there are still many places that we did not managed to go. For example, Singapore Zoo, Sentosa Island, Clark Quay, Marina Bay, St. James Power Station, Ministry of Sound, night spots, and etc. Hope to go down again soon as i am still having the EZ-link cards - this time for sight seeing.

Smile =)
