Singapore Sunday 8/2: Very nice weekend. Friday I met up with Jeff Anderson after work to check out the Swiss Hotel for a later stay and head down to Little India to see what that is about. Great company, good food and bargains galore! I figured I would get a pair of sandals something here so at the price of $12.50 sing couldn't pass up the bargain on some “Waikin” sandals. Tried then out all of today and they feel great.
Wish I could tell you all the types of food we had but it came down to a golden beer, mutton, yogurt chicken and curry chicken along with veggies in some yogurt sauce, all with saffron rice of course. When you start dinner at about 11:30 or so at night and lose time in conversation ranging from Star Trek trivia, backpacking to mysteries of the Universe I guess it was only fitting that the MRT quit running by the time we were done. What is one to do at 1:00-1:30am down in a strange part of town (course it’s all strange since I’ve never been here before)? Good thing Taxis are as plentiful as they are because just walking out to the street gave us a choice of two of the nearest 15 or so coming by at the time.
Saturday after a productive day at work the plan was to meet up on the 57th floor of the Swiss Hotel at Jeff’s place to watch the practice for the Independence Day festivities that will be for real on the 9th of August. All I can say is that if this is practice I can’t imagine what the 9th will be like. I think I’ll let the pictures tell the story of this evening, military boats, helicopters, F16’s surreal lighting etc….fantastic!! I do need to say though that after I got to the hotel and tried to take a picture I found out I left the camera memory chip back in the computer from the download of the day before. But how well did things work out that Jeff used the tripod I brought for all these pictures with his camera. So I got to take in all the sights and Jeff did the artistic documentation seen for this night, thanks Jeff (time lapse too!).
Sunday has been spent down in the area of the stadium where the Independence Day events will be held taking picture for my son Ryan and his art. Nice relaxing day before hitting another week at the office. So, next weekend will probably be the next entry…till then.
