it's only after cindy mentioned, did i realise tat my stay coincide with the NDP rehearsal.. the moment we stepped in the room, i walked to the window and realised that we are facing the padang directly! so excited... after picking up some stuff fm carrefour, bob and tara took a nap while i pulled a chair and sat in front of the window, armed with my camera, novel, drink and packet of chezels, waiting for the parade to start.. i almost fell asleep waiting.. bob woke up and sat beside me waiting too.. after a while, we saw the helicopters! the ones carrying the big singapore flag! hey, is tat called a helicopter in the first place? anyway, they flew past right in front our our window! it's so near! then the fighter planes flew past, doing stunts.. wow.. preview of ndp right in the comfort of a hotel room! but the hefty price tag though.. hehe..
at about 8 plus, the fireworks started! initially it was a few small ones.. and bob tot that they wun do the full scale on rehearsal but a few minutes later, many more fireworks started to light up the sky! it's so beautiful!! even though a big part of it was hidden behind pan pac and we can only see the reflections and the colours from the buildings in the CBD area.. even tara was enjoying the sight! i really envy those ppl standing at the merlion area (i realised the crowd came for this purpose!)..
i snapped so many pictures of the fireworks and the parade that the battery for the camera went flat! hey! i haven took pictures of the hotel yet! tot of wanting to take more pix of the stay in conrad, in the end, wasted all the battery power on the NDP.. well, the fireworks was worth it.. then i realised i have spents bout 15 mins and lots of battery power, trying to snap pix of the helicopter beside westin, tinking that the parachuters will parachute down fm there! silly me....
at about half past nine, bob suggested we ordered supper fm room service.. i had sirloin while bob had lamb chop.. we shared some foie gras too! not tat fantastic leh.. anyway, the table of food came with 2 small bottles of heinz ketchup and 2 bottles of mustard! so cute, must take.. wat to do, singaporeans leh.. at least i left the bathrobes alone.. of cos lah, must pay leh...
we spent the 2nd day of the stay just having breakfast at oscars and bringing tara for a quick dip in the pool.. tara didn't enjoy the dip cos it's pretty cold i tink.. after tat, both bob and tara took a nap and i enjoyed a nice long bath before we checked out.
went straight to 3rd aunt's place.. bring tara to see her grandparents.. as usual, excited to see her and she was pretty comfortable with them too.. no fussing.. so bob decided the both of us should go great world to grab some groceries, since tara was ok wif them..
saw some really nice lobsters at cold storage!! i asked bob if we could buy that for dinner tonite and he replied "when did i ever say no to watever food you wana eat?" and i was like, hmmmzz.. no loh.. we also bought some seafood for spaghetti. dinner was sumptous! bob baked the lobster with garlic and butter and it was simply delicious! wow, only $20 bucks for a really tasty lobster.. worth the money!!! who needs to go restaurants and pay ridiculous price for lobsters now?? hehehee... 
haiz, happy times usually end early... it's monday blues tomorrow... sob
