Cristy has this exchange program with Japan Nursing students.. She is assigned to host Namie, our dear Kawaii friend.. She came to Ah Ma's house on saturday evening to have home-made dinner with us.. Since i'm supposed to meet HX at redhill market after his soccer, i asked them along to see Singapore's night life and our LOVE for EATING..
Took the 250(Taxi) to Redhill MRT because we do not want to be late.. Who knows, HX is later lor.. While waiting, we let her try Taiwan Bubble Tea - Honey Milk Tea w/ Pearls & Strawberry Ice-blend w/ Pearls.. Shiock ah! :D
Finally HX arrived then we walked over to Redhill Market.. We are really full but wanted her to try local food as we continue to eat & eat.. Food ordered: Fried Wanton, Black Fried Carrot Cake, Chicken & Mutton Satays and Sugarcane drinks..
Since it's still Chinese Ghost Festival, we wanted Namie to see Getai so I bought the Lianhe Wanbao to check on the location.. Location picked, Penjuru as the host is the funny lady from 881.. Took a cab and Taxi Uncle went round & round the Penjuru Estate but cant find the Getai.. So we decided to try the Penjuru Industrial Park.. To our surprise, the Getai was really held there and long queues of vehicles along the roadside just to see the Getai.. We didnt want to drop as it's dangerous to stay in the industrial till late so we asked the uncle to reroute to Jurong East MRT instead..
Took the MRT to Cristy's house to collect Namie's clothes so that they can stay over my place for one night.. Then we took Bus 66 to Bedok.. Along the way, we saw another Getai and a Pasar Malam (Night Market).. We quickly alighted at the bus stop and brought Namie to see what do Pasar Malam sell.. We bought a $10 Limited Edition Disney Princess Monopoly.. Since we are so near Bedok 85 Market (Famous Supper Hunt) so we took the 250 (Taxi again) to our destination..
1am on Sunday morning and after having dinner twice (6pm & 8pm).. We are going to eat again.. Haha! Namie is really amazed how much we can eat.. By the way, she eats alot too.. Hehe.. This time, we ordered: Bak Chor Mee (Namie's famoue dish), BBQ Stingray, BBQ Chicken Wings, Meat Porridge and Tang Yuan for dessert.. Wow.. We eat until we wanna puke le.. Cristy was forced to stuff the LAST tang yuan in.. Poor Cristy.. Tsk tsk.. :D
Reached home finally, we took turns to bathe and started playing Monopoly while waiting for our hair to dry.. (Only Cristy didnt wash her hair.. Yucks!) Play until cannot tahan then I surrendered and went to sleep..
Woke them up at 10am the next day and we have Malay food for breakfast (Eat again le..) This time we ordered: Plain Prata, Egg Prata, Nasi Lemak, Teh Tarik and Milo Dinosaur.. After breakfast, Daddy send us to Bugis Street to pray and bought Bak Kua for Namie.. She loves it.. Oishi, she exclaimed.. :D
Went Lau Par Sat for dinner on monday with the whole groups of exchange students from Japan, including Nanyang Poly's Lecturers (they thought i'm one of the student.. i look young le..) This time we ordered: Butter Crab, Assorted Tim Sum, Pui Tee, Chicken Rice, Ice Kacang, Chin Chow, Satay and fruits... After dinner, we strolled Esplanade to see Merlion, then to Glutton Street, Singapore Best View @ Swissotel (they were amazed and love the toilet more.. haha), lastly had cakes & ice-creams at Menotii (because it's 1/2 price after 9.30pm).. Yummy..
A super fun & crazy week for me and get to know lots of new friends.. Thank you Cristy! Hugs!
