Singapore Part 3

Alrite continue where i left. After Sentosa Island next is ChinaTown and area around Marina Bay.

First we headed to ChinaTown or 牛车水 in mandarin. It is more like Malaysia's Petaling Street. There, u'll see lots of shoplots selling handgifts, clothes, bags and other stuff at affortable prices.

ChinaTown

Among the places of attraction near that area are the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. The most interesting thing bout this temple is that most of the material inside the Temple are made of GOLD! including the chamber which hold's the relic. Wow never thought Singaporeans are soo religious.

Next, we headed to a place called Singapore City Gallery. It is a 3 storey gallery which allow tourist to get a bird's eye view of Singapore without climbing up to a plane . It also showcase the history of Singapore and how it transform to a Metropolitan City today.

After a quick lunch we then headed to our next stop, Marina Bay. Our first place of visit is the famous Singapore Flyer, 1 of the largest observation wheel in the world. Too bad for us, a few days before our visit there were some technical glitch in the control room of the flyer thus grounding it from moving. So the purpose we went there is just to get our refunds :( Never the least they didnt say we cant take pictures of it.

After taking some pictures, we took a cab and headed to Suntec City, which houses the largest water fountain in the world, Fountain Of Wealth. "Legend says if a person stretch out his/her arms and touch the water, then walk around it 3 times while thinking of the things they wanted. Their wishes will come true." Well i tried it and till now nothing happens haha.

Our next destination brings us to the Esplanade which brings us 1 of Singapore most famous landmark. The Merlion

Esplanade

Those yellow balls at the sea are actually wish balls. This is for the New Year Countdown on December 31st. Well nothing much i can say bout the place except the beautiful view of the Sky Scapers around it.

After that Steph told me, Clarke Quay is just nearby, so we decided to drag our tiredalmostbroken leg there haha. Actually the word NEAR dont count when u need to walk almost 1 hour to get there. And without taking any dinner is really a test of our strength. Mayb we could participate in the Amazing Race next time haha.

Along the way we pass by Boat Quay. The place here is a Seafood heaven, 1 whole stretch of different seafood restaurants, u can find indian, chinese, italian and other types of cuisines there. But beware there waiter/waiteress there are very aggresive, they will try their best to promote their dishes to you. So if you walk there be firm and keep saying no thanks! haha.

After Boat Quay we finally reached Clarke Quay. Clarke Quay is where all of Singapore's night life comes alive. Lots of cute and funny pubs such as a wheelchair pub, and a hospital pub. We didnt take our dinner there coz most of the pubs are selling alcohols. After some further walking we finally found a place for dinner, and the time shows 10.30PM!!!! That's the first time i took my dinner soo late haha.

After our dinner we headed back to the MRT and went back to Boon Keng Station and call it a day. Next is the final part of my Sg Trip.. stay tune :D

One thing that I dont get bout Singapore is that their yellow line is like a saw, either the contractor they hire were drunk or they purposely do it i really dont know. One thing i know is they are damn funny haha.
