4 more days in Singapore

As daddy had to go to work for the rest of the week, we kept ourselves entertained. On Monday we took our leisurely breakfast in the hotel, went upstairs then slowly got ready and watched TV and when we were finally ready we headed out to walk the many malls on Orchard Road.

After walking for a short while, you decided that you were hungry, so we headed to Food Republic in Somerset 313 (Somerset became our favourite haunt as you liked to cross the pedestrian crossing; you just wanted to press the button, to this mall which was just a stone's throw away from our hotel).

Soon we were tired so we headed back to the hotel for a rest before heading out to swim in the pool which we'd checked out in the morning. Just after we left the pool, it started to rain. We both fell asleep for a while then headed to Somerset again for dinner. We had Italian food in mind, so we went to try out Trattoria Cucina Italiana. We were seated and while I was trying to decide on what to order you were given crayons. Happiness for you *wink*

So this was my placemat:

An axed out car and another car which was satisfactory to you.

We spent the rest of Tuesday shopping too. This time we took the MRT for a ride. Just one stop but still fun. The people on the MRT were very kind, offering their seat for you. Lunch was eggs and toast and warm Milo.


On the way back to the hotel, we decided to drop by Cold Storage in Centrepoint Shopping Center. There we spotted some interesting trolleys:

Trolleys with "TVs". Ah.. so of course although we had nothing in particular to buy, I think we spent a good 20 minutes in Cold Storage, so that you could enjoy the "on board" entertainment. Of course we bought yogurt and this was what you had for tea time in the room:


We had dinner plans with daddy on Tuesday evening. So our dinner date was in Black Angus Steakhouse. Although this restaurant was on Orchard Road, it was at the opposite end from our hotel. And lazy you (thank goodness) said that you could not walk and wanted to take a taxi. So we hopped into a taxi and arrived there (probably longer by taxi than walking) after driving through the traffic jam. Dinner was nice and very filling. Then we took a slow walk all the way back to our hotel. Seems like the walk is not so tiring when it's a leisurely walk and when we're not hungry!

Wednesday was filled with more shopping. We walked all the way to Paragon. As usual, shortly after we arrived, you insisted that you were hungry. Went to Ngee Ann City and you did not want to have lunch in the food court *sigh*. So we took the lift up and found Breeks cafe. Ok. Simple enough.. Before walking into the restaurant. We saw "BricksWorld" the Lego shop which we had visited in Plaza Singapura on Sunday (and had already bought a ginormous Lego set for you). After lunch, you still wanted to look at the Lego in the shop, so we stopped by there. They had some for children to play with you here you are creating something with the many pieces of Lego:

Tada...

A jet fighter

We walked around and made several stops at some shops before heading back to the hotel. Of course, we had to stop by Cold Storage (again!!) for you to take a trolley ride (so easy to please).

Another round of yogurt

After a rest and shower, we headed to Plaza Singapura for dinner. We had a simple dinner in Ajisen Ramen. The headed back to the hotel after wandering around and to pack up. It was time to head home the next day.
