SUN. 24-10-10 : DONUTS ANYONE?

My sweet niece, Ayra sometimes joins us for our weekend jaunts. Where do we always end up being? It really depends on what needs to be done on that day, what errands have to be completed.

This time round I needed to get my monthly supply of reading materials (mainly magazines) at Kinokuniya. So off to Bugis we went!

As the kids were feeling peckish, we brought them to the J.Co. donut place to have ... what else, but donuts.

 Errm ... the kids made themselves very comfortable indeed!

I don't understand why they don't serve paper plates for those dinning in. I was served with a box instead (the take-away kind), which is a real waste of paper. Personally, I prefer Donut Factory (I think they are cheaper too) but J.Co had to do, I guess.

 Hubby was busy sms-ing away.

 Lil' Miss Ayra, enjoying her donut. She did not want to leave the place, said that she liked the atmosphere there (felt like a hotel ... really?).

See my rascal little boy! Can you see the layer of chocolate on his front teeth?

Ok, so ... I actually made them pose for this photo ... but they were really doing it before I asked them too. Yep, I can be so B-A-D!

Later we had this brilliant idea to "drag" the kids to Ion Orchard. For a thrill, we decided to leave the car at Bugis & took the MRT train to Orchard station. Errm ... bad move! I don't know, is it just me or is the crowd very bad. It might be coz its the weekend, it might be that I haven't taken a train to the downtown area for awhile but I thought it wouldn't be so bad as it was the odd hour (not the peak period).

I tell you, Singapore is sooo over-crowded!

The only consolation was a mother with two boys offered to share their seats with Ryan but I declined as my boy & his cousin preferred to stand & hold the hand-railings. Yep, no one else even bothered nor offered their seats to my (small) 3 year old boy!

So much for ... chivalry, priority seats & being courteous! N-O-T !!!

Gosh! if you had seen these two (that day), you would think that they've NEVER been to an underground MRT station.

Waiting for the next train to arrive. Yep, we had to miss the 1st train, as there was no place for us to squeeze into, it was really packed to the gills. Arrgh!

Here's a pictorial proof that we did go to ION Orchard. Taken at the Orchard MRT station (near the entrance connecting the mall to the underground station). It kinda looked like a Christmas tree (does it, I dunno?)
