Book and Food Fair 

I went to two fairs today without planning to so.

Met up with Ryan early in the morning to go to the Navy Open House at Changi Naval Base, but we realized that the Open House was already over as it was only on during the last weekend.

Thus we decided to visit the Food Fair instead as we are so near to The Expo. We were too early for the Food Fair so we went to The Coffee Bean to have a drink and talked awhile sharing bits of our life with each other.

The Food Fair was a disappointment as compared to the previous years as there seems to be less stalls selling cooked food and the layout is a little out. After filling our stomachs at the food fair, we decide to hop over to The World Book Fair at Suntec City.

We initially thought that we were in the wrong exhibition when we entered the exhibition hall as we didn't really see any books around but there were stalls selling Chinese Tea, Toys, Games, Shoes, Bras and even food!

There were only a couple of book stalls around which focused mainly on Chinese books with the rest of the stalls dedicated to religious books and stuff. There were also a couple of stalls featuring China and Taiwan products and I bought a set of tarot cards from a Taiwan publisher.

Met Cauli for awhile at the Book Fair and leaving her to shop alone when we felt hungry again and we went to Marina Square to eat at Burger King. Came back to Suntec and played awhile at the Arcade and I think Ryan is my lucky star coz I kept winning credits at the mahjong game the moment he sat down next to me after he finished his game.

We went for a drink after we left the Arcade and went through my tarot cards. I had very joyful feeling when opening the cards and was pleasantly surprised to find some of the illustrations very appealing.

Ryan left to meet his friends while I waited at Suntec to meet up with Jave, Cold Flames and Fuzionz to have dinner at the Fountain Food Court and to visit the Book Fair - yeap - again! And I bought another set of tarot cards - a 22 card set as the illustrations is quite unique and I don't think is available elsewhere in Singapore.

Had coffee - actually none of us had coffee - at Pacific Coffee and supper at Standford Food Court before heading home.

Had a fun filled Fairs Day!
