the other side... adventures of haniah and rielka

what a day.... it was like a cross country race!..
it all started with me and rielka shopping around in bugis street, and suddenly realizing we are late to go to meet frieda for dinner. SO we hurry to the bus stop as F had explained. we break some rules goin there too. we get to a bus stop and it doesnt have bus no 51 on it. so we ask a girl whether theres another bus stop nearby, and she says yes yes.. walking distance actually. And H and R got to the other bustop where indeed bus no 51 does stop. so we wait and wait until the bus comes, upon entering we ask the driver to tell us when we cross china town mrt. and .... we are apparently on the wrong side. so he say go to 'the other side" (thats when this started), so we goto the other side only to find that theres no bus no 51 here.... so we ask the nest bus driver and he says... go to the other side of the building!!!!! and so we laugh a little and go to the other side and behold we find the bus stop where our bus stops.and the bus refuses to come,, finally the bus arrives. We get to the place we are... (think) we are supposed to get off.. and then we meet the "colored pens" dude!, he made a map for us to the galleria hotel in 6 different colors. omg.. lol.... it was too funny. we wanted to just say.. its ok to use one ink.. (promise)!!





then we godown further and find we are indeed lost again so we meet an indian dude, who takes us thru the middle of the road.. he certainly knew his way around the area. we find ourselves walking along the clarkquey area. definately nice to look at. but... boy did we walk for 2 and a half hours or wat!!!!!!!... then we ask another guy and he tells us.. oh (for the 5th time) its on the other side.. keep walking..!!! so we keep walking to the other side. finally we find the colorful bridge ive heard so much abt. once we reach there.. we almost cross it only to discover after asking a gora gentleman that we shud go back. so we head back.. and keep walking till we ask a smoking dude and he directs us to the "other side too"!!!! lol... we finally find the galleria hotel. R asks H if this is the "seng kee" building and H thinks she is telling her.. so she says yea yea.. lol. only after putting the phone down fo we discover that we are still not at the right building. we ask one more dude and finalllyyyyyyyy we make it to the place!!!!!!!!!

dinner was fabulous. tofu with rice!! then green tea ice cream with mochi!.. and to top off our day of adventure we had shirly temples at riverside cafe. :)
