Visit Singapore!

I came to Singapore in May 1997 - it's been more than 9 years! But only till recently, I cared to take a closer look at Singapore =(

I went to clarke quay this evening with a mission - to find a good dining place for me and my girl friend. I took MRT and alighted at Clarke Quay station, then crossed the coleman bridge into a world filled with partying mood - with potpourri of nationalities. The place is all nicely done up, with glittery and glitz every where.

At first I was distracted by Liang Court, specifically the Audio House, where I stopped over to browse at some portable DVD players. I may want to get one of those to show my friends some video ;)

After that I went to Clarke Quay, where I spotted some places where I would like to bring my girl friend for dinner - Pineoy Jade, a cantonese restaurant, and I can't remember the other two =P. It was only today that I discovered the layout for Clarke Quay, which consist of "mushrooms" covering the passageway between the four blocks that house many of the restaurants, and numerous inverted "daffodil" hanging over the head of diners along the river side.

After brisking through Clarke Quay, I walked along the Singapore river and went to a field beside brewerkz where the goflykite.com buffs were showing off their skills in maneuvering propeller-equipped kites. I talked to one of them to find out how much the hobby is costing them. S$600 for starter. Well, I think I can afford it. Next thing is to ask whether anyone wants to join me :)

Then I continued walking to Robertson walk, and Frasier place, where all the high class diners were chatting. I think I saw a guy parked his sports car conveniently on double yellow lines. Now I know some people think spending S$300 is more worthwhile than walking a few steps. I must say I never thought I was so poor after walking through that place. I think I want to walk there more often to motivate myself to strike out on my own.

Then I walk passed Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, which I may consider taking my girl friend for dinner too. After that it was 1030pm, and I thought it was rather late. So I took a route to Kim Seng road to take bus to Outram MRT, and came home.
All this while I got a Singapore tourist map with me. I think it's time to be a tourist and rediscover Singapore :)
