Today is Sunday, the first day of the week which is an off-day for normal working people like me. There wasn't anything left for me to do at home. Laundry was completed yesterday (except ironing.. shit.. I still need to do ironing.. haha)... but of course staying at home can be pretty bored after trying to kill my time by going online since morning till noon with no motives... tried to watch movie at home but everything has been watched >10x... so what else can I do?So....... I spontaneously went to Orchard. I even told my brother Aaron that I dislike going to Orchard. Honestly, I do not really like to go Orchard because it is quite crowded. I prefer less crowded area but tell me where in SG is not crowded during the weekends? Even the family malls (malls in housing area) are also crowded... But nevertheless I reluctantly got myself dressed and grabbed the camera & wristlet out for the day....Honestly, there isn't much to snap in Orchard. Nothing caught my attention to take a shot... But as I was walking to Dhoby Ghout Interchange MRT, I stumbled upon this uncle by the side of the walkway playing the chinese violin. Seriously, I have no idea whether to say he can play the violin or not because I cannot make any tune out of what he played and he even sang at the same time but I couldn't understand a single bit of what he sang (sounds to me he was murmuring only)... but heck cares, I just took a snapshot of him because he looks so talented playing the chinese violin for a person of an elderly age.
Yeap..... that was pretty much of what I saw in Orchard. I wanted to take the view of the busy streets in Orchard but from where I stand, not a very nice shot at all.... So, I just continue walking till I reached Plaza Singapura. Feeling famish & thirsty from the blazing heat, I ended up eating this at BRATWURST SHOP in basement#2......
(Purely cheese topping)
(Added chilli sauce & mustard sauce)
Cheese sausage with chilli beef sauce..... Yummy... Damage? SGD8.15 for a combo set, came with a drink and a small packet of Ruffles... err.... not worth the price to get a combo set but if it is just the sausage, it is reasonable....
All sorts of Pringles and Ruffles (plus toothpaste & toothbrush, which are not in the picture). We got all the special flavours of Pringles and my all-time-favourite Sour & Cream. He got his Ruffles (which he ate his favourite BBQ flavour and no picture taken). 3 special flavours: Pickle, Buffalo Wing and Cheddar Cheese. I have tried Pickle flavour and it is really sour. Those who loves pickles, they would surely love this. It will definitely not be my favourite choice next time. I am yet to try the Buffalo Wing flavour. The name does sound interesting. I cannot imagine how I would react to the flavour. (The normal Pringles cost about SGD2.50 and the special flavours about SGD4. I guess Malaysia would have cost almost RM8-10).
Before dinner, we went to play "Jackpot" to kill time before dinner as we arrived about 1.5 hours earlier. We spent about SGD30 and we got a bag full of sweets. I was aiming for the soft-toy but I guess I was not in luck. It was either he changed the money (to coins) too slow or it would take another SGD20-30 for the soft-toy to be mine. Was it worth it to pay about SGD50-60 to get the soft-toy (jackpot) and sweets? Or just buy the soft-toy which would cost a fraction of the cost and better kept teeth? Go figure... this is what some folks here kill/pass time in Singapore. For now, we are still wondering if we should bring some of the sweets to office and share with colleagues or just make our teeth rot faster?
