Day 111- Anyone for a Singapore Sling?

Today was another busy day in Singapore! It started at the art science museum. They currently have two exhibitions on, one being the Future World Exhibition and the other being Alice in Wonderland. Anyone who knows me knows I love Alice in wonderland so this was an absolute dream. The exhibition had costumes and scripts from the film as well as an interesting take on the famous tea party, it was awesome.

The future world exhibition also did not disappoint. This was an interactive exhibition with some really awesome digital installations.

After this we had a browse around the mall attached to the marina bay sands hotel (this was incredible and filled with so many high end really beautiful shops).

The food court at the mall was also pretty good with loads of options and we enjoyed a feast!

After eating ourselves silly we fancied a drink. Where better than the Ce La Vi bar which is on the very top of the Marina Bay Hotel. The view from up here was stunning and as expected the Singapore Sling cocktail was delicious!

After our drinks we headed to the Garden By the Bay, this is always the top of the list of things to do in Singapore.

By the Garden there is the Flower Field Hall and the Cloud Forrest. To be honest although the flower field had pretty flowers this was actually a bit disappointing. The tickets for the flower field and the cloud Forrest were $28 (SGD) and I didn’t personally think they were worth the money. They seemed a bit basic, it was pretty much just a hall of flowers and the Cloud Forrest was just a man made structure with a fake waterfall. After seeing beautiful natural waterfalls this didn’t nearly compare.

After this we went to a nice spot to watch a bit of the light show. It was pretty and Singapore is definitely a city that looks better at night with the lights!

An Update

Things over the last week have developed and happened really quickly. I am still trying to process how I feel. I will get round to calling everyone and talking to everyone but right now I am selfishly putting myself and my well-being (both mentally and physically first). On Tuesday I was informed I no longer had my job in Australia. This was the start of the collapse of my dream. A lot of people were in the same position and with the job market in Australia becoming more and more dire each day, thousands of people including Australians loosing their jobs, businesses shutting left right and centre as well as the daily reports that flights out of Australia were shutting down I was left with one option. I had to leave. At the time this did not feel like a choice. I knew I didn’t have the financial ability to support myself for the next 6 months, which is potentially how long it would have taken to restore any normality. I had enough money in Australia to buy a ticket home, which...

Bikinis, boat parties and first dates! 27.01.20- 02.02.20

In my effort to keep people updated more with my life I am going to try and write at least one post a week. No promises but here is my summary of the last week! Monday was a public holiday here in Australia which could mean only one thing... brunch and a day at the beach! Amanda and I decided to head on the ferry to Watson’s bay! Shamefully this is the first time that I had been on the ferry! It was absolutely beautiful seeing the city from the boat. The Sydney skyline is actually pretty spectacular. We arrived at Watson bay and headed to the Watson bay hotel for a spot of brunch. It was delicious. Obviously it would not be brunch without cocktails. It was a day of sitting on the beach and soaking up the sun. Whilst we were there I had a hinge message. For those not in the know, hinge is a dating app. I haven’t dated anyone since leaving the UK but thought it would be fun whilst I am relatively settled in sydney. The message was from a guy called Dan, as...

What I gave up when I left home

Someone I met on my travels said to me ‘everyone long term travelling is either running from something or trying to find something’. Since hearing this I have thought a lot about this. I have said this to other people and am yet to find someone who disagrees. Whilst I hose down pens or do other cleaning jobs which don’t require much thinking I think about home, I think about the reasons I left and I try to figure out why I left to travel. Some people might think it’s obvious, I mean who doesn’t want to see the world and have fun. You may be asking if they are reason enough but the truth is for most control freaks like myself that wasn’t a good enough reason to leave. Before I can even decide why I left I need to consider what I was giving up. Some days it feels like I gave up so much. The most obvious things I gave up were; Being able to see my family everyday Having awesome friends around An awesome career which for my age was something I was really proud of Having my ...
