Got up really late (as I pretty much ended up doing on all days, never mind, this was a holiday!).
Decided to have an early lunch (rather than a late breakfast). Had a Korean meal at the Tiong Bharu Plaza Food Court.
The food was lovely & I enjoyed the whole concept of eating at a food court & being able to chose on of so many different types of cuisines available.
Went off to the HarbourFront to go check out the SSVirgo which had just come in.
My first view of the ship literally took my breadth away!!! It was all I could do to not jump up & down yelling OMG. It was to be my first time ever on a ship - & trust me - the SS Virgo is a fab fab cruise ship. It’s the biggest & best of all the StarCruise ships - the Aries which also was docked looked like a toy boat next to it!
We went aboard the ship admist high security - each time you board or leave, it’s as good as leaving/entering the country & one has to go through immigration, luggage checks etc just like at an airport.
After we were done with the ship (actually they were done with us, they needed us to leave so that they could sail off again on a one day thingie).
Got back & shopped some more. I bought my swimsuit finally - it was a bikini really (here’s a pic I took in the changing room, lol). It was a lot more expy than the ones at Mustufa but a lot better too. Note to the wise: Sing is really expensive esp. if you convert our lovely Indian rupee!
Was quite zonked by this stage, so headed home for a bit of rest before dinner. Dinner was at Marina South, a “2-in-1 BBQ Buffet” at an amazing place called ‘Chong Pang’. A veteran expert on fish - I can honestly say I was Floored by the amazing fish available in Singapore & we ate like greedy pigs.
All the food we took (fish / meat) were either cooked or semi-cooked & each table had a stove & pot of it’s own to BBQ the fish/meat to whatever degree one liked. That was fun in itself but the real treat was in the eating.
Was completely stuffed after dinner but we still decided to drop the kids home & go experience the Singapore night life a little.
First stop was a really retro Jazz Club in Boat Quay.
After spending some time there (& witnessing the incident, lol) we went to another club. The crowd at the Jazz Club seemed classy but the second club seemed highly sidey. Both places were filled with phirangs - except the second had every phirang feeling up an Asian girl (or the other way around). There were even girls pole dancing! I was quite surprised at the openess of it all till I was informed that the girls were not hookers - just employed by the club to make the phirangs spend more money buying drinks. ooookkk?!
There was a really really amazing live band that came on later though (the reason why my cousins go there apparently 
) and they really made the trip worthwhile.
Stayed till shut down time. Of course we couldn’t sleep at all so all came home & had a night cap & long discussions on earlier discussed women until we dozed off.
