the main purpose is to change money. btw for those who wants to change money, there is this shop at people's park complex that offer very good rates. i forgot the name of the shop, but its just beside the D24 durian pancake shop.
i did not change any money, because my dad has quite alot of hk dollars with him, converted to singapore currency is 960 bucks. i only wanted to change 800 sing. haha. and when i gave my dad the 800 bucks, he said dun need, but i also paiseh, so i said give him 400, and he relented. haha. thanks dad! :)
we went for dinner at the newly renovated chinatown hawker centre. ordered zhi char from this stall, who is the gold medal winner for mediacorp's 抢摊大行动. this 行动 consists of hawkers who sell mediocre food, therefore got no customers, so mediacorp get famous chefs to give these hawker tips on improving their food, and therefore improve their business.
the food that we ordered:
and this is their 招牌 dish:
鱼肉鲜甜美味。the sauce very nice and 开胃, which goes well with the fish and rice. the bad thing about the fish is that it has too many fish bones. have to eat very very carefully.
i got a bit of phobia when eating fish with lots of fish bones, because when i was young, i went to phuket on holiday with my family, and i swallowed a fish bone, the fish bone got stuck in my throat, and it really freaked me out. i tried many methods, gulping down water, gulping down soy sauce, gulping down lots of rice in one go, trying to vomit the fish bone out, and then after like ten to twenty min, the fish bone finally disappeared. ok maybe not disappeared, it went down into my stomach. my parents and i were so relieved.
after dinner we went to vivocity to watch body of lies.
i think leonardo has finally grown from a teenage heart throb during his Titanic days to a mature guy now. his role in the movie is very ke lian, cos he is a cop, and he got captured by terrorists, then when the terroist leader is interrogating him, and cant get any information from leonardo, the terrorist leader is damn pissed and used a hammer to whack TWO of leonardo's fingers. and then the scene zoom in to the fingers to show the crushed fingers with lots of blood. DAMN DISGUSTING.
and this movie is NC16, cos the actors use alot of vulgarities. haha.
