SINGAPORE ROCKS MY SOCKS episode 2

Boom! We were all just about to head out for shoppinggggggg~!

Yuki and I

JoAnne And I
(I hope I spelt your name correctly, gurl)

Yes, we all had to take the bus. It’s more cost efficient than the cabs anyway. Well, perfect for sight-seeing all around town, no?

^_^

Josh the dreamboat and I

One place that’s hard to miss in Singapore is obviously the busy city area – Orchard Road. They have agazillion malls and outlets to eat and shop to one’s heart content.

It took me more than a day to achieve satisfaction of checking out the entire place – even so, I couldn’t finish the entire stretch!

There were throngs of people at every zebra crossing. It’s seriously so different in Malaysia whereby everyone crosses the road at their whims and fancy; no regards for safety or whatnot. But here, pedestrians ONLY cross at designated areas.

Their buildings come in all shapes and sizes and NAMES! ahahaha there was one which was called – Wheelock Place. I reckon it’s supposed to be a happy place; as apt as its name depicts.
Where people are to go WHEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~

Remember the pyramid which I took of the Heneiken bottles during my KL trip?
Well, this is a pyramid of the coke bottles.

Don’t you just wanna poke ONE (just ONE i promise) bottle and see what happens?

But before that, I’d prepare running shoes and a sack to hide in.

I dare you.
Thank me if your name comes out in the headlines at the very next day
^_^

What attracted us was this elderly painter by the street. His hands and i-have-no-idea-what-its-called-but-it-looks-like-charcoal thingy were deftly scouring the canvas and producing fine quality works of art.

I suddenly feel so inferior after watching his masterpiece in motion

Oh, and the lights dazzling Orchard Road are so pretty!
It kinda looks like rain, does it not? ^_^
All of these lights are sponsored by Hitachi f.y.i

Wheeee~
More lights!
Love em = camwhore!

Caught sight of a rather icky (but somehow I sense that it tastes awesome) looking gellato ice-cream. Assuming that this is my fave flavour – Cookies&Creme, I snapped a picture of it.

Does it somehow look like faeces?

YES?
Then wait till you see this :

POMMMMMMMMMM!
I apologize if you’ve just had your breakfast/lunch/dinner/supper!
It seriously resembles human excretions, your grand Number Two.

ANYWAY.

Without any specific mode of transport of our own, we obviously had to walk and walk and walk AND walk! Well, I’ll bet my bottom dollar that by the end of my Singapore trip, I’d probably lose 10KGs. *hints at God*

Yes, I was a weeee bit exhausted.
T_T

With no geographical talents whatsoever, we relied on each other as our GPS and walking maps.

And somehow made a flippin’ big round and ended up here again.
owells.

Our next outing was at Bugis! It was fun taking the skytrain there. Though a long journey, it was exciting nonetheless. So much to see and to people-watch ^_^

The signage and I
We’re here! wooooots!

I’m a sucker for button badges.
Always have and always will.

They have a wall dedicated to Converse fans!
*cheers loudly*

Oops. I’m sorry to all the Jim Carrey fans out there.
Mr. The Mask is mine!!! All mine!!
(see? He’s smiling too)
haha wtf

Ya know how cash can subconciously cascade from your wallets when you’re shopping here? Yeah well, it happened to me. T_T
Would somebody take pity on me please, instead of laughing??

Oh and I pimped my cybershot too!
*sigh* 40SGD gone just like that for making my bff pretty
T_T

Ven and I just outside the Bugis Street
Thirsty. Hungry. Tired.
what else but those?

Oh and, remember when I mentioned in Singapore Epidode One [here] that I found the names of certain food highly amusing? Well, check this out :

“Yes, one white spider for me please”
“and I’ll have Milo Godzilla too”

ROFL . It is beyond me as to how creative the F&B industry can aspire to be.

^_^

We had DimSum for dinner

And belive me, the following picture may look a tad disgusting to one’s eye but it’s Shangri-La to the tastebuds! Sometimes, meals never look as palatable asd it looks but it sure as hell tastes marvelous!

Toldya, doesn’t look anywhere near tantalizing, right?

On another night, we went out to catch the fireworks to usher the new year of 2009. Strange as it may sound but I’ve never ever been to the Esplanade before. Yeah sure, we have one in Penang but my foot nor so much as a strand of my hair has ever made its mark there before.

The beautiful church just around the corner of the Esplanade
I stood there, watching it.

Architechure in its glory of the night
Aesthetical values are priceless, so feast your eyes!

And before you know it, the year of 2009 has arrived!

Commemorating a wonderful day
^_^
The whole world celebrates together with us~!!!

And off we went to Clarke Quay, the acclaimed popular place for partying – by the huge river of Singapore! It wowed me as to how many clubs there were and the crowd was crazy.

But, I didn’t go into any of them.. clubs to me now are likened to work. The clubs are, to me a workplace back in Penang. T_T

So I’d rather sight-see thank you very much
^_^

No gurl can ever be tired of shopping hauls or shopping marathons or shopping sprees or GODLIKE SHOPPING! woots! However, the power of purchase can only be achieved with the power of dollar bills. I guess I’l just settle for window shopping for tonight

^_^

Wooooo! spotted : funny names galore!!

I guess it prolly made Mr. Bean happy to see his name massively printed on a signboard.

See? I made him proud!
^_^

But I’m even proudder to see this after the terrific experience in Singapore :

PENANGITES ROCKKKK
m/

AND THEY DO.
WHO’S ROCKIN WITH ME??
^_^

Singapore FTW too!!!!
