Day to shop , hence went to China town in the morning and got some souvenirs .The mall that we walked into was the People's center and later on we walked down the open market which was mostly filled with clothes and footwear.It was good to look around,saw some cool handbags there too.This area is filled with the smell, may I say, of proper Chinese food.
The area has a lot of pedestrian crossing which has pretty looking creepers with pink and yellow flowers adding beauty to the man-made city area also cos it was a Monday morning.
Later we went to the Singapore History Museum ,it was good to walk it up from China town and since there is no heat it was not very asking museum ,contrast to my expectation, was in a modern glass building called "River side" which had other offices too area faces the Singapore river and hence the name the river we could see the Novotel and the colorful "Clarke Quay" hotels a neat bridge done there too.
Well, the museum wasn't great ,I needed something more of historical value and probably to start with an older building would have helped! anyways, with a lot of screens and story telling to hear thru headphones the tales of Singapore and its major cleanup of the river are told.
Our next destination was Little India, where once we get on to the street we have music shop blasting blowout dhin-chak music and a row of restaurants to follow.Had snacks at Anand Bhavan which was so much like the Woody's in B'lore, or rather vice versa.The store to explore was definitely Mustafa.Spread on 4 levels of Seragoon Plaza, the set up reminds us of a mega Lulu Hypermarket. The store boasts of importing almost everything from India--all the spices and ready-to-eat.This shop is a one-stop point probably once every month for almost every India in the Merlion land!
We ended up watching Madagascar once we got home and when sis was back we were off to the jaccuzzi. hmmmmmm,loadsa fun.Slept like a log!!
