a day of being a tour guide..

today's itinerary : Chinatown, Little India

3pm : picked tricia and joenil from their hotel, the Gallery Hotel. together with aline and waipeng, we brought them to Chinatown by bus. it was their first time taking public transport here in Singapore, and of course their first time using ezlink card. we bought some 'ba kwa' for them to try, and they bought fried prawn rolls too. princess sarah came to join us for a while. we took them for a walk down the streets of Chinatown, and into Sri Mariamman Temple. they bought a lot of keychains and tried some of our local delights like the rojak, oyster omelette and 'tang yuan'. nice, they said. =)



6pm : a little shopping for tricia, who bought giordano tees for joy and nina. =) giordano is cheaper here. haha.

7pm: a lot of shopping for both of them at Mustafa. the crowd wasn't too bad, which is a good thing. it was crazy seeing them buying the Singapore tees and key chains and other souvenirs. tricia bought 8 tees and joenil bought 7. wow.

8.30pm: we started to get tired from all the working. initial plan was to bring them to geylang for more food, but was aborted because they were still full from the previous treats. so we brought them back to their hotel, but with a bit of difficulty because we were not sure of the way. haha. singaporeans got lost while trying to bring their overseas friends around. =P

9pm: back to the hotel by taxi. haha. got some presents from tricia, together with those from bong, nina, joy, tessa and franz. many thanks to all of you. =) miss you all.

yeah, it's tiring, but it's worth all the energy when the time is spent with friends from a foreign country... despite the crack on my sole, my treashold for pain is high enough, and i have my 'qing cao you' to depend on.. haha.. tomorrow will be another long day, hopefully a good day.. =)
