-continued: Part II-

Day Two:
Okay, I sort of got up early again.....as early as 4.15 a.m. (tak biasa with the beds there.....that's why 'home is where the heart goes').....but then I went 'lan fan chu' again.....slept until about 6.45 a.m.! Went down to the dining hall.....and curi-curi main piano!! Made Aunt Suet Chin wake up and went upstairs!! I thought "....that's so saddening.....wake people up d....", but then she said that it was beautiful playing....so it was OK d.....Then woke up my couz(s) in bed....that was about 8.00 something.....and I whispered to Sara that it was already late....and she was surprised!! Hehe...evil me leh....:P

Anyway, we (my couz and I) went to the market in Singapore with Aunt Suet Chin, Aunt Suit Fong and Mom (since this was the first time being there....just for fun!!). I was surprised that it was so much cleaner than the ones here in KL...not as wet too!! It's very organised....the way they arrange the stalls....and hygienic too!! (especially the meat section....they sell them covered in some kind of container) I guess that's the aftermath of the J.E. outbreak in Singapore....coming from markets...and meat sellers!! (Haihz...) Tried the mangoes there....for free...really sweet!! No. 1 leh.....and well...that attracted some of us to buy some....made me Hungry! Harahekta!!!! However, the pathways are a little narrow, so we had to squeeze in between the stalls....maklumlah, the space being small....
After that, Aunt Suit Fong took us around the market, which they call it the Indians' area....and she said one of the restaurants there (The Banana Leaf Restaurant, Racecourse Road) serves the best banana leaf food.....but then no chance to eat there.... so bad....

Went back home again, played in the comp again (but it was Kat's turn).....had to wait until night!

About 5.00 p.m.: We went to The Esplanade (the locals call it 'The Half Durians'...but 'Bug Eyes' sounds better) and went to eat dinner....since all of us were hungry....
We originally wanted to eat at 'My Humble House', one of the most talked Chinese restaurants in the region...but then it was full house...so, Plan A failed, so we went with Plan B: eating at the restaurant next door.....which is part of the restaurant too! So we ate there....in a modern setting!! (It was cool, trust me!) But the food was almost like normal, only that the names were too spectacular! The drinks are nice too!! Nyam nyam!! :)

By now, the dinner is done....Sara, Kat, Aunt Suet Chin, Grandma went to shop around Esplanade....while Merie, Mom, Hann Lynn, Aunt Hooi Lee, Uncle Tuck Wieng and I headed to Theatre Hall to watch 'Mamma Mia' ! Luckily we had some good seats there....it was at the upper stalls!! But the space there was too narrow (again...)...
Okay, back to stuff....the show was GREAT!! FUNNY from beginning to end.....and I've got to eat strawberry ice-cream with coke during intermission!! And the taste of the ice-cream was original!! Nice!! (If you don't believe me, watch it yourself....and you'll get it! :P)
After that, all of us went to the Waterfront....how I wished I had a camera with me....the scenery was beautiful....I could see the Merlion within a distance...and the prestigous Fullerton Hotel right behind it! OMG....the rivers too!! Sara and I entertained ourselves with a rendition of two songs....very weird songs....but it was great too!! We sang our hearts off....until Merie passed a mike (actually, it was her hand, positioned as a mike) to us.....aiyoh.....but then, we sang all night long!! Yay!!
Then again, Sara interviewed Kat and I about what happened the night before....a little boring, but at least it's enjoyable!!

By the time we reached home, it was almost midnight. I had the chance to use the comp....curi-curi again.....until Kat realised it and used her Messenger in it...(haihz..)
After that, it's time for bed. We couldn't settle ourselves down that fast, so we talked again until we......slept. Another day gone.
