10 Aug

Last day in Singapore! I only really have one thing left that I wanted to do here, the Night Safari at the Zoo, so I spent a leisurely morning wandering around some of the shops on Orchard Road and went to see the Simpsons movie. I had heard mixed reviews of the film and have to say I think that they should quit while they're behind. They lost their way on the tv show a good while ago and they don't appear to have improved things in the big screen version.

I caught some of the National Day celebrations yesterday, which was interesting. I managed to make my way to a bridge nearby where most of the activities were going on, but there were too many people for comfort, and I ended up retreating to one of the big screens that was setup around the city centre to watch what was going on. They had an attempt to make the largest human Singapore flag on the ground of the Cricket club, with people using different coloured umbrellas. It looked very funny, but you'd really have had to be on the roof of one of the buildings to see it properly.

Was talking to Kelly earlier, apparently its 16 degrees in Perth and the moment and raining. It'll be nice to escape from the heat for a bit. Apparently I've an engagement part to go to tomorrow night as well, which should be a good chance to meet Kelly and Steve's friends. Am really looking forward to arriving in Oz.
