Wheel on The Bus

Anthea and Anders Love to ride on Double Decker Buses. Each time if we take a bus from our home to the interchange, they will want to go upstair if it is a double decker bus.

Today, after clearing my usual house chores, i told Adrian that we can make a trip to Orchard as i need to get some Citric Acid from Tangs. We bought a Zojirushi Airport a few months ago from Tangs, the sales person recommended the acid for cleaning the internal of the airport.

So we decided to take a Bus 132 from AMK to Orchard, when we were at the bus stop, we saw the GPS system and it was really impressived. It show the schedule of buses arriving at the bus stop and it was ON-TIME. So i guess the recent raise in bus fare may be for this purposes. Currently i think only a few town has this GPS system and AMK is one of them.

When we boarded the bus, both of them were very excited and quickly went upstair. It was quite a fun ride for them and also a good yardstick to judge of they can take Coach Tours.. : 0


We alighted at Far East Plaza and took a walk to Tangs. After getting the citric acid, we headed to Republic Food Plaza for lunch. The children had "la mian" and i had beef noodles.

When we were done with lunch, we took a walk to Takashimaya. The children wanted to see toys and i wanted to see the mooncakes sales at the square. I was so glad i went there, i found the famous Hong Kong 恆香老婆餅 selling at the square. I bought 2 mooncakes and a box of 老婆饼.

After buying the mooncakes, i went to the toy section to look for the children and as usual they were having a good time browsing the toys.

For teabreak, we had Macdonalds and they were happily chatting away. We left Takashimaya around 3.30pm for home.

We took the MRT back and it was much faster than the bus.. hehe : )

Anders had his nap, so i stayed home with him for dinner while Adrian and Anthea joined the extended family for dinner.

As there was an Encore telecast of High School Musical 2, i did what i should have done last Sunday - Recorded it.
