O_o Moving house too o_O

After considering that all my friends have 'pindah rumah' from xanga.com to blogspot, I decided to 'pack' my stuff and move here as well, if only to get a fresh change and fresh start to my blog. =O

Anyways, to continue where I left off last time, here's Part 2 of my Singapore trip!

*Invisible director yells : "Ok, Singapore Trip, Take Two! ANDDDD ACTION!" *
*Curtain furls back*

Ok, let's start off with lunch. =P
Met up with my friend Pei Yun and her ex-colleague Sok Mun at Bugis after a long ordeal trying to help Arvin try to get his luggage to his friend's dorm in NTU. We ended up splitting with me joining the girls for lunch and him heading to his friend's dorm to 'familiarize' himself with the route. @_@

Anyway~~~
<------ Is in Bugis if anyone is wondering. We had the famous Katong Laksa which is somewhere beside the OG building. To tell the truth, I couldn't really see the difference between my medium laksa and the small laksa the girls ordered =X For a difference of $1, there isn't really a noticeable increase in portions. Yea, I'm a glutton, at least I'm open bout it. ^_^.
Anyways, on the plus side, the laksa was actually quite good, here's a close up of how it looks like.

Mmm, anyone drooling yet?

Apart from the generous servings of 'ham' and prawns and fishcakes, the soup is a nice balance of sourness and spiciness, giving it a nice appetizing tinge, making your taste buds go wild as you eat it. ^_^

If anyone is interested in trying it......
I'll be happy to show you where it is XD

As long as you treat me to another bowl, Bwahaha.


After a fulfilling lunch, we meandered around the OG shopping mall for awhile before heading over to Sim Lim Square to help the new addition to our crew, Mr Low Yi Qian (See dazed picture) or YQ for short which I will use here (Laziness ftw) , buy a new camera. =O

In the end, it ended up in a toss up between getting his camera of choice ( A spanking new Lumix camera which model I can't remember =X ) from a semi shady looking shop which was offering him $380 ( Went from $500 to $400 as he backed off and hit $380 after more persistent haggling) to $450 from a shop upstairs with certified manufacturer logos and whatcha-ma-call-its.


Frankly, I was already dozing off due to the sienz-ness of waiting for them to finish browsing and haggling.
The girls were also almost at their limit, we had been going up and down up and down for nearly 2 hours to get a good price for the !@#$ camera.
I was pretty sure the bosses of both shops were about ready to start bombarding us with random debris if we tried to undercut them anymore.

*Runs for cover in bunker*
*FIRE IN THE HOLE!*

Anyways, random picture of said bored alpha males.

<-------- Epitome of sienz-ness, wouldn't you agree? In the end, FINALLY got his camera from the shop downstairs, albeit being milked out of $440 with the additional 'fees' going to the license paper and an extra Toshiba battery. GG $350 budget, LoL. Moral of the story, budgets are made to be exceeded. =P With that over and done with, next destination : Esplanade CONFIRMED! And awayyyy we went on a quaint little bus all the way to the Esplanade. Took quite alot of pictures there too I may add, though they were mostly with YQ's camera and Arvin's W810i. =X Sucks to have the lousiest camera phone among the bunch. I want an N95! * hint hint cough bday cough next year cough cough hint hint* Until I can get the more interesting pics from them, here are some pictures of the artwork being displayed there. =P

Doesn't it look like a gigantic *gasp* durian from outside?


Anyways, lemme show you some pictures of the Merlion which is nearby, a big tourist attraction for many foreigners.

Hmmm, let's see.

*Digs through photos*
*Gasp*

I'm out of photos =(

Ah well, will continue when I get the rest of the pictures from my friends.
Tata for now ~

Till the next sienz outing.
Aerin, signing off !!
