Last day in Singapore!

Posted by Unknown at 10:00 PM
It was our last day in Singapore. As it was Monday and all cousins have to work, so only 3 of us (me, kee chin and aunt) went out today. Bugis Street and Bugis Junction were our targets. The shops here selling their clothes at very low price. As expected, we bought some clothes here.

Aunt brought us to eat lunch at MOS Burger in Bugis Junction. It is a fast-food restaurant chain that originated in Japan and now the second-largest fast-food franchise in Japan after McDonald's. It owns numerous overseas outlets over East Asia, including Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Indonesia, but there is still zero outlet in Malaysia. =(

We ordered the 'kaisen kakiage rice burger' (fresh seafood shrimp fritter rice burger), the 'buta shoga yaki rice burger' (grilled pork and ginger rice burger), and also 'yakiniku rice burger' (grilled strips of beef rice burger). I liked the second one because it really taste good just like I am in the heaven. Haha~

Sedapnya~~~ 
Before back home, we went to the Guan Yin Temple near the Bugis MRT station. It is a popular temple in Singapore. “Why is the Guan Yin Temple so popular and made it became so crowded with devotees even it was a working day???” This was the question I asked to my aunt.

She told me the legend that during the World War I or II period, when the Japanese fighter planes dropped bombs in Bugis area, all the buildings surrounding and around the temple were destroyed and zero to the ground. The temple was the only left building, un-destroyed, un-touched, that still stands there, firmly.

There were even rumours as well, that the Japanese pilots flying the plane, at that time, could see a bright circle of aura, surrounding the temple, as if a shield protecting the temple. From then onwards, people believes that the Goddess of Mercy had show her power. So till today, the temple is always full of devotees. (p/s: no photo of Guan Yin Temple to share because it is a place for devotees to pray and it’s rude to take photo)

Singapore trip had came to the end at 7pm. It’s time to go back o our own country, Malaysia. Bye bye~
