Differences

The plan for today was to visit the Air Force Museum.

This involved bussing to Kallang MRT, then train to Eunos, then 194 to the museum.
Thence to discover that it is not open on Mondays.

I should have realised that would happen; I recall that the army museum is not open on Mondays, so it kind of figures. So I caught the 190 to Toa Payoh; this is a train/bus interchange.

What a major difference to the previous disaster of a bus station! This one made sense, the bus points had two routes each, not three, and they had coloured arrows tiled on the floor, red and yellow, so you knew exactly where lines went. Also the lines folded back, so the ends were near the starts and easy to get to as there was nobody queued up. This bus terminal was a joy to transit through.

Then into the city to find something to eat. Since everybody blogs about dining out; I ate at the Asian Civ Museum restaurant, Chino something or other, their selection of vegetarian was small, i.e. one; greek salad focaccia, this was so-so, too much aubergine and capsicum - these need to be peeled before being served! The drink, a 'sunset' was nice, for desert the chocolate brownie; the brownie was a bit dull but okay when drowned in cream and choc sauce, the ice cream was beautiful though. All for $40; a bit steep, huh?

Then a walk around Canning Hill; love that park.

But all in all, a day wasted, when I have so few left here.
