Another Long Hike In Town

Picked myself up slowly at 7am,turned on the internet to plan my route for the day, and went back to sleep. Well, I sort of overslept and was not able to make it to Lot 1 at Chua Chu Kang,to scout for a suitable gift for Monday.So, as Sean could only make it at 3pm, Thadd arranged to meet me at West Mall earlier today.I had wanted to head over to Jurong Point at first,but when Thadd told me he was heading for West Mall,I had to make my way back to my starting point.Anyway, this was the route we took for the day:

1. West Mall(11.30am-12pm)
2. Jurong Point(12.20pm-1.30pm)...we had lunch at a MacDonalds' fast food outlet here
3.Bugis Shopping Centre(2pm-2.55pm)
4.Suntec Convention Centre(3.15pm-4pm)
5.Millenia Walk(4pm-4.30pm)
6.Marina Square(4.50pm-5.45pm)
7.City Link(6pm-7.30pm)

As expected, close to 50% of the total time was spent solely on travelling,with the remainder on scouting and making purchases.Well, met some of the OGLs,who could not recognise us at a shop at Bugis Junction.After meeting Sean, and going on to Millenia Walk to take a look at the plane models,we headed back to Marina Square on the return leg of the whole day's plan for the main gift.We spent lots of time at our second last destination,Mini Toons, just to get the personal and class gifts for her,before making our way to City Link.

As the crowd was closing in at around 6pm to catch the Chingay Parade, we decided to snack-out the long jam,so that we would not be affected by the overcrowded trains later on.So, we went over to Polar cake shop at City Link from 6pm to 7.30pm.Before that,we were at MPH bookstore to get ourselves some greeting cards to go along with the gifts we had bought.

After that, it was a terrible journey back home, with the Large gift being a burden to my normal movements...
