MAKAN CLUB WENT INTERNATIONAL!!! [part 2 - The Return Of The Gobblers]

since i wrote part 1, to maintain the style of writing and level of critisism, i guess i'll just to write part 2 as well. anyways, the night of the first day didn't end just like that. we went to a bar 5 doors away to watch an 'interesting' match between arsenal and man-u. the 2-1 result was not what that matters, it's the fact that the bar charges $3.5 SD for a can of coke! my gosh! and to find out that there is a shop in Sin Lim Square that sells coke for only 60 cents the next day... AAARGGGH!

and that's where we were headed to after the girls cooked scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast! was delicious! Sin Lim is a whole building filled with gadgets and computer stuff selling at a ridiculously low price. 4 of us bought high speed SD cards with 2G space for only $37.90 SD!!! tempted now? but it's best that u act like rich b@$+@rD$ there becos the uncles(shop owners) will simply just ignore you if they find out that you are actually just checking out prices... sigh...

and off we went to orchard road to shop, shop, shop! but first, we ate at the Village (ppl in Adelaide must be rejoicing, as there is a restaurant for villagers here...) which was actually a former Marche in the Heeren... according to rumours, the Marche there has moved to Vivo City... but anyways, the Village serve the same food as Marche, so no harm... with filled bellies, we went around orchard road shopping! i can't recall anything super special mentioning here, besides the fact that singapore's economy boost now is solely due to the 3 girls we have in this group... =P

and then there's dinner time in Fish and Co. we fell in love with the services provided by the waiters here, and wh fell in love with 'Marie', a waitress whose name is simply a creation by cp and kenn, and that is rated PRETTY by all of us... he'd drop a fork and ask her for one, go figure the reason... =P and there we gave evie a surprise birthday celebration, which is a small part of a larger celebration back in m'sia, which i hope evie will give details later... there was fireworks and Fish n Co gave her their signature birthday song... too bad there was no more scoop between wh and marie... and more shopping cos the girls spotted a Zara nearby...

after about 45 minutes shopping, we took a bus to the Esplanade, a huge durian split into 2, which is going to house The Phantom Of The Opera in March... we tried to check out the place where boys hang out to break dance, but it was too far into the night, and there was only 1 group left... so we decided to just head over to the Merlion to snap photos, and we did, for 30 minutes just between the bridge from the durians and the Merlion. then we took a bus back to the Inn...

back at the inn, after freshening up, we were challenged to a game of foosball by the receptionist, the not so cute one... i was chosen to be the traitor where else kenn n cp was in the same team... but due to the hacking skills of the receptionist, kenn n cp lost, and they had to give him a prize of a bottle of 100 plus... the night did not end so early... we went to a 24 hour mall called Al-Mustafa that was only 8 minutes walk away! we were awed by the amount the stock they keep from groceries to cameras, to watches, to handphones, to toys and computer stuff to clothes! is was all there, whatever you need, sort of like a pasar malam indoor with air con, but too messed up for our liking... but good to check it out for experience sake... =P then, we retreated and packed for our last day out...

the last day was the most profitable for singapore as we came back with bags and bags of stuff from Queensway. there, it is famous for cheap shoes and sporting equiptment! and that is where we had the famous Katong Laksa! it was so tasty that all of us could see our faces in the bowl after we finished the soup! and we only need to eat it with spoon, perfect for lazy ppl... =P then we went over to Ikea to have swedish meatballs and smoked salmon, which in my opinion was heaven! that was the last stop before we head home...

we had an interesting experience heading home, to rush all the way through immigration and to rush back into the bus again, and managed to save RM 50 in the process, but it was exhilarating and great fun! the bus driver back to KL used to be a race driver in my suspicion cos it only took him 3.5 hours to reach KL!!! Amazing!!! but we all reached save and sound, in one piece, remembering the great fun we had...

looking forward for another international makan club trip! till then, if i missed out anything, do add in the comments so that ppl that was not with us can share the laughter we had! will post pictures as soon as i get them!
