One Saturday @ Orchard
If you’re a tourist, I think one of the must-go places to visit is Orchard Road.
But if you live in Singapore like I do, you may not quite go there. Well, we do, but only once every one or two months, may be?
Anyway.
Just like we always do, the four of us spent the whole of Saturday out and about, checking out different places with the kids.
And this time round, we went to Orchard Road.
I mean, we were there for more than SEVEN hours. From lunch to dinner time!
(The kids refused to nap and walked with us throughout the day. And since we didn’t bring along our pram, we heard no whinging about WHO got to sit and FOR HOW LONG *Yay*)
Anyway, here’re some of the stuff we checked out!
We casually sat on the floor and watched this high-energy street performance by Wicked Aura! Love it!
[Tee hee hee … what if they really need to go to the toilet NOW, Mommy?]
We saw this year’s Subaru Impreza Challenge kick off with some 400 contestants in front of Ngee Ann City!
Btw, the rule is, these people have to place their palms on the car for as loonnnggg as they can! (a few minutes break is given every few hours or so). And guess what! Last year’s winner stayed for 81 hours and won himself a Subaru Impreza WRX Sedan!
Now this is an interesting one!
The world’s tallest (30m!) indoor Via Ferrata climbing wall at Orchard Central!
And we looked up till our necks ached while munching our waffles and ice cream at Gelare right below it!
Hmm.
Perhaps we should give it a go one day and conquer our fear of heights!
Anyone?

Memang, salut bgt sama determination mereka. Disini outdoor, dan pas over the weekend kemarin itu thunderstorm, panas dan ada jg ujan berjam2 hampir tiap hari. Imagine that!
Akhirnya yg menang itu than sampe kemarin malem (that’s from Saturday afternoon, to Tuesday night!) gile yaa…
Disini peraturannya yg penting palm ga lepas dari location palm print yg ada di car. Mau jongkok, berdiri, handstand, terserah 🙂 Ga kebayang deh tuh pegelnya and nyut2annya kaya apa …
Acara “touch the car” sudah ada disini (tepatnya di mall Taman Anggrek) beberapa thn yg lalu tuh, kayaknya sekitar 5-6 thn yg lalu..rasanya sih 3 thn berturut-turut deh dng sponsor mobil dari Suzuki..Tapi bebebarapa thn belakangan ini sdh tdk ada lagi..Salut juga sih dengan ketahanan fisik & mental mereka krn sampai 5 hari berdiri terus begitu tanpa tidur (paling dikasih istirahat sebentar2 saja).Tapi disini kan di indoor, sedangkan disitu outdoor..apakah tdk kepanasan? Dan disini hrs berdiri, kok yg disitu boleh jongkok ya? Kalau boleh jongkok mah enak dong?
Nice shots!
