Something scary happened when I was trying to publish this post this morning. My site counter reset to zero. Not that I am a blogger that depends on my blog for a living but it was a little depressing. Then later in the day everything seemed fine again. Thank goodness! Finally done with my Singapore recap and I am packing for my upcoming Japan trip! I am so-so-so excited!!!
I can't get my hands off my plan and I keep tweaking and changing hoping to make it smoother and squeeze more POIs in. I think I need to give myself an ultimatum and say "hands off".
Sunday:
I think all the walking finally took a toll on all of us and we slept
in a little. My cousins' place is very convenient - only minutes away
from the Clementi MRT station and the Clementi Mall. We had breakfast
at Ya Kun (the soft boiled eggs were delicious!) and went grocery
shopping!

 |
| look at the Sunday morning breakfast crowd @.@ |
 |
| so professional... |
 |
| efficient assembly line |
 |
a set includes coffee/tea, 2 soft boiled eggs and stack of toasts
I see most people order 1 set and an extra cup of coffee and share |

Under the recommendation from my friends, we picked up some
Old Town white coffee mixes, Prima mixes, Song Fa bak kut teh spices,
etc. We also picked up a kueh lapis from Bengawan Solo for my friend.
 |
| I actually bought this the morning before we left :) |

Originally, we made a reservation at True Blue, a peranakan restaurant recommended by my friend. Nevertheless, my mom insisted on staying at my cousins' place to eat a Burmese meal, cooked by one of my cousins (who is a superb cook). Thus, while my cousin was cooking, I went out with one of my cousins and window shopped around the Clementi Mall. The mall is actually quite nice. I love the shoes and small leather goods at
Charles & Keith. The prices are very reasonable! I almost picked up a few pairs of shoes at but decided against it since I am running out of space in my luggage. Instead, we enjoyed a frozen yogurt at Tutti Fruitti (similar to Red Mango), picked up a curry puff at Old Chang Kee and some more soya beancurd from Lao Ban (they just opened a new stall in Clementi as of last Friday!) For those of you who are interested, I actually found the recipe online
here. I might try it myself when I get the chance!

| this curry puff is a winner!!! |
Finally, my cousin called and told us lunch is ready. Delicious! We were so stuffed and sure enough, my mom went for her nap and the rest of us just talked.
 |
| delicious! |
We decided to go to Sentosa and Vivo City after my mom woke up from her nap. We stopped at Desigual at Vivo City, as recommended by my friends.
Desigual is a casual clothing brand based in Barcelona, Catalonia, which is noted for its patchwork designs, intense prints, innovative graffiti art and flamboyant splashes of color. The clothing is lovely but I wasn't in a shopping mood... plus, it was pricey! Next to Desigual was a National Geographic store. It's my first time to visit an actual store of National Geographic - didn't actually know that they exist! I saw the canvas backpack I saw and coveted at Rottnest Island... but at S$414, I decided to pass...

We took the monorail to Sentosa. The place changed a lot since my last visit. We alighted at the last stop and decided to see the "Song of the Sea". Since we got time to kill before the show, we walked to one of the nearby beaches. The show's special effects were nice but the storyline is very weak. Not a big fan of Sentosa overall.
