Singapore Trip with Cindy

I went to Singapore with Cindy!

One of my greatest highlights was: do you know Cindy can sleep within 2 seconds after she stopped talking? She snored too!

When we reached Singapore, Cindy, a Powerful Choleric immediately took action by looking through the MRT list on which station we should head next. Well, we got to the right station, alright, and once we were outside, Cindy spotted an uncle who sells ice cream block and without thinking twice she immediately bought one. Talk about babi.

No time to waste we immediately left for Ah Loon's ROV thing at Tampines (tamp-pin-ness as in the guy's stuff, and this smart Cindy said Tangerine instead of Tampines). We didn't know where the taxi stand is but as we walked we saw bus stands so might as well take the bus. You can see all the weird busses around, like this really long bus.

Yes, dear Cindy took bus ride!

We reached safely at the ROV centre and our dear Cindy got so excited hat she immediately took her camera (finally) and start snapping pictures like nobody's business and text Ah Loon with speed of light. Never in my life I've seen Cindy this excited before.

This is a mini ROV where students use it in swimming pool for fun. Yeah, expensive toy alright.

This person who talked to Cindy and I (I didn't exactly listen because I'm abit sleepy due to not enough sleep and I was busy snapping pictures), I can't remember his name but he's really patient and nice and brought us around the centre to show Cindy and I how the lessons are going to be like and what kind of insights students will get.

Right after that we head of to the infamous Orchard Road! Even the entrance to the Orchard Road MRT is nice, unlike our Pasar Seni LRT. I don't want to mention too much; afterall, I'm from Malaysia.

That's Tang with a huge poster of Eva Longoria pasted on the very Chinese Dynasty Ming or whatsoever building. I think that's the most unique building in Orchard Road. In fact most buildings at Orchard Road are high rise that Spiderman can still swing here and there. And the girls there are so dressy! Though the weather was hot, their makeup became thicker! Girls there are so hot that gays might turn straight.

We dropped by at Wisma Atria and grab some food. The food was wonderful! And these people are very generous with their prawns (if you don't convert your currency of course).

Can you see me within the atrium of the mall?

Look Mummy! L'Occitane!

And Geox! Too bad no such souveniers for you. That's why we took pictures instead.

Of course there are many interesting to see along the old streets of Singapore but too bad we didn't have much time.

One of the interesting places in Singapore is Chinatown!

Their Chinatown is so interesting, that someone actually wrote a poem about Chinatown and pasted on the walls of their MRT station.

Singapore Chinatown might not be as ever-so-bargaining like Chee Chiung Khai, but at least it's really clean and the people there consist of Chinese and are not rude.

Come on man, we have indians at Chee Chiung Khai scolding people like their grandparents owns the road.

Win a FREE ride in a police car just by shoplifting from that stall! Let's do it!

While Cindy went out with Ave, I finally have my one hour walk with myself and Hobart, of course, around Singapore! I wanted so much to see the lion with a tail thing and Esplanade! But the weather was so hot and I got lost for half an hour walking the wrong way. And it was so hot! My hands were burning like crazy and I had to carry so many things!

When I finally see something that looks like Esplanade, I got really excited!

Look! Finally! The Mer-Lion that pukes out water!

Esplanade was across the Singapore River, across the bridge, and I only have 15 minutes and it was so so so so so hot, so forget Esplanade. Probably for next time.

The sad thing about walking alone is no one will take pictures for you and I was looking around for someone to take pictures for me and everyone seemed distance so forget it.

But Hobart is lucky though. Hobart was in Singapore!

I rushed back to Republic Plaza where Cindy and Ave was there and I came across Ascott Raffles Place. i stopped to take a picture of their old grand entrance and the bellboy saw me and open the doors for me to take picture. So nice of them but I didn't get a good view... sorry bellboy-san.

This is Ave and Cindy! Ave works in Deutsche Bank in Singapore and originally from UK and has been helping Cindy with information of London. She is really sweet and an outgoing person. Cindy sure meet good people in her field.

The MRT station looks like this. Abit like Hong Kong don't you think?

This is the Fullerton Building which is attached to the Fullerton Hotel. It's like a huge massive palace, situated opposite the park where the mer-lion that pukes out water lies.

Because I got lost for 45 minutes and didn't even stop by to buy myself food and not forgetting the weather was so so so so hot, Cindy and I stopped by at Starbucks and she chia me eat potato salad!

We rushed to our final destination, Vivo City!

That's the Candy Empire! Gosh! I think we spent alot on chocs. Can't help it. It was tempting and cheap compare to KL price even after conversion.

Cindy brought me to Sky Park so that we can catch a glimpse of Sentosa Island. They're doing alot of upgrading it seems.

Well, stuff animals got excited so they took turn to take pictures!

Then tupit Gon started to think like godzilla and wanted to terrorize the people at the cable car but Cindy grabbed him and stuffed him in her bag. Haha!

I wonder if they put this at the KLCC park, will the people understand?

We head on to food republic to spend out leftover time in Singapore, trying to relax and enjoy the view of no tudongs (I'm racist).

Cindy and I shared alot of otak otak and ying yang drink each.

They used recycled door as decorations at Food Republic! Malaysians might burn the doors!

Shopping at Singaore is very different from KL. Singapore have great and unique taste that suits a designer like me. And the cloths there are quite cheap, too (if you don't convert). Imagine if you earn the same amount of money (don't convert), shopping in Singapore will be of great worth! Unlike in Malaysia. I feel cheated. Work hard but can't spend hard in Malaysia.

Cindy and I each got a watch for ourselves! And vain Cindy started modeling for her watch!

Sadly, we only left a pathetic 5 cents coin.

Our bus ride was waiting for us at Habour Front station and I was really sad to leave. Why you may ask? SO MANY HANDSOME GUYS AT SINGAPORE! WHEREVER I TURN I'LL SEE ONE! IT WAS SUCH BEAUTIFUL VIEWWWWWWWWWWWWW! I'm depressed.

While waiting in the bus with no one around, that's when people start doing crazy things, like taking out all the soft toys and start snapping away!

You know what's sad? The next day when I took the LRT to KLCC to meet up with Royce and Alan for a movie, when I turn left or right, I had a culture shock. NO HANDSOME GUYS AROUND!!

I shall stop here and sulk for our dear very-little-handsome-guys-Malaysia. Hobart said hi.
