Help! I need to pee!
with Randolph~ 
As the days went by, I discover something about myself, I am usually very, very spendthrift when it comes to buying things for myself. In this trip though, money comes out like waterfall and I am very much aware of it but I'm still letting it be. Its either my roommates are very influential or its because of the crazy, cheap deals we're getting. Must be a little of both.

The day started out with almost half of us heading off to the bank to change for more china currency. It rained, quite heavily,"Such a turn-off weather", as quoted by Randolph.
Sadly, it turns out the bank could only change currency during weekdays from the following Tuesday onwards. As the bank is quite a distance from our school and we may not "survive" with the cash left on hand, the ten of us decided to just withdraw from the ATM. Its sad because we have gone on a wasted trip as there's an ATM near our school. Its a bit weird that only certain banks have SG currency whereas most have US and others. Nonetheless, I guess most of the banks main purpose is to help their citizens save and keep their money. Since china population is so huge, it explains the many banks. Good for them not so good for us =(
the brother who is reciting the Al-Quran is inside. His voice is not bad, a little different than how I am used to listen to. (; The space is quite limited here though. There's also some tables and chairs in it. I think the dark passageway on the right and left (hidden) will lead to the prayer room but I didn't check that out as I came my monthly.
the halal raw meat can be found next to the small mosque
barbequed potato and tofu
We head off to a nearby shopping mall to shop. Since Xh, Hash and me had not really taken our breakfast and its almost lunch time already, the JO1s decided to go for brunch at KFC while the rest went off to shop first. This is when we discovered KFC is not halal. There's a pork burger on their breakfast menu. I could have kicked myself for not checking first. What's done could not be undone so the one thing that keeps me from moaning any longer is the thought of KFC in SG in about a week's time.
JO1s headed to the Shoe City in Han Zheng Jie soon after. Whee~ ! Han Zheng Jie, WO AI NI!
During the search for lunch, we chance upon a small mosque and heard a brother reciting the Al-Quran. How much I've missed hearing it.

Cab ride there was 12yuan, so 3 yuan each. The way back is 27yuan (27.8yuan, i think, but xh's bargaining skills was too good to be beaten! I learn something everyday!), about 7.30yuan each. Quite expensive but our hands were too full to get on the bus and we are quite beat ourselves.
Dinner at the usual Muslim Food Stall, bought some candies and attempted to do Flexsim again.
It's worth it. I got something for the whole family there. And I end up with the same amount as the one I have before I withdraw more.
Bad, isn't it?
Then again, it's worth it. (:
public toilet (some of the doors were spoilt and from the inside of the toilet, you can see this main entrance and vice versa. my camera can't really catch it though.)
LIVE FROGS!
its either the taxi is short or the bus tires' are tall or I have not been in a Taxi for far too long. aha
Rain again

inside the cab. Wg took the seat beside the driver. Two differences in SG's and China's Cab:
- At the back of China's cab just behind the back-passengers' seat, there's some word-advertisement flashed.
- The driver of a China's cab is seperated from the passengers by either a thick, hard layer of plastic or fences.
I think it shows that Singapore cab drivers have more trust towards their customers and have confidence that their customers are honest. I hope there aren't anymore who will deplete this trust. I think this reflect one of the NE messages: 6. We have confidence in our future.
