Met jh at bugis today to shop for presents for 3 friends. yup, still living the jobless tai tai life. ktv on monday and shopping today. haha...back to today. we bought the 3 presents in less than 4 hrs and even kept to the tight budget. feel a sense of achievement. haha...
the whole afternoon was packed with activities after that. went sim lim square for lunch, ice monster for dessert, guan yin miao to bai bai. i accompanied jh to fu lu shou tower where esther's mum had a massage shop. jh did a foot and shoulder massage and ended up wriggling and crying out in pain. esther's mum seemed to be very skilled and strong. a little scary hearing the cracking of the bones when she tried to 'loosen' the shoulder muscles for jh.
after that, jh said she wanted to go find a certain backpackers' hostel in little india. walked around the shophouses and saw a few other hostels but not what she wanted. then we saw 3 caucasian backpackers so we decided to follow them. after following them for like 2 streets, they came to the hostel we were looking for! haha...a lucky coincidence. it was very cheap, only $12 per night. with free breakfast, internet and a few other services. though hav to share the room with 9 other people. we got hungry again from the walking and since we were in little india, we went to an indian eatery for appom. its a flour thingy with a soft centre and crispy sides, eaten with sweet coconut milk and sugar. nice!
on the way back to bugis, we passed by the ERP gantry. saw on the sign that from 6-6.05pm, the charges was $2.30 for cars. we thought it was weird why the gantry was only open for 5 mins? it was 6.03 and so we waited for 6.05. haha... then once the time reached 6.05, the charges raised to $3! so much difference! pity the cars that went in just as it changed. haha...
saw many new things today. its a fufilling day!
looking forward to tomorrow...
