24th August 2007, singapore.





so chris is leaving for germany today, he was said to go but happy to go home, if that makes sense.

Micheal is leaveing tomorrow so we have decided to hook up again and explorer some more of singapore, there doens't seem to be alot here though.

so meet michael at 11am, went to finf the raffles hotel, he seems to think it is legendary but i have never really heard of it, meant to be something like the ritz. However we got there, bit of a disapointment, see top photo, we was expecting something glamourous, but to us it was just an old building nothing special (actually since we wenti have been told it the inside which is glamourous hoever i would not get in, in flip flops) so we had a little walk round, went to mellion park which we were told is the most photographed place in singapore. again no idea why it is a little harbour with a crap view, the lion fountain (picture above) is the best bit. wow a fountain, thats impressive !!!!!
We also went searching for a guitar shop, and we found the mail with well we thought one shop, there was actually about 7-8 shops. one had some funky guitars (see above) there was some blue charater thing i have no idea what it was, there was also a machine gun gutiar above and left to that and another one to the right that was in the shape of an axe, pretty nice. nothing i would buy but i suppose would be good hanging on the wall if you had enough money and space for it.

So we decided to go see a movie, rush hour 3, wow what a great film. i know i have now been to see 3 films, but dam why is all good films coming out while i have left the country. anyway was a great film, i think jakie is getting a bit old now, as there wasn't much action and fighting from him like there use to be, this was more comedy but still funny as you like.

then again had a little walk round. found out where minstry of sound is in singapore. As we are going there tonight. can't wait should be a good night.

So michael and i depart to get some food and back to hostels to get changed and ready to party.

Got to minstry of sound, have been told it is a house night tonight, however we get in there and there seems to be only one room, michael was told the place can hold 5000 people, this room wouldn't even hold 1000, and its hip hop. i like hip hop but not to dance too. so we hang around and they open another room up a little later, actually they is about 3 rooms, one big one with a revolving dance floor, which was playing house, and we stayed in that room all night. another room playing funky 70's stuff, i was happy with that but michael doens't like it. actually it was set out to be a 70's place with the egg shaped seats that hang up and stuff like that. pretty cool if you ask me. and the other one was a VIP room which had footy on it so lucky i couldn't get in there, not sure michael would of come away, i mean michael we are in a club for fuck sake, why would you want to watch footy.
So had a good night in there, showed singapore how to dance this time. and basically rocked my little socks off for the rest of the night.

Hi Ya

Love the photos. Raffles Hotel was more popular in the 40s/50s for the rich and its where the drink the Singapore Sling was invented.

Cool guitars as well.

Luv Mum & Dad

Raffles Hotel was also where the last tiger in Singapore was shot, under the billiard table. Looks like a fantastic journey you are on.
