So hard to walk. Claustrophobics should reconsider their entrance into Bugis Street. It's like Petaling Street. Except their stuff have a little more quality. If you want to talk about sales, well, there wasn't anything great actually. I guess I was a little disappointed with Singapore this year. Last Christmas when I went there, the sales were HUGE. But this year, shopping wasn't all that fun anymore. Maybe that's because the exchange rate has increased, so everything costs a little more when you convert it back to Malaysian ringgit.
My aunt took us to Fish & Co. on Saturday for lunch. (There'a Fish & Co. outlet at One Utama, btw) If you're someone who enjoys western delicacies and fish, this is a place not to miss!
We had the seafood chowder, which consisted of carrots and scallops boiled to perfection. The texture was creamy and succulent, with a light sprinkle of parsley on top.
My aunt ordered fried calamari. It came with salad and chilli sauce. The calamaris were crispy and tasty. Within minutes, they were gone. My cousins are big eaters. >.< 
And then there was the house specialty - fish & chips with buttered lemon sauce! You can have a choice of chips or pan-fried yellow rice. Fork-lickin' good.Oh, and this is Cadence, my 4-year-old cousin who rambles on and on like a little bullet train. But she's so cute and adorable - you just have to love her :) Seriously, for her age, she speaks excellent English! And she's only entering kindergarten next year.
Once, her mother's friend was playing a game with her and she lost to Cadence. So the woman laughed and said, "Oh no! You cheated me!"But Cadence said, "I didn't cheat you. I tricked you."
I see huge potential in this little girl :)
Singaporean children are funny. They just get so excited over water and fountains.
At that exact same spot last year, I witnessed a bunch of little children playing there, naked.As for transportation, we went on the bus and MRT alot. I must say that it's very convenient, but it can be really boring if it becomes a daily routine. There are days when the busses and MRT trains are packed and you have to stand all the way. Imagine going through the same routine every single day. But that's life there. And Singaporeans are already so used to it.
That night, we went to my uncle's clubhouse because the adults wanted to go to the karaoke.
There was lots of chips and beer on the table, and they were singing to old Hokkien and chinese songs that only my grandmother would've known. Haha. Don't get me wrong - some Hokkien songs have a nice tune. But when my relatives sing, they put in so much of emotion into the song that it sounded like they were about to cry. They made the song seem so pitiful.
Blame the beer for that.I felt myself surrounded by a bunch of emotional adults. So I left and went downstairs to see what my cousins were doing. The kids were playing in the indoor playground, and the guys were playing cards. Chor Dai Dee. My all time favorite card game!! XD
There should be a manual on how to use a slide for kids who don't know XD
This is Yan Yan. She just turned 1 a few months ago. When I saw her, I kept going, "Wow!! She has so much hair now!" And the maid was like, "Please lah!! She was not botak okay!!"Oh, here's something for you. I managed to get a very unique souvenir in a form of a picture.
See the little boy in the white? Look at his eyes.Go on, tell me what you think. You can click to enlarge it.
PS: And I promise, I did not do anything to this picture.
