First time out of the country.
We arrived at noon but had to go out later in the afternoon after a heavy downpour.
The first place we visited was Mustafa in Little India and immediately, my mother and I noticed the underground passages across buildings.
Singapore is a city of underground shopping malls!

We stayed at a hotel in Geylang, a district that has so many bad connotations that we got a lot of "why are you staying there?" from taxi and van drivers.
That's too bad, because it's still a nice place.

My cousin May who just turned 25.

She came home early from work wearing this dress and I couldn't resist.
Her only request: no face.
