The homestay!!! Well it wasn't as exclusive of a view into the life of a Singaporean as I thought, but it was wonderful. Elliot, Elaina, Jared, and I spent Saturday night at George's HDB (public housing flat) in Northern Singapore. We started our day near City Hall, walking around the area. Then lunch at a Hiananese Chicken Rice restaurant. It was lovely good Hainanese Pork Chop!
After that meal, we went to Ah Chew Desserts - a place that sells only desserts... not like Sugarland but it sells a variety of pastes.. yum delectable pastes! Then we went to a boardgame cafe!! Marvelous enterprise - I'm intending to start a franchise on Franklin Street. We had Milo Dinosaurs (ovaltine chocolate milk with loads of the powder on top!) and Sparkling Kiwis (7up and Kiwi syrup). 
It was a blast! We played great games like Ugly Dolls - a matching game where you try and flip over three alike ugly dolls then scram to pick up the cards and then my favorite -TABOO Singapore Style! The cards included terms such as "Racial Harmony - Not able to use Indian, Malay, Chinese, Other, or Tolerance" and "Asian Civilizations Museum..." clearly I will think it's more humorous having experienced all the cards.
Then we went to Zouk - a club for some quality night life. 
Slept in at George's. Woke up and saw Malaysia from my room. The flat was two-stories very nice, despite the fan blade at my head level in the shower - it was a very safe environment. We watched Cantonese Soap Operas all morning and then went to have some Nasi Lemak (coconut rice with fish paste) at a hawker center nearby. Then we piled into the Toyota Wish an 8 person clown van with self-parking!! At the top is a family pic of the bunch plus the Fu ShengJie's.
