~Shopping in Singapore~

I'm just back from a 3days 2 night shopping trip to Singapore with my mum..Fun?yeah...lots different thing we had done..as usual,will go step by step about our trip..(how boring of me..)

We arrived on Saturday morning after a super stupid ride..ever heard of "san gu lok po" (cantoneses)?i didn't actually know why this word was used to described Obasan until that "joyful" ride..Lucky us,my mum and i got to sit in front of a pair of obasan who chatted non stop,note NON STOP during our 6 hoursride to the Lion City..imagine that..and it was a midnght bus where everyone is trying to get some sleep cuz normal ppl's biological clock will automatically make them do so by that time..however,this 2 AUNTY's clock must have gone haywire or something..how can they chat non stop and without whispering too,for 5 hours?sleep oni for 1 hour ler!!omg...and the driver said we'll stop only for half an hour AUNTY,half and hour..not 1 hour!!arrghh...and they dare scold a guy next to me say his air-con blowing their diretion,.scolding him inconsiderate..what about them distrupting other ppl's sleep?goodness..simple things like that oso dunno...arrghh..even my mum can't stand them..

Well,we arrived at my relatives house at Guillemard Road,its' adjacent to Geylang Street so err....actually i can see the "gals" standng just 2 floors below,under the colourful neon lights..in the other wise dark narrow streets...I was first greeted by the barking dos and was really startled cuz,i'm AFRAID of dogs...especially barking ones..though they are super cute,but..that's about it..my relatives are super super nice ppl..and i felt really bad for arriving at their door in the wee hours of the morning..at5am..the rest of the morning was spent sleeping and then a short visit to Suntec City..dropped by my 27year old Uncle in his super cool car..I really admire him,at the age of 27,he has travelled to France,learning a year of French and next year,around the time when i'll leave for Japan..he'll go there too..to do farming kana...really salute him.He said he wanna gain more experience and exposure before tying the knot..mind you,he doesn't at all,looked like someone in his late twenties..respec giler in a sence that he actually take the effort to plan his trips wel,learn the language he plans to visit an have no airs though his parents are filthy rich...and pretty sociable i would say..

Where was i?oh yeah,Suntec city is a super posh shopping mall with 8,i think,towers..i missed the water front which,according to the leaflet says that it was recorded in the Guiness Book of World Records..for what?i forgotten..hehe..anyway,it was realy posh and the decor was unque and futuristic,so it is..as everyone can imagine,the ultimate shopping mall for high class or brand seeking ppl..not for nrmal peasants lke us..so off i go draggin mum to Chinatown..the same thing happened like last year when i visited this place,it was drizzling..it really dampens our mood to walk aoround avoiding the pitter-pattering of the ran but we braved it on..for the sake of shopping,being there and buying stuff..mum got quite a lot of things..haha..then went to this Plaza..and we tred this tu-tu cakes..it was nice!!i found it quite interesting at the way the lady made it so i bought it for the sake of its uniqueness and it was sweet and nice..not really filling but just..nice..haha..next we travelled to Little India,having to miss it last year..the funny thing is that when we took the transits and MRTs,we were figuring out why on earth does the Singapore Government wud like to waste the card-lke tickets in the bin?knowing that everything here is so efficient and systematic..cuz i have the EZ-Link card so i just topped it up whereas mum had to buy all the single trip tix..so we were figuring what to do with the tix wen mum threw 2 of it in the bin.. the next trip to Little India,after reading the instruction on the card only we knew we can get back a deposit of $1 when we insert back the card/tickets to the machine.."so that's why the trips were so expensive!!"we were crying out loud..silly us...wasted $2ler,sakit hati...anyway,mum got tired of walking so we went back in a cab..the thing wsted was,we only walked,a super market in Little India and we thought that was t!!silly us..on the way back in the cab,only we saw...the whole colourful row of "India",just like Chinatown..sigh sigh..waste our time went there without walking down..

THe thing about this trip is that,unlike last year,i'm going in a slower and more relaxed pace..though we visited oni mostly malls..there are lotsa and lotsa malls n Singapore,especially in Orchard Road..i've slowed down quite a lot of times so that mum can catch up and we went to lotsa shops with Aunty Mary who generously paid for every single clothing we bought...felt o bad that i din get the super nice jacket...felt bad mar,dun want her to pay so i said i dun want it..now regret...sigh sigh..i meant,dahlar saty at ppl's place..no point used so much of their money lar..still everone of us,including my sis and bro who is Malaysia,got at least some clothing..Singapore's food is getting better but my mum still said it's not nice..i dunno why..to me it tastes just fine..we feasted in luxurius restaurants though it doesn't really seems worth it cuz...its just plain Chinese food,with less oil and salt only..sigh..then,we spent most of the tme walking and strolling in Malls..the whole Sunday..not much to say lo...

WE made it back just now,taking the 12pm bus..i got to know this Canadian guy..thought mum kept on looking disapproving of him..she thought he was from Korea,fair and all but my huntch was right when he tol me he's from Canada..i again,respect this kinda ppl,dare to travel alone in a foreign country..i wanted to try that too but mum would never approve..bias?more of protecting me i suppose..wait til i get a boyfriend she likes to say,or travel at least in pairs..but then,we won't be able to expereince more and intereact with others no?wait til i'm in Japan...anway,i hope that gy an find his way to KLIA,cuz i think i gave him the wrong instructions,though i went the wrong way as well...sigh...i thought the LRT can join to KL Sentral mar.....how i know the one in Puduraya cannot?sorry man,sorry..
