It took a while but here comes my Singapore Trip; Day 3.
Day 3. Daytime.
as planned, we went .. SHOPPING!!
We went to Takashimaya at Orchard first to visit Kinokuniya bookstore.
It's the best bookstore, ever!
That was where all my money went. (the previous night, after USS, we also went to the Kinokuniya branch in Bugis Junction. bought my books there too xD)
We spent almost two hours kali dsana.because by the time we were done and making our way to our next destination; Plaza Singaoura, we were starving.
We went straight to KFC to have our lunch when we got there. (no picture) for the first time in a long time, nyaman bah KFC ah. and the fact that we were getting tired of mcD must helped too.
After makan, then we went our way to continue ..SHOPPING!
there are a lot of kadai there. and when I said 'a lot of kadai' I meant kadai that we all have our stuff-to-buy at. Anime (Bazilah and her nephew spent almost an hour in one kadai alone. they're the biggest fanatic of Anime among us four), Kpop, random gadgets, etc. Even Smiggle's store is there too. I think I didn't go in there though. I think lah! hahah I'm nuts about that kadai, so I am not so sure.
My most wanted things there was actually to find Luna's Saving Grandma GoBongshil drama series but the only DVD/Music store there didn't have it. *sadness*
So, I have to compensate into buying things that was not in my things-to-buy list.
Example;
PowerBank (it's SHINee color btw xP)
and
PopToy thingy; Olaf and Groot.
I bought other stuff too, like, that discounted wire clipper thingy at Comics Connections . (its original price was $5.90 but when I went to the counter, the sales lady only ask for $1. like, HOW AWESOME IS THEIR DISCOUNT!?) but that was about the only stuff i bought at the Kpop/Anime store.
I found Danbo saving bank at an Anime store (I don't know the name of the store but it was along side the Otaku Store. like, there were three, or was it four, stores of Anime side by side on that floor). I didn't buy though. and how I regret it now? -.- I should've just bali then. *nangis* (ada plang di eBay msani. the one in Singapore was a lot cheaper. So, I'm still contemplating)
We went our separate ways, so that we can spread our time there. I even ventured out the entire place looking for a store (according to Plaza Singapura online guidance) that as it turned out, no longer exist. macam, naleh saja ku. -.-
After everyone, except Zawir who still havent found the book he was looking for, got what they want/need. we decided to went back to the hotel to drop off our stuff before we continue to jalan2 at Marina Bay.
Day 3. Nighttime.
At 7pm, we left our hotel and was on our way to Marina Bay.
It was actually upon Bazilah's nephew request that we decided to squeeze in the sight-seeing in our schedule. (he really wanted to take picture at the Merlion statue).
Us with Merlion. the best I could captured from my 'selca' camera.
-.-
Apple need to do something about our front cam a.s.a.p.
it was a good thing too. took lots of pictures. making use of my I'm-a-tourist card.
we even got the chance to watch the water/light/spectacular performances happening at the harbour, thingy. by accident. LOL pasal we were leaving and the thing started.
we saw the place where we witnessed the SMTown Concert two years ago. It was, of course, empty.
After that Zawir wanted to go to this mall right above the City Hall MRT station to look for a bookstore. and the rest of us went our separate ways again. I found Mark&Spencer and bought biscuits there.After that, random shopping again. xD *happiness*
Before we balik to our hotel, we searched high and low for a KFC but, like that guidance website of Plaza Singapura, there was actually no KFC in that shopping mall. of maybe ada but tukar location sudah and inda kana update arah website atu.
So, we rushed back to Bugis Junction, since di sana ada KFC (we only just found out. we were making full use of our singapore line a little too late, I'm afraid. LOL). we came in like aher berabis. they were about to shut down already. even the sales person was being impolite (obviously eager to close down and get rid of us) and we manage to scrap what we can. Ended up, we have to stop by McD jua to buy some extra food since McD saja yg tutup aher.
and when we got back to the hotel, we were, again, tired but we had dinner and then quickly packed our luggage coz the next morning we had to be at the airport early for our flight a 10am.
to be continue ...

a/n: was supposed to squeeze in Day four here but terlalu panjang la pulak. So, see you in the next post. ;)

ReplyDeleteHahahaha thank you for the comments; I really love it!
Btw, that's seriously many books! :O How much did you spend for all of it? But I agree, when I'm overseas, the desire to shop multiplies and that cannot be helped XD
In all of my visits in Spore I have never taken any pic in front of merlion at night *O* hahaha. It looks amazing!
Did you go to the KFC there? How was it?
Ahhh makes me want to go there again. Though it's so hot and humid, the atmosphere there is so enjoyable XD
