Singapore NN Awards China Town Tour : Visited somewhere others blogger didn't ^^

Before I start my post here,

Everyone please support my friend FOO Photobucket for his newly established BLOG !!!
* I'm not paid to promote him :P *

Well, it seems that I procrastinated my Singapore Nuffnang Awards Day tour post too long. Some how I feel guilty which explain why this post is written . :)

First of all, I have to express my thankfulness to Lyner (Sorry if I spelled wrongly) and Singapore Nuffies for getting me and Sam into Group C for the day tour as we were separated from our crowd/gang.

* Face of Samuel slept an hour only for the night before the Day Tour.

In case you guys can't remember, it was Sam that invited me as his guest for the NNawards trip =]


The first destination of the day : Chinatown Heritage Centre

Photobucket

Chinatown Heritage Centre houses a wealth of memories and untold stories from the past. Discover the secrets and chronicles of migrants who made the perilous journey from their homeland to Singapore.

* It really reminds me of being in the past now *

The next destination would be the URA Muzium...
But but.....


We spotted this temple on the way walking to URA Muzium.

It looks damn nice but we are not arranged to visit this temple in the schedule.

This is also the place that blogger did not get to visit. But but...
I manage to visit it with Sidney and Stephen guide after my lunch which I got extra 30 mins.


Photobucket

It's really a nice spot for photo shoot I will say :)

Anyway, I'm a Buddhist....

So I should go in and pay respect to Buddha :)

Photobucket
The hall is so Dignified.

Not to mentioned that we are allowed to walk in with our shoes and the hall is equipped with air-conditioner.

Photobucket

It's an exact place for tourist to visit,pay respect and rest at the same time.

Anyway, I find no ways to get to the upper floor of the temple. Therefore we just visited around the hall and the back part of the temple.

* Dragon Sculpture to protect the temple *

As we walk out from the temple, we still have some time left. We have a walk around Chinatown before heading to meet the crowd.

Here's some shot of Chinatown...
