Day of Fun

It was Saturday yesterday and I was once again out with JL, in the Northern region of Singapore this time. We visited Yishun SAFRA as we had planned to go to all five SAFRA clubs, and this was the third one we visited. What did we do there? Swim, of course! Haha!
We had our breakfast at the Ya Kun outlet at North Point before heading over to SAFRA. When I arrived at the North Point shopping mall and had not received any notice from JL that he had arrived, I thought I was early, which was really rare by the way. However, even as I fished out my phone to notify him that I had reached before him, I got a message from him. As it turned out, he had also just arrived. Damn, why couldn't he let me be early for once, haha. Turned out my "sense of victory" was for nothing.
So to Ya Kun we went and it took a while before we got a table. I ordered my usual, french toast with two half-  boiled eggs, and the piping hot Milo. How I miss having breakfast at Ya Kun, especially those eggs! After our meal, we then headed to Yishun SAFRA Country Club via bus as we didn't want to get lost walking. It was indeed our first time in this part of the north. It wasn't long before we got to our destination and we headed straight for the pool.
After our swim, we decided to spend a little more time hanging around the north and thus headed back to North Point to walk around the mall. After some walking around, I noticed a Popular bookstore and we went in as I remembered that there was something I needed to get. However, whatever it was that I had wanted to buy slipped from my mind and I ended up getting some books on idioms and chinese sayings as I thought it might come in useful for my tuition lessons.
We soon left North Point and trained back towards Dhoby Ghaut. On the way there, I browsed through the new books I had bought and ended up having a sort of lesson on chinese sayings on the MRT. With JL misinterpreting some of those phrases, or coming up with his interpretations, that MRT ride turn out to be super hilarious... lols!
It was almost time for dinner by the time we got to Dhoby Ghaut. As I wanted to have some "good" food but JL wasn't keen on digging too deep into his pocket, he suggested we try out this place called Saizeriya which served cheap and good western food, the kind that I had in mind like steak or fish and chips...So back into the MRT we went and this time we alighted at Raffles Place. We then walked along the river to Liang Court where Saizeriya was. The food items were indeed not as pricey as most other restaurants and the food wasn't too bad either. The hamburger steak I had might not have been very good, but it was still not too bad. The other dishes we ordered were also quite on par with most restaurants. Most importantly, there was no service charge and there was free flow drinks with a reasonable price of $2.80 with any food item ordered. There was quite a variety of drinks available too.
We were feeling rather overwhelmed with food after our meal and so decided to take a walk along Clarke Quay and the Singapore River to ease the discomfort in our tummies. I do like such walks which are really relaxing. Indeed, it was breezy and cool as we walked along the river taking in the sights and sounds of the Saturday evening. As we neared the mouth of the river, we noticed a certain light show going on with laser lights shooting down from MBS. It felt kind of random to us at that moment when we noticed that light show as we had never seen it before. I later found out that the light shows are a weekly spectacle. It sure was such a coincidence that we managed to catch that light show. I sure want to watch that light show again haha!
As it was still not really late yet, we went to the Mac's at Raffles City to have a drink, but it was filled with late night diners. We had to walk up and down between the tables for quite a while before we got a table. After we finished our drinks, we then parted ways once again at the MRT station. It was a long day out but was also a day full of fun and enjoyment having new experiences and trying out a different dining venue.
The hour's late and me tired so... ciaoz!
