SINGAPORE Day 7

Everytime Kai has gone to Fort Canning, it rained torrentially, this time was no exception. We've been having rain and thunderstorms forecasted for the last 3 days and it hasn't rained. We took the bus to Dhoby Ghaut, walked a little way to Tiong Bahru Bakery, through a little bit of Fort Canning Link road with a light drizzle.
Whilst we were having delicious croissants and coffee for breakfast, it started to rain. By the time we finished breakfast, it was torrential with lightning. We had to abandon the plan.

We went to Lavender instead as there were some information to be gotten from Immigration and Checkpoint Authority. Lunch was at North Bridge Hawker Centre. We walked from ICA under covered walkways to the centre. The rains did not cease. We went to Aperia shopping centre to kill time as we were seeing Ruby's aunt at 2pm.

We visited Ruby's 95 year oldest aunt and were given more food and local fruit for afternoon tea. It was hilarious to see Aunty because she was completely with it but stone deaf. It felt like we were in Spain again with the loud conversations, and everyone talking at the same time.

I had an appointment at Maxwell at 4.15pm, Cousin Grace kindly drove us back to the accommodation to get dry socks before heading to Maxwell. After the appointment we walked to Chinatown and weaved in and out of shops.

Dinner was at Sin Swee Kee chicken rice.
