Been a week since I updated... fell sick right after the audition, but today I'm actually feeling OK, so I shall continue with Day 7.. which was a big day, that's why I've been putting it off ^^ it was a really enjoyable day though =) One of the best out of the 10!

From Singapore

Maybe it was because we managed to sleep in today, skip out on breakfast and went straight for lunch... the extra sleep plus extra time to digest food (we really really needed that actually), that the day started off really well~

From Singapore

At Waraku, where we had pasta~!

From Singapore

This was their soup... which I forgot by now what it was... leek? Chicken? Corn?

From Singapore

Carbonara~ think it was pretty good, though I didn't try much~ was too happy eating my own =D

From Singapore

My crab and salmon pasta in broth~ I was in a seafood-mood while in Singapore, so we had plenty of crabs =D

From Singapore

This is the display window for Curry King. We didn't actually go in, but it had such a cute window!

From Singapore

Next pit stop for food...

From Singapore

is Japanese dessert at Azabu Sabo!

Do you see the afro?

From Singapore

Yea, I know, what an ugly face. I wish I could have done better, but then it was melting, and it was one of those times when you try to hastily take photos so you can start eating as soon as possible...

From Singapore

Green tea syrup on shaved ice, soft serve ice cream with red bean~ yumm =P

It's kinda true that we don't have these kind of typical Japanese desserts in Sydney, or we do, but it's in Japanese restaurants where you have to order mains before desserts. There are quite a few Japanese dessert places in Singapore... maybe Sydney should open one.

Digressing from the main topic, I told tt if I don't get into Master, I'll open a Mos burger shop right in the middle of city. I think it's about time Mos burger came to Sydney... and I know quite a lot of people crave Mos Burger after coming back from a trip to Japan or Singapore... but too bad, no Mos Burger for Sydneysiders, because I got into Master =D Let's just wait... since we have a Yoshinoya and a Pepper Lunch already, it's only a matter of time before we get a Mos Burger chain going too~

We did something rather touristy next- and took a boat (ferry) across the river for some sight seeing~

From Singapore

From Singapore

Interesting sign on the boat..

From Singapore

This... is the Fullerton Hotel. The most high-class, 6-star hotel, which we visited for a meal on Day 9. More on that later~

From Singapore

Just look at those pillars! XD It's even nicer at night when it gets lit up.

From Singapore

The actual merlion which spews water~

From Singapore

Esplanade- Singapore's equivalent to Sydney's Opera House. Often compared with a Fly's Eye, or Durian. Have to say though, it doesn't look all that great from the outside, but the interior is wayyyy nicer than the opera house. It even has a library inside!

From Singapore

Then we saw this Extreme Swing mechanism nearby. It's a reverse bungee, where you get sprung up and bounced around, or the other one is like a pirate's ship, where you get swung from an extreme height down... looks fun doesn't it =D

After the boat ride, we visited a shopping centre, where we saw some cosplaying shops, and there was also a doll's display/shop.

From Singapore

From Singapore

From Singapore

They weren't exactly Volks dolls, and they're not from Japan, but apparently the quality is better than the ones in Japan, are more affordable and... just look at them, they are so pretty! We didn't buy a doll, but we did buy a dress and boots, because my brother already has a Volks doll (a Dollfie Saber one). Don't ask how much his doll costs, she probably costs more than your average girlfriend's yearly cost. Maybe not. Maybe half year's maintenance. =P

From Singapore

Then it was more food! Another box of mooncake from Stamford Hotel, this time, it's the green snowskin with the white chocolate truffle "yolk". We sat inside M's car eating it =D

From Singapore

Dinner time!! This has to be one of the best dinners ever, except for when we had crabs, but it's hard to compare... We didn't have it here of course, street food > food court!

From Singapore

Nearly there... it's just across the street...

From Singapore

Blurry picture, but you can see the guy turning... satay!

From Singapore

And the food arrives! =D I've never had these before, but they're so nice! There's this hard claw that sticks out and you're meant to use those toothpicks to pull the meat out.

From Singapore

The whole thing just springs out and you eat it, minus the hard claw bit.

From Singapore

Satay sticks galore!! Even though it's been so many days since I came back from Singapore, just looking at this makes me want to go back there and have another 20 sticks or so. It came with some rice in the form of a cake, some cucumbers, and because it's so heaty, we got Jia Jia herbal tea to go with it. Funny, I don't have any photos of the rice cakes...

From Singapore

We got stingray as well~ kinda weird, first time I ate one of these... quite boney actually.

Gosh, where's my photo of the rojak?! We had rojak too, which is a dish of diced up fruits, you tiao and cucumber with a black sauce made of shrimp paste and tamarind paste... it was so nice. We tried to find the exact kind in Sydney... failed badly =( No photo, sorry... must have been too happy eating...

From Singapore

We headed over to Chjimes next, this church building that has been transformed into... well, a restaurant/club.

From Singapore

Spiral staircase!

From Singapore

It was really nicely decorated inside, the courtyard had trees and flowers everywhere...

From Singapore

fountains...

I think we didn't do much here, stoned, relaxed, sat for a while soaking in the ambience and resting sore feet ^^'' It was only later that I realised there's a maid cafe in Chjimes, so we didn't visit it. We did try to visit one... but that's story for another day.
