Touring the Marina (20080329), Holland Village & dinner @CCK

Siew Khee and I decided to visit the Merlion last weekend. But before that, I went to collect my freebie watches (Kenneth Cole and Timex) from Starhub outlet in Millenia Walk courtesy of POSB's MySavings Account (it's a forced-saving savings account for me). We met at Cityhall MRT and had lunch at Raffles City's Food Junction.

FYI, we were 2 smart gals without map to guide us to go to the Merlion!
Thank goodness we managed to get the last tourist map available at Raffles City's Information Counter. Armed with the precious map, we took the MRT towards Raffles Place MRT, walked towards Fullerton Hotel and then across to the Merlion :D

By the road side, next to Fullerton Hotel

Look at how strong the wind's blowing. We got kinda wet from the water :(

Across from Merlion's the Singapore Flyer and floating grandstand for F1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix come 28Sep08.

Me, trying to do a 'cute' look....think I failed to pull the look off :(

Since it was a sunny day and we were not in a hurry, Siew Khee and I relaxed with an ice blended drink from Starbucks outlet located at the underpass from Fullerton Hotel to Merlion.

After finishing our drinks, I suggested that we go for ice cream at Cold Rock in Holland Village. It was a 15 minutes long walk from Buona Vista MRT to Holland Village...but worth the effort.

Love my new jeans with my name embroidered ;)

That was not the end of the day for Siew Khee and I as we continued to do some shopping in Daiso @IMM, Jurong East. I was to meet up with Jodie, Johnny, Jessy and Jamie for dinner in Choa Chu Kang (CCK) and asked Siew Khee to join us. By the time we reached CCK Bus Interchange to meet them, it was already 8:10pm!

We took bus 172 (i think) to the 'dai chao' (Cantonese) place for honey-ed pork ribs, claypot fish and salted egg crab...yummy since we were all hungry!

After dinner we went back to CCK bus interchange and took bus#302 to Jodie and Johnny's place (in Yew Tee) for the night while Siew Khee took the MRT back to Bishan. The following morning I joined Jodie and her friend for breakfast before heading back to Tampines (via MRT to Khatib, bus #969 to Tampines bus interchange and finally bus #39 home).
