Eastern part of the island


We joined in the Vesak celebration at Palelai Temple @ Bedok Simpang yesterday. The poor two resident monks were blessing the crowd without a break till I do not know when. We left the holy place at noon and had lunch at a Thai restaurant nearby. Surprisingly, Tom Yam Koong serves good, authentic Thai dishes.
Me and Margaret ordered tom yam soup, pandan leaf chicken, mango salad, pineapple rice and red ruby for dessert. The bill came up to about $30 without GST and service charge. It's resonable and value for money.
Since we were at the eastern part of Singapore, we proceeded to Changi City Point Shopping Centre and the Singapore Expo. Nice to be back, this time as a shopper at CCP. What a feeling! It's getting more beautiful and there were so many branded outlet stores. We couldn't believe our eyes when we passed by the BABY SPA. OMG! That's something new to us. Babies enjoying floating on those portable tubs of water. So cute.
After a comprehensive tour of CCP for Margaret, we marched to the S'pore Expo for the Harvey Norman Fair. To cut it short, we bought a Samsung  46" TV, 3 nos of standing fans and 2 nos of Nikon point and shoot cameras. The headache will come when we receive the credit card bill.
