Day 22 - 23 - Are we in Utopia?
Arriving in Singapore from Delhi is quite an experience, you really do feel like you've arrived into a different world. Singapore airport is quite possibly the cleanest airport I've ever seen and it's such a pleasure to walk through.
It took around 20 minutes to collect our bags, pass through security and arrive at the metro heading into town. One thing which is hard to acclimatise yourself to is the monetary sanctions enforced if caught eating o...
Chapter 1: Half-way
The second half of the epic honeymoon had officially begun and the happy couple were looking forward to the Asian part of of the trip starting with Singapore.
The first night was rather uneventful since they were pretty jet lagged. Their hostel in the centre was not as nice as they had hoped and so they set off on yet another hostel hunt which led them to an area called Little India where they found a friendly hostel to their liking. "They only have dorms fo...
We got ****ed last night on passion pop playing ring of fire then had to be up at silly o clock this morning to get to the airport. We get there, try to check in and are refused because we've no onward flight or journey from singapore so no proof we're leaving so we go away n book a train n come back and all is well in the world again. We then realise that we're ****ing retards and that the flight to darwin we're on goes onwards to singapore but instead we're getting off at cairns and hanging...

... New York, hitting a new minimum for that benchmark.
Best results are achieved by bargaining using Singlish - the informal spoken Asian-English indigenous to Singapore. Standard English grammar rarely applies. Grammar, tenses and plurals are usually abandonned for a more direct rhythmic sound. Economy is the order with sentences ...

Hi everybofy,
after Bangkok I took a flight to Singapore to apply for a new visa for thailand. I slept by an old friend from the engineering school. Unfortunately I fell ill again and had to stay quiet for ...
... spot to unpack for a few days!
the first thing we did was have a quick wash before tearing off towards the vietnamese embassy which would be closing shortly for the weekend, and seein as we were in dire need of a vietnamese visa, which can take up to a week to prepare, we had to motor! we arrived ten minutes after the visa desk closed but thankfully they decided to take our passports and said we could collect them the following thursday! we got ****** on on the way ...
... into tears! Worth all our efforts!
To thank us for the arrangement, Daddy LO gave us a dinner treat at Thai Pan which is nearby at the Changi Civil Service Club. Mommy SN was still wondering and wondering what was going on! Haha...that was fun!
After dinner, all of us went back to the chalet for our durian session, we chatted till quite late!
Day 2: 22 August 2009 (Saturday)
The kids woke up early, as usual, and all of us were going to Changi ...
... in Singapore called Daphne who was a lovely person as well as her family. She and her husband Anthony have a wonderul 2-year old toddler that Emily and Lucy delighted in entertaining. We took a stroll around East Coast park which looked like California (despite the fact the sea was littered with hundred of tanker boats) where topless joggers and tandem bike riders enjoyed themselves while roller bladers dodged them.
They then took us to a Japanese restaurant ...
... had a sense of humor as it sprayed half the ride with its trunk. We headed back to town on the shuttle for our last night and flight the next day.
We started the day packing our bags knowing that we had a flight early afternoon. As we went through things we couldn't find our passport wallet. On looking through everything we found that we had lost all the important documents, Passports, driving licenses, flight tickets and bank cards. We were angry and frustrated, its a ...
... of the salesman to throw in extras like memory cards, I saved over $200!).
Singapore has green cityscapes everywhere, but as my friend Chris explained, the cleanliness and expertly manicured greenery was only possible because of the numerous migrant workers and a two-tiered wage structure. We were so lucky to have a local take us around on Sunday ...
... hopped in a cab and headed into town. We stopped at a hawker center (the one where Travis and I got noodles on our first day last time) for dumplings, leek pancakes, teh ais, and chili sting ray (YUM). Then we headed over to Little India - Kent had some shopping at the Mustafa Center, and then we got mee gorang, roti paratha, and honeydew juice. I declare mission success. :o) Seriously? This was SO MUCH FUN. I love running off to Singapore for the weekend! I ...
