Slinging Singaporeans, cheap books & Raffles the cat

I rushed back to the office tonight to pick up my laundry tag that I had left on my desk, then headed home (via the laundry) and the bloody laundry was closed! I don't know why, they're not meant to close til 8! So much for clean clothes ;)

Singapore was great, I was staying in an amazing hotel, with the worlds most comfortable bed, and great staff.... Oh and wow - they speak English there, and they have aussie chocolates, and its almost like being in a civilised country. It was luxury. I didn't realise until I got back into Hong Kong last night, and the taxi driver couldn't understand me and everything seemed dirty in comparison.

Oh and work today was crazy - Some days (maybe most) I get nothing done. One more day of work then I get a weekend. Catching up with some friends. Going to the movies sat day to see Pirates, then out Sat night (planning to go about 10pm, ill need an afternoon nap!)Also hoping for a massage, and to set up birthday plans.

If nothing else the singapore trip will keep me happy for a while - I bought more than 10 books, I stocked up on aussie chocs and snakes (the natural confectionary kind). Oh and I visited Raffles hotel and tried a Singapore Sling - Overrated!!
My hotel was waaaaayyyy better - Fullerton Hotel

Oh and dad - you would have loved the flight last night. Landing while Typhoon warning 3 was hoisted - oh such fun!
