Highlights in Singapore

There is no way I can put in text all the great things I experienced here in Singapore. But there are some that is worth mentioning before I completely escapes my mind.

Me and Skotten went on a tour the other day. Just close to where we live in mt Faber lodge is a park. The stranded ship on the picture is actually a restaurant in that very park. Further up the park is a cable car station which is really nice. Of course we took the cable car to Sentosa which is pretty much a fairly big amusement park with a lot of nice attractions. Unfortunately we didn't take the opportunity to ride the downhill carts, but we did go to underwater world. It's a small aquarium with alot of
sharks and other cool sea creatures, very touristy but nevertheless quite
fun to watch. We took a stroll down the dragon hike too which was a really corny place claiming to have dragon fossils, dragons that was turned into stone and stuff. We had some good laughs walking that trail.



Another thing really worth mentioning is the cinemas over here. In Vivo city mall they have gold class cinemas. This is an exclusive cinema for only 20-30 people at a time, but jeez, the standard was awesome. They had REALLY comfy chairs the size of a smaller couch which was fully adjustable to more or less lie down and watch the movie. It was awfully cold in there, but we had blankets to keep the warmth. Best of all was the call button :P Just press it and a waiter comes even during the film and took your order for food, drink and snacks. Awesome! The movie was "The Guradian" which was an ok movie, but it got a hell of alot better with the overall experience from watching it in gold class, courtesy Martin who took us there.

Another great experience was when Martin and Aryn took us to a special place down Marina South for a fantastic sea food dinner. The place had loads of aquariums where you could actually pick out the very fish, or crab you would like to have for dinner :D I think we had about 5 different dishes, all gourmet stuff. The main course was a huge crab which Aryn poses with. I wouldn't want to meet one of those while having a swim.


Stop the press! Skotten actually sang karaoke yesterday when we went to Boat Quay to party a little. All the time being here, he has whined about not wanting to sing. Well, he did, and not just one song, he had a show going with Wonderwall by Oasis to mention just one. The others I can't really remember ^^ We had a good time in the bar called Bedroom. I suspect Skotten had a really good time, since he even made out with the manager.

Hm, there is probably more I should mention here, but now I really really need to sleep since it's already 2.30 am down here.
Take care you all

Change of plans

Yours truly have changed the travelling plan a bit, there is a story to it too of course :)

I will stay in Singapore for 10 more days, leaving the 26th of November to New Zealand via Bali and Sydney. Aryn's special ala carte menu, that I mentioned earlier was delicious I have to add. We actually did go out later that night to some really nice dance clubs. One was called Forbidden City which had some really cool live shows with dancers and drummers. The other one was by far the best place I've ever been to, it's called Attica and is Aryn's regular club. Through her we got VIP status and got in for free, and had immediate access to the members only area :P
It was dancing all night long til we dropped listening to great music. All in all it was a fantastic evening, one I will never forget. I didn't even have to use my phone card memory stick to remember it ;)

By the way, I managed to do it again... catching the famous summer cold. Now how the hell can you get a cold in 30 degrees heat you might ask. Easy! Airconditioners can be really tricky if you turn them down too cold, and of course I managed to do just that. First time was in Japan and I thought I had learned from my mistakes. But history teches us that we never learn from history, so...
Now I'm gonna go to bed a get some sleep and recover a bit.
