It was a pretty exhausting but good day today. We went out to SIm LIm Square which is an electorinics mall- 7 stories of electronics! I'm not sure what i was expecting but seriously- after the 2nd floor it gets pretty boring- i mean how many iphones, cables & cameras does one person need?
So we headed back out into the heat for a stroll through little india. to be honest it wasn't really how the book described it- maybe i missed something but really, not worth the heat.
then it was a quick trip down to sentosa island including a monorail- yeas that right, a monorail (yesi still get stupidly excitd about them after that simpsons episode). Sentosa really played to the theme of singers being weird. there's heaps of amusement park type thingys, people take photos in front of construction sites(!) and the beaches which are supposed to be beautiful have really soft lovely sand but look out onto industrial ships. Really you can't relax on a beach looking at industry. I just found the whole thing odd really.
Once we got to the mainland and walked through our 10,000th mall i noticed, what is going down as the oddest thing here-- all the dummies in the shops are western sized, and the clothes aren't! what the hell???? i think they put their xtra large sizes on them or something
the coolest thing abouttoday has beene the night safari- all the cool animals that are normally asleep at the zoo are up and about playing. i hhighly recommend it- plus i learnt some intersting fact (while lauging at the over the top american accent/siong song story time voice of the guide)
soo now i'm off to have 2 girraffe sleeps (yes, i learnt girraffes sleep between 10 mins & 2hours sleep a day) before jumping on the plane home-- word on the grape vine is it is 38 degrees... god help me and my freckles
