After a night's rest, the following morning (on July 25, 2009) I took everybody with me to the MRT station in Central. We are on our way to Vivo City which is on the last station of our train line. That trip to Commonwealth last night came quite useful. Daiso is like a wonderland for some people, at S$2 for any item it’s almost impossible not finding and buying anything you like. This is one of the highlights of this trip for my mom ^_^. I browsed through everything inside the store but refrained from taking photos of the products since there are signs of No Pictures Allowed...

Except for this one on the right. I'm afraid of getting into trouble in a foreign country, it might ruin the rest of the vacation.


Growing impatient while waiting for Ji to arrive, I snapped some photos outside the store, but not too many to conserve battery since we have Sentosa up ahead later...

Ji finally arrived after getting lost via bus, and caught by my digicam! We’re still low on cash due to the turn of events on Day 1. Thankfully, Ji borrowed some cash from Che for us. Thanks guys! We can finally pay our bills at Daiso =^_^=.

However, Ji was somewhat embarrassed and was willing to skip Daiso, of course I felt regretful so we split up with the others and met up after half an hour later. Good thing that Ji has always been fast with her shopping unlike most women I know. After that, we took a quick look around the other shops while waiting for the others.

Upon meeting with the others at around 1pm, we went for lunch at Food Republic. We grabbed a few bites and then I made a trip to the Challenger store to get a generic battery for my digicam before we get moving. This puts us a bit behind schedule but at least not by much. Next, we finally see what all the Sentosa hype is about ;).

Daiso IS a wonderland. :)
It was fun looking around the items in here. Although I must admit that I agree with you when you mentioned at that time that it would have been better if they organized the items in a more orderly manner.
