Ambivalent Singapore

Well.... my 5-day trip to Singapore has ended and it left me in ambivalence. The city itself amazed me and at the same time disappointed me. Without further ado, I shall start from Day One.

(Today I found out how to post mutiple pictures in a post using photobucket.com. YEAH!)

Day One
Reached Woodlands @ 1950 hours. The 10-hour-ride on the freakin' bus was no joyride. I thought I'd die during the ride. It was an ordeal. There was a guy that yakked on his cell throughout the entire journey. Did not want to think about the ride back home. Seeing him was exhilarating. Yeah...
Stopped at too-tired-to-remember-mall and had a satisfying pig innards soup. Yummy. Went straight home @ Compassvale. Snuggled up happily under the covers.
Day Two
Woke up @ 0900 hours to go to Singapore Zoo. Breakfast @ Famous Yakun @ Compass Point (?). Too sleepy to take pics...

Took many pictures, of course and realised most were of monkeys. **giggles**

Shiraz named this guy Cock Nose.

And these are Wanky ( er... the Senior & the Junior?) After taking the shot, Wanky Jr played with his you-know-what. Ewww....

cute ducklings

**Photobucket is a bit a pain in my ass right now... so I think the pics are enough for now.

Watched half of the Animal Friends Show and managed to tape it with my handycam before the battery died on me. Brandy & Major, the dogs, were amazing!! Watched half (again) of Wonders of the World Show. Had late lunch @ KFC. Feet starting to hurt. >_<

Left the Zoo and off we went to the Chinatown.

Souvenirs were aplenty there. Bought lotsa stuff. Dinner @ ....... I forgot. Oh my, what did I have for dinner!?

Day Three

Woke up @ nearly noon. Yesterday was darn tiring. Argh... it hurt to walk. Went to Chinese Garden. He was told there was a wax house. Found out that it was closed for like 3-5 years already. -_- Feet damn hurt. Bought a pair of Bata Slippers. Yeah. Was pretty bitchy about it. Sulked for almost half of the day. Wandered around Bugis Street. COULD NOT WALK ANYMORE. Ended up buying groceries in Cold Storage and cooked dinner for him and the landlords.

Day Four

He had to go to work. Got the whole day for myself before meeting Yong in the evening. Shit... woke up with fever. Brushed teeth and had some dried apricots before dozing off. Woke up @ 1600 hours and fever has gone down but still felt a bit wonky.

Met Yong @ Orchard Road, 1800 hours. Shopping haven! o.O A treat from Yong @ DeliFrance. Yours truly forgot to charge her handycam... only managed to snap one shot. Feet still hurt! Argh!

DAY FOUR

Also had the whole morning to myself. Nursed my poor aching feet. Meeting forum friends today in the evening. It was Jan's birthday-cum-Rae's in Spore gathering. Was damn late. The other half got held up at work. Killed time wandering in Takashimaya. Feet still ached like hell... Bought another pair of sandals @ m)phosis. Ah... relieved. Got lost in Takashimaya. **shamed**

DAY FIVE

Woke up @ whopping 1600hours. Time to go home. Haven't buy the bus ticket. HE was SUPPOSED to buy it yesterday. Anyway, had dinner @ Wasabi. Big portion. Dirt cheap. Reached @ the bus station @ 2030 hours and bought ticket for 2100 hours ride. Shuddered @ the thought of the ordeal again. The person sitting next to moi had no courtesy to use his freakin' earphone while listening his chinese techno.

Vowed not to take bus to Singapore again.

Phew~ What a long post!
