I managed to do a surprising number of things today, firstly with Chad incapacitated due to heavy drinking the night before, I was forced to take matters into my own hands and decide on what sights to see today. Reception provided me with a tourists map of Singapore and my eyes quickly found the Singapore Cricket Club :)
Backpack, map and camera in tow I began trekking in the general direction, I found the place after 10 sweaty minutes, proceeded to sit down and watch 4 or 5 overs of cricket ^_^!! Unfortunately the level of talent wasn't that great, the heat and boredom forced me to leave after about half an hour.
Raffles' landing site wasn't too far away from the SCC, I decided to head there, only to find out upon arrival that I'd already seen it 5 years ago :-/, I was by the river and decided that Chinatown on the other side would be quite interesting, the main streets were fairly boring, but the back alleys were awesome! Each building has like at least 7 air con units hanging out the back, the alley's were narrow, rubbish was overflowing, the air was so nauseatingly pungent that I actually thought I was smelling durian fruits :D
After returning to the hotel, Chad had woken up and nursed his hangover, we proceeded to head to an IT mall and purchased the Sony VAIO that I'm typing on now :). The best buy of the day however was at dinner, I got a crate bottle of Tiger for S$4.50 at a food court ^_^!! That place is on the itinerary if any of your come and visit me in Sing!

I'm in Singapore lah!
I'm here! It's bloody hot and humid!
Business class was actually really underwhelming, apart from nice free booze and better food it wasn't really that exciting :-/. Got through 3 movies, and stayed away from Super Mario Bros the whole time :)
Got through customs with minimal hassles, the pornogami book is still with me ^_^!!
Had the obligatory Singapore Sling at the Long Bar, was expecting some one to mix it up on the spot, but they had it mass produced and just poured it from a jug :O, it wasn't that nice to boot either :P
