The New Orchard Road
Saturday, April 21, 2007
I was at the heart of Orchard Road on Friday night with a friend. We yak and yak away then as we were walking, we were suprised by the vanishing Scotts Shopping Centre. It is now a bare piece of land. How many things have changed. More new buildings, and I mean shopping buildings, are rising. Which means more shops to spend your moolah.
Buildings and shops are not the only one that are on the rise. I see more of the plain clothes CID officer flocking around. How do I know??? hahaha... Me & friend were sitting gulping our Mac Donald Drink when suddenly a CID office pop out and showed her CID card. Before you get any funny idea, it was not us that they were aiming but a lady with thick make up and revealing clothes sitting near us. I believe that she's from the mainland judging from her accent. We pretend that we were not eavesdropping which in fact we were. Ok Ok call us Kaypoh minahs but we just can't help it. One after another, CID officers came to question the lady. Then we feel that it's time for us to get lost before they too have funny ideas about us.
I was thankful that I had my I/C done although all I had was just a temp slip from ICA before my IC is ready. Just imagine what would happened if I got screened with no Identity Card. Then I will be an illegal immigrant.

Adios
