Singapore

Boring week in Hong Kong after Korea. I just did some administrative work around me having to go to school like get my student Octopus Card and etc. etc. I think I went out couple times with disappointing results. It is the same shit every time we go out. Needless to say I’m a little disappointed with Hong Kong. I don’t know why I can’t get into Hong Kong… I feel like I had too much expectation for Hong Kong, but it just feels like Mainland China to me. As bad as that sounds, Shanghai, I feel, is very comparable to Hong Kong.

So I decide to take a little trip. I went to Singapore (January 24, 2014). It was nuts! I met up with my friend Stephen from Melbourne there. I went to Sentosa Island and stayed at the W hotel! Poolside cocktails and good food was the name of the game! The amount of drinking was unreal. We had to keep the traditions of how we did in Melbourne alive. Friday night, we got drinks at the W hotel bar and chit chatted about everything. I arrived pretty late to the hotel, so we just stayed in. I guess we were just catching up. After significant amount of drinks, we went to bed!

It’s Saturday (January 25, 2014). We went poolside at the W hotel and just lounged around pre-drinking for the night to come. We grabbed dinner at a steakhouse called Skirt in the hotel and crushed some wine! Now it’s time to partay, we got in a cab, and we headed over to the outskirts of Chinatown to go to couple gay bars, Tantric and Taboo. We got drinks and danced all night! The drinks were way too strong. Can I get discounted drinks with half the spot you are putting in the cocktails please? After I almost threw up, we continued to dance until the bars closed. I went home and off to bed I went.

It’s Sunday and it’s time to meet family! I met up with Ophilia and Alfred today. Yonsei reunion in Singapore! What is my life? We met up at the mall and went to another mall for a great food breakfast food and they came to Sentosa Island, and we had dessert there just to catch up. They had to go a little early because they had to get ready for Lunar New Year holidays. It was nice seeing family and knowing that they were good! From there out it’s a sort of a blur…

We had a Mexican party! As bad as that sounds… Sorry I’m not sorry… Although the only Mexican thing about this party was that we drank an entire bottle of tequila. After that the potato wedges with sour cream was the next best thing. Although, we made new friends along the way, we met Victor and Vincent. I went to bed afterwards.

Monday was the tourist day. I went to the Garden’s by the Bay and the Marina Bay Sands. Not much after this crazy weekend, I left Tuesday morning, and back to Hong Kong.
