Legal Alien in Singapore - Day 1

Monday, 27th October 2008 Once again, I revisited Singapore. But arrive at the wrong time. It's Diwali (or Deepavali), a major Hindu holiday, which means a public holiday. Good for me, I can spend the whole day sightseeing in Singapore. The next stop is VivoCity. It’s a random choice; actually, I really don’t have any idea for the rest of the day. From here, I can continue this jolly time to the famous Sentosa Island. But I pass my chances. It’s a public holiday, and the queue is a long way to go. Maybe some other time. After that, I enjoy my lunch at Hog's Breath Café. The steak was a bit expensive. But taste okay. After recharging the energy, I spend the rest of the day enjoying life in VivoCity. Although I had tried the MRT a few times, I still had to get used to maps and directions or using the MRT card. You will be concerned about many warning signs, starting when you enter the station until you arrive on the platform. No smoking, no eating or drinking, no flammable materials. You will be fined! But on the other hand, the train is always lovely and clean. From VivoCity, I travel to Raffles City Shopping Mall using the MRT. You have to admit this transport is undoubtedly effective and very convenient. I enjoy another excellent meal at Thai Express. Although not quite spicy as in Indonesia, it’s still nice to have a chance to try different menus.
