Mercure Johor Palm Resort & Golf Johor Bahru

... first night out of the trip! Headed to Raflles to knock back one very expensive Singapore Sling and throw monkey nuts on the ground! Then to Clarke Quay for less expensive drinks by the river! Very trendy bars! A massive fight broke out in one of the clubs! Throwing tables and chairs and all! The band stopped and lights came on immediately! Dramatic! Chatted to two boys from the Philipinnes for the night and a crowd ...

... a bar to have a drink, I ordered a glass of white wine and was brought a small bottle and charged double the price on the menu - luckily it was delicious! We went off to Sentosa beach for a bit of R&R, Roger enjoyed watching all the ships in the huge port area. It is the Singapore Arts Festival so we watched the Indonesian dancers in the largest of the shopping malls and also an Australian dance/acrobatic group with their interpretation of the end of the world ...

... opened - it was just fantastic walking along the beach getting soaked and watching millions of small rain drops just bouncing off the waters surface, I love the heavy rain here - probably because it passes so quickly. Lara and I were swimming in the sea with the rain falling, lightening flashing and thunder the loudest I have ever heard, it was magical, and just a little bit scary too. So nearing the end now, a few nights here then back to Singapore before flying home.

... Wir haben also einen O-Saft und ein Wasser geschluerft und uns ueber die Abkuehlung durch die Klimaanlage gefreut. Eine weitere Besonderheit in der Long Bar ist, dass man die Schalen der Erdnuesse, die auf jedem Tisch stehen, auf den Boden werfen kann. Entsprechend kruemelig ist der dann auch. Ist eine seltsame Tradition, die wohl nur deshalb so besonders ist, weil man sonst in Singapore wirklich NICHTS auf den Boden fallen lassen darf. Die Strafen sind ...

... After that we strolled around the science centre which was good fun then went to see an imax movie. Singapore is split up into different sections for different races and it has the best shopping ever. So john and I thought that we might be cheeky and get ourselves a laptop for Christmas. We walked through this amazing shopping centre about 4 floors of just selling ...

... of the journey. The last two days at the hospital have dragged on a bit. The days seem to take an age to finish, although Dr Tham gives us long lunch breaks which is handy. We're sick of the canteen food and I think if I eat another curry there it will actually take the inside of my mouth off its so hot, so we went to Pizza Hut yesterday lunchtime and today we went to City Square and I got some sushi. I was feeling adventurous and got some octopus as one of ...

... emang pusatnya kalee ya, sebab kan rata rata dvd bajakan yang beredar tukh dengan teks bahasa melayu. hehehehehe. Cuman mahal ya bow. sebiji 6 RM. wiidiiiihhh! di Glodok mah udah dapet 2 tukh! Enaknya, disini kita bisa dapetin barang yang sekwalitas di Singapore tapi dengan harga yang lebih miring sedikit! Mungkin Johor Bahru bisa dijadiin sampingan kalo masih ada waktu di Singapore dan nggak tau mau kemana lagi.

... We get on the flight at the very last minute and head to an uncertain future in Sandakan. Our diving is scheduled for the next day in Semporna and there's no way to know if we can get there. On the flight I met some interesting fellows from France. Sitting beside me was "Slim", a French guy getting his MBA in Singapore. He was so nice...definitely not your stereotypical French person. Of course maybe he thought the same of me! In ...
