just came back from Singapore, spent the past whole week at my aunt's (my mum's younger sis) place in Hougang.
~18Nov Sun~
It's been 3 years since i last came to Singapore in 2004 due to me studying in KMPh, Kuantan & university. My family visits aunt every year.
reached aunt's place by noon, had lunch at a Yunnan Chinese restaurant in Nanyang Technology University's Alumni Club. All 9 of us went in dad's Innova. The campus is really beautiful! One of the dishes was one big coffee pork rib for each and everyone! Cool~
went godparent's place in Jurong. Goddad drove my sis Daphne & I back to Hougang in his new Nissan Cefiro.
Dad went home in the evening as he's going to KL for his SPM English paper markers meeting on next Tuesday.
Had dinner at a nearby hawker centre, ate seafood & pigtail! :)
Went for karaoke session after dinner, i ordered a mocktail - Blue Lagoon, nice :) Had fun!
~19Nov Mon~
Uncle drove 9 of us to Pasir Ris Costa Sands Resort in his company van. We 5 kids went to Wild Wild Wet water themepark. We were lucky as it was drizzling, so it's not hot & we wouldn't get dark :P Went on a very thrilling ride with Daphne, wow~
Had barbeque for dinner. Aunt's maid has very good cooking skills as she studied Hotel Management before. I love the chicken-wings the most :) There're many youngsters there, simply because it's also school holidays in Singapore now & Secondary4 students, like my cousin Dorothy, have just completed their GCE O-Level exams.
We played cards after dinner, found out that the maid was also very good at it! Luckily we didn't gamble :P
~20Nov Tue~
After breakfast, we had a walk to the seaside. On the way, we passed by Escape outdoor themepark, which i'd been here with Daphne & Dorothy in 2004. There's such a long queue at the entrance, we didn't plan to go there as it'd be time-wasting just on waiting. As it's near noon - hot, we didn't walk on the beach.
Went to Orchard Road by bus & MRT after lunch. i bought a necklace :)
Had dinner at a Japanese restaurant, both Daphne & I love Japanese food :)
As it's near X'mas, the nightview on Orchard Road was very beautiful!
Asean Summit was held near OR, the road was blocked for a while for various country leaders to drive through.
Watched the last few episodes of Hong Kong drama "Tong Sam Fong Bou". Wow~ HK dramas are my favourites, but ever since i left home to further my studies, i've not had much time to spend on watching TV :'(
~21Nov Wed~
Had lunch at a Singapore actor - Terrence Chow's HK HaHa Hotpot dimsum steamboat restaurant, nice! Too bad, the actor wasn't at the shop when we went :(
Had Taiwanese stuffed rice for tea:)
Bought a very nice & ladylike dress at This Fashion.
X'mas sale is on in the whole country!
Went to the newest shopping mall in Singapore in Clarke Quay.
Since it's drizzling, we only took a few pictures at the riverside.
~22Nov Thurs~
Watched a few episodes of HK drama Sui Yut Fong Wan, it's very interesting as my idol Jessica Hester Hsuan was one of the leading actresses :)
Went to Buddha Tooth Relic Temple at Chinatown, it's very grand! Learnt more about Siddharta Gautama as there's a museum about Buddha in the temple, about His life story.
~23Nov Fri~
watched a few episodes of Korean drama "Love Story at Harvard", very touching. The leading actress was a real beauty!
Had dinner at another Japanese restaurant at Singapore Revenue House. It's a very beautiful place with lotsa bamboos :P I loved the sashimi & salmon fish head soup!
Went on a free X'mas Light-up HIPPOtour for tourists on Orchard Road. It's a double-decker bus with open-air rooftop. Most of the tourists who boarded the same bus with us were Europeans. It's a spectacular view of the whole Orchard Road from the bus top. All the shopping malls had wonderful decorations acocding to the theme this year, "X'mas Fantasy", with Prince Noel & Princess Ballerina as the main characters.
~24Nov Sat~
came home by taxi. 'though it's tiring, we are very grateful to my aunt & her family for giving us a memorable & happy week :) i won't forget the nice food prepared by the maid :P i really hope that i've gained more weight & hoping to gain more during my stay at home for this 3-week holidays :)
