Another day, another birthday wish to be sent, this time to my wonderful mum! After painfully saying goodbye to our hostel, we checked into new, never-gonna-be-as-good one & then headed to the Singapore Zoo to look at their array of animals on offer. We decided to walk around & follow the keepers as they did feeding times with the different animals. In the distance we could hear the rumbling of our good old friend thunder, who appeared to be stalking us e...

After sending our birthday wishes to the delightful Miss Roshni Shah, we headed out on our delayed trip to the KL Tower. After going on a little forest adventure over some rope bridges, we arrived at the base of the tower & stared up in awe. Upon getting in the lift, I asked the attendant how long it took to reach the top. '6 minutes' was her response.

Soon it was time t...

So bless them, they had been knocking on our door for 10 minutes, thinki...

We earlier had a message to say that Alan & Carly were in Koh Phangan, so instead of booking a ferry to Koh Somui for a quiet, chilled beach rest, we headed straight to Koh Phangan for what we knew would be a hectic nightlife, even before we met with Alan & Carly. ...
