It’s Fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A!

I think Matt fell asleap!We are sitting at the FREE Internet terminal at the Singapore airpot, about to board our plane for Thailand and I thought it was appropriate to write a quick blog about how wondeful Singapore is. The streets are clean, the people are wonderful and the services are exceptional – where else can you get FREE Internet access.

Yesterday we thought we better venture out a little beyond Orchard Road and the Sim Lim Square (more on Sim Lim Square later); we decided to go to Santosa Island — A little island just south of mainland Singapore (a bit like Phillip Island cross with an amusement park). Santosa was great, we caught the cable-car from the mainland and explored the island on the free mono-rail. Our first stop was the Santosa beach, with it’s beutiful sand and clear water – we decided to relax for a few hours in an outdoor recliner with a few beers as we watched the sun go down. Second stop was the amazing sound and light show (apprently it cost 4 million to produce) – it was truely incredible, I could just imagine my nieces screaming with delight at the show!

Sim Lim Square is one of the many IT shopping centres, 6 floors of IT goodness! There were litterally hundreds of shops selling every gadget you could possibly imagine. I was in heaven!! After about the 5th hour of window shopping, Philippa mentioned to me that if we stayed for another minute she would jump over the edge of the 4th floor. I guess I was a bit selfish πŸ˜›

Our plane leaves in 20 mins, so I better scoot. Love you all heaps and will try and upload the pics of Santosa in Thailand!

  1. Hey Guys, Sounds like you are having a fantastic time. Phil, trust me I know how you feel, Sim Lim Square is every girls worst nightmare – Kristian did exactly the same on our way hm from Egypt! Just to let you know, we have bought a house in narre south & move in on the 24th feb!!! Looking forward to more news, keep safe guys & have a fantastic time πŸ™‚

  2. Sim Lim square – just to give you a better picture, we are talking about four hours of walking in and out of small computer stall (selling pretty similar merchandise), playing with all the gadgets and then moving to the next. The airconditioning was so cold that most shop assistants were wearing heavy jackets, and we’d come dressed for the 33 degree day (that it was outside). Matt didn’t realised how cold he was until he started getting feeling back in his toes 20 minutes after we had left Sim Lim!
