Days 4-6, Singapore
Hey all,
Thanks for dropping by again, or indeed for the first time.
So those of you that know me at all will know that I have a thing for most things technological and so on, but what we are currently doing blows even my mind. We are currently blogging from 10, 700 metres, somewhere over Afghanistan. Pretty crazy no?
Megan's pretty keen to have a dash at this blogging caper so I'll hand over to her now.
Cheers,
Khoo
Hi all,
Well we've just left Singapore and like Khoo said, are currently blogging from 10, 700m. Apparantly there's now some onboard wireless internet thing that they're doing a promotion for at the moment. So that's pretty exciting!
Now, just going back to our last post, where Khoo mentioned about taxis having no seatbelts in Malaysia. Well, what he actually failed to mention there was that the MINUTE we found out there were no seatbelts in the back of the taxi, the little turd jumped into the front seat, leaving me to pack backpacks and suitcases around myself in the back in the hope of cushioning the impact in a 90km/hr crash. He's now reading over my shoulder and loadly protesting that he was already in the taxi when we found out - whatever!!!! :P
Anyway, we're having a pretty good time at the moment :) We seem to be getting a wave of hotel upgrades at the moment - got upgraded in both Malaysia and Singapore which was pretty nice! We checked the rate of the room we got upgraded to in Singapore - about AUD$550 a night! Not bad! The shopping in Singapore is pretty awesome but most of what I wanted was waaaaaaay out of my price range (e.g. my favourite shopping centre there had Chanel, Calvin Klein, Armani etc to give you some idea). We also made time for a Singapore Sling at the Raffles Hotel - a must-do in Singapore, but be warned the prices are pretty steep. Khoo meanwhile insisted that he needed* a new mobile so spent most of his time searching for one and trying to haggle the price down.
*needed = denotes a word used by Khoo when he feels he may have fallen several months behind in technology and wants to catch up. Or impress everyone with his shiny new toy.
Anyway, whilst Khoo was searching for phones I went for a wander and found the display in the photo - gotta love that Circus Piles Cream!
Well, now I'd better head off as I'm halfway through watching a movie on the in-flight entertainment (Singapore Airlines has movies on demand, hence the reason I can pause it to do this blog). Catch you later :)

Sweet! I am the first to post here too! Cockboy is all over the place tonight, leaving a nice gooey mess wherever he goes!
Hey nips....if khoo is buying gadgets o/s, and he has no one to show them to, I guess he thinks they will impress you!!!! Well, guess he can't impress you with his superior sporting ability!!!! Naaaahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!
I sincerely hope you continued tradition and had the Sling just after the bar opened (what was it, 11AM?).
And what? No Bongo Bongo Burger Bar? For shame!
