Kiyo and I spent about 3 hours trying to figure out if the train to KL was cheaper or the bus. Turns out, the bus stop is 15 minutes away, take 5-6 hours and 25SGD while the train is two subway stations away, 34SGD and 8 + hours!! We then went to Orchard Road to […]

Raffles Hotel
by Bertha on 20. Aug, 2005 in Singapore 2005
I noticed when I went to bed that I didn’t include the most famous hotel in Singapore and my taste of an authentic Singapore Sling! So: Yesterday morning Rumi and I happened to see Dale and Kiyo at the breakfast table so we invited them to come to Sentosa island with us. I made them […]

Sentosa Island
by Bertha on 19. Aug, 2005 in Singapore 2005
I just got back from a long day of walking. I went to Sentosa Island, an entirely manmade entertainment island, to a couple of the many attractions there including the beach. The first thing we did was take the gondola up to Mount Faber for the spectacular view of the bay before taking the same […]

T minus 3 hours
by Bertha on 15. Aug, 2005 in Singapore 2005
ok, so I couldn’t sleep last night. Managed to fall asleep at 2:30am and for some reason I thought setting the alarm for 9am was a brilliant idea. I’m getting the lovely and talented Susan to drive me to the airport so that my daddy won’t miss work. NERVES!
Singapore here I come!

This is my last entry before taking off! I’m nervous and have been having bad thoughts of plane crashes. That’s never happened to me before, I’ve never worried about the trip there but I’m sure it’s cuz my “holiday” will be so long! I also don’t think that it’ll really sink in until I’m on […]

haha. I find it so funny that my current post is so different from my previous post. I researched S a lot but not really Malaysia. My current plan is to purchase a traditional chinese dress, a traditional indian dress and if it’s tailor made, all the better. If it is cheap hopefully a suit […]

For about one week Ian and his buddies are going travelling around before they prepare to head back to Canada. I have sent him a list of things that I’d like him to bring back. Hopefully, I’ll get some of them!
