Boo hoo!! Our last day at Singapore…=(

One last look at our hotel…

The morning was spent packing, packing and packing. We checked out at about 11am and left our bags with the bellhop since our flight was only at 5pm and we wanted to do some last minute shopping! Ended back up at Orchard where we headed to Wisma Atria for lunch at Din Tai Fong. Surprisingly, it wasn’t packed (I’d read a review about the Paragon branch and apparently, it’s always full!) and we got a table immediately.

The food was pretty good…I particularly liked my noodles which was extremely tasty with the fried garlic and mushrooms. The Xiao Long Pau was a letdown though…or maybe I was having too high expectations? Again, the skin was abit too thick…sigh…what’s the diff whether it has 18 folds, 20 folds or 5 folds when the skin of the dumpling is so thick? Still can’t compare with the ones at Chef Loong @ SS2!

Food, glorious food!

After lunch, we walked over to Paragon where I went to take a last look at the wallets and purses at Gucci. Managed to find one that I liked, but the leather was in baby blue. The design is quite special though…instead of a clasp, there’s a zip all around (though I really wonder how I’m gonna zip it when it’s bursting full….with bills, not money!!). I kept asking the staff if there’ll be a pink one coming out, but she said she didn’t think so. I was contemplating between this baby blue design, and their new pink ones (the pink is really lovely and sweet, but I didn’t like the colour of the leather…off-white, and damn hard to maintain!)…hubby said the pink ones were more special, but my heart told me to go with the baby blue one (12 card slots…woohoo!!!). We went back to Gucci after taking a walk around Paragon (and buying more red bean/peanut pancakes from Jollibean in the basement…*grin*) and I finally purchased the wallet…yay!

Yay yay…my new wallet!

And a peek inside…

The cab driver of the cab we took to get back to Scarlet, and subsequently Changi, was a talkative fella! He was telling us of his experience when he visited Malaysia…he and his friend got robbed, and almost carjacked…and best of all (this is just so typical M’sia), when they went to make a police report, the police asked for more money from them!! Aiks…so embarassing lar, I tell you!

Anyways, we arrived at Changi a good two hours before our flight, and spent a long portion of it at McDs perusing the newspaper for jobs in Singapore…hehe….=) Went to do my GST refund (a measly SGD21), made another stop at Gucci and got dragged away by hubby who insisted that we were running late…=)

We arrived at KLIA at 6pm, made a quick stop at the Duty Free store, and then it was the usual stuff of getting a cab, unpacking, etc. Ohhh…and we polished off the Jollibean pancakes in the cab…yumyum!

And there you have it…five fun-filled days…! And my ‘great find’ (other than my Gucci wallet)…? This super-duper cute bunny eye cushion thingy from Banyan Tree. It’s lavender scented and oh-so-cute! Hubby has been stealing it from me every night…

Isn’t it adorable?!?
