SG Diaries Day 4.1: The Singapore EXPO, IKEA and Giant
Singapore EXPO is known for its huge EXPO halls and conference halls. This is the venue of our CFC-SFC International Conference 2016. This is the very first time of SFC to hold an International Conference outside the Philippines.
As expected, it is more pricey and the most convenient and less hassle conference I ever had with CFC-SFC. This is also the first time for my full-time missionary sister to be a participant and not as a member of the service team.
And not to mention the first time for us to experience authentic Singaporean dishes served in an exquisite disposable lunch box, which I bet a lot of Filipino friends would agree with me that it looks too pretty to be thrown away, lol.
Just me. Grateful that I am here and was able to attend the conference. |
The crowd |
This is Day 1 of the conference and our day 4 in Singapore. Our generous host scheduled a shopping day at IKEA Singapore and at GIANT. These shops were located at Tampines.
They have the cheapest goods so far if you'll compare the price at Chinatown, Bugis, Orchard Lucky Plaza and Mustafa in Farer Park. Fewer shoppers, bigger place, and opens until 11PM!
