Look at what we found in Singapore!

First, a little summary.

Ryu and I did the usual rounds around Orchard Road, Douby Ghaut and Chinatown. We did a lot of walking and took MRTs many more times than we ever took the bus service back in Kuching.

I have to agree with the consensus, food wise, good food in Singapore is hard to find, compared to Malaysia (or Kuching). But hey, have you ever heard of kolo mee with abalone for 8SGD?

Singapore does live up to it’s name for having the most lighted up esplanade in the South East Asia neighbourhood. I found myself comparing back to our little Padungan street back in Kuching, except Orchard Road has much wider walk paths, much more people, has humongous plazas and shopping malls instead of small cafes, and a much livelier (and safer) atmosphere.

Christmas tree at Paragon. There was another one in Ngee Ann, and many countless others here and there.

Must not forget about the rotating donut.

Though I pity those Ang Mohs getting ripped off here and there along Orchard Road.
We went around visiting hobby stores as well, and the trip brought us to Chinatown. Some random shots below:

Suffice to say, won’t be making a trip to Sentosa. Our schedule is packed, and we’ll be heading to certain places tomorrow.

While we were on our search, we stumbled across many interesting things. One of them is the BAKUC display at Ngee Ann.

More pictures for you Kuching guys later when we reach home. We headed to Sunshine Plaza after getting directions courtesy of Fung Yun. KKnM raiding time! I’ve spotted something that I’m interested to get.

Two of the shops were not open, but it did not stop one of them from displaying patung-patung yang melampaukan. Too bad my camera shot turned up blurred.

We left Sunshine Plaza and took the wrong street up Middle Road. Interestingly, we found something even more interesting.

Tamiya modelling competition? This seems to be a separate event from AFA, as we noticed that some of the talks will be given on Saturday. You guys who are interested can check out the place by yourself, and hope that we’ll get to see the stuff below in AFA as well. Oh by the way, I spot Hobbylink Japan!

Ryu had to leave as he had plans to have dinner with his sister. I continued alone along Orchard Road, and I really enjoyed the walk with the pretty lights and Christmas decorations. I also had the opportunity to explore the rest of the shopping malls around Orchard Road that we did not explore in the morning.
