Singapore
This is kind of a trip around my own country, only made to happen because my very close friend from Australia came over for transit. It was a challenge to come up with an itinerary for travelling in wee hours, but we made it happen. Didn't follow exactly to plan, but that was also part of the excitement. It turned out to be an amazing and unforgettable night indeed.

After meeting her from the airport, we quickly deposited her luggage and took a bus to our first stop, 328 Katong Laksa, the most original place to get laksa. As it was already night time, the soup was less thick and was diluted (to my dismay). The otah was sub-standard. However, we were still happy overall.

Our next stop was to go eat durians at Geylang, but we stopped by another shop at Lorong 9 because I found two dishes that I want to let her try. They are oyster omelette and BBQ stingray. I am really glad we made this extra stop, because the food here is amazingly nice! I really love the chilli on the BBQ stingray (much nicer than it looks)!

Next, we just walked down Geylang road to find a durian seller. We just settled for the shop with the brightest lights... We went for the mid-level priced 猫山王, and bought a large one. The durian was excellent! Succulent meat, sweet and strong flavour, and the seeds are small so we are really getting our money worth. In fact, it was a little too much and we were very full after that.

After being very satisfied by Singapore food, we slowly strolled to East Coast Park past midnight and just walked along the park. We found a spot near the water and rested there. The southwestern monsoon winds were just beginning to blow, the waves were crashing, all in all a very relaxing environment. We just sat there, de-stressed for a bit and I started to ask her to teach me some yoga haha. We then noticed the sky was very clear and we could actually see a lot of stars. It was a lovely sight.

We then exited the park and took a cab to Bedok 85 Food Centre. Since we were still very full from the durian, we just settled for lime juice (to ease the queasy feeling from too much durians) and skipped the Bak Chor Mee.

We then cabbed back to the airport. Not long after the fun started, it is time to bid farewell again. However, we both know we definitely will go on trips together again in the future. We make it happen. Through our conversations, I really start to begin to realize how lucky and blessed to have went to ANU for exchange and met her. Someone who really cares and tries to make my life more positive. Positive changes and mutual motivation for each other. What a strong bond we share. This night shall be etched in our minds for a long time. Till next time.
