First we had lunch had Hock Lam. WHA the one at China Sq is more ex than the one at Purvis lorr. After lunch we went to see the old old old old temple opposite Far East Square but it was so overwhelmed with joss smoke that I stood outside to wait. King said it says no photography inside. I had this idea to take a pic of the twirling joss sticks with the shadows, but too much urban clutter.
Then I said I wanna go Smith Street to take some shots, so we trudged there. After taking some shots (as you will see later), King pointed at the quaint looking apartments near Outram and went "HEY! CAN WE GO THERE?!?" so we went, and unwittingly went up Pearl's Hill and took a walk around the hill. We didnt take any photos up there, but it was a really nice walk. It's quiet and quite a nice hideout. Hahaha.
We then decided to go up Benjamin Sheares bridge. We walked to Suntec, then took a super long time to find the staircase up the Rochor exit. We had to walk through some construction site, trudge through loads of sticks and twigs and dead leaves, then up the staircase, and by the time we had to start our ascend, I was so tired and my shins were super tired and stretched and *WILLPOWER WILLPOWER WILLPOWER, GEAR ONE!!! GEAR ONE!! UPPITTEE UPPITTEE UP!!!* so by the time we reached the top for a good view of the Flyer, we slumped on the side of the pedestrian walkway to catch a breather. We stoned up there for quite long before coming down again. It was nice, soaking in the evening sun~
