Merriest Christmas part 3

Day 3

As mentioned previously in a recent post, some pictures were mistakenly deleted before they were backed-up. Most of those pictures are for Day 3, which explains why this blogpost only has 4 pictures. :(

Day 3, same as the other days, started with FOOD! Yet another PG moment at the buffet breakfast in the hotel.

yea, yea, yea, I know what you're thinking: "WTF! What the hell happened to the gorgeous food model of Day 2???"

After breakfast, we immediately proceeded to Lucky Plaza to buy more souvenir items. Apparently, the girlfriend has an entire baranggay of friends to give stuff to (peace po!):)

After Lucky Plaza, we rode the MRT to Plaza Singapura, the mall near the hotel we're staying in. Being that we were in Plaza Singapura, it was only fitting that I let the girlfriend taste my favorite ice cream located in Plaza SG's basement: Asabu Sabo Hokkaido Ice Cream's "Sea salt and Caramel" yum yum yum...

yup, the gorgeous food model is back! :)

Yes, you read it right... it's caramel ice cream with a touch of salt! I know it sounds strange, but it really tastes good. Unfortunately, the girlfriend was not very enthusiastic about it as I was, so she wasn't able to finish hers.

After ice cream, we walked around the mall, and the girlfriend literally dragged me to one of the stores, where she bought a purple and gray shirt for me. According to her it looks nice on me. (syempre, sya bumili eh?! hehehe...)

We rushed back to the hotel just in time for check-out. After checking-out, we headed straight to our flat where we're supposed to drop off our stuff before we proceed to Sentosa.

Once we reached home, I gave the girlfriend a tour of our flat.

We also played some Wii games. We had a round of boxing, where my arms started hurting about halfway into the game. We also had a few rounds of tennis. But the game she liked the most was the target shooting one, probably because she was kicking my ass at it, big time! Those damned ducks are fast!

After resting awhile, we proceeded to Harbour front. We had lunch at Marche, in Vivo City. We ate A LOT! I think 4 people could have eaten what we ate for lunch!

After lunch and some picture-taking in Vivo City, we proceeded to ride the Cable Car to Sentosa. It's my first time to ride the Cable car to Sentosa, since I usually take the train. We took the Crystal Car, which is a car whose walls are mostly transparent, so you'll have a better (and scarier) view of the path the cable car is taking.

Since we don't have pictures of the cable car ride, I'm stealing one from the net:

did I mention I have issues with heights?!

After the cable car ride, we went around and took some pictures of the place. After that, we queued-up for the Luge and Skyride combo.



After the combo ride, we took a bus to go to the Underwater World. Due to my amazing navigational skills [insert sarcasm here], it seems we ended up in the wrong place. :)

Upon checking the map, we noticed that it was near the Beach station where they will be showing the Songs of the Sea. We decided we should just walk to get there. Bad decision. It was a pretty long walk! By the time we got there, the show was about to start. What's worse was that the show was already sold-out for the entire night. GREAT!

So tired, we tried to just appreciate the view, we were, afterall, beside the beach. After some time, we decided we should just head back home. Since both of us were just dead-tired, instead of taking the train, we just opted to call a cab.

Before heading home, we asked the driver to drop us off at the Pasar Malam (night market) near our place. This is where we had our dinner, sitting in the sidewalks and eating Singaporean street food... ah, good times... :)

We had cheese tofu(my favorite!), otah, sharksfin soup, roti john, and bird's nest juice.

The girlfriend also bought some stuff from the night market for her god-children back in the Philippines. Wait, scratch that, she bought A LOT of stuff from the night market. In fact, the guy even gave her some freebies, because she bought so many stuff from his stall.

After our night market adventures, we went straight home to rest our throbbing feet.

Thus ends Day 3... with food and foot aches.
