I'll Never Let this Go

I don't think words can truly describe how Singapore really was. It simply was......AWESOME! A whole different experience and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Though at first nothing seemed to work out as planned. There were parent issues, transport issues, and accommodation worries. Worst still, just a few days before the holiday we had passport problems (passport in washing machine..LOL) that ended with two friends excluding themselves from the trip. What a bummer, seriously. Then I thought the trip might just end up sucking.

Surprisingly, Singapore proved us wrong. I guess we were lucky enough to stay within Orchard Rd or rather on Scotts Rd where the city life is clearly evident. I swear you can find malls at every corner you turn. And where there are malls, there are sure to be crowds bustling around. It was definitely a shopping haven for us girls. It reminded me of Bintang Walk, but a more up-scale version of it. Everyone seemed dressed to the nines; fancy dresses, high-heels. We actually felt a lil under dressed in our tank tops and jeans..hehe.

I would have to say, we walked a lot. I guess it's because everything was a few blocks away, so walking made a whole lot of sense. And even when it wasn't very close.....we still walked! Thanks to the guys, who kept assuring us it was just over the bend..liars..lol. As part of the Singapore experience, we saw it fit to check out the clubbing scene. Clubbing there sure was an experience for us. I have never seen so many clubs/pubs located on one street. The great thing about clubs there is the array of people that you see; asians, foreigners, gays. And the fact that it stayed open till 5.30am didn't hurt either..hehe.

Paramore was....everything I thought it would be! They performed well and the crowd that turned up knew they deserved the applause they got! Hayley's voice was incredible. Love that they played 'The only exception', that's my song!hehe. It will definitely be one of the concerts I will always remember! We are such lucky kids..lol.

Singapore was a whole lot to take in but we enjoyed every bit of it. I guess the fact that we all went there as friends left us with no expectations, no strings attached but just pure fun. We could do exactly what we wanted to, fully liberated! I'm so thankful for the friends who made this trip a wonderful one. For taking us around and trying to make sure our three days were fully utilized. We owe you BIG TIME! Best part yet, I think I'm cured..hehe. No more insomniac zombie. Lets hope it doesn't come back! Will definitely post up photo updates as soon as I get them pictures!

In short, Singapore rocked!!!! (whatever happened in Singapore, stays in Singapore ok, guys..hehe.)
