My friend and I decided to sign ourselves up for a day of Treasure Hunt jointly organised by SMRT and Tampines Community Club. It had us mad-chasing around the city of Singapore and playing games with the station masters at various locations. Hey, look! It's Esplanade, looking like two giant durians.
It was scorching hot, and was a really clear day. It was nice to be able to enjoy the many buildings in the city especially during noon, when i'm usually indoors.
One of the tasks at the station in Singapore Art Museum was to have our treasure-hunting group pose for a photo and we could get our next clue.
Chijmes was one of our stops. This stunning place is a happening area because its entire area is filled with restaurants and bars. Think Japanese, Thai, Italian, Chinese, American, Indian....all sorts of cuisines are crammed into Chijmes, and this place is filled with locals and foreigners once the sun sets.
It appeared as if i've transported myself to Europe in Chijmes. It used to be a convent school many years ago. It was once the Convent of Holy Infant Jesus, established in 1854. Now everything has changed, but it is a good thing that they have restored this place and retained most of its charm.
