Trip to Singapore (Day 3)

Er... day 3 in Sg started out with a Ramen instant noodles breakfast at 8.30am... Ironically, being the THIRD among my sisters, I had to wake up EARLIER than the rest to prepare THEIR breakfast (what logic is this?) Anyway, I boiled water for the instant noodles, which include chicken flavour, kimchi flavour, curry and tomyam(?) and even help them make instant coffee!

my kimchi flavoured noodles...
After preparing everything, I looked at my watch and it was 10.30am! I was like OMG!! we were suppose to be out of the door by 9.30am! So I rushed my sisters out only to realise my watch was faster by half an hour while walking towards Bugis Station.

Sis: Is this some kind of joke??
Me: I seriously thought it was 10.30am *innocent face* laughs

The first stop was Orchard Road (take the EW12 Bugis to EW13 CityHall and change to NS22 Orchard) We ended up right below Wisma Atria and walked via underpass to Takashimaya/Ngee Ann City. I was looking for my Sephora Store LOL to buy Bare Essentuals' BareMinerals SPF 15 Touch Up Veil and a eyeliner brush. Sis bought a Sephora primer too.

Then we went to Pique Nique for delicious macarons & a rasberry cake for morning tea LOL!! The flavours we got are salty caramel, french choc, cheese choc, pistachio and chocolate mint. I like cheese choc the best... salty caramel is kinda sweet... pistachio has the weirdest taste (DO NOT RECOMMEND)

Hot chocolate with marshmallows

Walked around the mall and finally decided to have lunch at Crystal Jade Restaurant:

Yang Zhou Chao Fan

Double Boiled Chicken with White Fungus Soup
taufu with minced pork
The food was pretty good and we only paid SGD40 for 4 of us... nice deal too =)
After lunch, we continued shopping till around 3.30pm then headed to CityHall MRT station. We walked along the street from the station towards Sir Stamford Raffles Landing Site at Boat Quay.


Walked across the bridge to the other side of Boat Quay then to Merlion Park. Sadly, the Merlion was under construction/renovation for it's 40th birthday and will only be opened in September!
I was like what??!!!! So we came here for nothing? Luckily there was still the "baby" merlion for us to take pictures with LOL

ArtScience Museum and Marina Bay Sands



Didn't manage to walk all the way to the Esplanade aka The Durian because we were rushing to Chinatown as it was already 5.30pm... by the time we reached Chinatown, it was getting dark... we shopped around before having dinner at Chinatown Heritage Centre. Dinner cost about SGD42 (for a small piece of fried fish, 2 sticks of satay, a plate of mixed vege, four bowls of rice and 2 rainbow lime(drinks). Not really worth it I would say, next time better still eat chicken rice LOL




Bought many souvenirs(the keychains are from Chinatown!) and finally got back to our hotel at 10.30pm.
