Singapore: Cable cars and Karaoke
Posted by daveb on January 5th, 2009
We’ve now booked our flight to Australia, leaving from Singapore in a couple of days, so we made our way back from Kuala Lumpur to my saviour city. Carefully balancing our wallets, we enjoyed a cable car ride between Mount Faber and Sentosa Island, which is a bit wacky because it actually tunnels through a skyscraper to get between its destinations.
On our miniature budget there didn’t appear to be too much to do on Mount Faber apart from get back into our sky car and head towards all that is Sentosa — an island just off the coast of southern Singapore, which seems to have been manufactured into a Disney-esque pleasure resort. I treated Squiffy to a 4D cinema experience, which essentially involved watched a childish movie wearing 3D spectacles and occasionally gets rocked about, being sprayed with water or having our legs tickled under the seats. Manufactured and costly as it was, we both really enjoyed our the experience; more so because the group of Japanese twenty-somethings sat next us couldn’t contain their shrieks and screams.
After the movie, we decided that we should probably save our cash for more authentic travel experiences and–like the utter cheapskates that we are–sat on the free bus and looped the island circuit before returning to the mainland.
The next day, we discovered the once popular, now “so passe” (according to one local) Clarke Quay, complete with eponymous shopping centre which is where we discovered the joys of the KTV lounge — Karaoke in our language (alright, not our language at all, but you know what I mean). I hope by now that you’ve had a good belly-laugh at our Christmas song and New Year’s Eve atrocity. We had a lot of fun recording them and hope that your ears have stopped bleeding by now…
Thanks a lot Singapore. We’ve really enjoyed our stay here, albeit at some financial cost. You are the only place I know to with grand pianos in your hospitals and signs banishing the carriage of certain fruits on your public transport!

It is a contract between you and the insurance company.
Without having this minimal insurance, you could face heavy fines or even lose your license.
State universities, for example, are socialistic, yet they are not being criticized because of that
fact.
