Day 3: A More Laid Back Day

My apologies for not writing earlier. I am now 2 days behind. Things have just been so busy its hard to find time.

Well today started like yesterday except this time instead of waking up at 8am we woke up at 11am. Lazy! So we went to get fruit juice again at the local hawker centre. It was here that Asher had his first "Singapore Rumble. Asher being adventurous had asked me to buy him a juice that was as exotic as I could get. I took this on board and decided to be a little mean so I ordered him an avocado juice with coconut. As anyone could imagine a few hours went by and things didn't go so well. The rest I leave to your imagination.

A short drive later with my Uncle we went to China Town. Who would imagine that an asian country would have a China Town, shouldn't they have Australia Town? Anyhow, we had lunch here and unfortunately sat next to a Turkish Icecream maker. If Vas was there I think there could have been trouble.

After lunch we went to my little cousins violin lesson. This was great as we got to see a seasonsed Suzuki teacher in action. Unfortunately, this bored Pettsy who left to go shopping.

Shopping on Orchard Road was the next order of the day. Orchard Road is the main road in the Singapore city. It is amazing how flat and straight this road is. Unlike Brisbane, there is hardly any hills in Singapore. While walking along we spotted some of Santa's little helpers and was fortunate enough to take photos with them. By the time we finished shopping it was dark outside and we were able to see the famous Orchard Road Christmas Lights. We enjoyed these as we drove through Orchard Road. My little cousin was lucky enough to do it Vegas style by standing out of the sunroof!

It was dinner time at Newton Circus. A place where you could eat seafood at any of the 25 food stores that sold the same things. In the spirit of trying new things Asher and I thought we would take it 1 step further and try eating the fish eyes. For some bizzare reason there was a 3rd fish eye that Asher accidently ate. Weird. At this same place my uncle bought Pettsy the local Singapore beer, Tiger Beer! It didnt come in the standard stubbies that we are used to back home rather it came in a large 3 quarter of a litre bottle.

Bed Time.
