Singapore Trip in July Part 2

Woke up the next day feeling so rejuvenated and energized for a long day out, but first... time for some cereal! What we found in the kitchen were no ordinary cornflakes but maple syrup flavored waffle crisp cereal! A touch of glucose in your system is good for you early in the morning ('ںˉ

and breakfast was served.... in a fancy dainty styrofoam bowl hehe ƪ(ړײ)‎ƪ​​

We bummed around the house enjoying its relaxed atmosphere and beautiful interior, until our tummies started growling again and it was time for lunch! According to Min, the chicken chop restaurant was a short walk way from  his place so we decided to take a walk. Who knew his short walk wasn't as short as it seemed to be ٩๏̯͡)۶

After our mini cardio session, we found out upon arrival that the place was closed for the that day! Just our luck! hahaha! We ended up at the cleanest (and most expensive too haha) mamak I've ever been to right beside the restaurant we were supposed to go. 

I'm not a mamak kinda girl so forgive me when i say i was actually so excited looking at all the different kinds of prata and yes Singaporeans calls our 'roti canai' prata if you didn't already know. I wonder whats the story behind the different names. Could it be because Singapore didn't wanna seem like copycats or maybe prata sounds more posh as it totally rhymes with Prada. I hope my attempt of making a bad joke was somewhat funny, don't lah feel offended if you are singaporean k :P

First seeing a mamak that is kept so squeaky clean ≧◡≦

To all my dear malaysian friends out there, don't bother trying their mamak food because it's super expensive and can't match up to the ones at home unless you'd like to experience a cleaner environment with better air ventilation at a mamak then by all means hehe.

You probably can't see it but sweat was oozing from me pores! I sweat really quickly once exposed to heat :( and funny how i was wearing my gym attire paired with my TopShop high top sneakers! Such an odd combination but oh well.

HAHAHAHAHA!! WOAH! That expression is for Real! please don't keel me :p

After a much needed shower and prepping, we headed out to pick up Kabby, Hailey and Tobi from the airport! It took them forever to come out, waited until our legs wanna break hahaha! They were probably held up at the immigration, it was a great relief when we saw them exiting! 

Our first touristy spot was Garden by the Bay, it wasn't my first visit but the last time there wasn't enough time to go inside the enormous domes of plant wonders. I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of plants but what is a world without greenaries, i really can't imagine how depressing and dull our lives would be. NO COLOR NO LIFE! Whenever i look at gorgeous plants, there's only one person in mind, my Mother! 

Pictures taime!

It's unfortunate that one of the domes were closed for some major changes so we only managed to enter the Flower Dome and not Cloud Forest (doesn't that sound odd when you say it out loud? lol) anyway..

Welcome to the Flower Dome!
We were greeted by a whole family of cactuses plus its extended family too!

Took a stroll back to Gardens by the Bay as we parked the car there, it was a long walk back but who is complaining when there is great company and such beautiful lights?
