Straight Chillin'

Today was a rainy day.  We just did the normal thing...eat...shop...eat...eat...tomorrow we will do some actual things, but today we just chilled.  Unfortunately we did not make it to the Night Safari, since we planned around a rainy day.  It actually cleared up a little after dinner which made it perfect weather for the Night Safari, but we'll try and go next week.  For those of you who don't know what that is, check this out: Singapore Night Safari.

Woke up, it was raining like this:
outside our grandmother's house

We went to Thompson Plaza for breakfast.  We used to love this place and the NTUC market that is there.  

Only Americans pull in frontward to parking spaces...

There were sweet lights above the parking spots so you can easily tell where there are spaces (green) and where there are none (red).

We ate at the Kopitiam, here is the man making poh piah...we definitely think mom's is wayy better.

Jason's bfast = yong tau fu

Caroline's bfast = poh piah

Wesley's bfast = yong tau fu, stirring in da chili sauce

all the stuff you can choose to put in the yong tau fu like tofu, veggies, eggs, fish cakes and fish balls...stuffed things...etc.

After Thompson Plaza, we drove into town and walked around, mom went to Robinsons and we decided to "disperse" and meet up for a check in at 4pm.  We met at the Taka fountain and had a snack...

We decided to split up again and meet at the new Food Republic down the street.  We went to the bookstore to find the Hunger Games for Wes to read and Caroline went shopping for clothes somewhere else.  

yam puff!

We ended up meeting at 6pm for dinner at the new Food Republic, it was pretty crazy with lots of stalls and good food.

"mix rice" they call it.

chicken rice.

After dinner, we went back home while Caroline stayed out to shop more.  We got back and suffered through a hill workout since it was pretty cool.  Tomorrow we're meeting Aunty Vicky for breakfast and will go to the Marina Bay Sands for the night and Caroline's birthday.  here is a little preview of where we will be staying...

Until tomorrow...
