Fun Fun Fun!

Today was indeed the most memorable day ever since i got here. The temperature now is on our side. It's getting slightly warmer and i can't wait to roam free on the streets with just one layer of clothes. We woke up at 7am as we had a sightseeing trip planned for us. Our first stop was the East Lake District. Ohmy what a beautiful place that was!! There's a saying that 'A picture speaks a thousand words' right? Here goes:








Beautiful? No? Go dig your eyes. Because it is more than beautiful. It's more beautiful than words can describe. I am seriously wondering why Singapore does not have such beautiful parks. However, we did not have much time to walk around fully as the tour guide was rushing us here and there. If only we had more time to walk around...

After the Lake, we headed off to a museum. It was such an important and highly-protected museum that they even have a airport-like scanner to scan bags and such. I was a little puzzled at first. They even restricted us from bringing water bottles in. However, once entered in, i finally understood why. It was because the artefacts in there are so well preserved and protected that a slight change in the atmosphere,humidity,pressure etc. could destroy it. Moreover those artefacts were over 5000 years old and had such elaborate and genuine design of its own. Even with the most skilled craftsman in the world, such artefacts can never be reproduced or replicated once more. Cool.



After a Great Walk in the museum, we went to have lunch at a food street which was obviously FILLED WITH FOOD. FOOD. AND MORE FOOD. All hell broke loose. Everyone immediately went to get something to eat. The best part was...i ate all kinds on things. From egg-prata like sandwich to sugar syrup covered strawberries to seafood, we ate ALOT of food stuff. Overall: FOOD WAS FANTASTIC.

And that's Xin Hui eating a sausage from the prata-like bread. That's not her tongue. Need i say more?

Next stop: Yellow Crane Tower.



It was kind of boring as there wasn't much to see and the place was overcrowded. Nevertheless, it was great knowing that this place is still very well preserved. The view at the top of the tower was also astounding actually. Even if i stand on the last floor of a HDB Flat, i would not get such a beautiful view.

After that? Home Sweet Home =)
