Holland, here we come ~ meisje, Holland en me!!!! =)
Called Sindy in the morning to confirm our airticket bookings and that we’ll be heading down today to make our payment cos’ KLM’s deadline is 1st of April.
So that’s $1997 each GONE!!! we’re both in DEBT.
Gf came by to pick me up! =) and tried figuring our way out to Telok Ayer Street (near TAT) from my place; though I think I wasn’t much help at all. Frankly I can’t even tell what direction is which from the map, and the flipping to 132A/133/etc for the other ‘part’ of the map to piece the directions together was quite mindboggling.
Gf’s response: well don’t worry too muchie 
There’s a few months from now to brush up, and 6 weeks with me there to make sure you know how to read maps well. I am quite sure we will need the map pretty often during our time at Holland!
But we made it there fast and safely! =) hahahaha.
.
here we are! at 163A Telok Ayer Street =)
The first door that we’ll go through to reach Holland!
and up the staircase we go!

Never quite knew that such rustic charm could exist in Singapore. Rows of quaint shophouses adorn quiet lanes and the electic range of shops within, mainly restaurants.
Sindy at P2PTravel was really quite helpful and friendly! =) Our electronic tickets will be issued to us via email on Monday and all we have to do is complete the necessary details and print it out. And off we go! =)
After all the paperwork, we decided to head to Thian Hock Temple - which was just across the street – to light joss sticks and pray for a safe trip for us and for blessings for our family =)
The temple had brochecures which we could refer to, and a plaque on each individual altar to describe that particular deity, which was helpful cos’ I think in most temples we won’t really know which is which and what to pray for cos’, well maybe I’m very ignorant, but I usually can’t figure them out. The other gf is equally impressed at their advancement. They even have a website. Gone are the days when temples = boring = old people areas.
Walked along back alleys and across streets to get to the familiar Amoy Food Centre! Was there previously with the C.dancers when we were there for a technique session with Laoshi =)
Was taking this random pic, and gf happened to pop into the picture. So might as well take pic of her … Apparently she nearly trip at this shot. muahaha
Both of us shared mangopomeloice and hotpot chicken chop and rice! Satisfying meal =)
A must try if you love mango, and pomelo. From the store that sells tangyuan
Finally made our way back to gf’s car – only to be greeted with a summon cos’ both of us forgot about parking coupons =S hopefully it can be revoked or something! *crosses fingers*
Figured our way back to NUS, before gf sent me back home. Thanks gf!!! =) GAHHH i really can’t map-read. Neither can I drive so confidently haikkks. I don’t recognise road names or roads! =(
Shall explore Telok Ayer Street and the surroundings e.g: Ann Siang Hill sometime soon! =)
后记： I think its pretty obvious that the literary gf wrote the post while the loves to shoot gf (although most pic are from the literary gf today) posted pic after her post. Hopefully after 6 weeks there tgr, we’d become 1. muahhaa although that doesn’t sound pretty right.
