One of the places we stopped by to visit (The Merlion Park)
Seriously can't believe that we have left the country for almost 11 years ... for the girls it has been such a long time- barely can they remember living there for 6years more than a decade ago....
Gotta love the cool island breeze!
We went on a marathon walking spree and covered many areas and I must say that: "boy, was I tired!" and my bones need some resting despite having some pre warm up sessions at Bukit Kiara and also Bukit Gasing...
I find it so amusing to hear Nerissa commenting that the Merlion was so small.... well the logical explanation is that she has grown as the last time she took pictures with the Merlion must have been when she was 4 years old???
Small wonder that the Merlion 'got smaller' really...:o)
Us (and the Merlion that got smaller) in Singapore
This time round, many memories flooded my mind- good and sweet memories of the good old days- how we would go to Marina Square and then to meet up with SR at the then Suntec Project site, how I would push the pram and "comb" Orchard Road walking from Tangs to Robinsons and always sneaking into Takashimaya along the way (the 'in place' then)...
The fountain of wealth at Suntec City.
(SR was the project overseer of SC. i.e. his "baby")

Well, this time, I was quite impressed with the Esplanade, and also enjoyed walking endlessly underground (I mean walking the City Link, literally linking all the major areas like Raffles Place, Marina Square, Esplanade and Suntec City)- all in the comfort of an air conditioned environment and window shopping, and more window shopping all the way- guess there's where the term 'shop till you drop came about, until I have exclaimed to the girls that I can't make it any more....but my 'hard walk-out' was rewarded with those lovely hawker food that I missed so much, you know the totally Singaporean flavoured chao-guo-teow- the sweet one!!, the dry mee pok-with vinegar n cili sauce , rojak, pan mien and the newest in town apparently the beef ta-tou mien( big-knived mee) really yummy!!... and also the Burger King's turkey-bacon burger (have always wondered why we don't get the bacon burger in Malaysian outlet)...

Well as for Vivo City and the Harbourfront - looking across and seeing Sentosa Island with the cable car also brought back many memories but we didn't attempt to go over , so we again did our walking round the Vivo City while waiting for the Aeroline back..
It was "bye bye" to Singapore
That concluded our journey... am glad that we were able to say "bye bye", to Singapore who has hosted us, during the wonderful 6 years we called her our home, a decade ago..
