Soon after coming out of the arrival lounge, I found my friend :) It had been a while since I met him last time, and it was only the 3rd time meeting him. But the number doesn't matter. I really feel like relying on him and his family :D I was so glad meeting him again. He carried my luggage and even got me a meal :) We sat and talked to catch up. After that, he brought me to my hotel, and walked with me to the nearest MRT station to show the way, and came back to the hotel again. When he was leaving there, he told me to call him next day at night because his father might be able to bring me to the airport when I leave. Now you must envy me having such a nice friend, lol.
Next day was my first experience being alone in Singapore. There were a few places that I didn't go last time, so I decided to go such places. I also wanted to go to the zoo since we only went to Night Safari last time, but couldn't afford it :S (Maaaaaayyyybe next time~) I went to Little India and Bugis to see Indian temples and a mosque. The Indian temples looked interesting. There are many colourful sculptures outside and inside, and a lot of people were praying, eating and talking. When I went to the first temple, there were some tourists inside. But when I went to the next one, I was the only foreigner there! I was surrounded by Indians!! It felt a bit strange and isolated, lol. But it was nice wandering around Little India because I got to eat some Indian food and bought some accessories as souvenir for my friends :)
After seeing Indian temples, I took MRT again and went to Bugis. I remember my friend's brother called there "Singaporean Harajuku" when they took us last time, lol. Anyway, I didn't go to "Harajuku" firstly, but went to see the mosque. When I got there, I couldn't go inside because it was the time only believers could go in to pray. So, I waited having a lunch at an Indian Pakistan restaurant. After lunch, I took a look of inside of the mosque and walked back toward Bugis station to go to Bugis Village and Bugis Junction. Bugis Village was crazily crowded because it was Sunday. I didn't buy anything there (only juice) but just browsing stuff and people was fun. I also found a soft ice cream that I haven't seen in Japanese McDonald's there, and got one. When I finished it, I moved to riverside to see Merlion again!!! I also wanted to take a look of the lights at Clarke Quay because they are pretty :) I think I spent 3-4 hours walking and sitting riverside area, lol.
