Today is another half day for work, YES! but no Aeroline this round and have to hang around town until 10:30pm. Wanted to leave office on the dot at 12:30pm but work seems bugging me as next week will be testing preparation week and everyone will be running here and there and chase each other. If I don't finish it by today, I will have to rush like mad dog next week. Finally, about 1+pm, I manage to leave the office and decided to hang around Funan for a while.
Went to do some window shopping and survey some camera lens. Opted either 50mm-300mm or 70mm-300mm lens but after some stress tests with Tamron and Nikon, it seems Nikon still the best but more pricey of course. It was about SGD800 but I did some homework before and KL seems cheaper. I feel sorry but thankful to the sales person because he gave me some demo but too bad as he can't explain in more technical and purely table talk (a bit or cow and bull) and a bit arrogant.
After that, decided to went to get some toiletries at Chinatown though it was a bit rainy. Once I was there, the shampoo that I wanted was sold out and so have to try my luck at Fair Price near my home. So no choice but to go home first and pack up my stuff and take some shower. The first thing is to ensure I bring Kai Meng's toy otherwise he will be very disappointed.
About 7pm, I left my home with 2 bags where one is my normal bag pack and another is my camera because Violet need me to take some photo of her lego (and maybe to test out the new lens if I really buy it :p). Bit tough and clumsy :(
After reach Vivo, I went for another round of window shopping to kill some time and will go to sky garden to see if there's any event going on. When I was up there, some of the regular path were closed because there will be a count down event. Also some people gather and sit around the park which facing Sentosa and I believe they might want to get a better view during the firecracker ceremony once the clock strike 12:00am. A lot of kiasu people where they were here to 'reserve' their spot since 5pm and some of them were with kids. Just because of their 'kiasu'ness and have to make the kids suffer with them. I saw some poor kids where they were just too tired and sleep/sit on the floor ... Sigh
Since the clock is near 9pm, decided to went for simple and quick dinner, Toast box! I miss their half boil egg and curry chicken. This round I manage to get the egg but curry chicken because they have changed some of their menu. So I took laksa instead. After the meal, I went straight to Tg Pagar and reach there around 9:45pm. Since it's still early and the gate still close, went to take some photo of the train station before it's final day on next 1st July 2011. In fact, this is the first time I took a proper photo with my camera at this place. Will post it up in FB to share with other as remembrance.
When I walk into the immigration section, OMG, it was damn pack and slow. Thanks to some foreigners who didn't fill their form or with mistakes. And also, there were just 2 counters open and make the queue become longer and longer.
About 20 mins later, I manage to get into my train and again upper deck. Nvm la since I'm already immune to ride the train. This time, I try out my TV USB stick again and manage to find few channels and some of them are quite good. Now I can watch TV everywhere as long as their signal is good ;)
