Trip to Singapore (Day 4)

Okay, sorry for the delay to update my forth day in Sg. *Paiseh*

In the morning we decided to stop by Chinatown because apparently we didn't get enough souvenirs for everybody =.= so ya, we just took the MRT to Chinatown and stayed there for like what... 5 minutes(?) then rush back on the MRT for Orchard because we wanted to get mashmallows from Pique Nique (passion fruit and strawberry) because I thought, YES I THOUGHT they would tastelike the marshmallows I bought from Strassbourg, France the other day since Pique Nique is suppose to have French origin (?)

Sadly, they DON'T, I was devastated 0________________0

Anyways, we bought SGD60 worth of marshmallows (which is A LOT) and continue shopping... then we went to find the place where there have DELICIOUS strawberry shortcake which I failed to find on the second day.. and it was located in

PARAGON, not ION ORCHARD...

that's like opoosite each other if you don't know... I was so stupid =.=... thank goodness for my sister Zoey who brought the list of places I wanted to visit (to eat =D) and


VUALA... the address says Canele Patisserie Chocolaterie, PARAGON



YUM YUM YUM! The strawberry shortcake was GOOD THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD.


So we order 2 strawberry shortcake, one New York cheese cake and one Citron tarte. The Citron Tarte (lemon cheese cake in layman terms) tasted like what my mom makes.. it's still good though, the New York Cheese Cake was overwelming... I am not really a "cheesy" kind of person so yea.. thank God four of us shared one. But the strawberry shortcake (their best seller by the way) was really light and I don't know... it's the kind of cake you wont get bored of eating! 

Marina Bay Sands

After our Cake Fiesta... we head over to Marina Bay Sands.... where the newest (?) casino is located (but I don't gamble nor am I legally allowed to go in, they have age restriction ya know~) We were suppose to visit Garden by the Bay which are like their newest attraction or something (I think it's an eco friendly garden thingy(?))



Anyway, we decided to check out the Art Science Musuem first because that's where the HARRY POTTER EXHIBITION IS!!! I MEAN IT'S HARRY POTTER, THE HARRY POTTER (fan girl screaming~)!!!!!!!!! Went to check out the price since it was our last day we weren't sure if we had enought to check out the exhibition... but YES, we DO... the ticket was on sale for SGD24 for TWO exhibitions, The Harry Potter Exhibition and Andy Warhol's 15 Minutes Eternal Exhibition... so yay!! 2 in 1 =)

By the way, they were having some sort of promotion (maybe collab with Coca Cola(?)) where they give each person with the ticket 6 cans of Coke, SIX CANS!!! I mean... who could ever drink that much??? So with four of us, you do the math.

6 x 4 = 24

We has 24 cans of coke... just so you know 24 cans = 1 box/crate/tray (whatever you call it)

12 cans of coke from the HP exhibition

So there we are, each holding souvenirs + 6 cans of coke... I though my arm would break.
The exhibition was kind of cool, you get to see Harry and his mates outfits and wands and spell books etc... We even get to try our hand on Quidditch and pulling out the Mandrakes... Oh yea... I got to be one of the three to try out the sorting hat too!!!! XDDDD and guesss where I was placed?? GRYFFINDOR!! The best part was knowing my head has actually touched (indirectly through the hat) the head of Mr. Potter and his comrades!! XD

*it is believed that the sorting hat is really REALLY REALLY the original from the movie.. I am so LUCKY XD*

So after the tour we got our hands on two packs of all flavour jelly beans... I seriously hope they don't REALLY taste like VOMIT or DIRT...


Then we rushed into the Andy Warhol exhibition... was really just browsing through since we needed to rush to the airport before peak hour (5pm) so we had to get out of the exhibition around 4pm and rush back to the hotel for our luggage then grab a cab...

We finally bid farewell to Singapore at 8.45pm and HELLO MALAYSIA!
