Outing With Prince

We brought Prince out the other day, because it was Pastor's day off and Prince would be bored stiff at home. So, the youths (Me, Joram, Janine, Yuxuan), decided on a day out for good food and a movie. Prince, you can show this blog to your friends and family back in Thailand to tell them you're doing real fine. *smiles*

I arranged to meet Janine and Yuxuan at 10 am but was late. And then we proceeded to meet Joram in Chinatown for brunch. For most of us, it was the first meal of the day. And it was just so nice to be in Chinatown so early in the morning.















We went to have brunch at the same place Ken swore never to eat again. For more details, go read 'Trip To Chinatown' under the incredulous reads. But the congee was fantastic and we had Chwee Kuey and Sugar Cane Juice too!















It was so filling. We thought we could survive for a dessert. But obviously we were so stuffed, no one even wanted to go for Tang Yuen. I was stuffed too, yea believe that.

So, instead of taking the MRT down to City Hall, we decided to make our way there on foot. Yes, blame me blame me. I was the one who thought it would be great to make our way down on foot. Little did I know, it was close to noon and the sun was scorching hot. Bleah.

Halfway through, we stopped at Speaker's Corner for some nice shots.















And this is another of my favourites pics now















We were standing on the stage all to ourselves. How cool was that? And we were having a great time speaking to no one. Haha. The stage looks real good, but no one seems to be saying anything there. (It's 12 noon on a Monday Peter..)

Ah, and more shots were taken.

The Singapore River (I think..)















High Street (Janine felt high)




















And as the sun was taking it's toll of heat on us, we decided to stop at Funan. The main reason was to get away from the scorching heat and to enjoy the wonder of air-conditioning, the other reason was to keep a lookout for the phone Prince was looking for.

Oh. This gal took so many postcards we were so close to walking around in denial that we knew her. Haha. Look at how many she took!!















Maple Story (I look so tiny)















And at the top floor, we were literally stuck there for nearly 1/2 an hour. Doing what you may ask? Playing the Xbox and some 'Bejewelled' game. Prince was watching as the youths were playing on and on. And what was I doing? What else but snapping..





























We couldn't find a price better than the one Pastor already has. So, Prince did not get the phone here. Moreover, it's City area. Everything seems to be so expensive.

So, we walked all the way through City Link and finally arrived at Marina Square. Pastor treated us to a movie of our choice. I didn't know what to pick, but we finally decided on 'Big Momma's House 2', which I would say was worth $7 and nothing more. It was funny, yes, but not even close to Date Movie. Date Movie is drop-on-the-floor-in-pain hilarious. For those who can go catch it, go for it. The only down side is that it is only an hour long.

After the movie, we decided to go on a hunt for Ice Cream Uncle/Aunty. I told them we might be able to find one at Esplanade, so that's where we headed next.

And stupid photos just kept on coming.















Sit back and relax















Look into my eyes















Janine's mean streak




















And no sign of Ice Cream seller. So disappointing. So we went to check out Glutton's Bay, where hopefully would sell some $1 Ice Cream.















Still no sign of Ice Cream. How sad was that. So after searching so many places, we gave up and went MarketPlace to source for vegies for Aunty Emily (Jerome's Godma), who was cooking dinner and invited Janine over.

After getting the vegetables, we then decided to head home. It was already 5 pm and we spent a long day. I took Prince back to Bishan before meeting Isaac and Claire for dinner - at the usual Prata place.

Oh. And upon reaching Bishan, guess what me and Prince saw.

You won't believe it















Lol. The ice cream man just had to appear when the ones craving for it were not around. Well, too bad I guess. Like what Janine says in her blog. It's like taxis, they're never there when you want them. Haha.

Dinner with the Duo was kinda interesting. We had great rojak, and pratas. And the bill was great too. Isaac treated me to it, and I want to say a huge THANK YOU!! I appreciate it loads man. We also stayed on to watch 'So You Think You Can Dance', and ordered drinks everytime we were ending the current one we were having.

A good day, great fellowship, and so much joy. Thanks for all the people who made this day such a beautiful one. Alright, I need to go play DotA now with the guys. Lolx. (Whatever man Peter..)

God Bless!!
