Christmas with the city lights.


Rise and Shine.Its another morning!and not to forget its Christmas day and this year's Christmas will be all about walking and more walking at the streets or Singapore.Woke up and at 7am to swim and this time Denise joined us but she came down later..a little earlier cause we will be going earlier today and so we swam till 8.20am at headed back to the room to wash up.All of us were snatching to use the bathroom and by 9am everyone is ready and time to begin the journey of the day.

Walked towards Clarke Quay and then we all went over to the Hippo Duck tours counter to register for the bumble bee boat ride along some river of Singapore.While waiting to be board onto the boat.Denise figured out something that is we all have a seat and eat our breakfast in on of the Cafe..its call TCC.of course it the short form cause i kinda forget what it stands for actually. I ordered Hazelnut frap,Denise would be some chocolaty frap,Hannah ordered cookies and cream frap and same goes to Caleb!The parents drank Mocha i think.


Mummy and Hannah.

Denise.
and of course me!

this is a traditional coffee machine and they used this to brew coffee.And wanted this picture so bad somehow.



Having a sip before we board on the boat.
We thought we cant bring it up so all of us finished the whole thing as fast as possible cause we don't want to get shoo of the boat and Denise ended up being the one who still has the frap and everyone was looking at her and food and drinks are allowed.We were like AIKS! shouldn't had finish everything one shot.

We are going through the Havelock bridge.And in this tour,the tour guide in the boat was super boring.
All she do is talk but in a boring way.Unlike the tour guide in the duck boat.He was way interesting!

the tall tall city of Singapore.


I just love Marina Bay Sands and daddy promised us that the next time we visit Singapore we will stay in the Marina Bay Sands hotel at least a night!

Moving towards the Merlion.Singapore most famous landmark.





and the family portrait.





After the boat ride we went back to the Clarke Quay bus station to take the tour bus that we can just hop on and off the bus to the place we wants to go!and our next destination will be the BUGIS STREET.I heard they do sell cheap cheap cloths there.Honestly i was forced to take these pictures but looking back at the camera,the pictures were beautiful and some looks a little like tumblr photos.




And we hopped up the open air bus and off to bugis street.Its so windy and all of our hairs were like here and there.and Hannah's hair was a little tangled though.




We walked in Bugis Junction Mall for a while,Denise and the cousins bought some stuff along with Hannah.She bought a Heffalump.And off to one of the Famous hawker center in Bugis street for some local food and the food there was like super cheap compared to the ones we had pass few days.
Some Chinese dessert.known as tong Sui to cure the thirst in our throat.

Looks like a cock? yes its a very famous goreng pisang there,some of the local food programme had visited this stall.Crispy and totally different than the ones we had in Malaysia.

Singapore's Fried olyster.

I don't know how do you call this but its a local food that you might see it even Singaporean Dramas.Awesome awesome!i feel like eating it right now though.the taste of it just sticks to my tongue,

Hannah with her tong sui and all time favourite Char Kuey Teow.


Famous Rojak here.Caleb has been queuing for an hour for this!

Indeed, the cloths in bugis street are super duper cheap and we were suffering there,so many people and the have like little shops.especially those shoe shop,the customer wants to try on the shoes have to seat on the floor and Denise Siau was one of them!We headed to upstairs,its less crappy and air conditioned,we should have came up here earlier but at least we found a better place after all.In just one stall,Denise spent 200dollars there and she was kinda broke.For me,i rather safe my money on other stuff like JUICY!
we spent 3 hours there and there was one part Caleb got lost and everyone was so panic cause we couldn't get through Caleb's phone but in the end we found him of course.

By 5pm we went over to Marina Bay Sands to check out this incredible building!Be wanted to dine in but it was full already so we explore around.
Of course,we went shopping as well,especially Denise,when she saw Sephora its like she sees heaven!she rushed in there and stayed in there for an hour.
and the rest of us was like CAN SOME ONE PULL HER OUT OF THE SHOP!

We were walking around and saw lots of high end boutiques especially jewellery boutiques and mummy started to dream about her diamond rings.Spotted the Favourite store CHANEL.

Its getting late and the sky its turning dark.Its be best time to take night scenery of the marina bay sands.And looking at the pictures below.Guess how long we spend taking photos??
2 hours i guess.Cause we couldn't capture the perfect one and so it continues.










It was raining and it gets heavier and our next plan was Singapore Flyerflyer and its about l km from Marina Bay Sands..and all of us were really soaked.
Finally we reached our destination and the dramas begun,we got a notice saying that the Singapore flyer is temporary suspended and all of us was like OMG! WE WANT TO SEE IT AT NIGHT!the city lights will be awesome..
So we waited patiently and god knows it rains heavier.Our finger was all crossed cause we don't wanna come back tomorrow morning!the scenery will be yucky and ugly.Then we went over to Popeyes for dinner,a awesome and delicious meal to calm our hearts down.After meal we were thinking that the rain and thunder was gone and we can go over to Que for the ride but GOD KNOWS it rains heavier,the thunder was stronger.We went up the the place we were supposed to board for the flyer and sat on the floor and waited for an hour,dad and mum wanted to give up and head home cause we are wasting our time here and the longer we waited their faith shakes Even more.But me and my cousins insist we want to wait and we had faith that it will be reopened!,Finally the thunder calms but the rain was gone but the main point they suspended the ride was because of the thunder.and the women there was really kind,she told us to get ready because the ride is gonna be reopen in minutes.The fact they knew its gonna reopen in minutes was because they have a thunder detector up the flyer and so all of us was like THANK YOU LORD!INDEED YOU ANSWERS PRAYERS!and we were the first on the line and boarded on the cabin!
Its turning and its getting higher and Denise was pretty scare and she dint really take photos dueto her phobia in heights!All she did was sat by the chair and laughing at us doing silly stuff.




This is the only photos she took with us!



I think we were the craziest there and all of the people were just looking at us!but we had lots of fun.

I started this and Hannah they all copied me!the whole cabin people were looking at us.

Hannah's spider man pose.

the city lights of Singapore! isnt it  breath taking?














the group photo!

And the moment we got down from the flyer the rain started to our down heavily again and we were super lucky i would say.This is my Christmas,witnessing the beautiful lights of Singapore with my love ones!A very much special Christmas i would say,No buffet dinner and Christmas service like the pass few years.
Sleeping with a wide smile and gonna charge up for tomorrow's boxing day in Singapore.And it will be a Juicy Christmas for me i would say.

Loves,Siaueikwei.
