I realised I have a pretty quirky thing in me. Everytime I sit down at any dining table to talk I'll get sleepy, and start yawning, and phase out. hahaha...
So anyway! I was at the
fireworks display during NDP! Wasn't in the arena but was in 3rd Aunt's booked hotel room at the Swissotel the Stamford. IT WAS SO NICE! As in, the view from up there, the 63rd story.
Before that, we were going in circles trying to find a parking lot to stop so that we could get there in time to view the fireworks. Mum, Lil bro and I were lucky, we managed to get to the hotel balcony just in time to wait around 4 minutes for the fireworks to start. It wasn't all spectacular, but pretty worthwhile. Nice breeze, fantastic view... What more can we ask for? Too bad Dad has to find a parking lot. I bet he was kinda frantic and all, and he couldn't get a parking space. So he kinda only viewed the fireworks from his car... somewhere. OH well...!
I took a few pictures, but they're all really... not so nice. SO! Maybe I won't post them here... YET.
Guess what, we actually waited around 15-20 minutes for the lift! Every level had some people waiting, and it was really... whoa. When we finally got into the lift, we were packed so close it was hard to breathe. From the 63rd story to the 38th, there was hardly a level we didn't stop at! 62, 61, 60, 59 ---- +++ we had to stop at almost every level to distraught faces in the lift lobby! It was pretty bad. Finally we were able to get to the first floor safely, and yep! Went to Maxwell to have good FOOD!!! lol...
Actually I found a few good places for some kinds of food...1) Me Sua Gou -- Maxwell Hawker Centre
