National Day Squeeze
Thursday, August 09, 2007
I was silly enough to think that Joy and I could get a quiet place around Esplanade. We had lunch at Shimbashi Soba @ Paragon; then acted as bookworms crawling around the shelves in Kino [ Store was having a 20% national day discount and I bought The C. S. Lewis Signature Classics].
After Kino... Me:"Let's go to Fullerton Starbucks. We can see the fireworks from there." Joy was hesitant thinking that the crowd could be really bad. I pushed ahead anyway.
Fast forward travelling on 16...The whole Padang, Esplanade Bridge was super, super packed. It was (almost) impossible, to get to Fullerton Starbucks using the Bridge. We decided to walk from Fullerton Hotel and take the underpass. Wishful thinking. The whole area was either barricaded or plain choked with people. No through passage. Sianz.
Finally found a quiet Billy Bombers in The Central (shopping mall directly above Clarke Quay MRT) where we enjoyed our quiet time.
