I'm waiting for you to appear.

I will always hold on to the 5 words most important in my life...
I Am What I Am


去爱吧,就像不曾受过伤一样
Go ahead and love, like you have never been hurt
跳舞吧,像没有人会欣赏一样
Go ahead and dance, like nobody will appreciate
唱歌吧,像没有人会聆听一样
Go ahead and sing, like nobody will listen
干活吧,像是不需要金钱一样
Go ahead and work, like you don't need the money
生活吧,就像今天是末日一样
Go ahead and live, like there is no tomorrow...

Tourist
10:26 PM

Tourist for the day!

Hahaha~ today had a really long and fun (but quite tired) day! Slept around 4 yesterday night and woke up before 12 today. Then went out with parents and aunt to Tajong Paga Market to have our lunch. Aunt suggested the place as she said there are lots of food choice over there and the foods are cheap and taste good. Indeed, the place has lots of choices and all of them look good... in the end, I ate Yong Tau Foo... which is quite cheap for the amount of stuff I chose and it taste really really good! I especially love the chilli sauce! ^^

After our lunch, we make our way to Chinatown... through which we pass through a lot of shop houses and mini shops. There are actually some interesting stores around which I have no idea they ever existed! Hahaha... when we reached Chinatown, we walk around somemore and then ate some dessert on the way. I had this mango dessert with lots of mango and mango juice as well as some pomelo bits and sago ball. Hahaha~ interesting thing which taste great as well!
Then, we walk to Amoy Street... there are lots of pubs and shops around there as well and also the famous Tian Hock Keng Temple. Often see and heard of this temple from people but never did I went in there before. Today was the first time inside... and the place is quite beautifully kept. Very serene and simple...

The famous Tian Hock Keng Temple... I thought that all the religious structures are really beautifully crafted...

We then walk towards city hall... and on our way there, we came across another temple which is over a hundred years old~ The structure is really beautiful! The sculptures in the wall and the plliar and columns inside the temple are really really beautiful... I am amazed by the artful work!

The beautiful temple... front door. (Look at the top of the roof, there are miniature sculptures on top which are really exquisite!)

Another front view of the temple with my Dad and Mum on the Right...

The courtyard of the temple... those spirals things are incense...

Here is an attempt to take a antique (artistic) photo of the temple... lol~ what do you think?

I would love to take photos of the inside of the temple but it is not allowed... T.T

Upon reaching the Singapore River, we walk through The Fullerton Hotel to reach the Merlion... I must say... the hotel is dashing! Simply beautiful...

Somewhere inside The Fullerton Hotel...

We then walk from the Merlion to The Esplanade via the long pathway along the highway. Along the way, I heard so many different languages and was really thrilled by the sight. People are taking photos at the side of the pathway... and everybody is doing the same thing. But they are speaking in different tongues! I am really interested in the different languages around the world...

We then go all the way to Suntec Convention Center to the International Book Fair organized by Popular Bookstore. There are LOADS of people there! ==" Well, the things are indeed cheaper... but the queues are terrible! We just walk around for abit and went down to another exhibition... The Food Safari and The Home Electronic Fair. There are more people here then the book fair (I guess Singaporean love foods more than anything else... maybe sales? =X). I then bought a medium size Peach Yami Yogurt and a banana Muffin~ Both are really nice. Then I bought a Green Papaya Salad from a thai booth.

After leaving that place, we decided to have dinner already. At first, we thought of going back to Toa Payoh for hawker foods. But in the end, we went to Cafe Cartel at Raffles City! Wahahaha~ I ate the Southern Cripsy Chicken Cutlet with BBQ Sauce... taste so nice! But the portion become much smaller... we then sat and eat and talk for a while before leaving to Raffles City to walk again!

Only after that did we make our way back to Bishan Junction 8. There, my parents went to the NTUC and did some shopping. Then we walk back home from there...

OH MY GOD!! My legs are like super tired now!! But well, I had a really fun day... I felt like a tourist! LOL!


Rees loves this kind of life, where he gets to eat a lot of nice stuff and buy a lot of nice stuff as well... but he knows that it is not possible to get this kind of life now when he is not earning money! So he thought that he is quite satisfied with what he has now, eating something good once in a while, buying things once in a while... but being together is more important now..... ^^
