Day 9 -- Singapore

01/02/2014 Thursday

I have a dinner appointment at my high school friend's house tonight but other than that, there wasn't anything planned. So, I decided to go Bugis Mall.

Took the mass rapid train (MRT) and you can see how clean the train is. Food and drinks are not allowed in the train. Do note that chewing gum is not allowed in Singapore. 








Once we reached the mall, I went straight to the basement where the food are sold.







After getting some snacks, we went outside.





As seen in the picture below, the buildings in green and blue are residential buildings where most people in Singapore live. It is like apartments. Housing in Singapore is very expensive as it is a small island, so most people live in apartments. There are very few single family homes in Singapore and they cost a lot (starting from a few millions of dollar depending on the location as well).


Afterwards, we went to Marina Bay Sands as we brought our passports this time so that we can enter the casino without any fee. I couldn't take any pictures inside the casino but in case you are wondering, the casino inside is very plain. Nothing like the ones that we have in Las Vegas. The casino has rows of slot machines and tables for playing. 



I took a lot of pictures of the hotel and its surroundings since the last time we came, it was night.






More pictures outside the hotel





 

The buildings in the picture below are in the financial district of Singapore.







After this, I went to buy some durian which is my favorite fruit. I know that some people can't stand the smell of it but I love it.




Then, it was time to go to my high school friend's house for our gathering tonight. Everyone brought a dish and we had a good time drinking beer and talking about the past.



My friend, Freda, even brought up our yearbook and I had to snap this picture since I wasn't sure where my yearbook is at.
