Singapore - Day 3

Day 3 was shopping day, my favourite day. Hayley got up very early this morning (before 7am) and I was forced to join her. Aunty Cheryl got up to get ready for work cause it was a Monday and Uncle John was up as well. Aunty Cheryl even gave Hayley an angpow before she left for work. It was so nice of her.

Since it was early and papa was still asleep, Uncle John brought Hayley to the pool. There was even a mini playground next to the pool.

Chilling with Uncle John

When we got back from the pool papa was up (forced to get up) and we went for breakfast. Uncle John took us to the famous Killiney's kopitiam. After breakfast Uncle John dropped us off at ION Mall along Orchard Road. It was around 11am.
From ION Mall, we walked down Orchard Road checking out each and every mall and by 4.30pm, we only managed to cover up to Takashimaya. That was not even half way. By then our financial damage was already quite severe :-). The entire place was on sale and since we were flying back, we even got GST refund when we spent above S$100 in the stores. It was definitely a great deal!

Christmas tree in one of the mall, forgot which one. All the malls have HUGE Christmas tree display at the Concourse

A reindeer along Orchard road, there were many more with different poses but Hayley was too afraid to take photos with them. These reindeers would lit up at night and they look really nice.

We left Orchard Road at 4.30pm as our flight was at 7.30pm and we needed to get home to freshen up and to collect our luggage. When we got to the airport around 6pm, we were too tired to explore the shops. We headed straight to Burger Kings for dinner and waited until it was time to board. As Hayley didn't manage to catch any sleep in the day she was really grouchy on the plane. She refused to stay in the seat and refused to stay buckled. It definitely wasn't as smooth as the first time. Thankfully it was a short flight.
When we got back to KLIA, we had to wait for another 30 mins for the airport taxi, the queue was so long... sigh.... at times like that, I really missed Singapore.
Hayley knocked off in the taxi and slept till the morning. My poor baby was exhausted!
Overall it was a great trip and I even got my birthday present :-), not 1 but 2! Thanks papa hehehe.
