Singapore Day 2


[1100hrs] Woke up to find that Mum had been out to the hawkers early to get us breakfast.

Oneh Oneh
Shui Kueh

Yew Char Kueh


[1200hrs] Went to the pool for a swim.

[1300hrs] Took the MRT to Orchard Road. The trip took 45 minutes. I love how they come up with new designs for the Orchard Road festive decorations each year. This year they've got a 'cute' theme with gorgeous bright coloured statues - I suppose you could call them elves.



[1420hrs] Lunch at Food Republic.

myself: Mixed Beef Noodle Soup - SD$4.80
delicious pieces of tripe and beef


Jocelyn: Pad Thai


we shared Ice Kachang with Jelly & Mango


[1500hrs] Went shopping for the next several hours at Wisma Atria.

[1920hrs] Dinner at Food Village in Takashimaya.

Laksa - SD$4.00


Jocelyn bought Popiah to take home


[2015hrs] We went to Cathay Cineleisure and decided to watch a movie. We saw "Four Christmases" starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn. Apparently, according to my trustworthy source Mr Noel Stewart, this movie is called 'Four Holidays' back in Australia. I think I have to agree with him...this world is going insanely politically correct.

While waiting for the movie to start, we went to check our email and there was a creepy Frankenstein model behind me. It was creepy.

In the toilets, the hand dryer had a little monitor set into it and it showed previews for the movies that are currently screening at the 24 hour cinema. How amazing is that!?

the movie ticket cost SD$7.50


I really enjoyed the movie - it was a good laugh. I don't think I've ever been to the movies with Jocelyn before. At least not just the two of us. There was one line in the movie in particular that really struck a chord with me.

"The one you fight with the most is the one you're most like".

[2300hrs] We took the MRT home after the movie.

[2345hrs] We stopped by the little group of food stalls that's open 24 hours a day to get supper.

Steamed Chicken Rice - SD$2.80
