Sun, sand, dive! - Day 0
DAY 0 : 17-May-2006
It was just a day away from our trip. I have thought of bringing a pouch to carry the important stuff like passports and camera. As it turns out, the pouch which I already have is too small. Sure, I can cramp everything in but it'll be a real feat to take things out easily.
Thus, we went hunting for a pouch. Oh well, not exactly. Our goal for the day was to visit the temple to pray for a smooth and safe journey. I don't quite know the temple's name in English but it's located near Sim Lim Square and Bugis Village. If you know it, you know it. If not, it's no big deal either.
After the temple visit, there was an OG nearby and we dived in to seek shelter from the blazing sun. While walking around inside, we started looking for a waist pouch. A fruitless search. We went to the Timberland in Centrepoint too. Another dead end. We trawled the levels of Robinsons next. We could find almost everything but the elusive prey was not to be found. I recalled a large sports outlet in the same building and we made our way to the directory to locate the shop. There! 3rd floor. I figured that if that sports outlet does not have it, then I'll just have to return emptyhanded.
En route to the sports outlet (it's actually Royal Sporting House), we passed by a shop selling bags on the same level. We made a detour in there and voila! After 15mins of selection, I'm a proud, new owner of a black Vertikal Wallaby waist pouch. Mission accomplished!
I accompanied Dear back to her place and went back to take a shower and pack the final few items. After a final check, I left for her place, where I would spend the night.
Before we slept, we took this picture. I intended to take similar pictures for the following days but we just dropped the idea along the way.
See how happy and excited we were? Little did we know that the nightmare is just about to begin, as soon as the lights go off...
