2nd day S'pore - Shopping @ Orchard, Ducktour & Suntec City
Today we woke up a little bit late... well... close to noon to tell the truth :P But with that lots of sleep we were really energized that day. We had our lunch at Tangs basement after looking around Tangs before, the food we had was really good, as appetizer (being really hungry) we had this chinese sandwich of mantao with lettuce and pork belly in soy sauce, then for main course we ordered packet of BBQ pork rib with yellow rice and pineapple pickles. Although we had to eat in standing position (they only provide chest high little round table and no chir or stool) but the food was incredibly good, especially the pork rib packet was really cheap, it's about SGD 5 and we were stuffed.
After lunch we can start our walk, started with Tangs, then we went to Border, looking for books that's hard to get in Jakarta and not missing the crazy sale Mark & Spencer held (even at KL when we looked around at Mark & Spencer Suria, they were not in sale yet), off course I shop like crazy hehehe... CC are swept, I'm sure it'll give me headache when I went back to Jakarta :P
Then after the long shopping around and with the heat, we bought the delicious local red bean ice cream, it truly is a good choice to do and really refreshing at that hot weather...

Not realizing the time we spent, we ran like crazy to get to the MRT for City Hall to go to Suntec city as we came to know that it's 4.30 PM already, because we want to ride the DuckTour there and the last tour is at 6 PM, thank God when we were there we could still get the ticket.
For those who don't know... Ducktour is a tour using amphibian vehicle from the old war, so it's quite exciting as we got tour on land and water, we could see lots of places in 1 tour such as the esplanade, which looked like a durian (it is said that if we see it from above the building lookdes like microphones),

we also saw the Singapore Flyer (which is claimed to be the world highest observation wheel), to bad it cost a little bit expensive around SGD 30 so we decided not to ride it, maybe next time... :)
besides that, we also saw the merlions (they called it the mama & baby merlion, as the one in Sentosa they called it the Papa merlion). Finished with the water tour, we got around a little bit more before getting back to suntec. Too bad for the last land tour it was raining hard already, so they pulled down the plastic cover and we can't see clear of the things outside, only hearing the explanation from the tour leader with the broken sound system that keeps going on and off hahaha...

Done with the tour, we walked around Suntec for window shopping, and just realized that it's already 9.30 PM... oh gosh... it's way too late, it's gonna be hard to find dinner. Thankfully some restaurants ares till open, finally we chose Pepper Luch coz it's much cheaper than the ones that are still open. After ordering we came to know why it's cheaper... hey... we have to cook it for ourselves, but it turned out quite ok, I ordered sukiyaki.
Looking around at Suntec I found my childhood favorite snack called Dragon Beard, it's like a white cocoon made from sugar and the inside is ground nuts, I just loved it :)
We didn't feel it till the end of our day, we were quite exhausted for what we did today :D but thankfully still in fit shape with all the vitamins and packaged of traditional remedy for cold. Today we have to go home a bit fast, coz we have to packed up again for tomorrow's flight.
After shower, our room door was knocked turns out it's our room neighbor who wanted to borrow our mobile charger (but turned out to be different from our charger so she can't borrow ours), she is from Indonesia too, but she came straight from Manado for skin treatment in S'pore and we talked for quite sometime.
