Singapore & Christmas 2009



Singapore was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! (as always...)
After 11 days in the cosmopolitan island-city, me and my wallet managed to get some pretty good exercise. My legs felt like those of a marathoner and my wallet developed a near-lethal case of anorexia.

Seriously, never expected one could spend almost SGD $200 in Bugis Street alone...very scary. Although the selections were mostly female-dominant, still had some very nice choices. Went into the adult shops for the first time. Got reacquainted with the stations on the MRT line. They've been doing some serious upgrading, the trains and even their bus lines are SOOOO much better than Malaysia's.

But then, Singapore has proven to be better than Malaysia in most areas. Can you believe conversion rate from SGD to USD is rough 1.something....? So UNFAIR!!! Imagine working in Singapore, where your lunch can cost you a minimum of SGD $3...? And they don't have *cougheffingannoyingstupidhypocriticalcough* political parties that prevent Malaysia's Tourism Industry from being MORE than just a "melting pot of cultures".
