A Looooong Weekend in Singapore

2 March 2008
Sunday

Nope, it definitely wasn't a holiday. I surely wished it was since I badly needed one. At any rate, I think that the trip was okay.


Saturday, Feb 23
Arrived in the afternoon from Manila. Stayed at Fairmont Hotel.











Went to the Night Safari in the evening.

  • Tram ride was a good experience. One of them damn deer got run over after that mini stampede. Good thing it turned out still alive and manage to still run away.
  • Dinner at Ulu Ulu Restaurant was sumptuous! As usual, I gorged on Japanese food although I had a few Chicken Tandoori... yummy. For dessert, I splurged on ice cream.
  • My tummy felt funny. Good thing we arrived on time at the hotel before my innards gave way. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Mass at the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd
.
Lunch at Hard Rock Cafe

  • Food was okay but service was slow.
Visited the Science Center

Monday, Feb 25
Attended a talk and walkthrough at SMU (Singapore Management University) Checked out the National Museum of Singapore
  • They have this "companion" gadget that serves as your own private tour guide. Real cool. I like the way they presented things in that museum. Not too interactive yet very informative.

Shopping at Fun Nam for those techie stuff. I got myself a Sony Cybershot DSC-T70 at half the price here in Manila. The PS3 is roughly Php16K there.


Whole afternoon at Sentosa. If there is anything I enjoyed, that would be The Luge and the Light and Sound Show at night with the use of lasers, fountains, and firew
orks. One of the performers there (Cheryl) is drop-dead gorgeous!!! *major drool*

Last minute preps
then off back home to Manila.

I really don't know who this looker is, but I took a photo of her during breakfast at Kopi Tiam. Testing my new cam, I felt bad though that I had to charge it for 8 hours. Meaning, I didn't take it with me to Sentosa. I must say though, that this babe is OOOO-LALA!!!

I got mine for Sin$456 (net). At Php28=Sin$1 that's Php12,768. Hehehehe... I know, yours is at approx Php16k.

Mine is black and it came with a free case and memory stick though I'd rather have a free tripod. Then again, beggars can't afford to be choosy. I would have gotten the T200 but it costs Sin$600 which means that I won't be able to get the other stuff I planned on buying. Still, at Sin$600 the price is a steal.

To be honest, I rarely felt that I was in another country. Singapore is like being in a humongous The Fort. Yup, complete with all those gorgeous Asian women walking here and there...
