Woke up early in the morning at 4am on Sunday, was still feeling tired so reset the alarm to 5 am instead... Woke up and slowly prepared myself, felt my tummy ache at 5.30 when I'm about to leave... "Crap, I'm gonna be late..."
Left home at 5.45 and took LRT then changed to MRT, was only at Kranji at 6.30, our meeting time... Had to alight at Woodlands to take a cab to Bishan as we'll be late if we don't move off soon...
So what's the event so early in the morning? The New Paper Big Walk... Nope, I didn't do the walk but just welcome the participants and the guest of honour at the finish line...
And a short performance on stage...
When I first reached Marina Barrage, I immediately noticed how prominent the Singapore Flyer looked from this angle... This would surely make some picture perfect photos... Took a pretty good picture even when using a lousy camera phone... By the way, this place makes a very good dating spot as well...
Oh, and some of the new face girls were pretty cute...
The Singapore Flyer from Marina Barrage...
After which I went home to shower and wanted to get some sleep... While lying on bed, Kailing finally woke up and called me... Asked her to go out but she was supposed to go out with her colleagues, so I asked someone else out instead...
Went for cakes and drinks at Deluxe by Bakerzin which were very good... The best one was definitely Chocolate Amer, just thinking about it is making my mouth water...
After which we went to Rong Guang BBQ Seafood for dinner... Had Sambal Stingray, Sambal Kang Kong, Chili Crayfish and Fried Baby Squids which were quite nice...... When we asked for the bill, the waitress came back in a while and said its already been footed... We stared at each other's blank faces for a moment and told her we haven't paid a single cent yet... She went to check and came back the second time saying that we've already signed for it... This time, we stared at each other for a longer time than previously... I could sense that everyone was wondering should we just walk off or tell her the truth... Finally, the honest one said we definitely haven't paid, and the waitress asked us not to play with her... Haizz... Why would anyone want to pay their bill twice? On the third time, the waitress brought us the bill with a credit card receipt signed for it... This time, I seriously felt like just walking away but Ben went to pay for it...
Went home straight after that and found my brother was still at home when he was supposed to go back camp that day... He said he'll be leaving at 8.30pm and my brother-in-law will be sending him... I asked my brother-in-law if he is intending to go anywhere and I'll send him instead... Haha... First time I'm so nice to volunteer such tasks...
Was still thinking about the scene from the Marina Barrage so I called up Kailing to ask if she is free... Realised she had been at home the whole time thus told her to get ready by 8.30 and we're off... Went to Pasir Lebar Camp to drop my brother first then proceeded to feed the hungry pig...
Guess where is this?
She wanted "點心" so we went around looking for parking lots and finally settled down on the one at Lorong 8... Next we proceeded to the main objective of the night...
This was where the big mistake began... I turned right into PIE when I should had turned left into ECP while leaving Geylang... This caused me a big detour as I only remembered how close Marina Bay is after I was on the PIE for quite some time... Not knowing how far I had travelled, I felt it was safer to just reach Changi then switch over to ECP... This was not the end of it though, I have never drove to Marina Bay before and that caused some extra distance as well...
Finally reached Marina Barrage at 12.10am and was so proud of myself for being able to even reach the place... Happily took my camera and small little tripod and strolled towards it only to be stopped by Cisco personnel... Well, the place closes at 12... WTF!?!
Kailing recommended Woodlands, somewhere beside the causeway where the scene is very nice as well... Oh well, definitely not as good as Marina Barrage but no harm going anyway...
Not much of a scenery...
This place is supposed to be a lot more pretty when the lights are up... Its a Sunday night/Monday morning so I was really out of luck...
And that ended the night where we travelled from the extreme West to the extreme East then South and finally the Northern ends of Singapore... Good thing fuel prices had dropped... -_-"
