Day 8 - Lost! Help for shopping

Woke up at 7 and attempted to wake Pei Jie up. But in the end,she decide to sleep in and so, I prepared myself and went to the back alley to purchase my breakfast. On the way back to my dorm, I saw this buggy.

It was meant for the security guards and so it made me think of a National Education message: We must ourselves defend Singapore.

I mean, no one owes Singapore a living and even here, they are taking no chances with the security system. We cannot take things for granted because if we did, we would end up losing everything.

My breakfast. I got to try 肉包(meat bun) priced at 50角(equals to 50 cents here) each. I also purchase hot soya milk.

Needless to say, soon, it was time for lessons. And again, theory for 2 hours. In the end, I read through the notes and afterwards, armed with some common sense as well, I attempted the quiz and completed it in a short period of time.

Met up with Amy and Xiao Ling and went to canteen for lunch together, I managed to get some fried rice today. It was piping hot as I quickly consumed it. Later, I left my laptop in their hands for repair while I went on to the lab lessons.
In the simulation practice today, Zee Min's computer simulation became stacking people.

After lessons, we went to do some shopping by taking bus 702 to Walmart in a 20 minutes ride.
Walmart logo there. Don't have it in Singapore.
The shopping centre. Seriously, it's all about shopping a it is.
Zee Min posing in front of the ice cream truck. Their cars are able to park all the way until the pavement. Imagine Singapore cars doing that and we get- Fines!

Also, it's in their culture not to horn nor signal when changing lanes. It's dangerous and we did not even notice the vehicle until it was near us. Were they expecting their people to be mind readers? It's really dangerous, I speak for all people's safety.
In the underground passageway. It's laden with stores down there.

Made it to Walmart. Actually, Zee Min and me stuck together as we got separated from the others.
In the fruits section. Snapped some locals buying fruits.
Rice is not sold in packet here. It's like, self-service to your own rice. Interesting.
The small watermelon. See, Zee Min means to say, "Look, so small!"
"恭喜发财" (Congratulations and Prosper) It's really larger then the tangerines by so much. Can I get a red packet?
There's so many of the itsy bitsy ones too.Can we can grow watermelons this small in Singapore? It's so convenient and unique.
Introducing the shopping Queens striking a pose. From Left- Masita, Pei Jie and Hajar. Look, they already have their stuff.

Nice view!

StarBucks Chinese name is so literally translated. Nope, we never had any cup of coffee as it is.
The KFC menu. So different from Singapore.

One of the staff also took our orders. In the end, I split the bill with Zee Min and share the food.

Did I mention that we keep going to the fast food restaurants to eat? Ahh, I need a decent meal sia.
The man- Wei Guang style.

Itsy Bitsy sized chicken- It looked so good on the menu....

Thereafter, Zee Min and me went for a shopping spree. We bade goodbye to the group as we went into the shopping mall. Zee Min bought a hat while I managed to settle my undergarments. My undergarments cost 138 yuan.

Then, we got lost. I mean it, we keep walking and walking trying to find our way back to the bus stop for bus 702. In the end, Zee Min had to call for hel while I smsed for help. Thankfully, we manged to get back.

Ahh, Not busy street again! We always jaywalk and seriously, we were also looking both ways at the same time.

Amy and Queenie returned me my laptop. They informed me that they can help me get it fixed on Saturday or Sunday. So thankful to all of them for helping me big time. It ain't cheap since I have to pay like 280 yuan for it.I hope it's worth it.

Lastly, we have lessons from 1 to 5 tomorrow. Alright. I get to rest.

Got some duck neck from Mr Wong. Tasty and spicy. Eating all this I wonder if I will have any voice tomorrow....
