Sunny Singapore Part 4

This is a continuation of Sunny Singapore Part 3..

After having some fun at the Singapore Discovery Centre , I took the same bus (182) back to Boon Lay Bus Hub where I actually wanted to go to Chinatown, but there's a shopping centre next to it.. So I reckon I should head there and have a look or two..

Jurong Point..Located just next to Boon Lay MRT..
The entrance to the mall..

I planned to walk around Jurong Point for 5-10 minutes..It took me 2 hours+..

Guess its because of the sales in Singapore that tempted me to walk around the whole area,lurking for Abba Dvd's and cheap clothes..

When I first entered , I actually thought that its going to turn out like Desa Complex(Cheapo Shops with cheapo stuff)..I completely changed my mind when I walked around and saw the shops and restaurants that were available.

There's Ding Tai Fong and Thai Express and also a mini Japanese Food lane where all the Japanese food and restaurants were available. Although there's no high end shops around, there's always the standard Levi's,Giordano's and Court's,suitable for everyone..

Jurong Point will be a place to remember for few reasons:

1.Leslieweslie bought his first hip-hopish Jacket (SGD20)
2.Leslieweslie also bought his first set of accessories..(SGD 8.90)

Dang..This mall is even better than Jusco Metro Prima by miles...

Some of the pics that I took:

Doesnt it look a bit like The Gardens,Midvalley??

Spade..They have nice clothes..But its kinda expensive though..

For lunch, I ate Pork Katsu Don which also includes Miso Soup..The price is SGD 4.50..And it doensnt suck..Besides the auntie was friendly to me as well..

Yummy eh?

After that, I decided to go to Funan DigitaLife Mall and get my iPod casing once and for all..Sim Lim doesnt have the casing that I want and its expensive..Furthermore I have never set foot at Funan before..So its a good chance for me and have a look..To go to Funan, you just need to take the MRT and alight at City Hall Interchange..Directions is available at the station to direct you to the place..A mere 5 minutes walk from the station..

I spent about 30-45 minutes at Funan, surveying for the best and affordable iPod casing..But in the end I chose:

The Belkin Remix Metal..Its very kick@$$ looking and it only costs SGD 29.90 or Rm72 after conversion..Of course this is not the retail price as other shops sells it for SGD39.90 or Rm96.. So I think its worth it to get it at that price..It protects the screen as well..

I wanted to go back to InnCrowd and rest before moving on to my next journey.But I went the other way round and actually managed to cover the areas that I did not want to visit at the first which is the Esplanade Area..Coz I already covered the place during my first trip..

The first place that I managed to go while on the way was the Parliament of Singapore..Compare to our Malaysian Parliament, the place is quite small and not tall of course..But no doubt that its heavy secured with the CCTV's and security personnel.

Before I continued my journey, there was this cool looking building that looks like from the future and all..But I was amazed that it turns out to be:
The Supreme Court of Singapore...I thought it was some kind of big MNC company..But its definitely a nice building..



If you guys had read part 2, this place is actually Clarke Quay..Yes..Singapore is that small..

Tall skyscrapers..

Ok..Thats it..Already got bored of writing this..Will continue with part 5 when I'm free..haha..
