We didn’t do much there, also because there wasn’t much for us to do. We walked a lot. Noticed how new modern buildings sprout out between slummy heavily-vandalized broken buildings. Saw a string of bright pink taxis coincidentally caught in a traffic jam at one point. Took long baths. Watched a lot of Fox News in the hotel?!? Quietly honestly, I was simply happy to wake up by myself, for myself and not by our cats.
In the last two photos, we were at a bar where the live band played serious heavy metal. Lamb of God, Iron Maiden. I’ve never seen a grown man shout so much and so loud before, it was something to remember.

Caught Inception, late lunch at Oriole — beef cheek tagliatelle and a flat white for me. Headed to the Singapore Garden Festival and was disappointed that visitors couldn’t walk under canopies and alongside flowers, we could only go around exhibits trying to peek into the heart of it. Left and bought something I don’t need from Muji, like always. On our way out of the mall we figured the fireworks (NDP rehearsal) were gonna start anytime soon so we stuck around to catch it. Nice long bus ride home, we sat on a double decker so I spied on every house with a pool. Couldn’t sleep, watched some Letterman, still couldn’t sleep so I packed the work room, my section of it.
I don’t have photos of everything I mentioned, just some.
