Uniquely Singapore- Day 8

The lazing had been missed in the last one week and to compensate thats how day 8 precisely went on.Sleeping lots and watching random channels on TV, spent time on the PC and also watched a movie on DVD.Sauna was the afternoon treat and then spent some time on the pool side.

In the evening as decide we were off to the Night Safari.Dimly lit and tropical forest appearance with about 900 nocturnal animals-this was some offer .We started off with the tram ride that gave us a brief idea of the set up-The Himalayan, African and the South East asia angles and then there was "Creatures of the Night show". Participants being the racoons, owl, wolves, otters, hyenas and a python.Soon after which there was a tribal show which was primarily their catchy music and dance,with some fire, plus display of their abilities of shooting.
We then went on the forest trails which was categorised into 3-the fishing cat, giants and Leapord trail.The flying squirrel was something new and they were pretty big too!

The trail was exciting and for someone like me , I am convinced I walked through a forest!

So as to summarize the happenings on these areas so far, The Chinese yuan has been revaluated ,thats up 2.1 pc against the USD .Good for the Yuan but not so good news for the middle east currencies that are pegged against the dollar!We are going to find our weekly grocery bills shoot up in sometime,it should not be a surprise considering a country like UAE where 80 pc of the goods are imported.Much the same would happen to the OMR,SAR ,QRD and BHD. So my nation and favorite market has signed the prestigious N-deal.I wonder how things will be in the future.What reactions would come across for the several tests done and so on.Also very hazy about what the rising foreign reserves are going to serve by year 2010.Ofcourse credibility and all but stocking up about $662 million,is that such a good idea moving forward?! Etisalat have signed the MoU with Sudan's Unity.The farsight of this company has been excellent so far.Spreading investments through out this region since their monopoly is...

Will miss u...

My car- the cute206 : 65533 , will be missed terribly...so many joyous thoughts and experiences with it and has been one of my best friends! Together we've seen so many characters with us, explored new places, bad days on the road and even all those jolly, traffic-free drives with co-incidentally great music on the radio....! Never once gave up on me, always always loved it! Truly will miss u! :-(

Uniquely Singapore -Day 9

The first destination for the day was Haw Par Villa.The garden made by Aw Boon Haw for his brother Aw Boon Par is worth a visit ,if you ask me.The garden is Haw's effort to communicate to the world about Chinese culture.Orginally, Burmese the family moved to Singapore where Haw's famous Tiger Balm made him a billionare.The loss of his sons and brother during Japan's invation is what led to the making of this fantasy land by balm billionare.An ideal location to take pictures where creatures are as big as or even bigger than humans,the Buddha statue, ten courts of hell , Jade house and the tomb-a colorful place this is. We then headed to Little India for exploring the shops out there and get the Indian feel.We visited the Perumal and Mariamman temples there.The Mariamman temple is about 150 years old but well maintained and expanded a beautiful place.
