Singapore Day 1: Of pork burgers and spanky rail lines and huge malls

QJ and I ate bacon burger (porky ones...not chicken ones like Carl's in M'sia) at Superdogs.....and it was superb. Dammit Malaysia should have decent pork burgers too...I'm sure Kelvin would agree with me.....

Spent most of Day 1 travelling from almost one end of the island to the next. Went Vivo City. Huge-ass shopping mall. The outlets here have nicer clothes than that of Malaysia's...but of course the price tags aren't nice at all :P....not when there's no sales during these period (got la some but not much)..I noticed that the girls here dress rather decently...I mean...you dun see much of 'ah lian-ness' here...or maybe it was just in Vivo la..who knows?

Food has been superb so far...eventho we've only been to fast food joints....MOS burger was......mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......Unagi rice burger :D ....ok it taste kinda like a bento but who cares? Unagi is teh sedaps! :9 ....might just go back there again before I leave...see la....


Went Bugis St pasar malam....a bit of a disappointment for both of us...guess we were too 'pampered' with our type of pasar malam back in Malaysia...cuz if they were like that...we'd be walking out of it with handful of snacks! (ah now that I mention snacks...I miss Chow Yang/SS2's popiah....oh dear...so sedap!)...The pasar malam here is so prim and proper...it's all in nicely allocated and lit shop lots...mmm...a bit tak biasa...ah well...thanks to that I suddenly remember about wanting MOS and we went hunting for it ... hee~

We went EXPO to pre-register for QJ's magic event....The Singapore Grand Prix.....we practically had to walk from one end of the expo to the other end of it cuz it was so bloody far...EXPO is freakin HUGE! Put it side by side with KLCC CC and you'd go O.o ....the fact that the place is loaded with fast food joints is definately a plus. Oh did I mention there's Adidas warehouse sale there? X3333 ...gonna check it out later. Popular and Robinsons has warehouse sales there too....ahhh...good thing I don't have to go anyway from EXPO to actually do some shopping :P

The public transport system here is....superb. Their train has 6 coaches while our Rapid KL (putraline ones that is) has like what...2? And they had to think so long to consider whether or not to add coaches summore....sheesh. The train line here branches off EVERYWHERE...its so efficient and convenient. Even their 'touch and go' (theirs is Ezi or sumthing) reader is much better than ours...its really just touch and go....not like most of ours where you mostly have to touch...wait...then go...ESPECIALLY monorail ones... (damn I hate those)...One thing about some of the escalator here...they're so freakin fast! It helps clear out the congestion I guess but I just can't imagine of someone were to press the 'Stop' button when the escalator loaded with ppl.... :P But seriously...its all those little things that makes the whole system move so much faster....aih..its just so nice.

I better get back to bed now (just remembered I'm holding QJ's card key so he can't get out! Eek!)...not sure if I can sleep anymore...slept so early yesterday...so damn burned out by the end of the day. Another long and packed day today...especially for QJ and Yii....wish them luck! :D

You can put your MRT card in your wallet, and put it in your bag and just swipe it thru the sensor like nothing nia. I saw some aunties doing it then i tried n it works.. Damn powerful siao not like ours >.>
summore the escalator damn realistic one.. in vivo the escalator is slow when there's things to see, and damn fast when the escalator is near the carpark/nothing to see. ahha

That time we went for AFA, we dun see ah lians type at all.. all chun-ted fashionable girls n cool guys in army attire *dies XD
