After that, we took bus to City Hall. To our surprised, today was the National Day Parade Rehearsal. So most of the road lanes are blocked. At the same time, Terry could catch the preview of Singapore National Day Parade. After that, we walked to CBD area and Singapore oldest market, Lau Pa Sat.

We went to Windy's for our meal. After we had our dinner, we took pictures and also catch the Singapore Army vehicles passing through the road. It was amazing to catch it. Then, we took the train from Raffles Place interchange and transfer Circle line to Esplanade station.
