Day 4: Jurong Point, Vivo City, Sentosa & Clarke Quay

We managed to meet up with Uncle David for lunch on Day 4 in Jurong Point too as he is also living within the viccinity. Havent seen him for many many years. As Harrison & I both woke late which lead to late breakfast, we were still pretty full for lunch. In the end, we just settled for something light at a chinese restaurant there. It was nice catching up. It is always funny to hear him reminiscing how I would polished off watermelon right down to the 'white' part just before the green skin when I was a little girl. I told him then that it could be because of that that I look young...lols....
We had some 'xiu lung pau' and some dont know what... the dunno what doesnt taste good. It was just some wrapped glutinous rice. Find it quite tasteless in fact. Anyway, we chatted for quite awhile catching up on the happenings in each other life. It was nice and also kinda sad. Nice cause we havent meet for quite awhile, sad cause he aged and I am all tall and big. Sitting there, how I wish it was back to 25 years ago again. Where I would sit at the door waiting to collect goodies as toll charges for them to get into the house - kit kat, candies... lols. Or when they pretend to be asleep to avoid entertaining me and I would pull on the hairs on their legs....lols. Yeah, the evil part of me started when I was a tiny weeny bit.,.. hehehehe...
After lunch, we bidded farewell. Not sure when will be the next time we meet again. Harry & Jenny picked us up from there and we headed straight down to Vivo City. They wanted to check out some new car being launched there and we just tagged along as there was nothing much to do anyway. While we were there, Jeff & Shrinne met up with us. I thought we were just meeting up for a drink. Manatau, we were whisked off to Sentosa. There is a monorail connecting VivoCity straight into Sentosa.

Jeff took us there to check out this up & coming, next most happening place in Singapore. A USA chain restaurant called 'The WaveHouse'. He will be it's Exe Chef when its' door open in Oct/Nov. It was still under renovation while we are there. It is a one huge restaurant with tables space right up to its roof. I can already imagine the atmosphere when it open. Must be very laid-back and fun place to hang out!

The restaurant come equipped with two waves pool for its patron. Very interesting 'themed' restaurant. This one here is for beginners. If only I was prepared that day, meaning, if I've brought extra set of clothing + ICIs, I would have gotten wet. It sure look like lots of fun. Oh yeah, that's Shrinne.

A tour from the man himself. Jeff showing us the wavepool for the experts... I am not that ambitious to go into that one yet and being twirled around like I am in a washing machine like that... haha... (that's what he said how it felt like, word for word.). For starter, I should just try to aim for able to stand & balance on the beginner wave pool and not being washed out. Lols...

A bird eye's view of the beginner wave pool. Still pretty bare as the trees are not up yet. After hanging around there for about an hour, we headed back to Vivo to meet up with Jenny & Harry.

There is a shallow pool on the roof top of Vivo City for kids to play in or adult to dip their tired feet in. Very nice and relaxing environment. We also have it here in Malaysia and that is in KLCC park and cannot play or dip foot one. Lols... That's the difference between Malaysia & Singapura!
From VivoCity, we decided to head down to Clarke Quay for dinner & look see look see. Actually, it was me. I wanted very much to show Harrison the pub call 'The Clinic'. Lols.... THat's why we worked our dinner around it. ;)

Everywhere you go, it is so clean. So clean until quite tulan to see also.... where got place so clean one??? I thought there are lots of Malaysian in Singapore? How come they dont dirty the place one???? How come Malaysia so dirty one especially JB?? All these people from Singapore must have kept all their rubbish and throw in JB one shot when they crossed over. Lols. Vented up frustration!
Professor McGonagall (Harry Potte) was also in Clarke Quay in disguise as a cat....hehehe... This cat sat so still in front of a restaurant along the river right next to it's menu stand, not flinching even a tiny bit when we got close to it. We thought it was a fake cat. It was only when it squinted its' eyes, we realised it is a cat for real :p. So civilised. Fur, checked. Legs in, checked. Head tilt, checked. hehehehehehe

We settled for dinner at this place called 'Jumbo' along the river. It is a chinese seafood restaurant with little tables spread out onto the pavement right next to the river.
You can spit directly into the river halfway thru dinner...lols... But in Singkapoh, better not la.. afterwards kena saman....lols... The weather was very nice on that day too. It was a real pleasure to dine outdoor.
I had them poised for me in the 'drool' napkins provided by the restaurant. Very good hor. At least wont get seafood juices splattered all over our baju. How come our Unique Seafood here tak la one??? So louzi... Malaysia Malaysia......
We ordered some kind of dinner set for 4 fellas one. It comes with a 'cold dish starter platter', 'vege', 'prawns', 'fried rice', 'dessert' and of couse this too...

the famous 'Singapore Chilli Crab'! Unfortunately (for me), by the time this one is served, I was already 90% kenyang... So I only had the gravy with some hot buns. Equally yummy. Already not hungry enough to want to dirty my hands.


After a satisfying dinner, we walked to the other side of the river to check out the night life there. As I've already mentioned on Day 2, we finally decided to lepak in this one here called 'The Clinic'. Where did we went??? The Clinic. Lols. Of all the hangouts in Clarke Quay, this one here is the most unique ones.
Check out the furniture in The Clinic. They made the chairs we lounged on look like those metal hospital beds. Real hor...
And their freezer (maybe are just cupboards, I dunno), look just like those we will find in a morgue. Lols....
Check out those wheel-chair in the far end. Not sure to say it is cool or what...lols. In a way, it is kinda cool... but in other way, kinda like 'tai ka lai si' (pantang/supertitious) like that...lols. But I guess it is something different from the standard stuff we will find lor...
The blinds & lightings. If not mistaken, those lightings does really look like those in the operating theatre. I wonder, did they acquire it brand new or second hand from some hospital. If it is the later, again I wonder, don't know got any traces of human brain's juice splattered on it or not hor... ewww......:p hehehehehe
And this, my friend, was Harrison's drink. Mind you, it was pretty expensive just for the fun of it. Cause the drinks are prepacked into these transfusion fluid bags and served on a drip. Nolar... not with needles la... but just suck on the tube. Lols.... Quite hillarious. Tourists walking around were busy snapping away.
One for the album from The Clinic.
Cheers!!!! Lols... Luckily the waiters & waitresses does not served in nurses uniform. Otherwise, after couple of drinks, I might think I am in the clinic for real....lols.
And with that, we ended the night.
