Slight insomnia contributed to me sleeping until almost noon. So I didn't make it to Sentosa Island until 2:30 pm. The UnderWaterWorld was incredible. The Dolphin show a bit short and not near as good as Schedd or SeaWorld. But it did not require an additional fee and it was cute.
Breakfast/Lunch started as one dish Kway Teow (please note, there are MULTIPLE Spellings) I took the one they used.
In any case this particular version was not a keeper. Because it was only Sg$4.50 I just walked away from it and got a Japanese Shrimp Noodle Bowl instead. Wonderful.
I am starting to get used to the Food court or Hawker type stalls and of course I am getting better and better at chopsticks.
I had time after the Aquarium to go to the beach. Being 55 miles north of the equator and as far south as I've ever been, it would have been a crime to not go into the Souh China Sea/Singapore Straits. Just so you know, I may be contaminated for life....but I remain Crime-Free. And Also FYI, it doesn't feel anything like Lake Superior.
If I get anymore time off in the next three weeks I will definitly return to Sentosa and it will be at 7:00 AM.
Dinner tonite was partly to eat familiar food (Irish Fish and Chips) but also to talk with new friends, bartenders Vishnu and Aisha.
I also met a 2 new folks (did I mention that I am shy and demure and have trouble opening up?) Nicolle and Alvin. Nicolle is a student who is working on a Music Website with Vishnu. I'm not sure what Alvin does.
Nicolle was surprised that I bthought Singapore had a lot of variety. I said that they had a lot of food variety but that the division between good and bad food held about the same ratio as other places. I also commented that they are more consumer-centric than most places I've been. Try Sim-Lin for example.
Anyway, work resumes tomorrow and it's anything goes. I'll comment as appropriate. Rhea and Tony, I'll get with you privately.
