07 Oct 2007 - Toa Payoh/Ah Tat/Mustafa
We started the morning with my favourite Lor mee. Then we went to meet KL’s parents and grandma for lunch at the club. We are such pigs!
Guess where we went next. Toa Payoh interchange. KL needed to spend some time with his parents to understand their new business venture and I didn’t want to be involved fearing boredom. So, I wondered around the whole interchange for nearly over 4hrs.
There is really nothing much to buy or see coz I practically walked the whole damn over and over again.
Still, I managed to score a couple of work blouses and giordano tees (sales). That was about it. I think I did pretty badly for that 4 hours but again, it was quite boring.
Since I probably walked around the entire interchange more than 3 times, I saw the progress of these durains unloading.
The highlight of the day was probably dinner with the extended family at Ah Tat’s.
Apparently Uncle Ah Tat divorced his wife and married a Viet girl half his age. Now, he does, Chinese/Thai/Viet cuisine. Still, it was delicious. He even remember that I love his sharksfin and that KL love his butter spareribs.
I had a couple of bowls that night.
We went home with a really full stomach and feeling restless, we took a cab to the 24hrs Mustafa. Woohoo!
Didn’t take much pictures because I was too busy shopping. But took this picture because stupid tiger nearly got me in trouble with the custom last year.
Then I saw this weird dry water massage machine. How weird is it. Looks like Michael Jackson’s oxygen capsule.
Shortly after this picture was taken, Alan came to meet us. We didn’t explore much of Mustafa after that. However, I still managed to buy up to $250 worth of stuff. I don’t know how I managed to do it in such a short span of time.
We wanted to bring Alan to see some interesting characters at Desker Road but they were not there so we decided to go off somewhere else for drinks.
Saw this Letter Box at Little India. Apparently they commissioned students to decorate them thru-out Sunnyland. In my opinion, some look really stupid and amature.
As we haven’t climatise to the weather yet, KL requested for an Air-conditioned place to go. Since we haven’t been back for a long time, we had difficulty describing and giving Alan direction. But it didn’t take KL too long to find it. Seriously, every year we come back, we’ll have to bring Alan to a new place because that fella just don’t go out much.
Again, I don’t know how we do it but even after a heavy dinner, we still managed to gobble down a bowl of Bak Chor mee.
