Second Day

Well Day 2 started very in an interesting way. Initially, we were planning to wake up by 9 am and leave by about 10. I think we were all being too optimistic. Instead, we only left at 11 something, delayed by almost two hours actually. It was still raining but not too heavy. So, we decided to try our luck and head to the zoo. Took a MRT to Ang Mo Kio and hailed a cab to take us there. During our taxi journey there, the rain became heavier. When we arrived there, it was already pouring cats and dogs. There was nothing much we could do except wait and hope that the rain will stop. Had KFC for our lunch and order shrooms burger (possibly the world's smallest burger I've ever seen)!!! Was shocked and shocked (as Simon Cowell would say "awful, just awful. Ghastly"). Desperately wanted to go Ben & Jerry's for ice-cream but they were having renovation. In the end, we decided to push our zoo trip to some other day (the rain just won't stop), still...we manage to catch a peacock.

We headed to Suntec City just to chill out and go indoors cause of the heavy rain. Took a bus to the nearest MRT station and stopped at Raffles. Did some minor shopping at Suntec City. Me, Ning & David got ourselves a ring, Lina got two pairs of Charles & Keith shoes. Since they don't have Ben & Jerry's back here in Malaysia, so definitely had to stopped by over there. We order this huge ice-cream (6 scoops, tons of yummy toppings). Then, we took a walk around Suntec City, checking out the world's largest fountain, probably saw the fattest koi fish ever at this (who was so fat, its stomach was touching the floor). Had dinner at Thai Express (yum! yum!) & took a walk to Esplanade (durian theatre, or resembles something else that Ning mentioned...hahahaha). There were art pieces along our walkway to the theatre. So, seeing how we are all posers...well, pictures tell a thousand words. Did major walking, from the Esplanade theatre to the Merlion statue and at the end, to Clark Quay (where we manage to see the Ice-Bar). Major walking day...good exercise...another tiring but good day.


Next Up, Day 3!!!!
