Back From S'pore!

18 July 2005

Ah...just some quick jots about me trip to Singapore. No point going into a day-by-day here (I'm too lazy and it's not all that interesting). Spent every day since getting there (save me first and last day) at Orchard Road!

Science of Discworld 3: Darwin's Watch is out at Borders! Argh! $50.95!! Argh Argh! Starbucks' seasonal drink is Strawberries and Cream! Hmmm...is it their seasonal drink (for S'pore) for the month of July? Last year was S&C also wasn't it? McDonalds has a lovely dessert: Berrynice Yoghurt Crunch, yoghurt with blueberries and strawberries with nuts! Also, had tried this weird drink: iced Earl Grey with vanilla ice-cream. It just doesn't mix. Where? Crepes & Cream, at Citylink.

Paragon mall: whoa! A Nokia Vertu boutique! Fits the overall picture, seeing that Paragon's shops are very much for the upper-end social class. Fitness First Paragon! Went for BodyJam and BodyCombat. Methinks it's Julian's class which is popular there. Not as intensive as Calvin's, tho'. If not wrong all gyms in S'pore provides a bath towel and a face flannel when you sign in. How convenient.

Caught 2 movies, both at Shaw: Fantastic 4 and Sin City. Both good, but with Fantastic 4 the showdown felt rather short, with Sin City the setting was very noir (black and white, with monologues) and we wonders how Malaysian Censorship will shred the movie. Shaw's selling point (not their ticket prices) is the amount of food places about the cinema. There's even a Taco Bell! Sad to say the food quality of TB has long since dropped...

Internet cafes at Singapore costs a bomb! $1.50 for 15 minutes! One reason I did not blog there (the other was I didn't felt like lugging my laptop to S'pore).

Got me Nintendo DS! Costed me $330. After what with asking about most stalls at Lucky Plaza (hey, I bought my GBA Mario & Luigi RPG from there as well!) and even taking a cab to Sim Lim Square (S'pores version of our lovely Low Yat Plaza), I'd finally bombed for it (din't differ much from Sg Wang's quotes by then). Yummy. Fun. Now eyeing few DS titles (especially New Super Mario Bros and Mario & Luigi 2). Gods if it wasn't so expensive!

And now, we're back home...
