Or, How To Play It Cool

I arrived in abnormally hot and humid Singapore Friday evening, checking into my hotel and prepping for my London 2007 compadres’ arrival the next day. My solo night in Singapore was spent wandering the malls and having a Mos Burger, before finally ending up at The Raffles Hotel, where, like so many unsuspecting tourists, paid SGD$25 for a Singapore Sling.

Papa insisted that it was one of the things I just had to do while in Singapore. And I couldn’t have a Singapore Sling at the hotel I was staying, no, it had to be at its birthplace, the Raffles Hotel.

The next morning was perfect timing. I had obtained breakfast and, most importantly, Starbucks coffee (I LOVE YOU) just as Haz and Lil arrived. Snuck them up to the hotel room and made them shower. They smelled really bad after the overnight train ride. :P

We got ready and headed back down to Starbucks for more coffee, lunch, and checking out the stage door at the Esplanade Theatre.

We Will Rock You is, and always will be, the most awesome musical I have ever watched. The energy it gives out is electrifying, and when the audience responds, it’s better than a high.

This audience was amazing. Once again, our official We Will Rock You scarf (from London, was not sold in Singapore) ensured we were noticed. By the cast, and at one of the shops, when the salesgirl exclaimed, “You’re the guys with the scarf!! I was at the show just now, you guys were so cool!!”

We won points for awesome, and we haven’t even gotten to the stage door yet.

Vacation over

Seeing friends is always awesome. Especially those who drove me around, and who are crazy enough to drive from Gombak to Kinrara. In peak hour traffic. Or Putrajaya to Kinrara. Or you know, willingly accept directions without questioning my ability to give directions. XD

Naturally, on my first day back, the ever useless Steph calls.

“What are you doing?”
“Driving to 1 Utama.”
“Heh, do you know the way?!”

I was very insulted. Of course I know the way. My scent for a bargain is as sharp as ever, please refer to 70% off BCBGMaxAzria top. HA.

Food glorious food!!

Weddings are fun when you get to bully the groom and his party. And make money from it muahahaha!! Much love to Madam Chooi for inviting me to her special day!!

Being in a country where football is like a religion. Only to discover your godmother cut off the sports channel because no one else watches it, forcing you to commandeer someone else’s TV.

Taunting Liverpool fans.

Got conned into a Thai reflexology foot massage. Note to self, never listen to Marie. EVER AGAIN. :P

Achieving Ramly Burger. Am no longer a sesat Malaysian, yay!!

Singapore roadtrip!! Though I could have done without the whole adakah anda pasti? or adakan jawapan anda muktamad? while reading maps in a foreign country. See if I ever volunteer to be co-driver again. :P

Meeting long lost friends in Singapore.

MIG AYESA IS LOVELOVELOVE. He is the complete Galileo. I would totally cheat on Ruud with him.

Did I mention my Awesome Purchase? Tiffany’s charm bracelet. I let Hani and TJ pick the first charm. :)

Best thing? Friends and the warm hospitality. Home is where you feel the love.
