The Botanic Gardens.



On Tuesday, I decided to go and visit the Botanical Gardens

I had apprehensions on taking public transport in Singapore, but it turned out to be a very efficient and cost effective way of getting around. The bus, the MRT have directions plastered on them. If you did get lost, it would be easy to find your way back again.

In my case the Botanic Gardens, as you would expect, contains very beautiful flora. So armed with my trusty Canon Ixus 70.. I was on my way. There were some great shots.

Hello Singapore!

The flight over to Singapore was comfortable.. had three seats all to myself.. :). Singapore Airlines. love your work!

Unfortunately I packed my knitting into the cargo luggage rather an bringing it on the plane.. (yeah like I'm going to impale someone with a plastic circular needle on the plane?). Decided on a movie and first channel was "Hairspray". I liked it, nothing like fantastical plot, coupled with piled high hair, and catchy musical numbers. "GOOD MORNING BALTIMORE"

Once that movie was over, had dinner - Oh good advice for those travelling; if you order a special meal, like in may case a non-lactose meal, it gets served first before the other passengers.. which means you get to finish first (knowing how slow I eat!), AND you get first dibs to use the facilities before the rush and the queue and the smell...

I spent the next 2 hours playing Zelda on the console. Needless to say I suck at computer games.. Poor Links got killed numerous times. Apparently my hand eye coordination needs some fine tuning.

Touch down! Leaving the plane I was greeted with the nice humid blast of air. Singapore.. I have arrived. :)

I have great cousins. they live on the top storey of a condo in Bukit Batok. and the view is spectacular. It's like a resort, swimming pool, gym, reading room, Karaoke room?!

anyway at some point had to go for a swim.. if the rain would stop pelting! :D

Anyway rest and relaxation is for this week.

chookers!

The start of the adventure

All right people..

Sorry it's taken me ages.. I had this blog page for ages and well haven't even considered doing anything with it.

This will change :).

Firstly will keep you up to date..
I'm in Singapore! Been here since the 14th October and having a fabulous time. For those that are wondering, well this is a short holiday, but I'm heading over to London to start something.. and you know what, I have NO frikkin idea what I am doing. But that is part of the fun.

I'll start off with the day I left the airport.. Just a few friends to see me off. They were either..
1) sad to see me go
2) envious that I'm going on this trip
3) excited because they were living vicariously through me.

needless to say.. no regrets... yet.. :S

See the piccy above? Me and my parents at the airport.. won't be seeing them for a while.

Right chookers!

next.. The delights of Singapore.
