Daiso

I took the train, and stopped at Jurong East MRT Station. Took the escalator down, and walked through the Popular Bookstore. Of course, I could not help browsing the store too! After I got through the book store to its exit, I crossed the road to the other side, and waited at the bus stop. Instead of a bus number, I looked for a bus that said "IMM". Took me less than 5 minutes to reach the IMM building - a shopping mall that housed a store that I liked - Daiso!

Had loved Japanese culture since I was in Secondary School. Daiso was a Japanese store. Most of its merchandise cost $2. The store was like a departmental store, selling stuff from food, kitchen utensils, to clothings, and hair products. I could spend hours, upon hours, just walking through the store. It brought back memories of my days spent in NUS, at the Japanese Studies Department.

The Durian Building

If you've never tasted durians, you should! However, remember! It's an acquired taste. How could you deny yourself the luxury of savouring the King of fruits - at least, he's King this part of the world?
There's even a building on the beautiful island of Singapore, dedicated to his wonderful, majestic, but slightly prickly exterior. Been to the Esplanade? You should go! Within its prickly exterior is an art lover's paradise. What? Not an art lover? You should still go! You'll find something you like about the place! Take a boat ride upon the Singapore River, and view the Esplanade from a different angle!

Lake Tahoe

I went on vacation at Lake Tahoe once, and still recall the trip with pleasure! I stayed at a condo apartment, which was near some ski slopes. I spent 3 days skiing (or rather, learning how to ski). The mountains were beautiful! The apartment was comfortable, and cozy. It was always a pleasure to come back from skiing, and get into the hot tub at the apartments. There were always friendly strangers at the tub to exchange skiing stories with. I ate at a different restaurant each day. I had Italian food one day, Chinese another, and Mexican, yet another. The scenery was just beautiful, everywhere we went, in Lake Tahoe. I would like to spend another vacation there!
