Not one to listen to people. Let me check it out for myself I thought. A friend of mine from London was coming over and said she was going, so not thinking twice. I booked my flight and joBined. Silly me...arriving at Terminal 2, she was suppose to meet me, but it never occurred to me that there's up to three terminals!!
I got my Fave meal ever...Chicken Rendang and waited for her...an hour later...still no Mauddah. Ok...I just have to make my way to the hostel. But, I took a quick gamble and decided to go to Terminal 1 on the shuttle...getting off...voila...there she was.
Note to self ....always confirm the terminal when meeting with someone!
We made our way to Chinatpwn...the huge big clean streets were full of people. Red decorations adorned the streets for the upcoming Chinese new Year festivities.
We spent the day at Sentosa beach.
We got some drinks and chilled by the beach, it's a nice place to possibly hire a bike for the day and go around. The place itself is like Disneyland...colossal...with lights everywhere and fountains...countless shops and screams of children.
Where we were seemed like more of a lake than a beach..the sun was beating down on us....sat by Azure bar we soaked up the rays and indulged in the sounds of reggae from the bar.What was most shocking was how expensive it was. By Clarke Quay, we had a few drinks at Hooters. Which is an American style bar, with girls dressed slightly scantily clad in tight orange shorts with tank tops with a bit of cleavage on show. For a mock tail, I paid the equivalent of £10.
Clark Quay is quite spectacular, I would say. It has a European feel, with lights reflecting on the water...if your part of a couple you can walk with your partner holding hands across the bridge.
Singapore has a very mature feel, which was reflected by the crowd. It's a far cry from the brash ambience of LAN Kwai Fong in Hong Kong, where beer cans and bottles are cluttered on the street and whiffs of smoke brush along your face as your walking in the crowd.
I have to say...I prefer it here in Hong Kong.
