I've never walked like this at home before

Today, I brought my buddy Karin to Chinatown (finally after postponing it last week due to bad weather). And we eat lotsa stuff there! Haha, well, when u have a glutton like me as a buddy...Sadly though, the Austrian saussage stand was not open (it only operates from 5pm) and I had to come up with a contingency plan. So, I bought her some famous barbequed pork jerky to try whoich she loved! Then, I brought her to Maxwell Hawker Center to try the famous Tian Tian Chicken Rice (apparently, this is the chicken rice to eat here at home cos Mr Anthony Bourdain only eats there). Oh! I also bought some egg tarts from Tong Heng for her to savour!

In case you think all we did today was eat, then obviously you are so not reading the headline of this post. Yes we did alot alot ALOT if walking...We walked from Outram MRT to Chinatown, then I also brought her to the Hindu Temple, the Buddhist Tooth Relic Center and we even waled to Tanjong Pagar, and Raffles Place. Oh, as if walking across 3 MRT stations was not enought, I even brought her across the Singapore River to Asian Civilisations Museum. Seriously, I never though I will walk like this at home! I mean, for god christ's sake, this is not Rome you know...If not for the food, I'd so never even bother to walk all these!

Well, one interesting we saw was that we chanced upon a school production at the Old Parliement House which is noiw called the Arts House and these group of Thai students were putting on a really weirf play called, The Boy who ate 7 blah blah blah, whetever, I was soooo enjoying the air con and comfort of the seats in the Cabinet that darling, I ain't pay no attention to the play (yes, and I am doing the finger stick out neck swiveling action as this comes out if my mouth)

But one fun thing was the photo I took below:








Apparently I dunno if it's an actual arts installation or some prank but I so agree with the humour! Sir Raffles had the vision, but it was the migrant workers that actually built this city! haha... And they placed the humour piece directly opposit the statue of Raffles! haha...even Karin found it hilarious.
