Ive arrived in Singapore after a mental journey. We left the Perhentian Islands on the 4pm speedboat. To say speed is an understatement. This boat is the scariest thing ever!!! I thought we were gonna capsize all the time! We made it to the mainland and met 'Brother!" the coolest malaysian ever!! He arranged out train tickets for us and then drove us there himself! We paid him a little and took him out for dinner. Proper sereall moment when your sitting in the middle of Malaysia eating dinner with Brother. Who has 2 wives, 7 children, his own rice farm and drives us around finding food, beer and a 7 11!! We finally got on the night train at about 8pm and it was nicer than the last, air conditioning good good!! But some crying children and wierd malaysians!! Anyways we had a bevvy and then got ready to sleep the night ahead.
In the morning with arrived in Kuala Lumpur. I managed to get a glimpse of the Petronus towers before getting to the airport. They were pretty impressive but heard there is nothing much else to do in KL so decided to spend more time on the islands!!!
At the airport i bought yet another camera because mine broke, again!! and then we got on the death flight!! It was only 55 mins long but after about half an hour we hit really bad turbulance. I got scared but then Emma grabbed my hand and think we made each other worse! The flight attendant said we were landing, what we didnt realise was that she meant in Singapore so Emma thought it was an emergency landing! haha! Scared the s*** out of both of, we started thinking about the brace position. My life flashed before my eyes! lol! The pilot was definately drunk or something though because it was the worst landing, well wobbly! We finally got off the plane and collected out luggage. As we were leaving the airport i realised i left my (Sarahs) small bag somewhere!! Oh NO!!! It had my debit and credit card in. So they have had to be cancelled and money sent to Emmas card etc etc what a pain in the bloddy neck. But to be fair anyone who knows me knows it was only a metter of time before i done something stupid and blonde!!!!!!
Anyway Ive been in Singapore yesterday and today and I love it!! Yesterday about 6pm we took a walk pretty much everywhere! We visited little India which had some crazy market where they were pretty much selling s*** e.g. remote controls, a dirty icrowave, old winnie the pooh bear, chains, worn clothes. Really good stuff! lol! Then we walked along and found a massive outdoor market, the biggest in India. It was amazing with clothes, jewellry, shoes, girft etc but you are not allowed to try anything on which sucks!! We kept walking and realised this place is full of shopping centres!!! The indoor ones had some great shops too.Emma stopped and had some fruit and i got some chilcken nuggets from mcdonalds lol! There was even a queue for Nandos! Oh yea everyone loves a bit of Nandos!!! We then saw the biggest water fountain in the world!!!! It was huge and had a lazer show in it but to be fair just looked like loads of water gushing out. Ive seen better ones in Disneyland in America. we then caught a train (which are so clean and on time!!!) to Chinatown. That was really cool with the lanterns, night market, food market and temples.
This morning we woke up at 7am (oops it should have been 7.30 i had another blonde moment) and went to Singapore Zoo. We got there for 10am and we left at 9pm after visiting the night safari. If you dont have long in Singapore I would definatelly recommend both the zoo and night safari but you prob dont need to get there quite so early!! We did have enough time to see absolutely everything though, including shows and feedings of lots of animals! There was an orangutang sanctuary which was open air, they just swang over you head. We also went into an area where we got up close to so many animals! There are hardly any barriers, lots of animals just roam free, bet zoo ever!!! The night safari was amazing too, seeing all the animals up close at night and there was a 40 minute tram ride which was excellent because by this time we had been walking for hours!!! We then saw a show with natives and fire!! They were amazing i took some photos and videos. All of a sudden they got me up on stage!!!! In front of everyone. They got me shooting darts and some guy!! I hit him in the leg and then they made me pull it out and see the blood!! They then got up a skinny chinese man and made him do fire tricks!! Im back at the hostel now and so tired!!!
