Touring Part of Singapore

Hi,
My father , from Penang, is visitng me for a week since last Wed.
I have been busy taking him out in the morning till early afternoon daily.

Here are some photos ....



Met my Dad, who arrived in the afternoon, and we headed to the foodcourt in T3 basement for a late lunch since he did not eat the food or snack given in flight. The food court is big and clean, popular with office staff and some students too..!


Taking the travellator in Dhoby Ghaut MRT interchange to connect to the North-South line. My Dad is so impressed with the MRT and air-con bus system here.
Sporeans have been gracious too as a women gave up her seat to him in the MRT twice. He commented that the men were not so gracious though as they waited for the women to give up the seat... so he noticed!


Took him to Vivocity and looked across into Sentosa as we were not keen to go into the island. But we have a very good lunch at Hog's Breath there, very well cooked beef.... should give it a try if you are there......



Showed him the F1 Grand Prix race track preparation; ie the specially installed overhead lights for the first night race and the concrete and steel barriers next to our Padang.



Singapore River basin next to our financial centre and the tall buildings in the background.


Also, went to Bugis Junction and prayed at the Kuan Yin temple in Waterloo Street.

Tomorrow is a rest day but we will be going to Siglap Centre for pizza; something that he miss when he is back in Penang.

These are just a few photos but we have covered quite a few places as his last visit was 2.5 years ago.

I will be flying back to Penang with my Dad on Thu for a short visit, with my family too.

Have a good one week school holiday !

( P/S Jason is complaining that he has almost full-day remedial classes in school + tuition this school holiday. This is the typical Spore education system....!)
