Day 32 ; Computer Town + Dinner!
Friday, April 3, 2009


We were quite indecisive today on where to go; simply because the three of us woke up late and there wasn't much time to travel to far places as there is a dinner gathering in the evening. After much consideration, we then decided to go to Computer Town! (:

Personally, I feel that there wasn't much to shop around because there are only expensive things and they are not what I wanted to buy either. We just kept walking around and look for a handphone with a TV function for Nadiyah. It turns out that it cost quite a bomb so she decided not to buy.
 
An overhead bridge whereby there were many people selling different type of things. 

I think that in China, people are not restricted to open a shop wherever they want on the streets because they need not get a license to do so. As long as they have the goods to sell and specifically, cheap goods, there will surely be business for them. Hahaha. 

Initially, I thought the guns were fake because it was impossible to get real guns in Singapore along the street. I don't even know where we can get real guns in Singapore though; I don't think we can even get them. Hahaha. Weiguang then went to ask the stall owner about it and it turns out that the guns are real. Imagine if there was a mad person on the street and he opens fire; shooting aimlessly everywhere. Hahaha. 


Puppies that were sold at 80RMB each.


I really pity the puppies because they were left out in the open and they were actually shivering because of the cold. Also, the puppies are placed in a cage and there were many of them within one cage; it restricted their movements as they couldn't move around much. 

The stall owner then started to put on clothes for them to protect them from the cold. I don't think anyone is allowed to sell pets so openly in Singapore because they should also be treated with alot of care as we wouldn't want to have cases where animals are badly abused. 

I am not too sure whether this is a zebra crossing in China because many people were crossing the road here although there wasn't any sign indicating that it is for crossing. It is really scary to cross the road without using the traffic light because most of the cars travel at a high speed and they don't usually signal when they are making a turn. The most important thing is just to be confident on the right time to cross because if we hesitate, we will never know what will happen. Hahaha.


My first ordered Starbucks drink! Hahaha. [Chocolate Frappucino]
I have never ordered my own Starbucks drink before in Singapore. (:


Xinhui drinking her Caramel Frappucino in the shoe shop. (:


This is what happens when there is nothing much to do. Hahaha.


It was then time to get back and go to Mr Loh's apartment for the dinner gathering. We had to miss a few buses because they were too packed with people and we couldn't get aboard. Sometimes people may board the bus from the back door and if they are lucky, they will actually get a free ride by not paying. Hahaha. But it's all about integrity. (:


It was raining when we were on the way back.

When we reached Mr Loh's apartment, some of them was watching Red Cliff 2. It was happiness for me because I have been wanting to watch that movie only that there wasn't any chance. Hahaha. But halfway, the movie suddenly stopped and we couldn't continue watching it. ):

Mr Ng then switched on the karaoke cd that he bought but most of the songs are Chinese songs. I just went with the flow. Hahaha.

Xinhui's vocal wasn't that bad. Nadiyah's humming was pretty alright. (:


Hui Miang, Mengzhen and Franice enthusiastically singing the songs. Hahaha.




I took a short video of them singing. Just wait until it is Vivian's part; I think she was on cloud nine today. (:

blissful happiness. (:
