My Princess Diary

OpEn HoUsE

Istana open house today!!
so we went!!!!!!!!!!!
with dear mama tagging along.........coz dear asked her to come along
=))

we went there ard 11 plus and i was so worried tt the open house was not today!!!
muahaha
scare i read wrongly from the papers
but luckily......it was opened lor

was very crowded and also hot but also windy lor
we went into the "white house" but have to pay an admission fees of $2 each
dear paid of course
muahaha
he exclaimed "$2 for the aircon, very worth it"
only get to walk 1 round at 1st storey. not allowed to go further up

we walked one rd the premises of the istana
and dear tested me on the way out "what is the 4 main areas in the istana?"
and i proudly went "fountain, victoria fountain, japanese fountain and main building"
dun asked me, we saw the 4 directional signs lor

u want to know whether the president is in his office?
just looked out for the red flag with the crescent and the 5 stars hanging at the tallest pt of the building!!!
it supposed to be flying up there from 8am to 6pm everyday (coz tts when the president is supposed to start work and knock off) and when u see the flag not there, well, it just simply means tt he has gone home.......hehehe

istana = palace........(in malay)

so end of the day, i have to say, go once can already, no need to go many many times......
nothing much to see
but at least its an eye opening visit for me
=))
i have not been there before......
so got to thank dear again for making this trip....

after the open house, we went to the Plaza Singapura to have our lunchie
THAI EXPRESS
i didn;t have tt for a very long time
since a bad experience with u know who at the "durian"
poor service and horrible food
but surprisingly, this time round, the service is ok and the food too!!
wow!! must have listen to the feedback!!!
which is very good.......

keep up the good work!!
