Happy 43th Birthday to Singapore!

Yesterday morning, I sent Eugene a sms to change the place from City Hall to Raffles Place mrt station as I knew there would be very crowded since it was nearest to Marina Bay Seating Gallery especially on NDP. Come to think I stayed at home watching NDP on television since I was young. I always watched out for fireworks at Kallang stadium from the kitchen window. Last year, it moved to Marina Bay so I still could see some small fireworks as it was far. Okay. Enough about this.

Later afternoon I arrived at Raffles Place, I was glad that there was a less crowded so I waited for Eugene. In the moment, he came and we went ahead to One Fullerton. When we got there, I told him that my friend would join us after her lunch appointment. Yes. It was Wendy. I love her very much as she was funny gal made me tickled. Ayoiah! Eugene wanted to have a lunch. True enough we had not had our lunch yet. I told him to wait for Wendy come so we chatted at Starbuck while waiting for her. And then she came, we discussed where to eat lunch. He suggested this place, Lau Pa Sat since it was near to here. So we ate there. When we are done, he went to order a takeaway for Selena. She was coming to take photos of fireworks with us together. While waiting for him, Wendy excitedly played with my camera.

This was how Wendy took photo of me

Me & Wendy

My funny gal

Here Selena came!

What he was looking at?

Hehe...Don't ask me why she did this?

Eugene said "It would rain"

He was right. Selena and I packed up our camera in our bags. I prayed it would not rain when the firework show started. We huddled on the floor as if we were sardine in can and shared his umbrella while rained on us. We chatted and watched the air show of RSAF Black Knights.

When rain stopped, Selena and I were setting up our tripods and cameras to get ready for fireworks show.

Fireworks show started. We took of them but too much smoke. What a disappointed! Sigh. Probably we were too near to the fireworks. We should walk further away from it.

Wendy and Eugene

NDP ended. We walked to the traffic junction at City Hall and then Eugene suggested we eat at Orchard, Selena did not want as she wanted to go to toilet at nearby. Before Wendy left for her appointment, she suggested we eat at Funan Mall so we agreed to have our dinner at Funan Mall. Wendy left so we were looking for restaurants or food courts however they were full of people. I felt very bad because of me; they had to look for restaurants which provide halal food. In my mind I was miserable enough and felt like wanted to cry but I did not want to show it to them. How poor of Selena and Eugene. They were hungry, there was no energy for them to walk some more. No choice, we went ahead to Orchard road by taking a bus. By this time we reached Far East Plaza, some of restaurants were going to be closed. Some were open to 11pm but not halal. So we went to KFC to eat our dinner and chatted for short while. We went home.
