So you'll remember that I had visitors just a few weeks ago? Well here's the stories and photos:
My guests. The first week they were here I was still working so I would leave at around 6.30am for school and then go and meet them somewhere in Singapore after school. This is at Vivo City after another spectacular feed.
Ruth and I on Orchard Road. You'll note that I am carrying the all important umbrella that you daren't leave the house without. You also might notice the flags in the background and it should be noted that those are the Singaporean Flag, not Turkish flags for anyone who might think they are Turkish flags...not that anyone would ever think that eh Ruth?! No, no.
The second week they were here we alljetted sailed into the sunset. This is the floating city. Seriously, it was huge. 2000 passengers and 1400 crew. Apparently it holds the record for the most crew in the world...ever or something like that.
While we were checking in the girl obviously saw something on someone's passport about Ireland. Unable to contain her joy at knowing some Irish vocab she blurted out what she knew at us.
The word? Craic? Wrong! Guinness? Wa-wa! Riverdance? No siree! What she said to us as she was finishing our check in was 'gobshite!' (Actually she said 'gobshit' but we soon corrected her.) Turns out her sister's boyfriend is Irish and he says it. Ah you've got to love the Irish, teaching the world to swear in perfect harmony!
We went to Phuket in Thailand. This is on our canoe trip at the area where 'The Man With the Golden Gun' was filmed. Absolutely stunning.
Next stop was Langkawi, Malaysia. Unfortunately it looked more like Stranraer. Thankfully by lunchtime it had brighten up enough.
Should you ever find yourself in Langkawi and you read about the cablecar and the amazing views, you should believe them. However I want you to also remember the video you are about to watch. Pay careful attention to the steepness.

The pylon thing you can see is the first one from the top. Scary ass cablecar.
But seriously, what a view!
Back onboard we could resume shuffleboard. Another life goal achieved.
All too soon we were back in Singapore with only one thing left to do, get a Singapore Sling!
And a good time was had by all.

ahhh memories! a good '2 weeks in a nutshell' there tina. however, 2 gripes...
my turkey flag remark was on a jet lagged 1st day when we drove past a house with it outside - not when i saw a whole row of them on orchard road!!!! i mean i don't want to appear stupid here!
and although i am wearing 3 different tops in the photos you have selected it does at first glance look as though i wore the same damn top the entire trip!!!!! ha ha ha. a closer look will distinguish between a halterneck vest, string vest and regular vest!!!!
glad you cleared that up Ruth. I for one was a little concerened you'd turned into a dumb minger.
i hope you kicked Tina's ass at shuffleboard using all those skills greatly honed on Saturday hockey matches (go High School!) .
Seriously though... nice to see your smiley face again and to know someone is keeping an eye on Tina :-)
