Family’s Annual Trip – Day 2

On Day #2, the itinerary was supposed to be Jurong Bird Park in the morning, Chinatown and Bugis in the afternoon. However, we ended up spending more time in the Bird Park, shopping at Jurong Point and Harbour Front.

Instead of opting for the MRT or cab, I decided that we should try the SAEx bus service. SAEx stands for Singapore Attractions Express. It chauffeurs you to the major attractions in Singapore and has several pick-up points around the city. It is also inexpensive - $4 per adult to the Jurong Bird Park/Night Safari/Singapore Zoo.

Penguins! The room was super cold!

Beautiful flamingos

Spot the focus point! :p

Omg, a bird on the loose!

A very entertaining fowl show

Teatime at Prata Wala in Jurong Point. The prata tasted quite good. It was recommended by my landlady! According to her, this is the best in Singapore :p

After a one or two hour shopping at Jurong Point, we departed to Harbour Front, where Mom and CK shopped for CDs like crazy! We arrived at our hotel room at about 5PM and rested before departing for dinner.

That was the end of Day 2 and I had to return to my flat after that :(

Family’s Annual Trip – Day 1

This post is long overdue. It was a busy weekend, in which I had spent quality time with my family over here in Singapore.

Our family would usually plan for an annual trip during year-end. In the past years, we had travelled to Penang, Penang and Penang. I could not recall how many times we have chosen Penang as our annual vacation destination :p This time, I did not have to travel along with the family. I was to expect them at the Changi Airport!

At the arrival hall.. waited for at least one hour for the arrival of The Cha's and Mr. Low TH and family

At the lobby in YMCA

Dinner at Dhoby Ghaut's Kopitiam before departing to Orchard. Ling cha is nowhere to be seen as she was sitting next to me on the dining table :p

On the way to Orchard.. We need some introduction here! From the left: My cute brother, CK; Mom; Mr. Low and sister, Pei Yee; Mr. Low's sister, Siaw Chek and.. and.. and.. Ah Jie? Haha.

Orchard Central

And, we're done with Day 1 - Orchard Road walkabout!
I stayed at YMCA with my family for the night :-)

Weekend of Host and Hostess

What have been going on during the Christmas holidays?

The host received his family on Christmas eve. The host served his guests to the enchanting light-up and shopping galore at Orchard Road, the hawker-stalls-shopping at Chinatown, the enjoyable experience at Singapore Zoo, the magnificent Vivo City and the simply spectacular Songs of The Sea musical drama showcasing brilliant computer lasers and stunning fireworks at Sentosa.

The hostess would be expecting her family in less than 4 hours at Changi Airport!

A gift from heaven

I arrived at the train station at 7 plus this morning. The train was delayed for at least one hour the night before. Before that, I had to queue at both Woodlands and Johor Bahru checkpoints for almost 2 hours in total. It was the most tiring Singapore-KL trip I've experienced! Hence, I slept through most of the hours after reaching home.

Mom cooked yummy lunch for me. And for dinner, my family and I went to Susan's Bistro at Sg. Long for an advance Birthday dinner for ME! Susan's Bistro serves Italianese food. We ordered fish and chips, chicken cordon, salmon steak, pizza, carbonara pasta, etc. We were all stuffed and could hardly walk to the car.

I received a string of surprises from my family. Look! A cute handmade birthday card from my cute brother, a lovely ring from my Ma cha (I have been complaining that my ring doesn't fit me anymore, that it's getting looser and looser) and an mp3 walkman from both sisters.
