Singapore: Day Four (and kind of Five)

On the last whole day in Singapore, I declared that I would shop.
(This would include Tisha's pasalubong, my friends' pasalubong, and me me me)


Hoy I was wearing denim pa rin ha. 
Extra information - I sewed the sleeves on this shirt to keep them folded forever.

Hala? (Miko was making me do something other than just standing there)
_MG_6103


So ayon - Miko went off to meet up with his frisbee buddies, Mom and Dad went off
to Takashimaya, Ate Diday was somewhere too, and I walk from the hotel to Cineleisure
and went to Burger King for some lunch since everything was still closed.

When I was a kid, Ate would always order a whopper but ask that it be plain.
As in meat and bread lang, then she'd put ketchup on it while eating it.
I never grew out of it.
_MG_6109


So ayon, after lunch, the stores were opening na. 
Biglang whaaaaaat? I found my high school friend Marga in a store!
(In Singapore pa of all places 'no? I hadn't seen her in a long time)
She's the one on the right. Tapos the friend she was with was from Benilde
pala, and she told me that she'd see me around Taft all the time.
(Lol nice to finally meet you - in Singapore. Lol)
_MG_6110


Tapos she offered to take our picture so yay :-h
_MG_6111


After spending a few hours at Cineleisure, I was a happy kid na so I walked 
back to the hotel na. I passed by some Milo at the milk tea place next door, 
then headed upstairs to the room. Had a pretty long Facetime call with Kimpoi
_MG_6113


Also ate the Yan Yan I got from Seven Eleven on the first night.
I ended up throwing it away because it was super stale, jej.
Sana may Milo din sa milk tea places dito
_MG_6116


Tapos ayon, Miko, Anica, and Ana just spent the rest of the day at the hotel.
Got room service na rin instead of going out (because we planned to go out 
then everyone just got lazy so ayon)


Fast forward to Day Five, where nothing particularly interesting happened.
(except for finding a robot and a deck of cards with wild animals on them in the airport)

I kinda slept through the flight, then I woke up with an hour left
before Manila, so I asked if I could have some bread and butter.
The steward appeared with different kinds, and I was so happy that 
I said, "YAY!" and then he said "YAY!" right back at me!
Huhuhuhu thank you for being happy for me, steward guy.

When I got back to Manila, Carlos told me that his parents were inviting
me to dinner, and I was allowed (WOOHOO)
so when we got home, I just dressed up, re-makeup-ed, then left!
We had ramen that night. It was goooooood.

Singapore: Day Three

This post was super kaduper delayed because nothing much happened
the last two days there so I got pretty lazy to blog about it.
Hemingway - here it is!


Day Three was the only day that I got to go around with Mr. Chow!
(He remembers me even though the last time he saw me I had black hair!)
_MG_6050


That day I was with Ate Diday, Miko, and Anica.
They told me they'd take me to the best Korean Barbecue ever.

We went to an old church that they turned into a city walk thinggie kind of place.
_MG_6054


Pretty, 'no? It's not used for masses anymore eh.
There were shops and restaurants
_MG_6056


Chenen - we're suddenly at the Korean place.
Miko was deciding what to order
_MG_6059


I found a tiny dilis head on my placemat.
_MG_6060


Daming food
_MG_6061


Nom
_MG_6062


Ate Diday told me I would fall in love with this egg and I diiiiid.
It was super fluufy. (It's steamed egg)
_MG_6066


Miko's broken credit card
(I don't have pictures, but after lunch we went to the bank to have it replaced)
_MG_6069


Following the denim deal again - that's a top that I got from
Singapore with my Ate a few years back. It's ProudRace!
_MG_6076


(Ayaw sumali ni Miko sa picture pero nasama pa rin siya -
You cannot escape the wide lens)
_MG_6080


HEHE HELLO MR. CHOW
(The cap says 1991 - yes that was the year I was born)
_MG_6081


Fast forward to dinner.
Grabe guys, I only had a Tori Q meal once on the whole trip.
I love you chicken skin.
_MG_6082


After dinner, we were running late for our movie,
(Which was at VivoCity - a faraway place - but also the only
one with seats to Great Gatsby kaya gora na) so Miko asked the cab
driver if we could get to the mall in ten minutes, and it was
around the fourth scariest car ride I've ever been on.


Passed by Samsung(?) and it was so bright
_MG_6084


Met up with Miko's friends at the cinema and paid for the seats we reserved
_MG_6087


Chenen (I sat next to Ate Diday because I'm shy)
Scary pa kasi it was during the movie when the bombing at Serendra
happened so we couldn't concentrate for a bit kasi Ate Diday got a text about it
_MG_6089


When we left the cinmea after the movie was over, the mall was pretty much closed na.
_MG_6092


We couldn't get a cab home because everyone was trying to get a cab home so we
walked a bit further from the mall and tried to get a cab from there.
_MG_6095


Something funny that Miko told me about -
Before they got to our room, Miko picked up Anica at the lobby.
They were so into their conversation that he didn't notice he'd pressed
the 7th floor instead of the 8th. He went to the room that was supposedly ours
(except it was one floor below lol), and tried to work the card key but
the door wouldn't unlock. He tried it a bunch of times until the lady inside heard
and opened the door. She started at them for a few seconds then slammed it shut lelz.

Singapore: Day Two



On the second day, I was up at 8:40AM singing some
Sound of Music (that's Miko behind me)
_MG_6008



Met up with everyone at the lobby
_MG_5904



And then something funny happened between Ate Diday and Dad
_MG_6010
_MG_6011



Went to Taka, and had some Tori Q before lunch
_MG_5910



Miko made me try the chicken ball and it was yummy
_MG_5912



Miko was on a search for banana milk
(Sobrang obsessed niya ok)
_MG_6012



Soon after Tori Q, Miko was already looking for a place for lunch
_MG_5918



Ended up at the restaurant right outside Takashimaya
_MG_5929



This is what Ate Diday had.
_MG_5920



She removed all the cucumber bits. (I would have, too)
_MG_5923



The main reason we chose this place - the website said that
Ichiban Boshi had really good salmon skin.
_MG_5927



This is called a Salmon King Crown
(Miko's crown fell.)
_MG_5931


Tapos after we ate, we walked across the street so I could go to
Topshop and so that Ate Diday could go to Abercrombie and Fitch
(Which smells amazing ever from really far away.)

When we were done, Miko took me to Haji Lane.
It was my first time to ride a bus in Singapore!
Tapos we walked and then we got on a another bus, and then
we walked a bit more, and then
_MG_5939


WE MADE IT!!!!!
_MG_5940


Magical graffiti on the side of a restaurant
_MG_5942
_MG_5943


Tapos I met this adorable cat in one of the stores!
(I got to poke its tail, okay.)
_MG_5949
_MG_5950


O-Mighty! (Hi Miko, I know that this store scared you a bit,
but thank you for going in with me anyway =)) )
_MG_5951


Miko pointed this out then sang it,
then I sang it, then I took a photo
_MG_5953


This was a funny sign outside another store
_MG_5954


Sticking to the denim everyday deal!
_MG_5961



The Tiramisu Hero is a great name for a cat.
_MG_5963



Tapos something funny happened when we got to the end of Haji Lane.
A foreigner in a suit was walking around with a Penny looking confused.
Miko and I giggled because it made absolutely no sense.
_MG_5969


I like taking photos of lolos.
_MG_5975


Tapos from there we walked to Bugis Junction
_MG_5981


Miko treated me to a giant cup of Milo
(Thank you!!!!)
_MG_5995



And then we walked to SMU, where we were supposed to meet Anica.
She had a short meeting thinggie at the clinic, then we began to head
back to the hotel because we didn't want to be late for dinner.
_MG_5998


On the way to the bus stop, we passed by this creepy church.
Miko said that it's so old they had to put poles around the front
just to keep the church from collapsing
_MG_5999


AYIIIE This was taken when we got down to Ion because
Miko remembered that he promised Ate Diday some milk tea.
He was supposed to look for Gong Cha here.
_MG_6002


Passed by this broken piece of glass.
What happened kaya?
_MG_6003
_MG_6005


When Miko gave up on looking for Gong Cha,
we went to Lucky Plaza to get Ate Diday some Koi Tea instead.
_MG_6007


We got to the hotel in time, then we all left for Paragon.

The restaurant we were eating in was supposed to be on the 5th floor, and when we got there,
I think Dad misunderstood me and headed up another floor.
This is him on his way back down.
_MG_6018


Tapos Sheena, Miko's friend appeared and I freaked out because I hadn't
seen her in such a long time! We ran to each other and hugged,
tapos she got hit by the spikes on my head.
_MG_6048


YIIIE

Tito Renren, Alodia, and Pammy
_MG_6026



Tito Renren wanted to take our photo naman, so he
asked to borrow my camera. This is what he took.
_MG_6027


So ayon, after dinner, we left to go play billiards!
Then Ana was happy. The end.
