Meeting after 6pm? Unable....had to go to the airport to welcome Stephen, arriving from Hong Kong. Raymond was kind enough to go with me. Arrived at Terminal 3 about 7pm (early) and decided to have something to eat at the arrival hall. Ordered a bowl of curry chicken at Killiney Kopitiam (freezer chicken).
Stephen was surprised and glad when he saw Raymond. He did not expect Raymond would come to the airport!
After some discussion, decided to go to Bugis for dinner. Went to the Fish restaurant ....was still crowded when we got there but managed to find seat. After a few bowls of soup noodle and fried chicken wings, we called it a night.

The morning started with heavy downpour. By the late morning, it started to clear up. It's Sentosa Day and we made our way by bus to Vivocity to catch the monorail (S$3 ride) across to Sentosa.
The waterfront station was an interesting place to start with. That's where the resorts, casino and Universal Studio were. We also went over to the beach to take a look. We got to try the sky ride and also the famous LUGE. It was really exciting!
Met up with Raymond at Chinatown for dinner. Went to the food court and had Fried Kway Teow, Chui Kway and satay. Obviously those were not enough and we moved to the restaurant opposite Central@ClarkeQuay for Bak Kut Teh. By the end of the meal, Stephen was too full for words but Raymond was only 3/4 full......

Had to work today. Unable take the day off...only 3 of us answering the hot line....very busy day. Derrick has been very kind to show Stephen around. Stephen came over top the office to drop off his backpack. Derrick and Albert came over to have lunch. Went to the Japanese restaurant opp the office. The rest of the afternoon.....(Derrick brought him to Bugis for desserts at Ah Chew, to see the Merlion and finally to Marina Bay Sands ...casino).
Met up with Stephen after work and we headed out to Grand Mercure Roxy for our 2N stay. Surprisingly, the room was rather spacious and cosy.
We then proceeded to Jang Shou Korean BBQ at Katong Village (just behind the hotel) where Gerald, Jay and Sam were alredy there waiting. Being a Friday night, it was quite busy with lost of patrons. The spread was very good and everyone was busy eating and eating away!. Lots of meats!
After dinner, we decided to try the Awfully Chocolate shop nearby. We managed to squeeze a treat out of Raymond. Ended up with a pint of chocolate ice cream, 1 slice of the Super stacked Chocolate cake and 1 slice of the White Chocolate Butterscotch block . I actually asked 'What flavour (ice cream) do you have' and the sales lady looked at me and said : Chocolate! ... but Of course!
The slices were good and the ice cream was awesome! The chocolate ice cream was AWFULLY GOOD!

Went over to Marine Parade for a look- see and breakfast (at the American Embassy) and then to Parkway Parade before going over to East Coast Park.
A short walk along the beach and soon we arrived at the Seafood International Market & Restaurant for lunch. Wong, Tony, Raymond, Sam, Alan and Derrick came to have lunch with us. The ala-carte buffet spread was quite good and we certainly had more than enough!
By the time we finished lunch, we was already after 2pm! As usual, a meal is not complete without dessert and we decided to go over to Awfully Chocolate shop again......and.......on Raymond! Everyone enjoyed the chocolate ice cream - AWFULLY DELICIOUS!
We went back to the hotel to rest and even by dinner time, we were too full to eat! Went for a stroll along East Coast road and also to Parkway Parade again. Had some light snacks before we went back to the hotel.
