Singapore Mandarin Oriental, Little India and Haji Lane

Here is some more Singapore photos.

View of the pool from our room.
It looks like the middle of winter. It was very hot!



Lazy Pool Days!!!
I got to wear my Bali pants again! YAY.
What a lazy beach whale. HAhahahhaaaaaaaa



Yummy Poolside food.
I love fries. It's my weakness.
I have to really pull it together not to eat fries all the time.



Yum. Fries.
Vegetarian type of club sandwich.



Hazlenut and Apple ice-cream dish..



The rest of the day when downhill....fast..
I spent 4 hours lying under wet towels like this..
(im on the left under the towels......)



And then the vomiting started...the throbbing headache...blurred vision..
wahhh.
I had to go to hospital to to get the hydration saline? stuff in my veins and injections to stop the vomiting.
The doctor thought I might of caught a bacteria from Bali because it had been exactly 3 days since I left Bali.... The blood tests didn't pick up anything but it took me a week to get back to normal.
I felt much better the next day and just avoided alcohol and rank lots of poccari sweat.

We went over to K and Ks hotel and look at how awesome their bed was!
My fav thing in Singapore.
PREGNANCY PILLOW.



I want one SO BAD. Does anyone else have a pregnancy pillow?
I want one. Would it be weird to buy one?

We went upstairs to their roof top infinity pool.
D pretended to jump off the edge and raise my blood pressure through the roof.


Here was the view from their pool at night.
Beautiful!
They stayed at Naumi Hotel.


Later we decided to go to the observation deck at the new Marina Bay Sands hotel and casino.
D and I didn't bring our passports so there was so casino action.
Booo.
Here is the view from the pool there...
Mmmmmmm/.....nice 60yo beer guts...sexy.



After we head down to Little India for lunch.
It's so colourful and cray cray!!


We ate at a banana leaf restaurant and I had a coconut to rehydrate.
According to a Nudie bottle I read, young coconut water has 3x the amount of electrolytes than water has.
Interesting.
I had to Sepia this photo because I looked so pale and off.
Ughh


I didn't get a photo of the food before we ate it.
We all scoffed it down so fast.
It was so delicious!!
I dunno how I stomached this a day after being in hospital.
I ate lots of garlic naan and cheese naan.


The next day D and I headed down to Haji lane.
I liked the shopping here a lot.
Got a few tops.
Wasn't feeling well so didn't want to try on clothes. Otherwise I think I would of got a lot of stuff here!
It looks like a back alley yeah?
If the cab hadn't dropped me here I would of drove straight past it.
It stank too.



After looking through the shops I needed to pee and sit in air con so we went into this random place that ended up being some sort of tourist middle eastern style restaurant.


We ate mushrooms and salad and the WORST HUMMUS OF ALL TIME.
How can you screw hummus up? Especially in a middle eastern place.


Here is a nice photo that K took of a Mosque near Haji Lane.


On my last day I went upstairs to the hotel pool to take a photo of this Fish Lion and it was all smoggy or something!
What a pity!!
I love LionFish and want a good photo of him.
Grr.



I took this photo while we were checking out of the hotel.
What a cool wall.
I want this wall in my place.



I'm in Perth now and the weather is crud.
It's been raining for ages now.
Good opportunity to blog though!
Simpsons is on now!
Adiossssssssss
:D

Btw I have bought some cool new xmas tree decorations!
YAY.
Cant wait to do my xmas tree.
I will take some photos of my decorations when I get back to Melbs.
xoxoox

Universal Studios Sentosa Singapore

Hello!
Here are some photos from Universal Studios on Sentosa Island in Singapore.
You can tell it's still in its soft opening stage. Not all rides are open and during the day, two rides were closed for a period of time for repairs.
It was still such a fun day and I would recommend it. I think tickets were only around $35 because it's still in its early stages.


Universal Studios did NOT have enough novelty food like Disneyland does.
We need more trashy goodness!!
I thought this photo of D and K2 hilarious.
Hahahaha!
We got buckets of popcorn to eat during ride lines.
However, there were no lines all day. YAY!



We went and watched the Shrek 4D movie which was lots of fun!
I may have screamed like a baby.



We ran over to the Jurassic Park ride to find out that it was closed for repairs. I had a tanty.
K2 and I took a photo looking like dinosaurs though.
So did K1 and D but theirs was inferior so I didn't post it. HA!



I went on this dinosaur ride while the other guys went on a roller-coaster.
I was too scared to go on it.
I was scared on this kids ride to be honest.
I am woosey.



This is the "main street" area that is supposed to look like NYC I'm assuming.
None of the shops are open yet though.
Balls.



Although there was a hat shop.
I tried on a Pharaoh hat and did my best impersonation.



We ate in this cool 60s diner place and listened to Elvis.



Here is me at Shrek and Fiona's castle!



We then went back to the Jurassic Park ride which had been fixed!! YAYYY!!
The sign said "You may get wet" so we bought some ponchos to wear!!
HOWEVER
IT DID SWEET F ALL AND LOOK HOW WET I GOT.
THIS WAS WHILE WEARING A PONCHO!!!
Imagine if I didn't wear a poncho.



So with my hair ruined and clothes INCLUDING UNDERWEAR being soaked we decided to walk around to try and dry off.
U.S should REALLY have hairdryers at the exit of the ride. They dont even have the hand ones in the toilet that you can put your head under.

We left U.S and next door is a Hershey's store.
We decided not to buy anything though because it would melt in the heat.



Then we went over to Hard Rock cafe for some cocktails and nachos!
YAY. I had a traditional margarita. I love them. mm salty.



Still soaking wet.
Sitting in air con while wet is balls.
At least you can see the cool shoulder pads on my tee shirt!



Then on our way back to U.S I bumped into a Reese's Peanut Buttercup!
YAY



Then a few minutes later some more characters came out!!
I dunno WHAT D is doing to that Hershey's Kiss.
Weirdo.
Maybe trying to eat it?!



Then we went back to U.S
The main rollercoaster was broken down but looks how scary it would of been!
WAH!



My friends all went on The Mummy ride a few times and loved it! I was too scared.
We went back to the Jurassic Park ride and I think in total, we went on it about 8 times. AT LEAST.
The staff thought we were nutsos.
By the end of the day we were all HEAD to TOE SOAKED.
We couldn't be any wetter.
We all stank of chlorine.
It was 7pm and we weren't drying so we jumped in a cab home.
It was disappointing not to have a Parade or Fireworks at the end of the day like Disneyland does,
but maybe they will introduce this after their full opening?
I'm not sure.
The Park is VERY small and hopefully it will be expanded over the years.
It was still a fun day though! All due to the company I spent it with.
Thanks guys!!
:D

(btw if anyone is interested,
S&B Tee
Zara Pants
Hav thongs)

Singapore Night Safari

After Bali, D and I flew to Singapore to meet friends K1 and K2.
In Singas, D and I decided to keep up the buffet breakfasts in the morning.
It was good.
The Mandarin Oriental in Singapore has one of the best buffet breakfasts I've ever had.
Some mornings I would eat Indian for breakfast.
SO OFF.
I just try and pretend it's not breakfast time.
D ate Indian for breakfast everyday.
He's straight outta Calcutta.

I had below just one big of Indian. Those lentil donut things.
I had to MAX UP on fried carbs because I had 10 days of no carbs before going to Bali.
I missed them A LOT.
I also had fresh pink guava juice. It's the best.
The next day I had green.
It was good too.
I also had wheat grass shots most mornings. How disgusting are they?
Remember when they were the best shit in health? Now they are old news.



During the day we went shopping. No exciting photos.
Then at night we had to get one some coach and go to the Night Safari.
Wish I could of got a cab.
I dunno why we had to get two buses there and wait around a dock for 40 minutes.

So you go on a golf cart like train thingy through the "jungle" and your host tells you about the animals.
No flash is allowed so all the photos turn out like this,



That was a hippo by the way.
I forgot to bring my glasses and it's all very dark so I didn't get to see much at all.

After the tour you go and watch a show.
Here is the clearest photo from that.



Then they teach you about recycling and the environment and protecting the jungle.
Wah wah.
I didn't pay for a lecture on that.
I'm thinking it's for the kids. Clearly we all know to separate our recyclables and not to be a litter bug.
We got to see these cute little otter like creatures put cans in bins though.
It was the best part of the night safari.
They were so cute.



D got a coke and it came in this cool pirate mug.
I wanted him to steal it but I'm scared of Singaporean police.
They'd probs give him a life sentence.
K1 and I got Ice Milo because that's what you do in South East Asia.
It was delicious.



The Night Safari had some Halloween stuff going on.
I liked it.
This guy below would be still for 10 mins and then all the sudden move and growl.
It was scary.



Here is K1 and moi in a "Halloween Horrors" photoshoot.
I think we needed two more people to make this photoshoot work but D and K2 were taking photos of us.



Here I pretend to be eaten by a croc.
My head hardly fit in.
It wasn't comfortable.



So I decided to "wrestle the croc like Steven Irwin".
Looking at this photo, it looks more like I'm humping it and enjoying it.
GROSS.



I wore my best jungle/safari outfit.
Witchery shirt
Sportsgirl singlet
Country Road jeans
Havs Thongs

Singapore

Let me show you what we ate on the plane to Singapore.
It was so much food I felt like chucking.

Here some sort of weird chopped vegetables in cups thingy we had as an appetizer.
My favourite part is the random bit of wriggly red capsicum.



Here is the entree salad. I like how it is presented. I found it weird that they cut off the skin of the cucumber.
The skin of the cucumber is the best part. I like how it is crunchy.



Here is the main. It was quite tasty actually! For plane food it was good.
Especially for a vegetarian meal. Usually I get rubbish.
The fresh basil leaf made me happy.



REAL ESPRESSO ON A PLANE!! Qantas if you are reading plz take notice!
Another funny thing about Singapore Airlines is the crockery. It's Givenchy.
How Hillarious.
Why would one want to use designer crockery in the sky? hahaha so funny.



Japanese dessert thingy. It was SOOO NICE.
I have no idea what it was though.
Similar to Panacotta but I think it was some sort of soy number. It wasn't milky tasting.
Hmm. Not sure of the sauce either. It wasn't berry. It was sweet and kind of floral.



Real strawberries in icecream.



Cheese and crackers!!!!
Can you see how much cheese there is? And they give me 3 crackers. What are they crazy?
We asked for more crackers.
3 crackers.....crazy people...I think the yellow stuff was dried pawpaw maybe? Not sure. it was nice.



Here we are in Singapore!
I didn't really pack for hot weather. I kind of worked something out.
I wore D's hat. It covered my hideous humidity hair.
I think I only wore it for about an hour.
I like hats, but I feel silly wearing them.




YAY! I love Singapore.
Two of my favourite stores..



D and I ate at the Food Republic Food Court on Orchard.
Here he is having a nice cold beer.




Look at all the yummy Indian food!! It was very very nice. Probably the best Indian food I have had. Suprisingly from a food court!!
The green spinach one on the left was my favourite.



Garlic naan and mint paratha make me so excited!!!
I loveeeeeeee them !!!



This is out the front of Takashimaya. They were setting up for Singapore Fashion Week.
Which was ages ago now. Wish I could of seen Bryanboy.



Here is some things I got !

Duty Free perfumes!!



A whole heap of Chanel makeup and nail polishes duty free. Some toys and see the star and black thing? They are scourers for washing dishes. Cute yeah? The yellow dog thing goes over spray n wipe bottles. CUTE.
Some DiorShow mascaras and that Dior Addict lipgloss is so good! Sephora bronzer brush. Love these!
Finally I got my ye old faithful Clinique DDML and Frederick Fekka hair treatments. Hope these work out good!



And here is a stack of clothes I bought in Japan and Singapore.
I'm sure they will be in up coming posts as well.



Ahhh.
YAY Finally finished blogging about Japan/Singapore.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!!

I wish we were all on the same time line with Gossip Girl episodes.
I wanted to write about it but I think a lot of people aren't watching in with the US and it would spoil it for people watching it on Australian TV.
AHHH!
