After lunch, CH and I set off to Golden Mile in search of sulphur which YK wanted for his chemistry experiment. There are lots of little shops that sell army stuff in the area, so it was easy to find sulphur which is used by soldiers to ward off snakes in the jungle.
It's a rather hip area where youngsters go to for shoes and street wear. We came across some skirts with retro prints and CH immediately urged me to try. Finally he bought me these two. They were only $10 each!
There are lots of nice food stalls at Golden Mile Food Centre. Since we've had lunch, we settled for ice cream. We've read about Ice Queen and my sister in law was raving about it last week, so die die we must try!
The lady at the counter was really friendly and kept offering us samples to try. Finally we settled on a combination of 3 flavours - black sesame, durian and lychee sorbet - for $3.80! In other ice cream palours, one flavour can set you back by about $5, here we can enjoy 3 scoops!
I love the sesame ice cream the best. It's very fragrant and you can taste bits of sesame seeds, bursting with nutty flavour when you bite into them. The other 2 flavours are fine but not outstanding. These are freshly made everyday without any eggs. They're also low in sugar and fat, so healthy too!
After indulging in ice cream, we had to walk off the calories. We roamed around Arab Street and Haji Lane. Here are some of the photos taken along the way.

Btw, when I told Arttu that your body size was considered "big" in Singapore, he was SHOCKED!!!! HE HE HE HE HE...because according to him, you're normal-sized. :-))) IMO you've got a nice body since you have two teenage boys already, you know? :-)))

Tell CH THANK YOU for the tips about the store in Sim Lim Square. We did go there again and R2 found a computer game to try out in Finland he he he...He is SO happy! ;-D
Hi Amel! You're back in Finland? It was my pleasure to have you over. I wish I had more time to bring you guys around or go for seafood dinner.
I'm glad R2 found what he's looking for. That makes his trip even more worthwhile.
And thanks for the compliments. I'm sure you have loads of catching up to do now that you're home after such a long time. Have a good rest and stay in touch!
Hey Amel, we were waiting to hear your signature "HE HE HE HE HE" but never once heard it :-)
My pleasure to help a fellow computer geek!
You know BT, those are really excellent pictures :D I especially liked the one where the tree was growing our of the shop house ...
Oh Nick, thank you! That means I don't have to change my camera.
It looks like you had a fab day.
Like the skirts. Healthy ice-cream?! Heaven!
