Explorers In the East

After sending Asher to his first Shichida Method enrichment class, San Yi and us drove to E!Hub at Downtown East. The entertainment centre has been opened for months but none of us has visited it! On approaching the venue, we were awed by its Cadbury branded Ferris Wheel near its main entrance. This place sure looks fun! We hurried in to check out its ticket price. Our jaws dropped when we heard its charges. $6.50 for 4 min ride! That means it costs $1.625 per min. God! Even more expensive than Singapore Flyer which costs only $0.983 per min! I'd rather splurge the money on the observation wheel which offers more aerial and breathtaking views. I wanted to send Rynae to Explorer Kids but was also turned off by its steep ticket pricing. $22/child/entry/hour and each adult has to pay $1.50 to get in. I refuse to succumb to this extortion. We didn't stay long there as there simply wasn't much to entertain us. How could such a place sustain if there isn't interest and human crowd? I'll bet with my last dollar that the tenants' accounts will be seeing red soon.

We thought of settling dinner at the nearby Fisherman's Village. As it was still early, we allowed Rynae to play in the sandy children's playground and also had a short walk on the beach. Our growling stomach hurried us to fill it up hence we began our search for the Fisherman's Village, which all of us haven't gone for years. After half an hour of futile search, we still couldn't locate it. Six sense told us that it has been demolished. Indeed it is! We finally found a location map which has the spot 'Fisherman's Village' blanco off. When did this happen and where was the publicity? None of us had a clue. All of us were famished then and we make do with a seaside restuarant, Summer Breeze. Their food's not too bad. The whole day out has tired Rynae, who fell asleep in the car... all the way to the next morning, without a bath. *Yucks*
