Saturday 20th Dec, according to my dad we were supposed to get up ay 6.30am and leave the house for Singapore at 7.00am. Hah as usual by the time we all got up it was like 8.00am, by the time we left the house 9.00am. By the time we hit the second link it was about 11.30am. Got into singapore and looked for the hotel. Somewhere on scotts road laid Sheraton towers, a blasting 209 SGD a night it definitely wasnt worth it. i would have rather stayed at The GoodWood Park Hotel or at Raffles... Well we were paying that much money per night right ?
As soon as we checked in, Cheryl and I parted from the hotel to meet our friends and to do our own things. Took the mrt from newton to Geylang, Went back there to look for the YWAM (Youth With A Mission) base. I was attached to them some years back. Missionary school, heh me in a missionary school ok la thats a long time ago, and dont ask. Its been such a long time since i got back there, i couldnt even remember which MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) station i usually got off at to walk to base. So i decided oklah ill get off at lavendar and walk abit, cos if i were to get off at ALjunied i would have died walking so i thought.
Ahh as soon as i hit lorong 1 it brought me back to the days where we had to roam the streets of geylang as messengers of God.. haha ok we still smoked swore and lots of other nonsense. Brought back memories of my old DTS (Discupleship Training School) mates. It was fun back then. I noticed the streets were pretty empty, and i thought to myself see the Singaporean police so effective, weeded out all the PRC street walkers. And i thought too soon, as i was trying to find my Soy bean and "oil fried ghost" shop, i was molested, harrased and groped by the prc's loitering around the 5 foot ways as the sun was really hot out. Started with "Bu Yao, bu yao... and then mei you chien" haha it really didnt work much. This time around the girls got younger and prettier. I must say what a waste of their lives, so pretty go la work for roadshows ke carshows ke, abit more dignity lah.
After the drama at geylang, i was off the the Golden Mile food court where the military market was. I remembered i had to take bus 100 to get there. Haha but i totally lost my bearings and i got on bus 100 from sims ave. (wrong direction). Fortunately i decided to ask the bus driver to tell me when to get off to get to Golden Mile. He was like "haha... you're on the wrong side of the road". DAng, so i got my ezlink card refunded and i started walking. Time was scarce so i decided to walk while waiting for the bus cos 100 normally takes a long time to come. So i walked and walked and walked and finally when i saw bus 100, wihtout taking a look at the surroundings i chased the bus down for my life. When it came to a halt, i ran up to the door and then i saw Golden Mile through the glass window of the bus. I was like, no shit i walked that far already ?
So yea walked in the military market which is located across the road from Golden Mile Complex on the 2nd floor of the Block 505 Beach Road Golden Mile Food Court. Bought the stuff i needed, waited for the tags and left. While walking out i noticed they had a large array of Deuter bags, the current one im using has served me for a good 10 years already loh. Then this uncle said, ah boy today is your lucky day, you will be enjoying the first day of my christmas sale. 150 SGD for either of these two bags the Quantum and the Air Contact both of them are 55 + 10. Wah what a steal, but i wasnt carrying enough cash, so i thought aiya forget it lo.
After, that headed to Sim Lim Square located right behind Bugis village, The best place in town to buy any electronics. Haha i finally got my Jabra BT 3030 a bluetooth this with stereo capabilities. Eh looks so nice.. hehe. Backin KL when i sourced for it, the price i found was close to RM400. At Sim Lim i paid only 90 SGD, which would come up to about RM220. Ok maybe i got fleaced but i was willing to pay that sum lah.
