For once, i woke up early at 7am in the morning. ( I usually wake up at around 3pm in the afternoon) I took a 45 minutes train ride from Simei to Chinatown MRT stations, spending most of the time been squeezed by the worker crowd. The train ride seems to be longer than expected in the morning. I arrive at the Lim Chee Guan 'bak kua' store at 8 am when i was surprised by the long queue which was like a street away from the shop itself. It's pretty scary to hear that some people have already started queueing since 6am. I just find it unbelievable about how many Singaporeans are willing to queue as long as 4 or 5 hours to buy 'bak kua'. The interesting part occurs when the Channel 8 news crew came down as well to interview the people who were in the queue. Oh man! I was like trying my best to avoid the camera beside it would be so embrassing if my face appear on the news. Worse, been recognised!


the queue was already like a street away from the shop by the time i reached,
fortunately there were shades to shelter us from the sun,
After long hours of waiting, i finally accomplished my mission of purchasing 8 kg of 'bak kua'. I guess it works the same way for 'bak kua' that people choose to purchase branded Rolex watches than ordinary Casio watches. Afterall, it's the brand which matters most.
In the evening, i joined the life group for a reunion dinner at TPJC favourite hangout 'Zhi Char' store. It feels damn great to have 9 people sitting around the table having a dinner together. The best part was that there was desert wine at almost the end of the meal, which is so interesting! 'Zhi char' with desert wine, an interesing combination! After that, we went to buy ice cream and stuff fromt eh petrol station before heading to the Promise Land ( the park opposite Wei en's place) to chill out.

To sum up everything up, the day was fabulous!
