What a beeee-autiful day it is today! At least, it is in the WoodyEnd. Sunny and breezey and completely uplifting! Here's another photo of my fave tree in our garden...Ah, makes me smile.
Anyhoo - today's good deed was not something I had even thought about until the recipient thanked me for having done her a good turn.
I was e-mailing a lovely friend of mine who is off to Singapore for a holiday (and the Grand Prix) and I decided to throw together an impromptu list of my 'must see's' in Singers. On the list were the following:
Marina Bay Sands shopping - It is one hell of a hotel / casino / shopping centre.
Paragon shopping centre in Orchard Rd (though may not be so good once you've been to Marina Bay!)
Raffles Hotel for a singapore sling (she's pregnant though so maybe not? :-) Still it's cool to visit such an iconic place.
The Singers Zoo and the Night Safari - really well set up. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sentosa Island (good for a visit & that's where universal studios is) also has Underwater World. Again, Universal Studios may not be appropriate for someone who is 'with child' but my wordy Lordy - it has one of the best roller-coasters I've ever been on.
National art gallery and the museum were both fabulous and really unique.
Definitely go to Toast Box in the morning for thick peanut-butter toast and iced milo for brekkie. Though they are open all day so you can have it for lunch too :-) Seriously good toast.
Really liked the hawkers market under the Singapore Flyer and the hawkers market by the river. Hawkers markets in Singers are incredible. Excellent grub and cheap.
And if you feel like checking out something weird (and you can't sleep) head to little India and go to the Mustafa Centre. It's 24 hours and kind of like a big, weird department store. There's an old building and a newer one...so much stuff there (some quite cheap) But it's worth seeing for the craziness of it!

Finally - how can anyone go past a fish foot spa? If you haven't had crap nibbled off your feet by tiny, starving fish then you haven't lived!
So there you go - that was my good deed for the day. Tour guide for pregnant friend :-) And to everyone else - if you haven't been to Singers it is a very interesting place and well worth a visit I think!
Until tomorrow do-gooders xx
How fab is your tree looking?! That fish thing freaks me out! You know Angelina took a couple of her boys to one of those recently, weird! Xxx
ReplyDeleteRight, that's it... I'm off to Singapore! Sounds fun, although I'm with Abbey, not keen on fish nibbling my toes. Nice to see a pic on your blog, even though your words are entertaining all on their own. Vic xxx
