Anyways, the trip started out in a bad way. So bad it was predicted it might happen as a worst case scenario and it did happen. I overslept. My bus was leaving at 9.30am and I was suppose to wake up at 5am to pack my stuff, then pick Nikki who was going off with me at 7am and then get my sis to drop us off at the Bangsar where the bus was leaving from. Instead, I woke up at 8.15am had 15mins to bath, pack up, call Nikki to apologize profusely and ask her to grab a taxi there instead and then had 1 hour to get to the bus before it leaves by riding on my dad’s motorcycle due to the insane traffic condition. Suffice to say, I made it in time meeting Nikki at the bus who arrived 10 minutes before me. It was nerve breaking to the start of a tiring day.

We stayed at Fragrance Hostel. For SG$22 per night it was pretty good. Located near the city center it was quite convenient to move around.

After a 5-6 hour journey, grabbing a bite at MOS Burger, solving the puzzle on the Singapore’s EZLink card, getting lost on foot finding the hostel and waiting for the others to arrive we decided to visit the Cosplay Cafe located in Chjimes (on Akiko’s suggestion).

We only had drinks as it was quite pricey on our budget. Overall the place had a really relaxing atmosphere but unfortunately the cosplay theme was overrated as it was just a regular restaurant cum pub joint with waitresses wearing semi-maid-waitress type uniforms.

Chjimes on the other hand was simply superb. Being converted from church It was beautiful. With an al fresco dining style in the open serving many western and mediteranian cuisine it would be awesome if I could afford anything there but unfortunately I could only afford to take pictures. Next time I’ll definitely visit this place again to try the food out if I’m ever in Singapore again.

Seeing how it was such a nice nite and within walking distance of our hostel we then decided to walk back instead and drop by Burger King for a quick dinner. Looks like the roads are being readied for the Christmas with simply stunning decorations and lights along the roads.

I’ve never felt that walking was so much fun as in anywhere else. There was so many things to see and explore I just wished I could stay there for a few more days just to walk some more and coming from me its really shocking indeed cause if this is in KL I’ll be complaining already.

Interestingly, we saw the above image being projected on to the walls of their art gallery in conjunction with a Japan arts week or something. A gundam was also projected as well but due to rushing I was not able to get a good shot of it. Looks like anime-fever is already hitting town. Now its rest for the big day tomorrow.
