A typical day in Singapore

So, Singapore. The Island of expensive parking spots, ERP congestion charges, HDB flats and weather so humid i almost contemplated going around naked. I must say that Singapore's grass is definately much greener; and no I'm not being sarcastic. It really is greener. The traffic doesn't get congested easily and i went around and around the Island (since Mira got me lost) in less than an hour. The city stretches ad infinitum. There seems to be a never ending row of skyscrapers, especially as you drive by their numerous highways.



Yet, I have to admit that Singapore (as an island) is fortunate to be surrounded by bodies of water. It makes the whole daunting task of being surrounded by gargantuan office blocks just that little less freaky.



However, the heat is real and even the body of water actually contributes to the impossibly high humidity level.



Though I must say that the view was soothing. You catch slow tugboats and tourboats chug-chugging along the river as you sip your ice cold glass of whatever it is you happen to be drinking. I know I had a great time having those long breadsticks waiting for the time to pass. Oh, the photos above and below were taken at the Fullerton hotel, which to me at least, is a hotel which is quite simply, epic.



Driving around the island as the sun sets in the evening is simply sublime. As the cyan coloured sky gradually tints itself to an amber glow it radiates against the structures around it creating a soft sheen of light which permeates around the whole city.



Well, it may look like I was the only one who was in Singapore. Oh, far from it. I was accompanied by two lovely young ladies who made my stay in Singapore that much more interesting. We had a few cameos from old and new friends, but these two ladies were the ones who followed me to Singapore and back. Here they are looking for someplace to eat at the Fullerton:



And here's Mira looking frustrated. She's pissed that we can't find a place to eat.



Here's me and Am. We haven't each other in a year and a half, but the way we still kicked it off like we were still neighbours boggles the mind. We had a great time laughing yeah? Gonna miss you loads babes. Have a good one back home.



On mount Faber the floor lights shimmered eerily in the night sky. We took a few photos and here's how they turned out:



Here's our excellent GPS system in Singapore. Mira's uncle (as in her father's brother, not uncle as in..HOI uncle what you doing..). Thanks Imran for bringing us around town and to the night safari. I'm pretty sure we'd be hopelessly lost without you to guide our collective arses that saturday. Oh and you directing that Bus was funny too. Hahaha.


And here's me on Mount Faber, trying to fly.


And LAST but DEFINATELY not least, here's a picture for my good friend SHERIDAN SULIK. Stay Gay Bro!

Muahahahahaha.... :)

Cheers everyone. And for all of you in Singapore who made my trip that much more interesting thank you so much. A big thank you goes to Mira's mom, and Mummy (Mira's gramma) who gave us a place to stay and food to eat every morning. I am truly humbled by their hospitality. It would never have been the same had i decided to shack up at some swank hotel.

There you have it. More photos will be posted later during the day, but this is tentatively the finished post...so until the next trip, i bid you adieu and goodbye. Have a great Sunday.
