It was a lazy Sunday morning, so I woke up a bit later than usual. I let my hosts sleep on while I caught up with reading George R.R. Martin’s A Storm of Swords on the soft, fluffy couch. When my hosts were up and ready, we headed straight to IKEA in Alexandra Road. First order of business was to eat brunch. I was super excited to eat in their restaurant and taste their yummy meals. For around 10 sgd, you already get a main course, a drink, and a brownie for dessert!

Didn't get to try them :(

I wanted this meal!

Here comes our food!

Roast chicken for J

Meatballs for JM

Baked salmon for me!

Apple+peach

Dora, is that you?

After the filling lunch at the restaurant area, I was lucky enough to not go too far to find the children’s toys I looked up in the online catalogue. I bought my niece & my goddaughter  a pack of 10 finger puppets. I went around and salivated at the bedsheets, but I opted to not buy anything at the moment since I only packed a backpack for the trip, and that I had friends who were coming over too in a few weeks to buy me the stuff I want! I had time to think things over, but all in all, the IKEA experience is wonderful. How I wish Manila would have a branch.

I'd love to bring 'em home!

Beyond this overpass was a Cotton On store where I got to buy a dress last minute, haha. Headed back to our Commonwealth Ave. apartment to fix my things and then took some obligatory home photos before leaving for the airport.

Thank God for camera timers

Totoro says goodbye to the apt. view

My friend J brought me to the Singapore budget terminal and said my fond farewell. The departure area is not as grand as the Changi airport, but I like it enough for the short wait before boarding.

See-saw

Should've had some coffee

Carebears countdown!

I got airsick on my flight home because there was a bit of turbulence that lasted for quite a while, but luckily, I didn’t have to barf up my snacks and make a mess of myself. My flight was directed to Diosdado Macapagal Airport in Clark, Pampanga, but I didn’t have any problem getting a bus ride home to Manila. A Philtranco bus was waiting for passengers, and we were apparently the last flight in the airport (we landed around 8:30 p.m.). Got home by around 10ish, got off at Cubao, and hailed a taxi home.

My Singapore trip was short and sweet. Hoping to visit Universal Studios when I go back and ride all of the fun rollercoasters! Soon, real soon!
