Notes From Singapore 7

It was my first visit to Singapore during last Thursday-Friday. I’d like to take a note about it.

  • Everything seems so well ordered. Particularly traffic and signs. I love to see that people are willing to wait/queue/lining up to use public facilities.
  • To certain extends, however, Singaporean are like robot.
  • Luxurious. It’s bigger than Klapa Gading and Plaza Indonesia put together. And they have it all over the city CBD.
  • Now I know why we love to spend money in Singapore. I mean, the bookstores are amazing. We bought 9 at Borders, 2 at Kinokuniya, and 3 more at Changi’s. I will have a bigger luggage next week.
  • Remind us to ask for GST coupon.
  • In the contrary cabs are rare. And sucks. Pulogadung’s bajaj drivers easily match Singapore cab drivers’ reckless drive. At lower rate for fuck sake.
  • Having two Heinekens and a cup of red wine in Clarke Quay combine with 3 km walk from Orchard Rd to Dungeorn Rd is a good way to make me dehydrated and exhausted. Never trust GPS-attached Blackberry.

Complains? Objections? Place 20 cents at GTM and start to write down your memos. Bip bip.

    Never serve wine in a cup, therefore never drink wine from a cup. It's a big No No. Especially when you plan to walk from Orchard to Dungeon. Better be walking along the Quay from Clarke to Boat Quay. Soothing. PS: I am seeing clearly you went crazy over books there.

    Try to stay in Singapore more than 3 days and you will understand the word of "boring".
