Another catch up and another quick one. After I came back from my 40th birthday trip I went back to Jabiru and continued working there. During that time my long time penfriend and I (about 10 years) decided to finally meet. We first met on a penfriend website many years ago. She is originally from India but has been living and working in the UAE for the last few years. Anyway the date we finally decided on to meet in Singapore was actually my birthday week, which was great. We were only in Singapore for a week but we had a great time and will eventually meet up again somewhere else.
We did a lot of walking around (which I like) and visited, amongst other places, Jurong Bird Park, Little India, Little Arab Street and China town. One of the other places we went was Santosa Island (very touristy). I have to say my favourite thing on Santosa was the mechanical light show. They were two huge mechanical birds, on a pontoon, that moved. There bodies were large screens that sometimes were images of the birds torsos but at other times patterns and shapes etc. There was also fountains and jets of water from around the pontoon and the birds themselves and changing coloured lights. It was pretty cool and something different, and free.

Another place we went was the observatory deck on top of Marina Bay Sands (the big building that looks like it has a boat sitting on top). Nice view but you definately want to stay up there for a while for $20. There is a bar and restaurant, but not cheap.
