On leave today but had to go back office to ensure some urgent matters were settled.
Left for the airport and reached about 12:40pm. CX717 finally arrived........ hmm....most people are out but I still have not seen him.. did he get on the flight? Then, he appeared and straightaway, we recognised each other.
Went a cab ride to Hotel - Golden Landmark. After checking in, brough him out for lunch at Bugis. Walked around the shops and also the Kuan Yin Temple. Had Mee siam at QiJi. Then, off to Orchard Road to see the place, stopping over at Takashimaya and also Centrepoint.
Met up wth Gerald for dinner at Race Course Road. Had Samy's Curry Fishhead! Guess what, Ming does not eat Fish! Well, we had chicken and mutton as well.
Went to Clarke Quay to take a look at the place and then to Chinatown for dessert. So much for the day!
29 Nov (Saturday)
A busy day.......
Started with Merlion Park, showing him the Merlion, Ferris Wheel and also the Esplanade. Then, walked through Fullerton Hotel to Raffles Place MRT. Visit Far East Square before going over to Katong. Caught up with Wong & Tony and had laksa together. After lunch, stop over at Suntec, walked the underground shopping mall, brief stop at Raffles City Shopping Centre, before heading out to Toa Payoh.
Gerald has a road show at Toa Payoh. Showed him around the place (and he bought a stone bowl at Cash Converter!) before Gerald drove us (Terence joined us) for some sightseeing. Went to Guang Ming Shan to see the biggest temple in Singapore.
Dinner is the favourite steamboat at Katong. Albert, Alan and Tony came to join us. Dinner was great (as usual) and the company was fun! We wanted to have durian for desserts but when we got to Chinatown, they finished selling. What a pity! We then decided to stop at a pub for a drink.
Before turing in for the night, Gerald drove into Orchard Road to see the Christmas lights. The traffic jam was terrible, even after 11pm!
30 Nov (Sunday)
Bak Kut Teh breakfast to start the day! Too heavy, he said! Stopped over at Ya Kun for coffee/tea and kaya toast as well. Then, visited the flea market at China square and Ming (after considering over and over again) decided to buy a small antique electri fan. For S$30, not testing; for S$40 they owner will test for us. Well, he paid S$30.
One final stop before going back to hotel to pack. Visited Vivocity and showed him Sentosa. We stopped over at Daiso, the S$2 shop and he bought something interesting!
Back to the hotel, check out and went for lunch nearby. Had Hainanese chicken rice, chwee kueh and also fried carrot cake! So much for lunch!
Guess what? The electric fan does work! Hahahahahaha
Safe trip, Ming! Thanks for visiting Singapore!
