my mom has been visiting me for about a month.
she has visited spore for many times but she has not really feel the way people in spore live. she never ride mrt or bus while she were here before this. also she never went to some interesting places (except orchard road) or visit wet market.
during weekdays i left her all day so i always tried to ask her out for dinner. either in food courts (warteg) both in malls or hawkers in many-many different places, went to fine dining (once a week hehehe), walk through the river side in clark quay and enjoyed the bad indonesian cuisine, eat indian crispy prata in thomson road, briyani rice and milo dinosaurus in mustafa center, etc. so almost every night we went home late.
we spent weekends for places like china town, mustafa center, singapore botanical garden, chinese garden, esplanade, merlions and the malls around it including the fountain of wealth, spent a day in sentosa island, crossing the causeway to johor bahru just to enjoy cheap-cheap meals and stuffs and or course .. orchard road. ah .. she likes the 1 dollar "es potong" :)
btw she said that she never imagine she can cope with walking all the way in singapore. we walked from the esplanade to the clark quay mrt station as we walked through the riverside that evening. she even reached the 6th storey of the pagoda in chinese garden and she's so proud about it. here she cannot ask an ojek (motorcycle taxi) to take her if she's tired. also taxi fares is so high that make us think twice :)
she looks so happy. she said many times that she never saw singapore as she see it now and she never walked this far before.
