August was a busy month for me. As in non-stop (but fun) activity. In fact, the moment I finally stopped moving, I ended up getting the flu which forced me to rest for several days in a row. I'm happy to report that I'm all recovered now and I'll even go as far as saying the sickness was worth it because I had such a fabulous time when Rachel came to visit me here in Singapore!
Rachel is a life long friend. We met and became friends in kindergarten and we haven't looked back since! OK, that is a lie...we have looked back...twice to be exact. A fight in both third grade and fifth grade set our friendship back a tiny bit, but obviously we got over those little arguments ;)
Rachel's first stop was Australia to visit another childhood friend, Jean. Then the two of them flew over to Singapore together and spent a week touring this great city. We packed in a lot of fun in a short amount of time. I'm so glad they came to visit! Who would have thought that when we were all running around the playground together in elementary school that we would one day end up hanging out on the other side of the world? Certainly not me!
Chinatown!
Rachel and I got to spend some quality time together on day 1 while Jean and her husband traveled to Kuala Lumpur with some friends.
Shopping on Orchard Road
Dinner in Chijmes with Rachel, Jean and Jason
Fun at the casino...well, maybe not as much fun as we could have had since we didn't win any money!
This is probably as close to Universal Studios that we'll be since many of the major attractions aren't open and won't be until after we're gone. Not worth the admission price for us!
Sentosa Island
The Mega-Zip at Sentosa. That's Jason, Rachel and Jean coming down the wire!
All smiles after their zip wire fun!
...and if you're going to do the zip wire, you may as well do the flying trapeze too! :)
We rounded out the week in Singapore with trip over to Indonesia to relax on the beach in Bintan. It only takes 45 minutes to get there from Singapore...how could we resist?
Thanks for coming Rachel and Jean!
