WOHOO. Holland Village rules.
It is sooo not like Singapore.
Anyway, I went to "work" and saw
a promoter there so I called Jen
and found out I'm not supposed to
work today. So I called lin up
and decided to go out with her.
So I bought this
"Anything too stupid to be said is sung"
shirt at Four Leaves.
Went to Bishan and walked to
lin's house.
Went with her to her poly
to pay for her Japanese course fees.
[I didn't want to go to the school at first
but on the way I decided to go Holland V]
So we asked around but nobody seems
to know how to go there.
Then we just went on this bus
and asked the driver.
He told us to cross the road.
And we took the same bus,
we guessed it was correct
since it said Holland Road.
The bus driver told us he will inform
us when we reach,
unfortunately, we saw this crowded place
and then "EHH, FOS FOS!"
Then we asked the driver and he
told us it was a stop before
and we had to cross the road
and take a bus back.
We couldn't find any way to cross the road
so we just walked backwards,
it's like.. further than from Bishan MRT
to lin's house.
But we managed to reach there alive.
Lin "Tanning under the hot sun"
The first stop we decided to go
was a magic shop, the shop
at the corner.
Lots of stuff inside.
I bought sweets, and more sweets.
And this dracula teeth that glows in the dark
and WORMS. Yah, edible.
Havn't seen that in a long time.
Then we went to another store nearby,
bought 6 star lollipops.
Walked in alot of pet shops.
I've never seen PUPPIES and KITTENS
that were soo small in size.
So cute.
Stopped by Burger King.
The service really sucks.
"What drinks do you have?"
The girl just turns and uses
hand to point.
Plus her eyes give some
whatever look. Urgh.
Then we walked into this bead
shop or something,
lots of DIY stuff inside.
"You can approach us if you
need any help."
This is enough to make a customer
want to buy something before leaving.
Anyway, I bought $9 worth of stuff there.
`connectors,
`hooks
`dead end hooks
`fisherman string
`earring stuff
Lin bought about $8+
`rings
`beads
`hooks
`dead end hooks.
I don't know their actual names.
Anyway I can't seem to find the
earring stand people were talking
about in forums.
The ones there are like $30 to $60+
Then we went to Factory Outlet Store
and we both fell in love with this
hood. White in colour, orange available.
Surf something. There's a word party there.
$14.90. We love.
Then we walked back to the Cold Storage
building and we took the lift up.
I screamed when it took off.
Super scary. We decided to go 4th floor
but it wasn't shopping area,
so I was quite I don't know what at that time
and took the lift to 3rd story.
It dropped a little.
We planned never to take the lift again.
So throughout the rest of the building,
we used stairs.
Alot of beads stuff there.
Bought 50grams of sequins for $2.50.
And when lin asked for the price of a bag
in one of the stores, the reply was
"Twenty something"
Yah like. Crap.
And other stores only seem to
ask "Do you need any help?"
to the Americans, etc.
Can't remember what other shops
were there.
Ate Katong Laksa.
The guy asked if we wanted Hum
and I said yes unknowingly.
By the time we went back he was
cooking the stuff,
but he allowed us to take them out.
So very kind. =))
Walked in to Watsons to ask
directions to Orchard.
On the way there we saw
Tanglin Mall and another building
beside it.
Ohhhh. I so want to go there.
My furthest discovery in Orchard
is Tanglin Shopping Centre,
where my mum use to work.
Muahaha.
We Marina Bay-ed home.
And we planned alot of places to go.
Singapore isn't as boring as it seems.
Places we want to go.
Not in order of preference.
`Holland Village
`Mandai Zoo
`Ikea & Queensway
`Little India
`Chinatown
`Sun Plaza
`Tampines Mall
`Tanglin Mall
`Centrepoint
`Airport
`Farrer Park
[old coffeeshop and Bah Ku Teh]
`Novena
[United Sq and Novena Sq]
`Beach road
`Parkway Parade
`Jurong [Ice skating]
`Newton Circus
`Ubin
Okay many more but I forgot.
Recommend me any nice place
you know of. Thank you.
At least no more boring Towning
for the next month or so.
We're so very much like tourists today.
So in total I spent $33.15
excluding transport.
But I'm a happy girl. xD
I need a bath. =x
Off for now.
