A surprise at Boat Quay?

My friend from Taiwan is visiting, so I ran him all around from Bugis Junction to National Library to Raffles Hotel to Raffles City to Boat Quay to Clarke Quay and back to Fairmont Hotel all in one day. I am thankful to be alive, though my feet are quite upset with me.

While strolling at Boat Quay (me secretly looking for a foot massage place but unfortunately, SOME people are too ticklish), we ran by a restaurant that featured carved out melons! It's too bad that they don't sell wooden versions of these because doing it in fruit seems like such a waste, but nevertheless, the hostess allowed me to take a picture (because I'm clearly a tourist today instead of a questionable-local). 

Of all the (TV show) Heroes powers, I think one of the greatest ones was the girl who could learn anything by just watching it being done once. Just imagine! Me being able to do that double back tuck......or being able to carve melons.
