Arrived Tanjong Pagar Railway Station. Finding the Hotel 1929 by
ourselves using map on our hand.
Try to early check-in. But, room is not available. Thus, we deposit
our luggage at the hotel and then start our explore journey.

Reached Outram Park MRT station. Having some difficulty in buying
tickets, coz no small change.
The MRT train is cool!

9.50am |

Arrived at City Hall. Went to the underground shopping mall. None
of the shop is opened except 7-11. We decided go to take breakfast
at Suntec City Mall. Walking through an exit to Suntec City Mall,
saw a big Samsung TV screen and an underconstruction site.
We looked through the direction map in the Mall trying to find
McDonald, KFC or Burger King. We always wanted to try fast food
in overseas countries and compare their quality. :oP We walked and
walked, saw the Fountain of Wealth which is one of the unique feature
at Suntec City Mall. It is located at the center of Five building
tower. Quite impressive view. There's a little information in front
of the fountain, saying: walk around the fountain for 3 rounds with
your hands touching the water, make your wish silently, and your
wish may come true.

10.30am |
: |
McDonald was opened, but KFC is not. We chose spanish
hamburger and turkey ham hamburger with plain water for breakfast.
Others are breakfast set, we do not want to take it. Two of the hambugers
taste nice but the turkey ham is hard to chew. |
|

|
11.00am |
: |
Since the shops in the mall have not opened yet, we went to Esplanade
- Theatres by the bay. Two cactus-like design building. :oP It is
very near to Suntec City Mall. By entering the lobby from the escalator.
Beautiful orchards and other flowers were decorated and placed very
nice there.
Our leg were pain and tired. Since we came to a nice and cozy lobby,
we took some rest.
We saw outside of the lobby has a lot of beautiful and colourful
flowers. A new couple was there to take wedding photos with family
and friends. Tourist busy taking nice pictures.

|
12.00pm |
: |
We walk out from the Esplanade. Took pictures with the pretty flowers,
highest hotel in Singapore (from far view, I think it's a hotel,
as what I was informed in Singapore news channel), artistic architecture
of Esplanade.
A while later, we walked at Esplanade's side. From here you can
see the Singapore's skyline, Fullerton Hotel and Merlion too! The
scene is very beautiful. Boat taxi and duck tours carrying passsengers
around the Singapore river and in front of the Merlion.

12.45pm |
: |
We wanted to get nearer to the Merlion, hehe...to take pictures,
of course! An underpass is available for people to walk across the
river. A family was fishing by the river, yet I do not see any fish
was catched.
We din't realise Sir Stamford Raffles statue was near the Esplanade
there (we did not plan to visit the statue, so we did not do any
research on that). By not missing any chance, we took some photos.
Oh, there's a nice small park nearby too.
|

|
|
1.15pm |
: |
Merlion has a lot of visitors. We are not able to take photos with
the Merlion standing straight behind of us, unless we took a boat
taxi, in front of the big Merlion is a pool of water.
We enter Fullerton Souvenir shop. I'm looking for a slipper with
an orchard on top, but did not find it in the shop.
|

|
1.50pm |
: |
geez..I was very thirsty. We walked back to Suntec City Mall, bought
a yogurt drink in Carrefour. We do not feel hungry at all though
it is lunch time and we saw The Marché restaurant.
We sat at a bench at the center of Suntec City, enjoying nice view
of the building towers. It is worth to give Suntec City a visit!

2pm is the hotel check-in time. We went back to check-in. Took
some pictures of the room for memory. The bed is about 100cm from
the floor, quite high. Probably, the purpose of this is to allow
people to see what's outside by opening the window. But the room
was facing backyard of shophouses.
Due to not enough sleep of last night, we took a nap before dinner
time.

6.15pm |
|
Woke up in shock. hahaha...Why? Because when I woke up, I saw my
boyfriend is watching TV and it's 6.15pm. We have not have dinner
and we planed go to Night Safari at about 6.30pm. Quickly, we went
to dined at a food court center at a plaza nearby.
I had Bak Chor Mee with S$2.50 and my boyfriend had fried keow
teow with S$3.00. Both are fine.

|
8.30pm |
: |
Finding No. 927 bus, this is the only bus that will
reach Night Safari. |
|
|
|
9.15pm |
: |
Arrived at Night Safari, spend S$41.30 for the two entrance and
tram tickets. It was a cold night. It was rained before we came.
Luckily we did not come early.
Visitors are not allow to take pictures with animal using flash
light. Flash light will scare the animals. Therefore, I unable to
take any nice pictures at there, the light is not sufficient enough
for camera take good photos. After taking many photos in safari,
that is the one and only one looks clearer.
Animals in the safari are not in the cage. They are allow to walk
within the safari. Visitors must be careful when they tracking within
the safari.
When we reach Leopard Trail, tour guide suggested us to walk to
see more animals. When we were in a dark path, we heard tiger roaring
loud and continuously, we got really scared. We scared the tiger
will jump out suddenly in front of us. :oP
The Night Safari is fantastic!

We left Night Safari heading for Clark Quey. Trying
to catch the last railway transit before 11.20pm. |
|
|
|
11.30pm |
: |
Reach Clark Quay MRT station. We walked across a bridge. Saw a
bungee jump booth just by the road side.
We walked along the river, westernised pub and restaurant are at
our right and the tables and chairs are at our left (by the river).
Though it is late at night, still people are hanging around and
chat with friends.
Mostly all the shops and food stall are closed. What are opened
are pub, disco, or small coffee shops. We ordered heinken beer at
a shop and sit down for chat, planning what time to wake up in the
next morning.
