I had a very hectic and tiring weekend. It was the very last city tour of Rose (my Friend) and Rhea (Alvin’s niece) on Saturday evening. We left home at around 6pm and reached Plaza Singapura at 6.20. There was a long queue at Café Cartel so I & AJ w/ Alvin queued up while Rose and Rhea went for window-shopping. After 15 minutes of waiting, we managed to go in. After eating and with (very) full stomachs, we’re all ready for an extensive walk night city tour!
We took MRT from Dhoby Ghaut to Raffles City. Dhoby Ghaut station is currently the deepest and largest MRT station in Singapore (as far as I know). This is the only station with five storeys below ground level and there are two commercial blocks build above the station. City Hall station is beneath the junction of Stamford Road and North Bridge Road. We exited at Raffles Shopping Centre and took some photos at Swissotel - The Stamford, the tallest hotel in Singapore.
Then we walked towards Esplanade - Theaters on the Bay. It is located at the waterfront overlooking Singapore’s Marina Bay. With its distinctive dome-shaped roofs, it is comprised of theatres, recital rooms, and rehearsal studios. It is also called “The Durian” by locals. Our guests were amazed by the architectural design of Esplanade. We walked on the Esplanade Bridge (not so sure about its actual name), sat there for a while; enjoyed the cooling sea wind and the cityscape. It was already late and AJ our Tamagochi was still wide awake. He was also enjoying the see breeze and the city lights! I think he was having fun as well! Then we went to Merlion Park and took a lot of photos. It was already quite late so we decided to go home.
When we reached home, I changed AJ’s clothes while daddy sang him lullabies. I went outside to have my last chitchat my friend Rose and Rhea. By the way, Rose was my ex-colleague in RSH Marketing Philippines. We worked together for about more than two years. We slept almost 2am and woke up again at 4am prepare their breakfast. Rose’s flight was 7:00 while Rhea’s was 7.50. We didn’t send them to the airport because AJ needed to rest and we would still need to fetch my mom at 2:50 in the afternoon. We went down and waited for the cab. Then we went to bed again and took more rest!
