We took Bus 99 to Clementi Bus Interchange and we had lunch at the Foodcourt inside Clementi Mall. The food there has always been both delicious and economical.
After our lunch, we took Bus 166 to Vivocity. After 25 minutes of bus ride, we reached Vivocity. We alighted and walked to Vivocity via the underground MRT walk way.
Since both THL and I has been looking around for 3/4 jeans, we shopped around for it and THL managed to get hers at Espirit for $50. After nearly 2 hours of walking around, our legs were tired and we took a short tea-break at Saint Marc Cafe which is located nearby Espirit.
After that we continued to shop around and finally at Uniqlo, I found the 3/4 pant that I wanted and since it was only $29 after discount, I bought it without much considerations.
We took a break sitting down at the Vivocity Sky Park enjoying the evening breeze and once RK and I have taken our fair share of the break, both of us went down to Timezone Arcade. I topped up some credits for RK to enjoy the last of his holiday escapade. :D
We had our dinner at a Pizza and Pasta shop which is located inside the Food Republic foodcourt. The pizza was quite good except for its thick layer of dough underneath. THL and RK did not complain about their Fish and Chip so I take it that their food tasted OK. :)
After walking around a bit more, we took Bus 97 to Jurong East Interchange followed by feeder bus home. The entire journey took about 75 minutes. RK and I did not really feel it as we were watching some Youtube movies over my handphone through most part of the journey. :D

Daily Afterthoughts:
Below is the time taken for the bus rides we have taken today and while it does take 1 hour longer across the board - compare to that of driving a car, I still think it is still worth it. If we are in a hurry, we can also hire or book a Taxi. Moreover do not forget that there will be extra time spent looking for parking lots.
