Holiday - Singapore

[Admin]

Well been here a week, and more rain than usual for this time of year, guess the Yanks have been polluting our air a bit more :P

Costs more when it rains, was supposed to be laying around cooking myself to a lobster colour on Sentosa Beach, but as the rain didn't go off until 4pm, we spent the day shopping....well for the wife anyway, I got a plastic bag and a pocket full of receipts....no wait....I got two heads for my shaver for £5 each, £20 in the UK...WOOHOO....

My wife's niece in Kent is getting married supposedly on June 18th, but not to sure they will get a Saturday at such short notice. Anyway, they've had their present already.

Off to the Singapore Cup on Sunday, looking forward to that, and then back home on Wednesday at 7am. Always look forward to my own bed, regadless of where I've been.

Singapore sounds like a great place - shame I didnt get the chance to see it during my 4 hour stopover in February. Next time me and Els go to Philippines, I'll try to get something through Singpaore maybe with a day or 2 stopover.

[Admin]

It's worth the extra to stay in the Orchard or York, Rob...not Geylang eh Pete :P SIA do a stopover package included in the fare, which is worth a look on there site.

Been to Sim Lim 3 times already :rolleyes: But any excuse to go again, so will have a look for you Pete. Probably won't be much difference if they are new, as the companies set a fixed World price these days. The new PSP is the same price in most countries give or take a few %.

You need to do some research to pick up the bargains on electronics.

Ah well, back toSentosa today for another perv ;)

yes keith thats the one I want....so its 175.00 in Singapore, have you actually seen it in Sim Lim for that amount ? as its £70.00 less there, well worth my going via SIA on my way back...maybe a stopover to get one...using the SIA hotel package you mentioned, or was it Rob ?? Rob you would enjoy going..Keith loves it..Ive done it...hey stop taking the ......p about me staying in Geyland....it wasnt my fault..Filipino Travel booked it for us...they are the bozos who put us in Geyland 18 Lorong 50, hahahahah, the hotel was laughable..the bed had a leather mattress on...2 white sheets and 2 small pillows, we had to ask for extra pillows as my head kept sliding down the bed, and lets be honest about this, it wasnt the most romantic room in the world...they had 2 plastic coffee cups. with 1 pack of sugar each, 1 creamer and 1 coffee hehehe and a hot water jug...a small closet, and a shower room...hey come on it was ok, but not up to the standards of the York, or the Orchard, even the Oxford in Queens road, was better, at least they had a small breakfast restaraunt...I am kicking myself over this...

Rob..I bet you are enjoying the fruits of love...with your Filipina beauty...hate for you that mate...hehehehehehe

I am stuck looking at the 4 walls, and writing these posts, but I suppose my time will come, then we can all watch everyone else go through this...only 3 weeks to go for our British Embassy Manila exciting experience...I am also preparing myself for the WalesRob experience, in case they send me home emtpy handed, cos something is wrong, or they need to do extra checks...anyway I will be online at some cafe in the area, no doubt to let you all know how it goes.

in the meantime..keith is having a whale of a time...hate you for that Keiith...Rob is with Elsa..hate you for that as welll mate..hahaha

And Pete has got nobody

Situation normal...

[walesrob]

Aw Pete mate keep the faith....trust me when Gina is over here with you in UK, you'll have the time of your life, and you'll look back and laugh about the delays and hassle. Believe me its worth it!

[ginapeterb]

yes youre right Rob..thanks for that..I guess we will look back and wonder what all the fuss was about...thats a comforting thought...just jealous of you mate thats all...but happy for you as well....I take comfort from the fact that you married in May of 2004...I had just got back from Phils in end of March 2004...and gone a year, to where we are today, time flies fast...maybe the best is yet to come eh mate...thanks for those kind words...good to see you on the Asawa Forum as well Rob, how is Elsa liking it down in the valleys ???

Whats your location there Rob ??

Well trust our niece to go and book the wedding in Maidstone at 10:15AM!!!! :huh:

We were hoping to drive down in the morning for an afternoon wedding, plus I update my other web site at 11am!!! And as it's Saturday betting, the busiest day,I can't miss it so I'll have to sneak off and sit on the loo with my laptop :blink:

The weddings on the 18th June, so not sure when your back in the Phil Pete, proably then!!

Aberystwyth ;) Maybe we could exchange sheep some day :lol: The Welsh are very WELSH over there, Plaid Cymru rule....mind you, I was under Labour when I left, and thanks to 133 votes it's now a TORY area :angry: :ph34r:

Just think Pete, that in August, you'll be sitting in the garden, a glass of white, hot Sun, and Gina out at the shops spending all your hard earned :D :lol: :P

....and you know that nice pad you spent years developing as you like it, it will all have to change B)
