Went on another day with 2 of my friends, one of them, when reached, saw the queue and also that the weather is hot, backed out, so left 2 of us.
Met my friends at one of my friend house at 6.45am, the other friend was late and reach around 7am, and she drove to Harbourfront where she park her car there (her hubby is working there and the parking there is free), then we took the MRT to City Hall. We reach there around 7.45am.
