We stayed at one of her classmate's grandmother home - Molly. Molly in her young days sold frozen chicken wings along the street and now owns a huge retailer and wholesaling : http://mollys.com.sg/en/content/4-our-story ( the little girl next to the lion head is Marina's school friend Kealea (mix of American and Singapore)https://www.facebook.com/MollysNonyaCakeAndConfectionary


A bit of my notes:



We has a real good flight to Perth.i was scared that if there was another hiccup; it would have scared marina from taking planes and travelling down the track. I guess we both learn to eat simple and also have sufficient rear before taking off. We still had a very stressful afternoon for getting things done at the last minute and especially replacement of bathers was required. In the future,  allow one more day before departure is essential . Glad that I cancelled Mum's 4pm dentist appointment otherwise it was far too hard to manage. 
The breathing exercise did help and I should have done more. 

Arriving in Singapore at 11pm. the arrangement for getting on taxi at the airport is extremely well organised. The taxi fare is cheap and the apartment Molly has was superb, I got to stay at the right time as it was just being rennovated.  Marina is so well organised with her belonging during the unpacking stage; we did bit have pj in our packing list so need to add. 
Everything is new , clean and modern and apparently Molly let us have a bigger room and bed ; their shop open almost the whole night with vans coming and going to do delivery and getting stuff. 
It was the first morning when marina slept in until almost 1pm. I guess if she had not got enough sleep
She will not have energy to enjoy doing things. 
I walked down to the shop and was totally amazed by the range if products the shop sell, some homemade and some they do retail . 
Helen and Molly were not well
After their Korea trip. Kraken seems a bit reserved and u guess the story will
Be different when marina is up . It is a dilemma with travelling, staying with someone is more relaxing and can understand how local people live bit may not be able to do things freely as u wish; but pure visitors may tire u out too much by doing more than your body  can take.
I had a stroll
Around the block which had appeared liked TAi Wai bit eating place open early with mixture of all types of food, price definitely is so cheap. Just getting around here will give us a few things to buy and bring back home.
