I hope that Jan enjoys the outings with us too!
28th May 2008, Wednesday
Today is a memorable day which I think Jan will never forget ;p
The main itinerary is to eat.
We meet Jan at Outram MRT at the platform and took the NEL to Chinatown together.We had a hard time finding our way into the People's Park Centre as it was raining and the usual ramp was barricaded due to painting work.So we made our way around the building and we finally found a slope at the other end of the building.
This is the famous Dessert Shop on the 2nd Level of the People's Park Centre. Price is slightly steeper than those at the hawker centre, still it's affordable.
We ordered Tou Suan, Barley Gingko, Black Glutinous Rice, Walnut Cream and Mango Sago... These are only the appetizers...
After that, we went to the People's Park Hawker Centre for the famous Yong Tou Fu. In addition, Jan ordered $12 worth of Wu Xiang Guan Chang! OMG, we were really stuffing the food down our throat near the end of our meal.
We went to OG Men's Department to shop around and to enjoy the air condition before we left for Chinatown Point.I didn't realise that Chinatown Point has slopes that link one level to the other. I always thought that it was only for the 1st level.
Went to Chinatown point and found the Digital Photo Shop that Dear Dear was talking about. Develop 4R digital photos at only $0.15 each! Criteria is that you have to develop more than 100 photos. This is definitely not a problem for us, i think.
Since the rain had stopped, we walked to City Hall, passing by the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Sounds familiar??? They offers scholarship to university students, to apply for it, you have to write a 3000-word essay in chinese if i am not wrong...
A snail outside SMU campus. Looks as if the snail was in the snow...
Pit Stop: Kopitiam. Jan is still able to eat. Now i know how ur Kgs come about ;p
I was hogging Jan's PSP as he introduced a new game to me.
Dear dear met his friend, Kaiwei, who was waiting for his gf.
After resting at Kopitiam, we continued our journey and reached Somerset.
Instead, we went to NYDC that is right outside Heeren to have our dinner
After the dinner, we walked to the Orchard MRT only to find out that there is no lift available yet as the place was renovating!
Poor Jan, he was terribly scared when he saw the security bringing up this machine called the "Stairs Climber". He wanted to turn back and wheel all the way to Dhoby Ghaut MRT rather than trying this Stairs Climber.
I am a dream... Go, Jan!
The process was a long and torturing one. All the three of them were perspiring. Jan was praying i think, while the other 2 were laughing and trying to focus at the same time.
Thanks to the security guard. Although he can't understand English well, he was very willing to help us.
Now you understand why is it so memorable for Jan ba ;p 
Fish & Co changed the coaster... Trying to differentiate from Fish Manhattan which uses similar coasters as their previous coasters?
These are 2 drinks on the table, please do not open unless you wanna pay $2 plus per can.
After satisfying our stomach, we went to buy movie tickets at Cathay Cineplex.
It was a great show! Thks for introducing the show :) 
My stomach felt bloated and it was going to burst anytime. In order to digest the food, we walked to Bugis and then to City Hall. Found a good place to rest at Raffles City. A new hangout place, there were a few people sleeping on the sofas.
Arts Festival is around the corner, this is one of the artefact i guess.

Dear Dear was trying to understand why I like to play that game so much.
Dear dear met his friend, Kaiwei, who was waiting for his gf.
After resting at Kopitiam, we continued our journey and reached Somerset.This is the Handicap Lift of Centre Point. It is manually operated. You have to press on the black button all the way until you reach the level that you want to go. Luckily, there was only one level.
When we were leaving Centre Point, we found out that actually there is a normal lift if we walked further down...

After the dinner, we walked to the Orchard MRT only to find out that there is no lift available yet as the place was renovating!Dear Dear helped Jan up the stairs. You think this looks easy??? I can tell you this is not. I think Dear dear burnt quite a bit of the calories for the day through this. I guess he might be afraid that Jan's Wheelchair handles will give way, too! Each handle cost $90 leh.
Poor Jan, he was terribly scared when he saw the security bringing up this machine called the "Stairs Climber". He wanted to turn back and wheel all the way to Dhoby Ghaut MRT rather than trying this Stairs Climber.I agree that it really does not look secure, but we encouraged Jan to give it a try since it was already there.

We went to Jan's house to meet him so that his mum will not be too worried.

We walked to the Boon Lay MRT station from his house and took a train to Dhoby Ghaut.
Our lunch was settled at Fish & Co @ the Glass House.
Fish & Co changed the coaster... Trying to differentiate from Fish Manhattan which uses similar coasters as their previous coasters?
These are 2 drinks on the table, please do not open unless you wanna pay $2 plus per can.
After satisfying our stomach, we went to buy movie tickets at Cathay Cineplex.We watched the show strongly recommended by Yixian... Made of Honor.
It was a great show! Thks for introducing the show :) I laughed almost throughout the whole show.
After the show, they decided to eat again... The Famous Wanton Noodles. Quite expensive even though they give you many wantons. I don't like wantons, so no use giving me so many wantons!
I ate the Sliced Chicken Noodle while the 2 of them ate the Wanton Noodles. In addition, Jan ordered the Fried You Tiao and Vegetable.
My stomach felt bloated and it was going to burst anytime. In order to digest the food, we walked to Bugis and then to City Hall. Found a good place to rest at Raffles City. A new hangout place, there were a few people sleeping on the sofas.

We continued our way to the 7-eleven opposite the MRT and grab a Big Gulp before we called it a day and headed home on our own.
