This hastily-planned trip to Singapore I…

ate roti john and sup kambing at Newton (Neil had murtabak)
did I-wanna-be-a-towkay stuff
had dinner at Siem Reap at the Asian Civilisations Museum (it’s such a treat, hiding from cigarette smoke by going indoors)
walked for a couple of hours in the Boat Quay / Clarke Quay / River Valley Road area (and did not spot mrbrown or Mr Miyagi drinking kopi or beer)
did more I-wanna-be-a-towkay stuff
ate prata on Bencoolen Street (of course)
watched Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (wahey!)
had dinner at Coriander Leaf (where the naan is plentiful and the palak paneer is oily)
went to baldy Matt’s new bar, color, and surprised him, Karen, and Mick (color does a nice lychee martini — it’s on Circular Road, right next to eskibar)
had lunch at Cafe de Amigo (I must say I’m not as taken with the place as my mum, but it’s okay)
got a haircut (where the hairdresser advised that my cut will look okay for six months if I can’t bear to try cutting it again in Xiamen)
purchased a pair of Havaianas in size 47 for my colleague Stuart
had dinner with Neil’s friend Raymond at the Orchard Towers food court (because Dome at Wheelock Place no longer exists — I bet Kristen and Mark would be sad about that if they still lived in Singapore)
caught an early flight back to Xiamen
had dinner at Le Mezina (they’re definitely being neglected in favour of the new sister restaurant, Olivia)
skimmed through the May issue of JANE and discovered my sister’s pal Erin in the Vacation section
