It was Scott’s day and our last full day in Singapore. As
the birthday boy, he wanted to enjoy our last day together relaxing. Sy was
happy because for the past 4 days, he’s been saying, “Can we just stay home?!”
Unfortunately for Sy, we needed to eat lunch and found ourselves walking to the
hawker stalls. After lunch, we picked up some snacks for the trip back to LA. It
was a somewhat relaxing afternoon. The kids went a little stir crazy and needed
to move so we sent them down to the pool. They worked up a nice appetite for
birthday dinner.
Grandpa took us on a mystery trip for dinner. We only ever
knew where our next stop on the MRT was and then followed him to the restaurant.
It was also in a part of town we had not visited yet, Clark Quay. This is the
part of the Singapore River where, in the olden days, the boats would come in
and unload their goods. Quay is like a wharf or pier. Well, that was then, and
now, it’s a very upscale area with expensive hotels and restaurants and
electric bumboats made to look like the old ones that would be used to ferry
supplies to and from ships.
Café Iguana was the first Mexican food we had
the whole trip and it was tasty.
After the meal, we strolled along the river
and meandered over
to another icon of Singapore, the Merlion.
It is a lion head with a fish tail.
We watched the light show we’d seen from Marina Bay Sands from the back side. It
was a different show. You could still hear the music, but the show was lights,
lasers, and water and less dramatic than the movies projected on water you
could watch from the other side.
Super enjoyable evening celebrating Scott and culminating our
time together as a family in Singapore!
When we got home (around 11pm), we had to pack and set our
alarms to wake up at 3:45am! (:
