My second full day in Singapore was fantastic, hung out with my new pal Catherine that I met at my hostel. We went to the famous Raffles Hotel and had a Singapore Sling in the Long Bar.. you'll notice I said 'a' Singapore Sling.. they were S$22 (about $16) each.
Had a coffee.. first one since I left the UK.. mmmmmmmmm latte. Sentosa Island was our next stop, basically a huge tourist attraction full of tacky tourist things, but they had a bit of a beach there which was nice, even if it looked a bit man-made.
Back to the Chinatown night market where we had yummy wonton noodle soup and veggies... and then my good friend/former co-worker Bernie, who was passing through town on a familiarization trip, called me and we were able to get together! We had planned this for this date from before I left Canada, but when I emailed her close to the date and didn't hear back, I was afraid I had missed her.. good thing I got a mobile phone here and she was able to reach me :)
We met up after Catherine and I parted ways for the evening, had a good chat and had a yummy fruit juice at one of the stalls in Chinatown, before heading home for the night. Lots of big hugs from her as well of course.
I was able to have a chat with Matt last night to report on how well the day was going, that was nice. :)
Next morning.. brings us to right now. I slept all of 4 hours last night, perhaps I was wound up from my day.. now I' m tired :( Hopefully I'll sleep on the train tonight.
