Today is my birthday and I had thought of loads of things to do but ended up spending most of the day at the Raffles hotel and Raffles Arcade. I went for a late breakfast in the Ah Teng bakery which is in the Raffles Arcade. They had my favourite tea which is Earl Gray and when the man asked if I wanted milk and I said no with a face that said you cannot have milk with Earl Gray I got a smile of approval. I felt rather prim sat there with a copy of the Straits T...

During the day today I will admit I did practically nothing, a lie in was long overdue and I had one! This evening though, I decided to go to the Singapore Night Safari which is right by Singapore Zoo. Not very central to Central Singapore but a train and a bus will take you straight to the entrance.

There is a map on the wall of the restaurant which it is suggested that you take a photograph of so you don't get lost, but it really is sketchy and definitely not to scale! More of a cartoon map! Anyhow, the bikes had been returned in the afternoon which meant the weather was a lot cooler so I thought it would be a good time to go since it's only meant to take about 2 1/2 hou...

Yesterday I had a really chilled out day, I simply got hold of a book from the lodge and sat about in the restaurant area reading. I've not been this chilled out in ages and it was good to read a book again. So good that in fact I finished the book in one sitting! It sounds like a massive achievement till you learn that the book is in fact only 200 pages long! I turned to Howard in the afternoon and asked whether he thought it was going to rain and he said it mi...
