Sing-gah-poh...
Four days did not feel like it was enough. Nope.
And throughout the trip I was basically like.. exhausted. Not enough sleep and a LOT of walking!
It was fun.. but somehow I kept forgetting to take pictures! Especially when I met up with friends and unknown relatives.. Uhh.. like oops? Sigh..
MANJEEEEETTTT... we forgot to take pictures!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, on the whole it was a rather enjoyable trip. Of course there were some problems. LIke there was the time where I couldn't find my way around the mall.. Like, I didn't even know whether I was in the right mall or not. Or whether or not both sides were actually part of the same mall, Parco Bugis Junction. Basically made a fool of myself stuttering trying to explain I'm a tourist.. who's lost.. DUH.
Like the time I went to meet Manjeet and Lin Ern. Where I was approached by some guy in a pink shirt(don't ask me why I'm so good at recognising ppl by what they WEAR.. and not how they LOOK like) for some promotion thing I believe. And there was just some awkward exchange between us because I thought he was asking too many questions. Considering that I was ALONE and I was LOST and I was a TOURIST and add a spice of paranoia in as well. Duh.. Like he was asking if I was a local or not, where I was from, how long I was going to be around. Eh.... a bit too many questions la. So then I was like "Okaay.. er... okay.. could you help me instead? Where's Parco Bugis Junction?"(Like, I was TOTALLY lost okaY!). And the guy's like... "Er... you're standing right in it..." "Oh... okay..."said I while looking around me in a totally "OH my goodness I'm so freaking lost" manner. I was meant to meet Manjeet at the top floor(of which building I also wasn't sure of) at the cinemas. But right next to me was the ticketing counter for the cinemas!!!!! O.o"
Apparently the ticketing counter's downstairs. Right. So, I phoned my friend.. Standing there in the heat starting to sweat after having power walked from mrt station cuz I thought I was late. Some more looking so frumpy(EEKS!), having an extremely bad hair day(sigh...) and trying to dial some complicated numbers BECAUSE I was on roaming. And I wasn't too sure how it worked so I mucked up the FIRST time. Then... the second time I just redialled the number.. but somehow the number changed and I ended up calling the WRONG number.. OH mannn.. waste my money.. and then FINALLY getting through to Manjeet and begging her to come save me. Meanwhile standing arount the area where the guy in pink shirt and his colleagues were running some promotion. Have a feeling guy in pink shirt was having a gala time with guy in white shirt laughing at me.. boohooooooo.. Either that or I was just being paranoid when it looked like they were pointing at me. heh...
And then there was that time on THursday.. Where I wanted to have a look around the MNG sale and my sister suggested I do it alone and the rest go off. So, I was fine with it.. I was in Ngee Ann City. Okaylaah.. I don't know a thing about the malls there la. Considering that was my first time walking through it. Didn't even have much time to learn the layout and stuff. And then when I was done I messaged my sis to ask where she was. And all she said was, Level 1, Estee Lauder counter. Okaay.. So with my resourcefulness.. I kinda followed my instinct and went into Takashimaya(which is pretty huge la). And then I started looking for the E.L. counter. Instead I duh duh went to Christian Dior(don't ask...-.-"). but then I realised my mistake then I went over to the E.L. counter.. walked ROUND the whole damn counter and my sis or anyone wasn't there!! DIEEEE>.. I thought I was in the wrong building... AGAIN!!!! makcik oII!!.. So, I did what I thought was best. Ask for help AGAIN. Haiyoh.. I bet you the girl behind the counter probably thought I was stupid or what la. I basically asked.. "Is there another Estee Lauder counter that's in the neighbouring building?". And basically had some confused banter trying to figure out if I was at the right place or not. Turns out my sister just walked off for a bit. Cheh!! Malu.. THen I was like stuttering like an idiot how I was a tourist and was lost. GAh gAH gah!!! THink the gurl a bit LCLY(lan si lan yong/stuck up) and just basically didn't bother. Sigh..
Anyway, met up with Jac and Stanley as well. Thank you very much for taking me out for dinner you 2!! I appreciate it a lot! Went to a nice place for dinner and dessert(don't know the name but it was in Raffles city). Ahh.. FINALLY!! I had some creme brulee!!! And it did NOT disappoint.. Ahh.. cravings slightly satiated. hehehehhee...
Also did a tad of shopping. Was a bit pricey for me due to the exchange rate.. BUT!!! I got like 3 tops and a cropped cardi from ZARA which was on sale. Also got an interesting top from MNG a.k.a. MANGO and a 3 quarter pants. Erm.. The thing is.. EVERYTHING I bought from ZARA... was some tone of purple/maroon!! Bleh.. Not that I wanted it that way okay. It was cause for the designs I wanted the only colours left in MY size were those colours. NO MORE purple for meeee!!!!
Got to see the merlion(at least la), Clarke quay, Esplanade and Orchard Road. Got a glimpse of Raffles Hotel and the area around Bugis. Also saw some parts of CHinatown. But I didn't get to explore much. Thank goodness for some friends there else I would not have seen most of these places.
Eat loads(as usual la.. holidays always make me HUNGRY!) and walked a lot(hopefully they both balanced out!) and well, it was all good la... as for pictures. You're just going to have to wait because I need to sleep so that I can wake up early to prepare for my New year's eve do. hehehehe.. As for now.. Good night and well, this has got to be the return of the Loooooooonnggg winded blogs.
