Had this photo taken to send to Aunt CM who was then in Perth, and that is why we had the apartment to ourselves...

Singapore with Family 2013
My most happiest childhood memories are those spent with my family in Singapore. My parents worked there for five years and we would spend our summer vacations there.
Last September, my family went on a nostalgic trip to Singapore. It has been more than 20 years since we've been in Singapore as a family. Too bad my brother and his family are too far away in Toronto that they couldn't join us.
We stayed at our Aunt CM's place at Chuan Park in Lorong Chuan where they had their own MRT station right outside the apartment compound
On our first day, E and I went straight to Orchard Road while my parents rested and waited for my sister T and her family to arrive. We agreed to meet at Centrepoint along Orchard Road. Centrepoint is significant because when we were young, we would meet our parents there on weeknights and would usually have dinner there. There was a bus from Centrepoint that stopped very near our apartment then.
Our first Singaporean meal was at Noodle Place Restaurant along the restaurant row:
After dinner, we chanced upon a Garrett Popcorn shop and had to try it out after hearing so much about it.
Our second day was dedicated to our dear little A. Universal Studios day!
We had lunch at the Malaysian Food Street, a recreated but airconditioned hawker center and had our fill of our favorite Singaporean/ Malay dishes such as satay, chicken rice, and noodles. We were so happy after the meal!
After Universal,we went to the VivoCity mall, now said to be Singapore's biggest mall. We had a nice time relaxing by the harbourfront of the VivoCity Mall:
Dinner was at Crystal Jade. Sorry no photos, but the food was definitely great!
