Day 11 & Day 12: Simlin Square, OGs, Serangoon & Changi

Singapore: Feb - Mar 06 Add comments

Since we had just a single day left in Singapore we decided to do nothing but shop, shop, shop and shop some more.

By this time we had narrowed down our two favorite shopping places in Singapore - one was Simlin Square - because it’s every techy person’s heaven:

And the other - as I’ve mentioned earlier somewhere - was my personal favorite - the department store OGs.

So between Simlin & OGs we went. And back. Yes, there are lots of floors in each place.

We had decided to have a traditional Laksa & one of us did - but I’m sorry to say it wasn’t me; my appetite for junk food was so unsatiated the past couple of days that I really couldn’t resist getting into the nearest Burger King. Was good!

The next day we headed into Serangoon…

… where I amused myself by getting my picture taken near these:

The website ChennaiBest.com describes Serangoon as a “home away from home” - and yes, Singapore is not only filled with Chennai origined Indians, but it seems the majority of them live in Serangoon.

One of my friends had told me before going that I could buy amazing silk saris from here - but seriously people, I’m Indian and I ain’t shopping for no saris in Singapore.

Of course we did go back to Mustafas (which the aforementioned website calls the “Mecca of Indians” - I love the copy on that web, lol!) to add more weight to our already very very overweight bags.

Yes, we are Indian.

Had our last meal at the same place we had our first meal, oh, so so many days back - counting the cruise, it was over two weeks ago… how quickly time passes when you’re having fun.

The ride back to Changi was bittersweet. Even the Mercedes taxi did not cheer me up.

We finally reached Changi Airport - which is an experience in itself - check this out to see what all they offer.

And then we had to say bye.

Goodbye Singapore, you are truly unique.
